appointment to go onsite to evaluate the noxious weeds in the area. The purpose of this visit is to ensure that a weed management plan be in place on the above-mentioned property.

I received on Friday the Notice regarding this pending application. I have not had
suf icient time to thoroughly review the ile, but we do have concerns as an adjoining
landowner. These concerns include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. The parcel which is the subject of this application is already within a platted
subdivision. All of the lots within the platted subdivision appear to be of
signi icantly similar size. Allowing one Lot owner to subdivide into smaller
parcels, may set a precedent allowing all additional landowners in the
subdivision to submit similar applications. If any of the similar situated
landowners choose to submit applications for division, it could double the
density of the area and have signi icant impact on the existing subdivision,
including traf ic, water, road maintenance etc.
2. The subject parcel appears to be in a Rural Zone. Pursuant to Chapter 1 of the
Lincoln County Land Use Regulations, “The purpose of the Rural Zone is to
maintain the essential rural character of the great majority of the private lands
in the county. The zone will provide for agricultural uses combined with low
density (typically 5 or more acres average per lot) residential uses, including
residential subdivisions where three or more lots are located.” [Emphasis
added]. Therefore, the proposed further division of an existing parcel from a 5
acre parcel to two 2.5 acre parcels is not consistent or in accordance with the
Lincoln County Land Use Regulations.
3. The Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions of the existing subdivision provide
the Lots shall be used solely for private, single-family residential purposes, and
there shall not be constructed or maintained thereon more than two single-
family dwellings. By approving the proposed application, the subject lot could
now include up to four residences on a 5 acre parcel, which is clearly not
consistent with the CCRs nor the Laramie County Land Use Regulations.
If you have any questions regarding any of the above, please do not hesitate to contact
me. Thank you for your consideration.
