General Items
New Business
1. Fox Farm Subdivision should be Fox Field Subdivision
Forrest introduced the application for Fox Field Subdivision located at 4910 Lori Rae
Lane, Park City MT.
The board questioned whether each lot would have its own well and septic system.
Forrest referred the question to James (JW) Papez with Papez Development Service, the
engineer on the project. He prepared all the sanitation documents submitted to DEQ to
lift the sanitary restrictions off the subdivision. The existing residents will retain the
existing individual well and individual drain field and the 2 newly created residential lots
will have a shared well and shared drain field system. DEQ has issued the approval
which is an important part of that. DEQ will be recorded once the platt is recorded.
James also made board aware that correct title for this project is Fox Field Subdivision.
The board also questioned if there would be 2 accesses into the subdivision. James Papez
indicated that prior to the development of subdivision there was an access easement
already in place so that would remain unchanged for the access of that property. The cul-
de-sac that we would put that would allow for access to the existing residents to the
property over the bridge, you can have up to 2 access per drive approach so that would
considered 1 drive approach for existing residents of the property over the bridge and the
2 new created lots will have shared access and the remainder 22 acres lot will have their
own access of the cul-de-sac as well. The bridge is considered private property and
would remain outside the bound of what is being plated on this subdivision. The public
section would end at the cul-de-sac.
The board had no further questions.
The recommendation to the board of commission is for approval of the Fox Field
Subdivision subject to the proposed conditions in the staff report. Motion is made for
approval by Jon Klasna and seconded by Richard Klose. Motion passes 5/0.
Forrest confirmed there is no other new business.
