Board clears Terry Subdivision: variance, zone‑map amendment and final plat approved
Summary
After three linked public hearings, Sweetwater County commissioners unanimously approved a variance to reduce minimum rural residential district size to 4 acres, rezoned the parcels to rural residential, and adopted the Terry Subdivision final plat subject to required infrastructure and a 180‑day recording deadline.
Sweetwater County commissioners on Oct. 15 approved a trio of land‑use actions tied to the applicant Raymond Terry and the proposed Terry Subdivision: a variance to reduce the minimum rural residential district size to 4 acres (Resolution 24‑10‑ZO‑01), a zone‑map amendment from Agricultural to Rural Residential (Resolution 24‑10‑ZO‑02), and the final plat for the Terry Subdivision (Resolution 24‑10‑ZO‑03).
"The 3 hearings that you'll be hearing from me today are all gonna be tied together as they deal with the Terry Subdivision," planner Megan Toomer (Sweetwater County GIS and planner) told the board, summarizing staff review. Toomer said the change is a cleanup action to match zoning to how the land has been used and cited a 4–0 Planning & Zoning Commission recommendation and agency comments with no concerns. She described required infrastructure—access only via State Line Road (a Daggett County road), Town of Manila water service to each lot, Bridger Valley Electric power, and DEQ‑required enhanced on‑site septic systems for each lot during building permit review.
Toomer noted a key condition: the final plat must be recorded within 180 days of board approval, or it will become null and void (deadline listed as April 14, 2025), and several required improvements must be completed and approved by county staff and engineers before recordation. Commissioners moved and approved each resolution unanimously; no members of the public spoke during the hearings.
