Summary
The board adopted Resolution 2026-22 permitting a second dwelling at 5330 N Twin Lakes Road and Resolution 2026-23 allowing a 40x50-foot helium-extraction building for Alex Brown and Sons LLC/DLX Titan 2 LP; county staff emphasized the county's jurisdiction covers the on-site building while the Nebraska Oil and Gas Commission regulates the well.
The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners approved two conditional-use permits during the meeting. Resolution 2026-22 grants a conditional-use permit to James Bunyan to construct a second dwelling at 5330 North Twin Lakes Road after commissioners concluded the application complies with Lincoln County zoning and subdivision regulations.
The board also approved Resolution 2026-23 for Alex Brown and Sons LLC and DLX Titan 2 LP to construct a 40-by-50-foot steel building to house helium-extraction equipment on North Birdwood Road. County counsel and staff clarified the county's authority covers the building and on-site equipment placement, while the Nebraska Oil and Gas Commission retains jurisdiction over the well itself. Planning staff confirmed the application meets zoning and subdivision criteria and the motion to approve passed on roll call.
