PUBLIC HEARING regarding a subdivision permit and plat for The Life subdivision, located at a portion of the S1/2 NW1/4 of Sect 24, T15N, R67W, Laramie County, WY. (Postponed from Nov 4 and Dec 16, 2025 meetings)

Summary

This item concerns a public hearing for a subdivision permit and plat for 'The Life' subdivision, located at a portion of Section 24, T15N, R67W, Laramie County, WY. The applicant, Steil Surveying Services, LLC, on behalf of landowners Patrick and Robert Blythe, proposes to subdivide 57.53 acres into four residential lots, each averaging 11.51 acres. This is consistent with the LU – Land Use zone district and the Rural Ag Interface (RAI) designation in the Laramie County Comprehensive Plan, which anticipates rural residential uses. Waivers for traffic and drainage studies were requested and concurred with by the County Engineer, with a Transportation Worksheet submitted. The property is within AMEC Zone 2, requiring a minimum of 5.25 acres per lot to ensure groundwater recharge, a standard met by the proposal. Public notice was provided, and no comments were received. The staff recommends approval with the condition that all agency comments are addressed prior to recordation.

Citizen Impact

This approval will allow for the creation of four new residential lots, each over 11 acres, in a rural area of Laramie County. Residents in the vicinity may see new neighbors and potential changes in local traffic patterns, though the large lot sizes suggest minimal density increase.
