Proposed Base Area Zoning Setbacks Amendment

Bridger Pines has proposed a text amendment to the B4 zoning, which covers most of the Base Area. The proposed change reduces the setbacks from property boundaries and roads for small parcels. I’ve attached a copy of the application, and the changed language is just below. BCPOA board members toured the area last weekend to get a feel for what this might imply. The application will be heard at the commission meetings in February.

The complete application is here:

With overwhelming approval of the membership and board, BCPOA will pursue an appeal of the Petty CUPs and variances. An amendment to the initial complaint will be filed soon. The initial complaint will likely be followed by briefs within a month or two and a court hearing for summary judgment some time later. Because some points of the case are constitutional, BCPOA hopes to recover some litigation costs.

Concerning the interchange about Bridger Pines’ sewage lagoon dewatering, see Gallatin County’s report, Bridger Pines Site Visit 092012. An excerpt:

Discussion & Summary: Again, I did not find evidence of a ‘dam breach’ or massive sewage leak. I was also unable to tell if the existing pump discharge is more than normal for this historically leaking lagoon. But there is water from the pond reaching Bridger Creek after flowing down slope and through meadows a distance of about 1/3 rd mile.
