Commission recommends approval with easement condition for 2-lot split on Road T
Summary
A two‑lot minor subdivision and rezoning application for property at 27980 Road T in Dolores was recommended for approval by the Montezuma County Planning and Zoning Commission, subject to a condition that an access easement to the lower 29.35‑acre parcel be dedicated on the final plat.
The Montezuma County Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the Board of County Commissioners approve a proposed two‑lot minor subdivision and rezoning on property at 27980 Road T in the Dolores area. The application would create a roughly 6.5‑acre parcel and a 29.35‑acre parcel from an existing 35.85‑acre parcel; the applicant indicated the existing Road T driveway would serve the new lot.
Planning staff told the commission that surrounding uses are mixed — residential, agricultural, and light and heavy industrial — and that water and infrastructure are already in place. The applicant said there is a long‑standing easement used between the subject property and adjacent Ironwood property; commissioners discussed whether that easement would serve the lower parcel after a split and whether a separate, dedicated easement must be shown on the final plat.
Commissioners made dedication of an access easement to the lower 29.35‑acre parcel a condition of their recommendation. No public commenters spoke. The commission voted unanimously to recommend approval. Roll-call votes recorded: Commissioner Hernandez — Aye; Commissioner Nygaard — Aye; Commissioner Armstrong — Aye.
Planning staff and the applicant noted that final survey work will plot easements and that the final plat must show any required easement dedication.
