34 Agent for the applicant, John Steil, Steil Surveying
Services, presented the Preliminary Plat of a replat of a
portion of Happy Valley, Second Filing, being Tracts 93-
100, Tracts 205, 304, Tracts 342-389, Tracts A, B, C and
all roads and easements encompassed therein, Laramie
County, Wyoming (located south of Happy Jack Road,
between and west of Boundary and Range Line Roads).
Mr. Steil stated the development would consist of 146 lots
under the open space concept with the average lot size
being 7.9 acres. The purpose of the replat is to take
advantage of the terrain and to minimize the number of
times the roads cross the flood plain as well as to reduce
the number of lots which are included in the existing. Fire
Protection will be provided by Districts 2, 8, and 10 and
the developer has agreed to place two 30 gallon cisterns
within the development. Protective covenants and a road
maintenance plan have been submitted. Six miles of the
interior roads are proposed to be paved with the
remainder being gravel. Chairman Ketcham asked if the
paving would include improvement and pavement of
Boundary and Range Line Roads and Mr. Steil confirmed
that those roads would be paved. Tim Post, Terracon,
provided testimony on the report submitted to DEQ and
the concerns with the topography of the area and the
status of the High Plains aquifer. Two test wells were
drilled into the Lance Formation; one at a depth of 770
feet and the other at a depth of 668 feet. At just over 500
feet in depth, both wells went through a 24 hour pump test
which showed the area is permeable and capable of
producing. The tests showed there is plenty of recharge in
the area. Commissioner Knudson asked if Mr. Post could
comment on the recharge rate based on the draw down of
the 8000 wells in the County. Mr. Post stated that even
without a good year or a good 10 years, the water that is
being consumed in the County at this time is more than
100 years old, but he can't answer definitively that there
would be no effect on wells. Commissioner Humphrey
spoke to recommendations from the Water Development
Commission that no additional wells be drilled in the
County until Pine Bluffs had water recovery. Chairman
Ketcham asked what DEQ recommended for well depth.
Mr. Post replied their recommendation was to drill at least
80 feet down into the Lance Formation and then sealing
off. Chairman Ketcham asked about the distance between
the Lance, White River, and High Plains formations. Mr.
Post stated the DEQ would require sealing
recommendations to eliminate cross-communication
between the aquifers. Jim Kohoren, Laramie County
Conservation District, indicated that most of his questions
had been answered by Mr. Post, but did want to know what
interference on existing wells in the area would be
created by additional wells and commented on the use of
the results of the water study. Mr. Post stated that the two
test wells indicated that the effect on the observation well
was that it was drawn down by 14 feet during the time the
other well was pumping and the distance between the two
wells was 400 feet. The conclusion was that the draw
down areas of the neighboring wells would not be affected
in any appreciable way. John Steil indicated the DEQ
asked that two comments be placed on the plat map and
used a map to demonstrate the location of proposed wells
and drain fields. Mr. Steil introduced Kate Morrow who is
representing the applicant. Ms. Morrow provided
handouts that were prepared in response to questions
about public access from both Boundary and Range Line
Roads. The handouts included copies of deeds to
surrounding properties which listed the public access status
of the roads. Don Beard, Laramie County Public Works,
testified that rights of way of less than 80 foot in width
cause concerns and he would request that a signed,
stamped engineer's study be included that states a 60 foot
right of way would be sufficient for the traffic the roads
would carry without problems created by the terrain.
County Attorney Mark Voss spoke to the issue of whether or
not the access points on Range Line and Boundary Roads
were sufficient to provide access to the proposed replat.
There is no doubt that the roads are to provide public
access; however, that does not address the issues of future
maintenance, width or terrain. Commissioner Knudson
asked Don Beard to speak to future development of the
area. Mr. Beard stated that the standard width of a right of
way is 80 foot and he fears a 60 foot right of way may not
support traffic from future development. Commissioner
Humphrey asked if a traffic study was required and Mr.
Steil stated the traffic study had been done and that the
developer would be attempting to acquire additional land
to create 80 foot rights of way. Mr. Steil further stated
there are reasons why the land to the west may not be
developed in the immediate future; he then introduced
Rick Anderson, Wild West Development Company, who
spoke to the draft covenants and maintenance plan. The
Planning Commission did express pleasure with the
covenants which prohibit lot splits inside the development.
The road maintenance plan is a 20 year plan which
would have the gravel roads graded six times per year with
gravel being replaced at ten year intervals to be funded
by homeowner's association dues. The asphalt surfaces
would be chip sealed at 10 year intervals and over lay
would be done at 20 year intervals, with the homeowner's
association dues paying for the maintenance. The offsite
asphalt roads would be maintained in the same manner,
also paid from homeowner's association dues. Don Beard
stated the original road construction and maintenance
plan submitted did not have any hard surface roads
included. Mr. Anderson stated the pavement was
determined by the traffic study. Mr. Steil also stated that
this property is currently a platted subdivision and this is a
replat. County Attorney Mark Voss spoke to the issue of
whether or not the existing plat had ever been vacated,
stating the 1977 plat was not legally vacated. Lisa
Pafford, City Development Office, gave the staff report
and recommended the preliminary plat moved forward
with the following conditions: 1) Resolve comments from
County Planning Office prior to submittal of the final plat
application; 2) Resolve comments from the County
Attorney Office prior to submittal of the final plat
application; 3) Submit homeowner's agreement and road
maintenance plan with engineer's estimates with submittal
of Final Plat; 4) Two (2) thirty thousand gallon fire
protection water cisterns are to be placed in the
development pursuant to the Laramie County Fire
Districts Fire Protection recommendations; 5) Grant
easements requested by Cheyenne Light Fuel and Power;
and 6) Address County Assessor comments prior to
submittal of Final Plat. The Planning Commission voted
5 to 3 to deny the Preliminary Plat on February 4, 2008.
Chairman Ketcham opened the meeting as a PUBLIC
HEARING. Paula Qualls indicated that while she voted
against the denial of the Preliminary Plat, she did not
support the Plat. County Planner Gary Kranse stated he
had met with Mr. Steil and had resolved several issues
and hopes that any remaining issues would be resolved by
the time of submittal of the Final Plat. As it stands now,
the current subdivision could be built out and there would
be no prohibitions on issuing building permits nor would
wells have to meet DEQ requirements. While the plat is
not perfect, it is a better plan than the existing plat. Gary
Hickman, City/County Health Department, Environmental
Health, also stated that with the area being already
platted, they would also be required to issue permits for
the existing plat as long as the wells and drain fields met
requirements. Chairman Ketcham asked if this density
would affect the aquifer. Mr. Hickman stated that the only
way to not affect the aquifer is to never build a house.
DEQ does the macro look and Environmental Health does
the micro look, but he can't answer how many years it
would take to adversely affect the aquifer. Sheriff Danny
Glick testified that this subdivision is quite a distance from
town and while there are now two deputies serving the
western part of the County, it would still require additional
deputies to travel 18 to 20 miles to respond in an
emergency as there is not 24/7 coverage in that area,
even with two deputies. Sheriff Glick stated it is not his
position to either support or oppose this plat and
continuing development places financial strain on all
county services. His department would require six to ten
additional deputies to serve a subdivision such as this by
the time it was fully built out. Kate Morrow stressed again
that all the substantive regulations that exist have been
met and the reports indicate that even water is not an
issue. Debra Roden, Woodhouse Law Offices,
representing several of the surrounding landowners
requested that the recommendation of denial made by
the Planning Commission be upheld by the Board of
Commissioners. Ms. Roden stated the opposition to the
preliminary plat is based on the following issues: 1)
Safety; 2) Density; 3) Incompatibility with the surrounding
land use; and 4) water. Ms. Roden stated the buildable
lots in the existing plat for Happy Valley 2nd Filing were
far fewer than the proposed replat and the roads proposed
to service the replat had never been dedicated to the
public. Those speaking against the replat included: Dr.
Peter Perokas; Joe Georgio; Rich Lewis; Jim Baccus;
John Crisp; Dr. Taylor Haynes; Foy Jolley; and Tim Hupp.
When questioned by Chairman Ketcham about whether
the existing plat or the replat was preferable, area
residents responded that neither plat was acceptable.
Chairman Ketcham asked if the density in the preliminary
plat meet the Laramie County Comprehensive Land Use
Plan to which County Planner Gary Kranse stated that it
did. Frank Falen, Falen Law Offices, spoke in favor of the
replat, stating that doing nothing is not an option. If the
replat is rejected, the landowners are going to have to
decide whether to litigate the decision of the Board of
Commissioners or litigate against the adjacent
landowners. Commissioner Humphrey referred to the
water study being conducted and that the first phase
should be completed by June or July and that study will
serve as a guide to future development. She inquired as
to whether or not the developer would consider
postponing this until the results of the study were in so
those could be used to determine the exact status of the
water availability in the area. Mr. Falen stated he would
need to consult with the developer and learn whether or
not they could afford to wait that long. Hearing no further
public comment, the Chairman closed the PUBLIC
HEARING. Chairman Ketcham summarized some of the
comment provided today: Sheriff Glick can service the
development; the Fire Districts can service the area with
two 30 gallon cisterns; density - this subdivision meets the
density recommendations of the comprehensive land use
plan; roads have been addressed by the requirement of a
stamped and signed engineer's report that the 60 foot
right of way would service the area; the issue of water has
been discussed and there may need to be more review of
the Terracon study and DEQ should step up with better,
more comprehensive information on the water situation.
He would like to postpone for two weeks to have time to
review the Terracon study and have DEQ and the State
Engineer's Office present. Commissioner Humphrey
suggested going forward with the preliminary plat and
waiting for consideration of the final plat until the county
water study is complete. Commissioner Knudson spoke to
the ability to provide emergency services to these
developments that become small towns and moved to
postpone consideration until the first meeting in April and
that DEQ and the State Engineer's Office be invited to
provide information. Commissioner Humphrey seconded
the motion, which passed unanimously.
35 Larry Perry, Terrestrial Surveying and Mapping, agent for
the applicant, presented a Preliminary Plat of Signs and
Designs, situate in the NW1/2NW1/4of Section 29, T.14N.,
R.61W., 6th P.M., Laramie County, Wyoming (located
south of and adjacent to I-80, east of County Road 155).
The parcel is north of Egbert and consists of ten acres.
Lisa Pafford, City Development Office, provided the staff
report and recommended approval of the preliminary plat
with the following conditions: 1) Any modular building
will need to meet the requirements in Section 62.000 of
the Zoning Ordinance which establishes the standards for
Manufactured, Modular and Mobile Homes; 2) Provide a
20 foot wide utility easement along the north edge of the
property line or written resolution as required by High West
Energy; 3) A site plan will have to be submitted when
making application for building permits. County Planner
Gary Kranse supported the preliminary plat. Gary
Hickman, City/County Health Department, Environmental
Health, stated there is a commercial septic system already
installed which has been inspected. Chairman Ketcham
opened the meeting as a PUBLIC HEARING. Hearing no
public comment, the Chairman closed the PUBLIC
HEARING. Commissioner Knudson moved to approve the
Preliminary Plat of Signs and Designs. Commissioner
Humphrey seconded the motion, which passed
unanimously.
36 Dave Klein, agent for the applicant, presented a request
for Board Approval to allow "Storage Park Use" in District
CB Community Business on the W1/2 of Tract 7, Wallick
and Murray Gardens, Laramie County, Wyoming (located
at 703 E. College Drive). Mr. Klein stated he is the
prospective purchaser of the property and there are still a
lot of steps to take, but the first is to get use approval. Lisa
Pafford, City Development Office, presented the staff
report and recommended approval provided the criteria
required in Section 74.020(a-d) are found. County
Planner Gary Kranse stated the proposed use is a
compatible use for the area and he supports the Board
approval. Chairman Ketcham opened the meeting as a
PUBLIC HEARING. Hearing no public comment, the
Chairman closed the PUBLIC HEARING. Commissioner
Knudson moved to approve the "Storage Park Use."
Commissioner Humphrey seconded the motion which
passed unanimously.
