After hearing from applicant and staff, board member Colleen Riley successfully added an approved fire plan as a seventh condition before forwarding the Jones Creek subdivision to the County Commission.

During final motion and discussion the Planning Board added a fire‑plan approval requirement to the staff's conditions for the Jones Creek subdivision. Colleen Riley moved that a fire plan be included; staff reported phone coordination with West Valley Fire Chief Greg Vauthier and said he had no written objections.

Planning Director Carl Hamming and Planner Gayla Hess said they had discussed driveway lengths, turnarounds and other access measures with the fire chief and felt those issues could be addressed in a plan. The board adopted the amended motion and forwarded the recommendation to the County Commission.
