Okay.

0:07

We will call the planning and zoning city of Sheridan Planning and Zoning or Planning Commission meeting for June 8th or any additions or deletions to the agenda.

0:20

Oh, we got to call roll.

0:22

Yeah.

0:22

You want to call roll first?

0:24

Sorry.

0:26

Commissioner Windsor?

0:28

No.

0:30

Commissioner Peterson.

0:31

Present.

0:32

Commissioner Campbell.

0:33

Present.

0:34

Commissioner Morneau.

0:35

Present.

0:36

Commissioner Lehman.

0:37

Present.

0:38

Advice, Chair Franklin.

0:40

Present.

0:42

All right.

0:43

Now any additions or deletions to the agenda.

0:46

If not, can I have a motion to move?

0:48

We accept the agenda and ask for accepted.

0:51

Second.

0:52

Any discussion?

0:54

All in favor?

0:55

Aye.

0:56

All right.

0:58

Moving on.

0:59

Review, correction, and approval of minutes from the April 13th, 2026 meeting.

1:05

Any of a motion for that.

1:10

I make a motion to accept the minutes from the April 13th meeting.

1:14

I will second that.

1:16

Any discussion on that?

1:17

Those minutes.

1:18

Any changes, additions, deletions, corrections.

1:22

If not, all in favor?

1:25

All right.

1:26

New business.

1:28

First thing on the agenda is consideration of PL-26-18.

1:33

Resolution 09-26 on a plat for West Haven Estates subdivision.

1:40

Take it away.

1:41

All right.

1:42

Thank you.

1:42

Uh Chairman and good evening, Planning Commission.

1:46

This is the final plat of West Haven Estates.

1:49

This came before you all as a preliminary plat back in, I believe it was February.

1:54

And so we are proceeding here with the final plat.

1:58

Located off of Midland Road and Hill Pond Drive.

2:01

This is unplatted land that is 23.3 acres in size.

2:06

Currently zoned R1 residence district.

2:09

R1 basically restricts any residential development to one family dwellings only and requires a 6,000 square foot minimum lot size.

2:19

There is also a requirement for a 60-foot wide lot at the building setback line in our R1 district, and those setbacks will be addressed at the time of a building permit.

2:29

But in the R1 district, it's 25 feet in the front, 20 feet in the rear, and 5 feet on the sides.

2:41

All of those lots are at or above the 6,000 square foot minimum.

2:46

Lots 71 through 91 are proposed to be bigger than that, at least 11,000 all the way up to 16,000 square feet in size to account for a no-build drainage area.

2:56

And I'll show that up here in just a second.

2:58

These lots will require a variance from our depth to front ratio requirement of 2.5 to 1.

3:04

And that's part of what is approved with this final applic application.

3:10

So it's not a separate process.

3:38

Similar story up here.

Sheridan Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting - June 8, 2026

The Sheridan Planning and Zoning Commission met on June 8, 2026, to consider two final plat applications, a consultant award for the joint land use plan update, and routine agenda items. All motions passed unanimously.

Consent Calendar

  • Agenda approved as presented.
  • Minutes from the April 13, 2026 meeting approved.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • West Haven Estates: Adjacent property owners Stephanie and Bill Abservide expressed concerns about drainage and irrigation easements along the southern boundary, water flow management, fencing, school capacity, and the need for a pedestrian crossing signal on Midland Road. They requested access to city engineer reports and drainage documentation.
  • West Haven Estates: Another neighbor, Bill, asked about drainage, potential tax burdens on larger lots, and livestock fencing along the county boundary.
  • West Haven Estates: A resident noted existing water flow issues and asked for clarification on water rights and stormwater plans.
  • Rubberstone Final Plat: Public comment from Ryan (Edelman Loop) raised questions about school zoning, building heights, fencing, and construction phasing.
  • Rubberstone Final Plat: Drew, a neighboring property owner, opposed the density variance, stating the development packs people too densely and should be reworked to adhere to the village's master plan.
  • No public comment was provided on the Interstate Engineering award.

West Haven Estates Final Plat (PL-26-18, Resolution 09-26)

  • Staff presented the final plat for a 23.3-acre, 91-lot single-family subdivision located off Midland Road and Hill Pond Drive, zoned R1.
  • Lots 71–91 require a depth-to-front ratio variance due to a no-build drainage area; all lots meet the 6,000 sq ft minimum.
  • Open space requirements were previously met through the Cloud Peak Ranch Universal Annexation Agreement.
  • Roadways: West Haven Drive and Hill Pond Drive will have 60-foot rights-of-way with 39-foot-wide pavement and attached sidewalks; internal streets will be 36 feet wide with sidewalks.
  • Improvements to Midland Road include sidewalk, curb, gutter, and pedestrian crossing improvements at Hill Pond.
  • Water rights: an expired reservoir permit will be renewed; an irrigation pipeline serving West Park Mobile Home will be rerouted; the Alliance Lateral Ditch drainage will be managed with stormwater controls.
  • Utilities: water mains, sanitary sewer, and 10 fire hydrants.
  • Public notification: 31 property owners notified, legal ad published, sign posted; three written comments during preliminary plat and one additional drainage comment received.
  • Staff recommended approval.
  • Applicant Tyson Markham (Morrison Marley) noted a traffic signal warrant study is underway and likely not warranted at this time.
  • Discussion covered school district notification, crosswalk safety, fencing along the county boundary, and the city council process.
  • Motion to recommend approval to the city council passed unanimously.
  • The city council public hearing is scheduled for Monday, June 15, 2026, at 5:30 p.m.

Rubberstone Final Plat (PL-26-19, Resolution 10-26)

  • Staff presented the final plat for a 13.9-acre property at 1280 Dovetail Lane, zoned Gateway District, proposing 139 single-family attached units plus 15 outlots under the affordable density designation (10 units per acre).
  • A variance is requested for the depth-to-front ratio on most lots caused by zero-lot-line townhome configurations.
  • Open space: 1.5 acres proposed, exceeding the 1-acre requirement, to be maintained by the HOA.
  • Roads: Stillwater Loop will be a 60-foot right-of-way with 39-foot pavement and detached sidewalks; private access drives will be 27-foot easements with 25-foot pavement.
  • Traffic impact analysis from the 2024 village's master plan supports the development.
  • Solid waste collection plan requires bins on Stillwater Loop on designated collection days with covenant restrictions.
  • Public notification: 37 property owners notified, legal ad published, sign posted; no comments received during the review process.
  • Public concerns raised about density, school access, fencing, and unit heights (two-story on 21-foot-wide lots, one-story on 27-foot-wide lots).
  • Discussion clarified fire access, school district security preferences (no bus or sidewalk access), and the affordable housing rationale.
  • Motion to recommend approval with the variance passed unanimously.

Interstate Engineering Award for Joint Land Use Plan Update

  • Staff requested the commission's recommendation to award a contract to Interstate Engineering for the joint land use plan update, a city-county cooperative effort.
  • Background: A selection committee unanimously chose Interstate Engineering from five firms based on qualifications; the city will cover two-thirds of costs and the county one-third.
  • Scope includes evaluating infrastructure systems, identifying growth limitations, extensive public engagement, and an implementation strategy.
  • Cost: not to exceed $200,000; city portion ~$133,000, county ~$66,000. The city budget may allow using remaining funds for a future city land use plan update with the same consultant.
  • Timeline: 12–14 months.
  • Planning commission involvement will be determined; staff hope to include school district participation.
  • Motion to recommend the award passed unanimously.

Key Outcomes

  • Both final plats (West Haven Estates and Rubberstone) were recommended for approval to the city council, including the requested variances.
  • Interstate Engineering was recommended for the joint land use plan update award.
  • The community was directed to the city council public hearing on June 15, 2026, for West Haven Estates.
  • Thanks were given to outgoing commissioners Windsor and Lehman; new commissioner candidate Adam Benson was introduced.
