1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:10,160
Good morning everyone. I call this
meeting of September 1st, 2026 to order.

2
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:15,360
Please join me in the pledge of
>> allegiance.

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:19,199
I pledge algiance to the flag of the
United States of America and to

4
00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:24,960
[clears throat] the republic for which
it stands. One nation under God,

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:30,840
indivisible, with liberty and justice
for all.

6
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,840
Our

7
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:37,200
next item is the consent agenda and it
includes six items. It was published and

8
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:40,239
copies are available. If you'd like to
discuss an item, it'll be moved to the

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,920
regular agenda and comments can be made
at that time.

10
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,480
» Madam Chair,
>> yes, Commissioner Jennings,

11
00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:46,719
» I move to approve the consent agenda and
authorize the chair to sign documents as

12
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:49,280
required.
>> Second.

13
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,760
» We have a motion and a second. All those
in favor, please signify by saying I.

14
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,640
» I.
>> I. Those opposed. Motion carries.

15
00:00:55,039 --> 00:01:00,800
I would look for a motion to approve the
agenda. Madame Chair, I move to approve

16
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:06,080
the agenda as published. Second.
>> Okay. Thank you. All those in favor,

17
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:11,600
please signify by saying I. I.
>> Those opposed. Motion carries.

18
00:01:09,119 --> 00:01:16,479
» Item four is announcements. And we have
lots to celebrate this morning. Um I

19
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:22,400
just let folks know that the courthouse
will be closed Monday, September 7th in

20
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:26,240
observance of Labor Day. Um and we have
a handful of employee appreciations this

21
00:01:24,479 --> 00:01:29,520
morning. Um, we're recognizing four
employees for their service to Sheridan

22
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:34,320
County. They'll receive a certificate of
appreciation and chamber bucks. Um, we

23
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:41,000
have assistant building official Daniel
Nean with public works celebrating 5

24
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:41,000
years of service. Morning.

25
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,680
» Congratulations.

26
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:58,280
Uh, we have Scott Stewart with the
sheriff's office celebrating 15 years of

27
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,280
service.

28
00:01:59,866 --> 00:02:05,439
[applause]
>> Some of those were here. [laughter]

29
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,600
» Congratulations.
>> Thank you.

30
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:17,080
» We have property appraiser uh Steve

And we have Chief Deputy Treasurer Katie
Miller with the County Treasurer

33
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,120
celebrating 20 years of service.

34
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,151
She
>> started when she was 10. [laughter]

35
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:53,599
All right.
Item five is public comments on matters

36
00:02:50,959 --> 00:02:57,640
not on the agenda. And Mr. Pollock
signed up to speak on this.

37
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,080
» Good morning,
chair commissioners. My name is Harry

38
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,599
Pollock and I'm a citizen of Sheridan
County.

39
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:21,680
Uh, a few legitimate questions deserve
answers regarding the ballot handc count

40
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:26,800
uh, audit that took place on last
Saturday, August 29th.

41
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:30,560
Um, why was Clint the deputy county
attorney asking observers about who

42
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:34,400
called Chuck Gray, our secretary of
state, and publicly identifying the

43
00:03:32,239 --> 00:03:39,599
county commissioner as a person he
believed made the call? What legitimate

44
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:43,840
purpose did that serve? and why publicly
single out that county commissioner if

45
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,879
not to publicly defame that county
commissioner.

46
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:51,760
Uh the election had already been
certified. Uh there were no voters

47
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:56,319
casting ballots and the ballots contain
no voter names. Yet observers were

48
00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:01,519
required to obey photocopied notices
stating no phone use and no recording

49
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:05,040
devices with the threat of removal for
taking pictures.

50
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:09,280
Even more troubling came high in the
acting deputy clerk and Clint Beaieber

51
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:14,959
the county deputy attorney handed
observers a copy of the Wyoming

52
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:20,239
constitution article 6 section 11. It is
titled manner of holding elections

53
00:04:17,759 --> 00:04:24,479
highlighting the sentence all voters
shall be guaranteed absolute privacy in

54
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:29,280
the preparation of their ballots and the
secrecy of the ballot shall be made

55
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:34,720
compulsor.
But where were the voters whose ballot

56
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:39,199
uh preparation privacy supposedly needed
protecting?

57
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:44,080
This was a post-election handc count
audit of anonymous ballots.

58
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:48,960
It certainly raises the questions
whether the highlighted constitutional

59
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:55,680
provision was being used to intimidate
citizens from from photographing or

60
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:59,680
documenting a public government process.
And if government officials are

61
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:02,960
restricting citizens from recording what
they are permitted to observe, that

62
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:08,479
raises serious first amendment
transparency questions under the US

63
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:13,199
Constitution as well. Transparency
builds confidence. Intimidation and

64
00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:17,039
unnecessary restrictions destroyed.
Thank you.

65
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:23,120
» Thank you for your comments, Mr.
Pollock. They are part of the official

66
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:27,600
record. All right. Moving on to item
six. We will consider the revised mutual

67
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:32,240
aid agreement between Sheridan County,
Wyoming and Big Horn County, Montana for

68
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:37,400
emergency service mutual aids. And I'll
call Jesse Ludicouse, emergency

69
00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:37,400
management coordinator

70
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:50,560
before you today. It's a mutual aid
agreement between Cary and Big Horn

71
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:54,800
County, Montana. The purpose of this
agreement is straightforward. It

72
00:05:52,639 --> 00:06:00,160
provides a formal process for our two
counties to assist one another when an

73
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:06,400
emergency, disaster, wildfire, or other
significant event exceeds the resources

74
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:11,120
available within each jurisdiction.
It allows us to request and provide

75
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:15,759
personnel, equipment, supplies, and
other emergency resources while clearly

76
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:21,840
identifying responsibilities for
command, cost, insuranceances, and the

77
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:25,199
return of those resources.
This board has approved this agreement

78
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:29,600
previously. [clears throat] After that
approval, it went through the required

79
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:34,400
state review process and the attorney
general's office requested some

80
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:39,680
additional language. Those changes have
now been incorporated, which is why the

81
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:43,360
agreement is back before you today.
The agreement specifically requires a

82
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:48,880
review and approval by the attorney
general of Wyoming and Montana.

83
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:52,319
The important point is that the main
intent of this agreement has not

84
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:57,199
changed. It continues to provide a
framework for Sheridan County and Big

85
00:06:54,479 --> 00:07:02,080
Horn County to help each other quickly
and effectively when additional

86
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:08,000
emergency resources are needed.
That'll stand it for any questions.

87
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:12,160
» Any questions for Jesse?
>> Madam Chair, Commissioner Denn.

88
00:07:09,599 --> 00:07:17,120
» Um just a quick question more
clarifying. Um under section six it

89
00:07:15,039 --> 00:07:21,919
talks about supervision and control
resources and it says that it uh goes to

90
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:26,720
the designated supervisory personnel
which u section five is is you you're

91
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:30,400
the authorized representative. Correct.
>> Correct.

92
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:35,680
» Is is there a level of resources um that
we're either offering or asking where um

93
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:40,880
you would come before the commissioners
for approval or is that just complete? I

94
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:47,120
think we're going to give it your hands.
um for those quick authorizations. No,

95
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:52,479
it'll go right to me for uh just to to
provide those emergency resources. But

96
00:07:49,919 --> 00:07:58,560
uh we if those resources were requested
just as we do for individual aid u out

97
00:07:55,199 --> 00:08:02,560
of county resources, we would I would
let Cameron know and then you would

98
00:08:00,479 --> 00:08:05,440
inform you guys of of the emergency
that's taking place and the requests

99
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:09,280
that have been made.
>> Okay. Thank you. I appreciate that. Um

100
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:12,319
and yeah and to point out on here we
provision said it says withdrawal of

101
00:08:10,879 --> 00:08:17,120
resources. So at any time if the
commission decides that you are that

102
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:22,240
this is not something that we want to
assist with or it's not in our purview

103
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:25,759
or for whatever the reasons are you can
make that that request and we can

104
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:29,039
immediately withdraw those resources at
any moment.

105
00:08:26,479 --> 00:08:31,840
» Okay. Thank you
>> Madam Chair.

106
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:36,000
» Yes. I move to approve and authorize the
chair to sign the revised mutual aid

107
00:08:33,839 --> 00:08:40,000
agreement between Sheran County, Wyoming
and [clears throat] Big County, Montana

108
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:44,800
for emergency services mutual aid.
Second

109
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:50,880
» a motion and a second. Any discussion?
>> Uh I guess I didn't uh get a chance to

110
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:57,200
chime in here. The term there's there's
no term to revisit this. Do you guys uh

111
00:08:54,560 --> 00:09:01,360
get together as a joint like every
couple years and and look this over

112
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:06,000
because it's the term is it's
incorporated right now.

113
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:10,800
» That is correct. Yeah, it it won't uh
change unless there's a reason to remove

114
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:15,519
it um as it specifies in there the
emergency manager. So their emergency

115
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:20,480
manager and I will create some kind of
standard operating procedure for how

116
00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:26,959
this will look going forward. And um at
any moment in time um any two any of the

117
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:30,800
two uh agencies with 30-day notice can
withdraw from this agreement.

118
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,519
» Yes.
>> Any other discussion?

119
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,040
» Madam Chair.
>> Yeah.

120
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:42,880
» I um I actually am in favor of this kind
of uh agreement because as we've seen in

121
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:48,240
the past couple years, fires can go over
borders very quickly and um different

122
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:52,800
states. So, I'm glad to see us working
together with other states to try and

123
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:56,880
help each other out. I'll be in favor of
this.

124
00:09:54,560 --> 00:10:00,160
Any other discussion? Okay, hearing
none. All those in favor, please signify

125
00:09:58,399 --> 00:10:04,399
by saying I. I.
>> Those opposed? Motion carries. Thank

126
00:10:01,839 --> 00:10:09,680
you, Kelsey.

142
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:27,600

Yes, Commissioner Jennings. I

146
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:50,959

00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:56,560
» Second

148
00:11:54,880 --> 00:12:01,760
those in favor please signify by saying
I. I. I. Motion carries.

149
00:11:59,839 --> 00:12:05,040
Item nine is to consider the landowner
conservation district agreement for the

150
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:08,800
Sheridan County Tiny River Clean Burn
Stream Stabilization Water Quality

151
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:12,399
Improvement Project. We'll call on Ken
Muller again.

152
00:12:09,839 --> 00:12:17,680
» Yeah, Madam Chair, this uh agreement is
with us and the conservation district.

153
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:23,200
As you board knows, we went out for uh
some grant funding to help us repair our

154
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:28,000
portion of Tongue River there inside the
Clean Burn Recreational Area that's got

155
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:33,200
a large cut and erosion going on.
happened for years. Uh we were

156
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:37,680
successful in that.
The total amount of grams is 375,000.

157
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:43,000
And you can see in the budget
justification how that breaks down

158

wildlife trust 300,000

159
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:58,959

then a program

160
00:12:57,279 --> 00:13:06,560
SWPP
for 35,000 that makes up for 175,000.

161
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:12,320
This project is estimated to be about 6
to6,000. Uh we have project plans all

162
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:16,800
done, contract documents. We're ready to
go to bid.

163
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:24,760
The the bulk of the money will come from
the county if you choose to approve this

164
00:13:20,079 --> 00:13:24,760
to build that project. So

165
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:32,000
» question.
>> Okay. Madam Chair, um can just for for

166
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:36,880
the public, can you give a little bit
more information on why this project is

167
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:42,160
necessary specifically in regards to the
bridge and road?

168
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:48,720
» Yeah, it's uh several things happening
here. You know, about 2009, we moved

169
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:53,680
County Road over because the ro river
was encroaching on the road. So, we

170
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:58,720
moved the road over to get away from it,
but we didn't do anything to mitigate

171
00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:04,320
the erosion. Uh, and then it's trying to
bypass the Acme Bridge. It's trying to

172
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:08,639
go around it. And so we started looking
at this with the conservation district

173
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:13,920
about I don't know four or five years
ago. They said this qualifies for some

174
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:17,760
of their funding to to do this kind of
work. So we started looking the project

175
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:22,240
then.
Yeah, if we don't do something, it'll

176
00:14:19,839 --> 00:14:26,000
just continue to try to river will try
to migrate east and try to bypass that

177
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:31,120
bridge
>> and get into the road again about

178
00:14:28,539 --> 00:14:36,480
[clears throat] to move the road again.
>> Thank you,

179
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:40,160
» Madam Chair. No.
>> Move to approve and authorize the chair

180
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,440

district agreement with the Sharer

>> Second motion and a second. Any

183
00:14:51,199 --> 00:14:57,839
discussion?
I I have a question for you. Um would I

184
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:02,320
need to recuse myself since I sit on the
wildlife trust board that provided some

185
00:14:59,839 --> 00:15:07,519
funding for this project?
Okay. I think so, but I I double check.

186
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:14,360
All right. Um, all those in favor,
please signify by saying I.

187
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,360
» Those opposed? Motion carries.

188
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:27,040
Moving on to item 10, which is consider
resolution 2609063,

189
00:15:24,079 --> 00:15:31,360
notice intent to vacate a half width of
alley between block three and four in

190
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:36,079
the town of Ludor subdivision in
unincorporated story, Wyoming, located

191
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:41,120
in the south half of section 8, township
53 north, range 83 west. And I'll call

192
00:15:38,639 --> 00:15:49,040
on Ken Miller, county engineer.
Yeah, Madam Chair, hopefully the board

193
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:53,040
remembers not too long ago you denied a
petition to vacate

194
00:15:51,279 --> 00:15:59,519
half part of the alley and a full width
of the alley adjacent to these two lots,

195
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:06,480
the same two lots. Since the people have
petitioned to only vacate half of the

196
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:10,399
alley, the alley is 40 foot wide. They
want to vacate

197
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:15,600
20 foot of the 40 foot wide across those
lots. If you recall, there was a couple

198
00:16:13,199 --> 00:16:21,519
objections from land owners that felt
that there was a need to get through

199
00:16:17,759 --> 00:16:28,399
there publicly and and that's why you
decided to deny that previous one. So,

200
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:33,920
this is just notice again that run its
course with the advertisement to the

201
00:16:30,079 --> 00:16:39,279
public and it'll take if there's any
written objections again. have to deal

202
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:43,120
with at that time.
>> Any questions for not? I'd look for a

203
00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:44,560
motion.
>> Chair.

204
00:16:43,519 --> 00:16:49,440

211
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:22,480
» You don't need to. I But you're more
than welcome.

212
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:26,319
» Sorry. Pretty straightforward.
Yeah. Three of you. Three of you came

216
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:44,799
» It appears to me that uh when we first
saw this, it looks like the

217
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:49,760
» the petitioners have gone the extra mile
to try to alleviate some stress between

218
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:53,520
the neighborhood neighbors and
themselves and I think they've done a

219
00:17:51,679 --> 00:17:57,360
really good job. So I'm going to be in
favor of this motion.

220
00:17:55,679 --> 00:18:00,480
» Madam Chair, yes.
>> I'm also going to be in favor. I I want

to thank the land owners for allowing us
to come out and look at his property and

222
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:11,200
kind of explain it. I wasn't here for
the last vote. Um but for this one, I'm

223
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:17,120
in favor and um as I as I looked at that
uh alleyway, it it is it does not look

224
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:22,000
like it's ever been used. So, I'll be in
favor of this.

All right. Any other discussion? All

290
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:41,039
to see it's a conservation design
subdivision that leaves like our

291
00:24:38,559 --> 00:24:47,760
friend Mark Reed said leave 70% of the

292

297
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:10,960
» Just just
uh just to the county a little bit here.

298
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:17,279
Uh so we've had conservation design
subdivisions in effect since 2012. We've

299
00:25:13,679 --> 00:25:23,360
had nine different proposals
uh that have conserved over a thousand

300
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:32,640
actually 149 acres conserved in that
time and well just establishing 72 home

301
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:38,240
sites. So that to me is it's a a mark of
something that's been popular and and

302
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:43,120
accomplishing several goals as our
comprehensive plan over the years. So

303
00:25:41,360 --> 00:25:49,200
there's not a lot of counties going out
considering thousand acres while still

304
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:54,000
allowing to improve. So
>> just kudos to you guys.

305
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:59,440
» Well, and kudos to to your office and
we've talked about this before, but you

306
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:04,880

postcoid when when everybody was moving

307
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:08,880
to town at 231 permits and it and it
dropped every year after that until this

308
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:15,360
year and we're at 238 all. So you guys
have been busy. Thanks for your work.

309
00:26:12,559 --> 00:26:20,320
All right. Item 13 is to consider item
CU 260002,

310

international building code as adopted

future structure modifications or
additions will require Sheridan County

336
00:28:51,200 --> 00:29:00,080
building permits. Future structure
modifications may also require a new CP

337
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:02,720
straightforward madam chair. Any
questions try have to try to answer

338
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:08,640
them.
>> Okay. Any questions from Mark? I'm going

00:29:06,399 --> 00:29:11,960
to go ahead and open the public hearing
at 9:29.

Going to close the public hearing at

00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:33,815
Um I would look for a motion. Madam
chair,

344
00:29:31,795 --> 00:29:33,815
[clears throat]

345
00:29:34,399 --> 00:29:42,080
» I move to approve item CU-26-02
Morgan machine shop CU with

346
00:29:40,965 --> 00:29:44,320
[clears throat] the poor conditions as

347
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:48,170
commission.
>> Second.

348
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:51,039
» Oh, we've given it to Commissioner.
[laughter]

349
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,480
» All right, we have a motion in a second.
Any discussion?

350
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,120
» Madam Chair,
>> Commissioner Jennings,

351
00:29:53,760 --> 00:30:00,240
» I'm so [clears throat] in favor of this.
I'm really excited to see some machine

352
00:29:57,279 --> 00:30:04,799
shop uh going on because it's certainly
something that I think is county in

353
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:08,640
favor of this.
>> Any other comments? Hearing none. All

354
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:14,159
those in favor, please signify by saying
I.

355
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:19,520
» I. Those opposed? Motion carries.
>> Our last item is to consider R26002

356
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:23,000
BB properties reszone and I'll call on
Margarit again.

357
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:30,760
» Not least.
Thanks for hanging in.

358
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,760
» Thank you.

359
00:30:35,039 --> 00:30:46,720
» EB Properties LLC by manager has applied
to resolve 36.74 acres. Uh address is

360
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:52,399
441
Avenue state highway 332. Uh it's

361
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:58,640
currently zone A agricultural after
proposes to resone UR urban residential.

362
00:30:56,559 --> 00:31:03,600
The sub parallel is contiguous in the
city of Sheridan on the north. Urban

363
00:31:00,399 --> 00:31:09,840
residential zoning on the east and south
and the airport to the west. A single

364
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:14,799
family dwelling and associated buildings
exist on this property. Beyond these

365
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:19,679
structures, the unplanned part is
undeveloped but with the intent of

366
00:31:16,799 --> 00:31:25,520
subdividing in the future. You have a
concept plan as part of your application

367
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:32,159
packet as
building a potential 11 lot conservation

368
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:38,559
design subdivision. Uh this far was in
the past as urban residential uh when

369
00:31:35,279 --> 00:31:46,919
the county first adopted zoning back in
1985 and had been resone to cultural in

370
00:31:43,919 --> 00:31:46,919
1991.

371
00:31:50,399 --> 00:31:58,880
So I think it's important to note that
the uh future land use map of our plan

372
00:31:57,039 --> 00:32:06,519
indicates
a future res urban residential

373
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,519
designation for this property.

374
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:16,880
So in that vein it would be consistent
with at least that portion of the

375
00:32:12,799 --> 00:32:23,279
comprehensive plan. Um
you'll note [clears throat]

376
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:30,799
proposed new zoning uh includes a a wide
variety of residential uses um beyond

377
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:36,559
what the agricultural zoning does at a
density that's certainly much higher

378
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:41,919
than the a zone. Uh so planning
commission uh planning and zoning

379
00:32:39,039 --> 00:32:48,320
commission um had a public hearing on
this and considered this application and

380
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:53,600
recommended on a vote 4 to zero to
approve uh this item. So

381
00:32:51,919 --> 00:32:57,679
that's all I have at this point. Madam
Chair, this should should this be

382
00:32:55,600 --> 00:33:01,600
reszoned, it is their intent, as I
noted, to come back with a subdivision

383
00:32:59,919 --> 00:33:06,640
application
um

384
00:33:03,279 --> 00:33:12,880
as shown in their application packet and
the details of that subdivision would be

385
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:20,720
hashed out at that time including water
rights, water, domestic water, sewage,

386
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:26,960
access to state highway, etc. So things
are detailed so we come at a later time.

387
00:33:23,519 --> 00:33:31,519
» Okay. Thank you. Um this requires a
public hearing and I'm going to open it

388
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:34,880
up at 9:33.
Vice chairs are here. Thanks for being

389
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:37,880
here this morning. Um do we have any
comments?

390
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:46,880
No. Okay. [laughter]
Quiet crowd today. Right. I'm going to

391
00:33:44,399 --> 00:33:53,919
go ahead and
call at 9:34.

392
00:33:49,919 --> 00:33:56,559
Um, and I would look for a motion.
>> Madam Chair,

393
00:33:55,600 --> 00:34:00,919

00:34:07,919 --> 00:34:15,040
motion and a second. Any discussion?
Commissioner Jennings. Yeah.

396
00:34:11,919 --> 00:34:19,040
» Um, first of all, I wanted to thank uh
two of our planning and zone

397
00:34:16,240 --> 00:34:25,919
commissioners for being here. Uh,
It's very tabbu in in here. But um you

398
00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:30,960
know I'll be in favor of this right now.
But there are some questions that I have

399
00:34:28,079 --> 00:34:37,359
that like uh Margaret said hopefully
will be answered. One of which is the

400
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:41,280
access to the highway because uh that is
fairly fairly important area. There's a

401
00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:46,159
lot of people that are really concerned
about it. So looking forward to see what

402
00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:50,800
y'all come up with.
>> Right. Any other comments, questions?

403
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:56,159
Hearing none. All those in favor, please
signify by saying I. I. I.

404
00:34:53,119 --> 00:35:02,839
» Those opposed. Motion carries.
And with that, we are adjourned at 9:35.

00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,839
Thanks, folks.

406
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,720
Mayor Clerk, how you doing?
