Town council annexes Wagon Wheel property and adopts R‑2 zoning for proposed townhomes
Summary
Council approved a petition to annex and rezone a roughly 2.12‑acre parcel to R‑2 for the Wagon Wheel Townhomes and adopted Resolution No. 492a after planning/zoning recommended the zoning; the vote was unanimous.
The Stevensville town council approved a petition to annex a 2.12‑acre parcel and to establish R‑2 residential zoning for the Wagon Wheel Townhomes development. Norman Nesli, a nearby resident, recounted the annexation history and said the parcel was overlooked during prior annexation and needed zoning clarity to proceed. Planning and zoning recommended R‑2; council moved to approve and adopted Resolution No. 492a.
Council recorded the roll‑call vote: Council members Bailey, Ross, Wendler and Smith voted "Aye," and the motion carried. The council described the action as a corrective step to match the parcel’s prior county zoning and to allow the development to move forward under town oversight.
Council discussed the procedural difference between the initial zoning request and the resolution that effectuates annexation and zoning under town code. Staff noted that the parcel’s prior county zoning had been R‑2, and the council’s action establishes that zone in town jurisdiction.
