Billings County zoning board approves rezoning, temporary campgrounds and schedules work session
Summary
At its March 19 meeting the Billings County Zoning Board approved a minor subdivision rezoning and variance, a two-site RV campground with conditions, and a temporary glamping campground tied to the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library grand opening; it also scheduled an April 16 work session on temporary-use rules.
The Billings County Zoning Board met March 19 and unanimously approved three land-use applications and scheduled a zoning work session. Chairman Dean Rodne called the meeting to order at 1:00 p.m.; all seven board members were present and votes on each action were unanimous.
The board approved application 2026-03, a request by Cole Faller to rezone a roughly 1.01-acre tract in E1/2NE1/4 12-143-99 (1305 126th Ave SW) from Agriculture to Residential to legitimize an existing mobile home, granting a variance from the five-acre minimum. Cathy Cerkoney moved "to approve application 2026-03 with the variance," and Rodney Syminow seconded; the motion passed with all voting aye.
Separately, the board rezoned the NW1/4NW1/4 of section 8-142-99 to Recreational and approved a conditional-use permit for a two-site RV campground (application 2026-05) with conditions that limit the permit to two RV sites and require a building permit for a planned underground storm shelter. The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation's request (application 2026-07) for a temporary glamping campground on about 10 acres north of the Medora Campground was approved with multiple conditions, including health inspections for food service and compliance with dark-sky lighting requirements; the site is proposed to operate approximately June 18–July 13 to support the library's grand opening.
The board also noted that an administrative approval will be issued for a new house permit (application 2026-04) in Sully Creek Subdivision once materials are submitted, and scheduled a work session at 10:00 a.m. on April 16 to review proposed amendments to Article VI: Special Provisions 6.17 (Mobile Food Units, Transient Merchants, and Temporary Use Permits). The meeting adjourned at 2:50 p.m.
