Grant County P&Z defers Lake Tschida permit-approval authority pending legal guidance
Summary
The commission discussed whether the Planning & Zoning committee should take over approvals for Lake Tschida cabin and trailer areas but decided to take no action at the Sept. 12 meeting and requested guidance from the County State’s Attorney before proceeding.
The Grant County Planning & Zoning Commission discussed whether its committee should assume responsibility for approving building permits in the Lake Tschida cabin and trailer areas and deferred any decision until it obtains legal guidance.
The minutes record that members debated shifting permit-approval authority but concluded there would be "no action to be taken until more information is obtained; specifically, from the County State’s Attorney." The transcript does not identify a specific member who made the request for legal review.
The commission also discussed an apparent instance of additional construction by Richard Erdman that may have exceeded permit specifications; after consideration, members decided not to take enforcement action at this meeting. The minutes do not detail staff findings or any timeline for further investigation.
Nut graf: The two items—jurisdictional authority for Lake Tschida permit approvals and a potential overbuild by Richard Erdman—were discussed but not resolved. The commission explicitly deferred action on the Lake Tschida matter pending legal advice from the County State’s Attorney and recorded no enforcement action regarding the Erdman discussion.
The commission set its next regular meeting for Oct. 10, 2024, at 9 a.m. MT, where either item could reappear if additional information is provided.
