Summary

At its April 8 meeting the board unanimously approved several land-use matters including Etna Village Estates filings, Hodges Family Subdivision, DEC Subdivision, Wrangler Road and other simple subdivisions, plus conditional-use permits including Ridgeline Timber and Star Valley Storage.

The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners met April 8 and heard a full planning agenda presented by Planning Director Ken Kuluski and planning staff.

Planner Mikayla Hibbert presented Etna Village Estates Subdivision Phase II Third and Fourth Filings (Files 702 MA 26 and 703 MA 26) and the board approved both files with recommended findings and conditions. Katie Gipson and Kuluski presented a series of additional filings and simple subdivisions — including the Hodges Family Subdivision (File 804 AP 26), DEC Subdivision Third Filing (File 805 AP 26), Leon Livingston 3rd Filing (File 806 AP 26), Scot's View Third Filing (File 807 AP 26), Stewart Creek 5th Filing (File 808 AP 26), Ivie Plantation (File 403 SS 26) and Pleasant View Subdivision Third Filing (File 206 MS 21) — and the board unanimously approved these items with findings and conditions described by staff.

During discussion of File 402 SS 26 Wrangler Road Subdivision, a neighboring landowner requested verification that proper, signed legal documentation existed establishing legal access for the two lots. Planning Director Ken Kuluski confirmed legal access from Wrangler Road, and the board approved the simple subdivision with findings and a resolution of approval.

Kuluski also presented a Conditional Use Permit for Ridgeline Timber (File 108 CUP 26) for a proposed light manufacturing prefabrication and sales facility. He noted correspondence from WYDOT regarding access and a Game & Fish comment regarding wildlife protections and noxious-weed spread. Commissioner Melvin Shumway commented on those points. The board approved the CUP with findings and conditions. The board also approved File 111 CUP 26 Star Valley Storage, which adds 40 storage spaces to an existing permit as a remedy to permitting violations; staff noted the Roberts had operated since the 1980s and requested consideration on fines.

All planning motions passed unanimously. Chairman Kent Connelly thanked in-person attendees and adjourned the April 8 session at 10:29 a.m.

Next steps: staff will finalize recorded approvals, conditions and development agreements as directed in the respective motions.
