Action Item - Wynn John Subdivision Presentation, Discuss And Vote Wynn John presented his subdivision plat for review. The Commission identified several corrections needed: property boundaries incorrectly showed lines extending to the center of the road rather than the fence line/easement boundary, owner dedication section contained incorrect names (Todd and Cindy Gibbs instead of Wynn John Family Trust), and the surveyor's certificate required completion. Mayor Max advised that the waterline extension would need to be 8-inch and a fire hydrant may be required within 500 feet. The applicant agreed to coordinate with the health department for percolation testing and make all necessary corrections. Commissioner Laura Nelson moved to approve the subdivision contingent upon corrections to property boundaries, owner dedication information, and surveyor certification. Commissioner Jennifer Smith seconded. Motion Passed unanimously. Action Item Assigned: Applicant to submit corrected plat to county for review before returning for final signatures. Cul-De-Sac Regulation & Road Planning Considerations Commissioner Laura Nelson led discussion on establishing road grid standards and cul-de-sac regulations. Key considerations included: implementing boundary alignment standards, determining appropriate grid structure for future development, establishing cul-de-sac diameter requirements (80-100 feet standard), and addressing challenges with remnant parcels created by grid implementation. The Commission discussed that cul-de-sacs increase overall traffic on main roads and utility costs while serving fewer residents. Trail connections were suggested to reduce isolation of cul-de-sac residents. Action Items Assigned: Contact BRAG for guidance on grid planning procedures, develop general plan amendments for transportation grid, and continue research on cul-de-sac regulations. Standing Agenda Items: Discuss And Vote On Codes/Ordinances - Table Of Contents, Terms, Index, And Section 101-119. Removal Of Outdated Or Inapplicable Ordinances No discussion occurred on this agenda item. Adjournment Commissioner Jennifer Smith moved to adjourn the meeting. Commissioner Laura Nelson seconded.
