County grants preliminary plat approval for Elk Sky four-lot subdivision near Eureka with 19 conditions
Summary
The Lincoln County planning staff recommended and commissioners granted preliminary approval for the Elk Sky four-lot subdivision near Eureka, subject to 19 conditions including DNRC 'notice of intent' (Form 602i) requirements related to groundwater/wells.
Planning staff presented the Elk Sky four-lot subdivision and recommended preliminary plat approval with 19 standard conditions. The property (approximately five-acre lots) is north of Eureka and includes one existing residence; staff concluded the project will have limited impacts to agriculture, utilities and the natural environment but recommended conditions related to access, covenants, and new DNRC procedures for exempt wells (Form 602i notice of intent to appropriate groundwater).
Commissioners discussed local well variability (static water levels and differing depths) and the implications of DNRC’s new oversight for exempt wells. The motion to grant preliminary approval with the 19 conditions passed by voice vote. Staff will require the applicant to file the DNRC notice and to add required covenants and road approach approvals before final platting.
