Bonner County OKs planning and zoning appointments, approves subdivision final plat and a comp-plan map change
Summary
The board appointed members to the Planning and Zoning Commissions, approved the Bahia Del Sol final plat subdividing 13.89 acres into 23 lots, and adopted a small comprehensive-plan map amendment changing 2.794 acres from rural residential to transition.
Bonner County commissioners on Sept. 23 completed several land-use items: they confirmed new appointees to the Planning and Zoning Commissions, approved the final plat for Bahia Del Sol (second edition) and adopted a comprehensive plan map amendment for a 2.794-acre parcel.
Interim planning director Alex Vann explained the proposal to reassign processing of road vacations to Road & Bridge, but commissioners requested further coordination with HR and legal before taking action on that transfer. The board instructed staff to convene affected departments and return with recommended job‑description and process changes.
The board approved appointments to the Planning Commission — Dave Bowman (seat A), Brendan Mooney (seat B) and Larry Madoski (seat C) — by individual roll-call votes. For Zoning Commission openings the board considered several nominees, adjusted a proposed assignment for Michelle Johnson (assigning her to position D after deliberation), appointed Colton Boyles to a remainder term and appointed Joe Mok to position E; the board also agreed to reopen one vacancy and solicit further applications where needed.
On subdivision business, the board voted to approve the final plat for Bahia Del Sol, second edition (planning file S0005-24), authorizing the chair to sign. Planner Daniel Brienne reported that the applicant provided improvements, a cost estimate and a surety (150% of remaining improvements) reviewed and accepted by county engineers and legal. The board also adopted Resolution No. 2025-58 to change a parcel’s comp-plan map designation from rural residential to transition (file AM0001-25).
Commissioners recorded the votes for each motion and directed staff to complete associated administrative steps such as recording and filing the surety and resolution documents.
