Commissioners approve Rocky Mountain administrative plat; discuss Red Fox subdivision and County Line traffic concerns
Summary
The board approved an administrative plat allowing three lots and held extended planning discussion about the Red Fox subdivision and County Line infrastructure needs, urging sufficient right‑of‑way and a traffic study to protect future road capacity.
Planning staff presented the Rocky Mountain administrative plat, which creates three lots (one pre‑existing 0.69‑acre parcel and two smaller lots) and meets state water‑rights and platting requirements; the board approved the administrative plat by roll call. Commissioners noted the lots were created under earlier rules but meet current standards for approval.
The meeting then turned to a preliminary discussion of the proposed Red Fox subdivision and broader Greater Rigby area planning. Staff said the developer seeks city water service and asked the county to consider waiving a new NP study and some traffic‑study requirements. Commissioners and Public Works emphasized the importance of adequate right‑of‑way—several commissioners urged up to 100 feet on main roads to allow for future turn lanes and expansion—and recommended a traffic study that accounts for impacts at nearby intersections and the school. Staff said the item will return next week with details and suggested a development agreement to capture road, water and PI (pressurized irrigation) commitments.
