Commission approves Hertz family transfer to create future residence parcels on Royal Coachman Drive
Summary
Missoula County commissioners approved a family transfer exemption for Adam and Britney Hertz to gift 1.07 acres to their minor children on a 5.36-acre parcel at 10414 Royal Coachman Drive. County reviewers noted an expired permit that the applicants resolved and required sanitation review for future development.
The Missoula County Board of Commissioners approved a family transfer exemption requested by Adam and Britney Hertz for property at 10414 Royal Coachman Drive.
Katie Reeder, planner with the Office of Planning, Development and Sustainability, presented the request and explained the parcel is approximately 5.36 acres and zoned Rural Residential Small Agriculture (RRS 1). The applicants proposed transferring 1.07 acres to their three minor children as a future residence parcel while retaining 4.29 acres as their primary residence.
Reeder said the Building Division identified an open and expired permit for the house; the applicants worked with Missoula Rural Fire and obtained final inspection clearance during the review process. Reeder also noted the Environmental Health Division requires sanitation review or an applicable exemption because the parcel is under 20 acres. Staff identified one rebuttable presumption that could indicate evasion of subdivision review but nevertheless recommended approval.
Adam and Britney Hertz answered staff questions confirming they did not plan to transfer the parcels to non-family within a year and that the recipients intend to reside on the parcel when they are adults. A commissioner moved to approve the family transfer exemption and the board voted in favor.
Future development on the newly created parcel will require compliance with building and sanitation permitting and inspections.
