Commission approves highway permits including private approach and two Black Hills Energy utility permits
Summary
The board approved a private approach permit on Elk Creek Road after a highway site inspection and approved two utility permits submitted by Black Hills Energy, including a bore under Galena Road, with standard conditions from the superintendent.
The county's highway superintendent recommended approval of a private approach permit on Elk Creek Road after conducting a site visit and reporting adequate sight distances (525 feet north, 800 feet south), no floodplain concerns, and no required culvert. The board approved the superintendent's recommendation by voice vote.
The superintendent also presented two related utility permits from Black Hills Energy for trenching and a bore under Galena Road. He noted the work would be placed at the outer limits of the right of way, meet minimum depth requirements per county ordinance 0701, and avoid digging in the road or road edge. The utility company provided an estimate, and the superintendent recommended approval with standard stipulations. Commissioners approved both permits following the superintendent's recommendations.
The approvals were recorded as routine right-of-way permits subject to the stipulated construction and trenching conditions.
