The Sublette County Planning & Zoning Commission will meet on Thursday, February 15, 2007, at 7:00 p.m. in the Sublette County Courthouse, Pinedale, Wyoming. At this time, a public hearing will be held to consider the following applications:
AGENDA
1. Request for Minor Subdivision approval, pursuant to Chapter VI of the Sublette County Subdivision Resolution, entitled Minor Subdivision, by Al and Carolyn Carollo. The application proposes the creation of a 2.42 acre lot and a 2.50 acre lot on Tract 49 of the Cooley Sixth Subdivision. Tract 49 is zoned Rural Residential (one dwelling unit per two acres net). The parcel subject to the proposed Minor Subdivision is located in Section 3, Township 33N, Range 109W (Tract 51 Cooley Sixth Subdivision); generally described as 17 Pinedale South County Road 23-123 (Tyler Avenue) and being on the east side of Pinedale South County Road 23-123 (Tyler Avenue) immediately adjacent to the Pinedale town limits.
2. Pursuant to Article VIII, Section 1 of the Sublette County Zoning and Development Regulations, entitled Administration; planning staff proposes the following amendment to the text of the Sublette County Zoning and Development Regulations:
Chapter II Zoning Districts
Section 1. Zoning Districts.
Staff recommends the addition of the suffix FE to the zoning district in which a Family Exemption Division has occurred. The FE suffix will allow the lot created to be identified as a Family Exemption parcel; without changing the zoning district in which the parcel is located. Development standards applicable to the zoning district in which the Family Division lot is located remain unchanged, with the exception of Chapter III, section 18, as explained below.
Section 2. Authorized Uses.
Paragraph a., entitled “In any zoning district:”
Staff proposes the addition of subparagraph (4) to read, “Family Divisions; Family Divisions creating lots not less than 5 acres in size, shall be permitted.”
Chapter III Development Standards.
Staff proposes amending the language in Section 18. entitled “Minimum Site Area” to include lots created by Family Division shall not be less than 5 acres in size.
Chapter V Family Division of the County Subdivision Resolution
Section 3. Recordation
Change the language, which currently requires that following approval by the Board of County Commissioners the Record of Survey shall be recorded within 30 days. Staff recommends replacing Board of County Commissioners with Planning Department and Record of Survey to Map of Survey. Additionally, staff will recommend language be added to this Section requiring an Application of Family Division (application form to be available at the Planning Department) be submitted for review and approval by the Planning Department prior to the Map of Survey being recorded.
3. Pursuant to Article VIII, Section 1 of the Sublette County Zoning and Development Regulations, entitled Administration; planning staff proposes an amendment to the text of the Sublette County Zoning and Development Regulations reducing the setback requirements in Chapter III, Section 4, entitled “Setback Requirements” of the Sublette County Zoning and Development Regulations. Present setback requirements in the Rural Residential, Rural Residential 5, Rural Residential Mobile Home and Rural Residential Mobile Home 5 zoning districts are a 30 foot front setback - 10 foot side setback - 40 foot rear setback. Staff is prosing amending the current setback requirements for these zoning districts to a 25 foot front and rear setback and 10 foot side setback. In addition staff is prosing deleting the portion(s) of Chapter III, Section 4 allowing accessory structures to be setback 10 feet from a rear property line and providing for greater setbacks from the right of ways for State or federal Highways and County Roads.
4. Pursuant to Article VIII, Section 1 of the Sublette County Zoning and Development Regulations, entitled Administration; planning staff proposes an amendment to the text of the Sublette County Zoning and Development Regulations to change the definition of Guest House or Cabin, as provided in Chapter I, Section 6, entitled “Definitions” of the Sublette County Zoning and Development Regulations. The current definition provides a guest house or cabin as “An accessory, detached building, not exceeding 800 square feet in size which is designed, intended and used for the housing of nonpaying visitors or guests of the owners or occupants of the main dwelling on the site.” Staff proposes an amendment defining a guest house or cabin as “An accessory, detached building, not exceeding 1,100 square feet in size, inclusive of a basement or crawl space over 5 feet in height, which is designed, intended and used for the housing of nonpaying visitors, guests or family members of the owners or occupants of the main dwelling on the site.”
