Commissioners grant conditional preliminary approval for 32‑lot Lazy KU subdivision
Summary
The Yellowstone County commissioners conditionally approved the major preliminary plat for the Lazy KU Subdivision second filing — a 32‑lot development — subject to DEQ water/wastewater approvals, roadway construction to specs, and county comments addressed before final plat.
The Yellowstone County Board of County Commissioners granted conditional preliminary approval Wednesday for the Lazy KU Subdivision second filing, a 32‑lot major preliminary plat located north of Danford Road and 70 Second Street West in the Laurel planning jurisdiction.
Kirk (presenting as 'Kermer' from the Laurel planning department) explained that the applicant (documents submitted by WWC Engineering on behalf of Cheryl Ann Kramer) provided the required materials, including an environmental assessment, weed-management plan, traffic-impact study, declaration of covenants, and a draft subdivision improvement agreement. The presentation noted that water and wastewater design and construction plans remain subject to Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) approval and that RSID documentation for dry hydrant and road‑maintenance provisions will join existing Lazy KU RSIDs.
Laurel's planning board recommended approval with conditions: formal DEQ approval of water and wastewater design, construction of roadways and right‑of‑way to the specifications shown in the plat documents, and resolution of county-department comments prior to final plat and SIA (subdivision improvement agreement) execution. The preliminary‑plat approval is valid for three years from acceptance under the stated findings.
Commissioner Jones moved for conditional approval with the listed conditions; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The transcript records the board's conditional preliminary approval; DEQ approval and other conditions remain outstanding prerequisites before final plat acceptance.
