Jock West, Attorney at Law
2822 3rd Avenue North
Billings, MT 59101
Dear Mr. West:
In reference to possible subdivision development of 5.16 acres on 72nd
Street West (Tract 2-A of Amended Tract 2, C.S. 1646 in EJ-zNE,NE4 of
Section 36, T.1S.,R.24E. Yellowstone County), there are several factors
to consider:
1. The site is currently prime, productive agricultural land, and
there doesn't appear to be any pressing need to change this status. The
Laurel Planning Board has, in the past,-gone on record opposing such
development in prime agricultural areas because of a lack of need for such
non-agricultural developments. Under State and County law, the "basis of
need" is a required criteria for reviewing subdivision development--both
of residential or commercial nature.
2. Changing the land use of the site from its present agricultural
status would create land use conflicts between new uses--either commercial
or residential--and those existing agricultural uses which include intensive
farming and a large, confined livestock feeding operation one-mile to the
south.
3. The groundwater in this area has been, historically, of question-
able quality. Furthermore, on-site wells--as well as septic tank drain-
fields--will be affected by the surrounding and adjacent irrigation
practices.
4. The area of this tract is included in the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan adopted for this part of the County by Laurel and the County
Commissioners; it is planned as an agricultural land use, and any change
in that land use would be in violation of the adopted Comprehensive Plan.
E
As any proposal for development of this site has not been before the Laurel
City-County Planning Board, as of yet, the comments made herein are strictly
my own; the landowner certainly has the right to make application for
development review to the Planning Board and ultimate approval/denial by
the County Commissioners.
If you have any questions, please call me.
Sincerely,
Cal Cumin, AICP

T0: Yellowstone County Board of Commissioners
FROM: George S. Freeman, Director of Planning
SUBJECT: Planning Board Jurisdictions
At their regular meeting of December 4, 1984 the Planning Board reviewed
the results of a meeting between the Board's Comprehensive Plan Committee
and the Laurel-Yellowstone City-County Planning Board. The two major
issues were 1.) that the Laurel Jurisdictional area should include areas
which logically should be in their area and 2.) to have a boundary which
would be easily recognizable and would allow property owners to easily
determine in which jurisdiction their property was located.
It is the recommendation of this Board that the Laurel jurisdiciton be
extended to the west to the County line, to the north to King Avenue
and to the east to 64th Street West. The rest of the area would remain
as it is now.
Please contact me if you have questions.
