Summary

Joshua and Danielle Livingston asked the board to amend Subdivision #3750 to allow development of Lot 3 on Bragg Hill Road and requested conditional use approval for slopes over 15%. The board deemed the application complete and requested cut‑and‑fill limits, limits of disturbance and erosion‑control measures; applicants prefer not to clear trees before sale.

Joshua and Danielle Livingston presented Applications #3887 and #3902 to amend Subdivision #3750 (Parcel ID 06-057d) and to obtain conditional use approval to develop Lot 3 on Bragg Hill Road, including construction on slopes greater than 15%.

Board members asked for greater specificity on cut‑and‑fill plans, limits of disturbance that must include locations of septic and driveway, and erosion‑control measures for steep drive access. Jason Wilson noted that the mound system location need not fall inside the building envelope but that future buyers would need any amendment if they change the house location. Danielle Livingston said they “don’t want to do the clearing before selling, in case the buyer likes the trees where they are.” Ky Koitzsch noted potential driveway grades and recommended showing erosion control measures; he also asked whether an 18" culvert on the site needs to be larger, and Joshua Livingston said the ditch is shallow and that the 18" culvert “is good” because it does not receive water regularly.

Pete Ludlow moved to deem the applications complete; the motion passed unanimously. The board said it will provide an itemized list of final site‑plan requirements to reduce the likelihood that a purchaser would need to return to the board for further amendments.
