Commissioners approve vacating and replatting Sage Park lot, allowing substandard Lot 1B with conditions
Summary
After a public hearing, the board approved vacating Lot 1 of Sage Park Minor Subdivision and replatting it into Lots 1A and 1B, creating a substandard Lot 1B contingent on recorded written acknowledgments from all subdivision landowners.
The Converse County Board of Commissioners approved an application to vacate Lot 1 of Sage Park Minor Subdivision and replat the parcel into Lot 1A and Lot 1B on June 16, 2026, with conditions the board said are intended to protect existing covenants and neighboring owners.
Tory Walsh, Special Projects Coordinator, presented the application and noted the Town of Glenrock had approved the request by resolution but the County Planning and Zoning Commission had denied the variance on May 19, 2026 for regulatory nonconformance. The applicant, J.J. Butler, was not present at the hearing. John H. Dahler, an owner within the subdivision and representative of Glenrock Golf Course, described the golf course’s intent to build a cold storage building on proposed Lot 1B and said funding would come from previously allocated clubhouse funds.
Following discussion about fencing, drainage, setback and covenants, Commissioner Trent Kaufman moved to approve the vacate and replat with the variance contingent upon receipt and recording of written acknowledgments from all subdivision landowners that the plat creates a substandard Lot 1B and does not conform with certain covenants (including setback limitations). Commissioner Robert Short seconded and the motion carried.
The board instructed that plat language reflect that the Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed the application but did not approve it. Commissioners encouraged the golf course to engage local contractors for the building project when it proceeds.
