Commissioners – RE: Public Hearing: Randy Loberg Appeal
Chairwoman Overfield opened the public hearing.
Mr. Loberg is appealing the April 5, 2023, decision letter from Planning Director, Joy Hill that states his property may not be used for a short-term rental as it is not zoned for that activity. Mr. Loberg was told in a letter dated June 2022 that his residence could be for rental purposes which is creating his confusion.
Ms. Hill and Mr. Dillivan presented the definitions of housing, lodging and rental and reviewed the record including complaints received in August 2021 that Mr. Loberg was living in and RV and then in a shed on the property and he was told he could do so. Then in early 2022 when staff did a deep dive into what was allowed on the property within a Planned Unit Development (PUD) which was created in 1995. A PUD allows one single family resident to live there and does not allow renting. Ms. Hill gave further clarification on short term and long-term rental which is 6 month or more.
Chairwoman Overfield called for public comments. Mike Roberts, Janet Kempner, Jalie Meinecke, Meinecke & Sitz, representing Stephen Berry, Paul Gill, Margie Pauley, Kacie Schwarz, and Donny Anderson gave comments.
There being no further public comments, Commissioner Thiel moved to close the public hearing, Commissioner Mangold seconded, motion carried.
Commissioner Thiel moved to grant approval of the appeal for violation, Commissioner Mangold seconded, Commissioner Steward asked Mr. Loberg his intent when he bought the property, Mr. Loberg stated he purchased the property with no intent to rent the property. The motion died with Commissioner Steward and Livingston opposed; Chairwoman Overfield also voted against the motion. Appeal is denied. RESOLUTION 2023-25
Kim Dillivan, Planning & Zoning – RE: Public Hearing: Amended Plat of Wagler SS-188
Chairwoman Overfield opened the public hearing.
Mr. Dillivan presented the amended plat application for approval which would vacate a portion of original lots 1 and 2 and merge with the unplatted parcel to the north. The result will be a 5.37-acre amended lot to Lot 101 and a 5.14-acre amended lot to Lot 102 for residential use. The adjacent unplatted parcel is owned by Kelly and Teresa Merager. The properties are in GR-5 zoning approximately 2.5 miles southwest of Cody. Notices and agency referrals have been met. Mr. Dillivan read the condition into the record.
Commissioner Livingston questioned concerns of Merager’s signing the plat. Mr. Wagler felt it would be worked out in time on signing, Commissioner Livingston stated if that did not happen Mr. Wagler would need to start the process over.
At this time Commissioner Livingston made a motion to continue the public hearing to June 20 at 1:15 p.m. Commissioner Steward seconded, motion carried.

Mr. Dillivan presented the final plat for Donald Gillett for a two-lot minor subdivision consisting of one 12.86-acre lot and one 22-acre lot for residential use. The property is located 1.5 miles south of Powell in GR-P zoning. Agency referrals have been met and no public comments received. Staff recommend the approval of the Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA) and the final plat with the five conditions read into the record.

Commissioner Livingston moved to approve and combine all documents and move forward, Commissioner Thiel seconded, motion carried.
Commissioners – RE: Continued Public Hearing: Appeals of River Ridge Subdivision MS-74
Chairwoman Overfield opened the continuation of the public hearing. Mr. Edwards began with his qualifications as county engineer. Neither Corbett Road or River Ridge meet county standards and Mr. Edwards gave his reasons for granting administrative relief. Traffic counts were conducted and none of the data meets the threshold of 100 vehicles per day or the 10 vehicles per day per lot. Mr. Edwards still holds up his recommendation for administrative relief.
Steve Youngbauer, Bernie Spanogle, and Larry Roop made comments. Martin Dougherty presented a slide show supporting his rebuttal and Ted Harvey gave responses to that rebuttal. After many questions and discussions Commissioner Livingston made a motion to close the public hearing, Commissioner Mangold seconded, motion carried.
Further discussion on normal circumstances of a road would be 60 ft easement with 24 ft driving surface but is not required here due to the 100-car threshold which is the criteria of changing the use of the road, if administrative relief is denied the landowners would need to have the 60 ft easement. Since there is a request to redo the traffic counts on Corbett Road, River Ridge and the “back door road” Commissioner Steward made a motion to re-open the public hearing and continue to July 5, 2023, at 9:35 a.m. so the additional information can be heard, Commissioner Livingston seconded, motion carried.
Commissioners – RE: ARPA Funds Discussion on Sewer Lagoons
Chairwoman Overfield stated the SLIB Board is committing two million dollars to the City of Cody to upgrade the lagoons along with a two-million-dollar match from the County. The State funds will be used first in the project. Commissioner Thiel made a motion to commit two million out of the ARPA General funds for the match, Commissioner Steward seconded, motion carried.
Brian Edwards, Project Manager, Public Works Department – RE: Park County Land Auction Sealed Bids
Mr. Edwards stated that the first process resulted in no bids. The minimum amount was removed and resent to adjacent landowners. One bid was received from John Andrew LLC which is the adjacent landowner. The bid is for $11,000 for .33-acres. Commissioner Livingston moved to accept the bid Commissioner Mangold seconded, motion carried. Mr. Edwards will draft the deed paperwork.
Adjourn.
Commissioner Livingston moved to adjourn, Commissioner Thiel seconded, and the motion carried.
