Lincoln County approves several subdivision development agreements, adds plat warning on Sheep Creek Estates
Summary
On Sept. 8 the Board approved multiple subdivision files including Hidden Pines and Sheep Creek Estates, authorized the chairman to sign related development agreements, and required a plat warning about easements for Sheep Creek Estates with a recommendation that deed language also reference easements.
The Board of Lincoln County Commissioners approved a series of planning and subdivision items at its Sept. 8 session, including File 705 PZ 21 (Hidden Pines Subdivision) and File 208 MS 21 (Sheep Creek Estates Subdivision).
Commissioner Harmon moved to approve File 705 PZ 21 for Hidden Pines with Findings of Approval A–C, Conditions 1–5 and authorized the board chairman to sign the development agreement; the motion was adopted. Commissioner Hansen moved to approve File 208 MS 21 Sheep Creek Estates with Findings A–C and Conditions 1–5, authorized the chairman to sign the development agreement and requested that the developer add a plat warning about easements for lots 1–4 and that the warning also be placed on deeds as lots sell.
During discussion, planning staff noted a correspondence from Sheli Stumpp expressing concerns about limited sight distance for an approach; County Engineer Amy Butler said the design had been reviewed and approved by the Wyoming Department of Transportation, and surveyor Marlowe Scherbel said in his opinion the approach is visible about a quarter-mile in each direction. Deputy County Attorney Aaron Reynolds suggested including easement language on deeds when property transfers.
Commissioners also approved extensions and revisions for File 201 MS 18 Alpine Lakes Subdivision Phase II and File 202 MS 18 Alpine Village Subdivision No. 1 Plat 2 Amended (27th Filing) and authorized the chairman to sign the related revision and extension agreements.
Surveyor Marlowe Scherbel told the Board the planning office is handling a high volume of work—he described this year as the busiest in 40 years—and asked the Commission to consider adding mid-month hearings to help address backlog; the commissioners said they would take the request under advisement.
The transcript records motions and authorizations for the chairman to sign development agreements; it does not provide roll-call vote tallies.
