Nicholson conservation subdivision approved; planner notes conservation track record

Sheridan County Board of Commissioners · September 1, 2026

Summary

The board approved CD260002 (Nicholson Conservation Subdivision), a conservation‑design subdivision across ~70.02 acres with conditions requiring recorded declarations and plat note corrections. Staff noted conservation design subdivisions since 2012 have conserved 1,049 acres and that this project would create ~72 home sites.

The board approved a conservation subdivision application (CD260002) for the Nicholson property, which proposes conservation design on approximately 70.02 acres.

Mark, the county planner, summarized the application and the planning commission’s recommended conditions: record the declaration of restrictions and correct plat notes prior to execution of the final plat. He said there were no variance requests and that the planning commission recommended approval. Staff noted that conservation design subdivisions adopted since 2012 have conserved about 1,049 acres countywide and that this proposal would establish roughly 72 home sites while preserving a substantial portion of land.

Commissioners expressed support for conservation design; the board approved the item with the recommended conditions by voice vote. Final plat execution will follow completion of the recorded declaration and other administrative requirements.
