Commission approves one-year extension for Montana Wild preliminary plat
Summary
The board granted a one-year extension to July 7, 2026, for the Montana Wild subdivision preliminary plat after staff said the developer (represented by Fully Engineering) had remaining work including portable water storage, electrical systems and final septic inspections; there were no public comments.
Planning staff told the board that Fully Engineering, on behalf of developer John Vayak, requested a one-year extension of the Montana Wild preliminary plat for a 31‑lot, seasonal-access recreational subdivision. The project was originally submitted in 2012, received preliminary approval again in April 2021, and had a prior one‑year extension; the current extension was set to expire July 7, 2025.
Staff summarized work completed (septic diversion structure, portions of drain fields, some road widening and storm-pond clearing) and listed remaining items that must be finished before final plat submission, including final septic tank/field inspections, portable water storage and electrical systems. Staff recommended a one‑year extension to expire July 7, 2026 so the applicant could complete the remaining work.
A commissioner moved to grant the extension and another seconded. Commissioners briefly discussed the project’s long timeline and seasonal-access constraints; no members of the public offered comment. The commission voted to approve the requested one‑year extension. The applicant is expected to continue work this season and return with a final plat application within the extension period.
