County approves two-lot Osler/Austin subdivision near Dicky Lake with water-rights conditions
Summary
The board granted preliminary approval for a two-lot subdivision near Dicky Lake (Osler/Austin), recommended a 50-foot Dicky Creek buffer, and required DNRC review and water-rights designation for irrigation/stock use.
Planning staff recommended and commissioners granted preliminary plat approval for a two-lot subdivision in the Dicky Lake neighborhood (referred to as Osler/Austin in packet). Staff noted the parcel had been productive hay ground with existing water rights to Dicky Creek intended to be transferred to the applicant’s entity (Montana Lake Getaway LLC). The board recommended a 50-foot no-build buffer along Dicky Creek and carried forward DNRC Form 602i groundwater/permit requirements among the 19 standard conditions.
Commissioners discussed that wells in the area are prolific and deep, and that water-rights paperwork will need to be updated and designated to the new parcels. The motion for preliminary plat approval with standard conditions passed by voice vote.
