Summary

The Planning Commission forwarded DLLP26-002 (MFRE2U Ranch) to county commissioners with a requirement that legal access to Parcel 2 be provided (easement or other recorded access) before final map recordation; staff noted BLM easement processes may take up to a year.

Corey presented DLLP26-002, an application by MFRE2U Ranch LLC to create two large parcels from a full-section parcel. Staff recommended approval with conditions and emphasized that legal access must be provided before the final map can be recorded.

Engineer Bob Thibault, representing the applicant, clarified that an existing BLM road (BLM Road 1113) touches Parcel 1 and that creating an east–west easement on the map would provide legal access to Parcel 2. Thibault said obtaining a BLM easement is a lengthy process but the applicant can create a private easement on the final map to ensure access between parcels in the short term. "Of course, getting an easement from the BLM is a year long process," Thibault said, adding that the proposed mapping and recorded easement would resolve county recording requirements.

Commissioners stressed that final map recordation would be contingent on legal access and moved to forward the application to the county commissioners with that condition; the motion carried by voice vote.
