11:15:53 AM Motion passed unanimously
11:16:26 AM Commissioner Skinner Finding that the Spain Bridge Meadows Subdivision meets the Gallatin County Subdivision Regulations, and it complies with the Belgrade Area Plan, the 1999 Future Land Use Plan, and that the primary criteria have been mitigated, I would move to approve the subdivision with the suggested conditions from staff, correcting an error on 5F which there seems to be there is two F's there, I think that needs to be corrected. I would also add the condition addressing avigation language, as presented by the developer, adding the four conditions suggested by Alan English adding the condition of Open Space Management to say, "The Agricultural Open Space Management Plan shall be received by the County Commissioners (corrected to reviewed by) . The plan shall find the homeowners association and individual lot owners to
abide by the approved plan." Adding a condition about trails, "Trails shall be constructed and maintained consistent with the trail plan submitted in the application. The trail plan shall be binding upon the association and the individual lot owners." To amend the condition #27, which the developer has suggested language, and yes and the condition, to add a condition, oh I think this sewer and water is in Alan's condition. And to say that the preliminary plat has been changed concerning those two lots, 80, 60 and 61 which will be moved according to the overhead and not the plan submitted.
