Commission approves separate Modern Land subdivision rezoning with conditions and lower lot cap
Summary
For a different parcel (application 24-2000-0011), the commission approved rezoning about 900 acres to ARCRD2 with conditions: development agreement, road‑maintenance arrangements with Spring Creek Association, exclusion of certain dead‑end neighborhood roads as primary access, and a maximum of 110 lots.
The commission approved Modern Land & Development LLC’s application (24-2000-0011) to rezone approximately 900 acres to ARCRD2 (5‑acre minimum) for future subdivision — a request separate from the previously denied ski‑resort application. Staff recommended approval with conditions (statutory compliance, deed verbiage, and a development agreement) and the applicant (Mike Shanks) described a phased approach beginning with larger parcels and potential later subdivision as water rights and infrastructure allow.
Public comment emphasized traffic, water and septic concerns; multiple residents urged keeping lots at 40‑acre minimum rather than creating many smaller parcels. Commissioners negotiated mitigations: add the developer to a required development agreement, require an enforceable arrangement for road maintenance with Spring Creek Association, exclude several narrow dead‑end neighborhood roads (Cripple Creek, Eagle Creek, Wolf Creek, Sumac) from being used as primary access, and set a maximum of 110 lots. The motion to approve with those modifications carried by voice vote.
Next steps: applicant to provide a tentative map, traffic study and infrastructure details; staff to verify compliance with development‑agreement conditions before any final subdivision approval.
