Glenrock council approves zoning update and advances plats, opens hearing on car-wash parcel

The Glenrock Town Council on Nov. 24 approved an update to the town zoning code and moved forward on two subdivision plats, including a public hearing to formalize a car-wash parcel.

Mayor opened a public hearing on the Reblin final plat, saying the action "will make the car wash an individual property with its own address." He told the council the planning and zoning commission had recommended approval but the plat had not returned to the council previously; the town received the plat about three weeks ago and now must approve and register it with Converse County.

Later in the meeting the council approved Ordinance 756 — an update to Glenrock Town Code chapter 31 that adds article 31.05 — on its third and final reading by voice vote. The mayor called for "all those in favor signify by saying 'I'" and announced the motion carries. The council also held a public reading and approved first reading of Ordinance 755, which would approve the final plat for the Rail Addition, a two-lot subdivision of about 14.65 acres; first reading passed and the ordinance requires subsequent readings before taking full effect.

Council members asked staff procedural questions about addresses and recording; a resident clarified the car wash sits west of Morgan Trails on ECI-owned property. Town staff said the address for the separated parcel was on the plat but could not be recalled from memory during the meeting and will be confirmed as part of the registration process.

Next steps include registering the approved Reblin plat with the county and completing the remaining readings required for Ordinance 755 before it becomes effective.
