Applicant wins conditional-use approval for 2.06-acre non-farm residence south of Beulah
Summary
The Mercer County Planning Commission approved a conditional-use permit for a non-farm residence on a roughly 2.06-acre tract about eight miles south of Beulah. Applicant Carson Moore said access, easements and water and septic reviews are in place; the motion passed unanimously.
The Mercer County Planning Commission on May 15 approved a conditional-use permit that will allow a non-farm residence on an approximately 2.06-acre tract about eight miles south of Beulah.
Carson Moore, the applicant, told the commission the driveway approach already exists, easements with Roughrider are in place, "a hydraulic study was done so they have an approval with SW water," and he has spoken with Western Plains about septic. The parcel is described in county records as Tract 1 in the SE4 of Section 2, Township 142N, Range 88W of the 5th principal meridian.
The approval clears a zoning requirement that non-farm residences obtain conditional-use authorization in the county's agricultural zone. Commissioner Joey Neumiller moved to approve Zoning Case 25-05-01; Commissioner Shane Cole seconded. All five members present — Chairman Mike Eslinger, Cole, Chris Renner, Neumiller and Rick Bauman (by phone) — voted "aye."
The applicant and his representatives (listed in the application as Robb and Heidi Moore) addressed practical site details during the meeting: access, easements, stormwater/hydraulic review and septic consultation. The commission did not record additional conditions beyond the standard permitting process in the minutes.
Next steps include any required county permit processing tied to the conditional-use approval and any follow-up inspections or filings specified by county staff.
