Commissioners approve La Vista (LaSalle Vista) final plat for 12 light-industrial lots near Norwood
Summary
The board approved the final plat and associated resolution for the La Vista (LaSalle Vista) subdivision, which creates 12 industrial lots, requires subdivision improvements and includes cash-in-lieu payments for school and park land dedications.
San Miguel County commissioners voted unanimously June 11 to approve the final plat and adopt the implementing resolution for the La Vista subdivision (also referred to as LaSalle Vista), a 14.6-acre project west of Norwood that creates 12 light-industrial lots with required infrastructure and easements.
Senior planner John Huebner told the board the application completed the county’s five-step subdivision review. The final package included stamped construction plans, a drainage plan with a small detention pond, a declaration of covenants, an infrastructure maintenance agreement reviewed by county counsel, and a certified appraisal used to compute cash-in-lieu for school and park land dedications.
The applicant, MJ Rummel Investments LLC, represented by Morgan Rummel, provided required letters from the water district, environmental health and the Norwood Fire Protection District confirming service and fire protection. County engineering and survey staff reviewed construction plans and cost estimates and found them acceptable.
Under the land-use code the applicant elected to pay cash in lieu of dedicated land for school and parks. The appraisal used to compute those payments set a per-acre value that yielded $2,317.14 for the school land cash-in-lieu and $5,306.42 for park land cash-in-lieu. Commissioners said the appraisal came from a certified general appraiser and staff accepted it as consistent with the code’s calculation method.
The final plat also includes a building-constraints map showing utility setbacks, irrigation ditches and easements; a revegetation and noxious-weed control plan; and an infrastructure improvements agreement that will be secured with a financial guarantee before construction begins.
The board’s action adopts the final plat and resolution 2025-17 and requires standard follow-up steps: execution of the subdivision improvements agreement, submission of the required financial instrument, and final recording and inspections before lot development can proceed.
The motion carried unanimously.
