1:35:56 PM Commissioner Skinner Finding the Greathorn Ranch First Minor Subdivision complies with the zoning regulations, Big Sky Zoning Regulations, complies with Section 76-3-608 of the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act and it complies with the Gallatin County Subdivision Regulations, that it meets the general criteria, there's no agriculture in the area, no agricultural water user facilities, the effect on local services has been mitigated, there's no effect on natural environment, it has been mitigated by providing 52% privately owned open space and that there is some wildlife and wildlife habitat impact but that's also been mitigated by the open space and the covenants affecting wildlife, and that public health and safety has been mitigated through fire and emergency services conditions. I would move to approve Greathorn Ranch First
Minor Subdivision with staff conditions except for #14(f) ending that covenant condition to say, "No parcel or lot shall be further subdivided," adding condition #38 which would say, "The final plat shall contain a statement restricting any further subdivision of any lot," adding condition #39, which would say, "Appropriate signage shall be installed with approval of County Road and Bridge at the intersection of Streamside and Sunrise View," condition #25 the language suggested by George Durkin about the two year warranty and #14(l), to read, "Place title to private open space with each individual lot owner."
