11:46:38 AM Commissioner Skinner Comments, finding that this change of conditions complies with the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act, finding that it complies with the Gallatin County Subdivision Regulations and finding that it meets the criteria for a change of conditions, finding that a change it was necessary because the applicant was unable to relocate Beck Border Ditch and finding that there was a time extension granted and this makes it impossible to meet the conditions as it reads because of the administrative problems with the time extension.
