PLAT REVIEW DISCUSSION / STAKE HOLDERS
Staff gave a brief presentation to the Board regarding the proposed subdivision. Board President Darell Tunnicliff asked if there were any questions for staff from the board. There were two questions about the bathroom facilities and private roads. Staff stated that the applicant or agent could best address the number of bathrooms proposed and where. Staff showed on the propsed plat which roads were public and which were private. A final question was raised regarding what controls will be in place for the uses and outdoor storage. Staff responded that the applicant is going to have Covenants Codes and Restrictions on the subdivision to control types of construction and what can be stored inside and outside. There will also be an HOA to take care of the private roads within the subdivision.
Board President Darell Tunnicliff asked if the applicant or their agent would like to address the board. Mr. Kolten Knatterud from Territorial Landworks stood to answer questions. He stated that there would be 3 to 4 bathroom buildings throughout the subdivision. They would have normal flushing toilets with water supplied by a cistern. It was also pointed out they would be heated buildings with running hot and cold water inside. They would be getting DEQ approval for each proposed location for the bathroom buildings. There were no other questions from the Planning Board.
