Planning commission recommends DIA Subdivision permit for five residential tracts on Road 124

The Laramie County Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of a subdivision permit and plat for the DIA Subdivision, a 35.01-acre parcel at 2619 Road 124 in Laramie County. The commission moved the recommendation to the Laramie County Board of Commissioners with no conditions.

Kate Kunder, associate planner, opened the public hearing and described the proposal as a request to divide the parcel into five residential tracts averaging roughly eight acres, with the existing residence to remain on Lot 1. Kunder said pertinent Wyoming statutes and local land‑use regulations apply and that staff found the application met the county’s subdivision and land‑use criteria.

Mark Chris Roy Christiansen, the applicant’s agent, told the commission the goal was simply to subdivide the parcel for residential development. "Nothing to add, just simply looking to subdivide this for residential development," Christiansen said, describing four smaller tracts of about 6.5 acres and one larger tract the owner intends to retain. He said access spacing is adequate and noted a private access easement to the west serving the existing owner.

Kunder said traffic and drainage study waivers were approved by the engineers because anticipated impacts would be minimal, and staff recommended forwarding the item to the Board of Commissioners. Commissioners asked about the size and conformity of a nearby roundabout; the applicant and staff said the design meets land‑use standards and plans were available for review.

A public hearing was opened and closed with no in‑person or virtual comments. Following a motion and second, the commission approved the recommendation on a roll call vote with Commissioners Defoea, Gasper, Watkins and Chairman Coy recorded as voting in favor. The action now advances to the Laramie County Board of Commissioners for final consideration.
