PROPOSAL:A Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat application proposal to subdivide 129.31 +/-acres
into Twenty Five (25)residential lots and one Ranch Lot.The average lot size before factoring in Ranch
Land will be a 2.67 +/-acre average for residential lots in the Rural Zone.With the ranch land included
the average lot size increases to a 5.17 +/-acre average for all land in the subdivision.The lots will share
a private subdivision road “Trespass Escape”off of State Line CR 114,and a Rendezvous Court dead end
road.Each lot will have individual wells,and individual Engineered-Enhanced septic systems permitted
directly through Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality.
The site is surrounded by agricultural and residential uses with the Salt River flowing through the east
side of the subdivision.The new proposed subdivision roads will require a 26’travelway.

BACKGROUND:
This is 129 acres in Freedom Wyoming located adjacent to the Salt River.The developer has excavated
a 2+acre pond they wish to be used as an amenity for the future lot owners.The majority of the lots are
outside the 100 year flood zone and outside the National Wetlands Inventory.With the 150’setback to
the Salt River,there are no buildable areas inside the floodplain or wetlands.The Luthi Ditch traverses
Lots 6-15,and the 100 year floodplain crosses the eastern lot edges for Lots 1-15.
CORRESPONDENCE:
Lincoln County Weed &Pest:A Weed Management Plan is required by the Development Agreement to
prevent these noxious weeds from propagating freely.
Star Valley Conservation District:“STAR VALLEY CONSERVATION DISTRICT Board of
Supervisors has reviewed the proposed Trespass Ranch,major subdivision in Freedom,Wyoming.
This property has a Section 23 Water Study,and this Section 23 water study supersedes any
recommendations regarding soil cuts and the high groundwater table in this report.
Due to groundwater levels being so close to the surface in all four sections SVCD recommends
enhanced septic systems and no basements.We also recommend that soil cuts be taken in the
spring/early summer when groundwater is highest.Please note that if soil cuts are done at other
times static water levels fluctuate according to the amount of high-water runoff from year to year.
Please note that the property has an irrigation water right from the Salt River through the Luthi
Ditch.The water district must have maintenance access to the ditch.Landscaping such as trees,
shrubbery,etc.,within one rod (16.5 feet)of either side of the ditch is prohibited and is subject to
removal by the ditch company.
State Engineer's Office:The SEO has provided a letter,see attached.Water rights are on the property
and will need to be addressed by the developer.

Systems and individual water wells and determined these are safe and adequate for the Trespass Ranch
Subdivision.DEQ Recommend a Plat Warning with the following text:
In order to meet requirements established in Wyoming Water Quality Rules,Chapter 23,Section
7(d)(viii)(A)(I and II)and Chapter 23,Section 7 (d)(viii)(B)individual septic systems for the
Trespass Ranch Subdivision are required to be enhanced treatment systems per Chapter 23,
Section 7 (d)(viii)(C)(I and II).These enhanced treatment systems must have advanced nitrogen
removal technology that is capable of achieving an effluent Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen concentration
of less than 25 mg/L (maximum 30-day average)and advanced fecal removal technology that is
capable of achieving an effluent Fecal Coliform count of less than 800 colonies/100 mL
(maximum 30-day geometric mean).
For all 25 lots within the Trespass Ranch Subdivision it is the individual lot/home owner's
responsibility to obtain a Chapter 3 Permit to Construct from the Wyoming Department of
Environmental Quality for the construction and/or modification of an enhanced treatment septic
system.A Wyoming Registered Professional Engineer must design the enhanced treatment
septic system per WQR Chapter 23,Section 7(d)(viii)(E).A Permit to Construct Application for
enhanced treatment septic systems must be submitted to the Water Quality Division Southwest
District Engineer in Lander.For the proposed advanced Enviro-Septic enhanced treatment septic
systems the bottom of the leach field bed sand must be at least 6 feet above the seasonally high
groundwater.
After domestic well installation and prior to use,the WDEQ WQD suggests that homeowners
have their well sampled for the following constituents:The National Primary Drinking Water
Regulations inorganic chemicals,microorganisms,radionuclides and the National Secondary
Drinking Water Regulations contaminants.In addition,the WQD suggests homeowners have their

Kemmerer, WY 83101 STAR VALLEY CONSERVATION DISTRICT Board of Supervisors has reviewed the proposed Trespass Ranch, major subdivision in Freedom, Wyoming.
This property has a Section 23 Water Study, and this Section 23 water study supersedes any recommendations regarding soil cuts and the high groundwater table in this report. Due to groundwater levels being so close to the surface in all four sections SVCD recommends
enhanced septic systems and no basements. We also recommend that soil cuts be taken in the
spring/early summer when groundwater is highest. Please note that if soil cuts are done at other times static water levels fluctuate according to the amount of high-water runoff from year to year. Please note that the property has an irrigation water right from the Salt River through the Luthi
Ditch. The water district must have maintenance access to the ditch. Landscaping such as trees,
shrubbery, etc., within one rod (16.5 feet) of either side of the ditch is prohibited and is subject to removal by the ditch company. For more information, please contact our office at 307-885-7823. This report satisfies the Conservation District Review as required by Wyoming State Statute 18-5-
306. No other use is intended or implied. If there is any more information, we can provide for you,
please let us know. Yours truly,

Traffic Flow Analysis for Trespass Subdivision
Prepared by: Scott A. Scherbel, Professional Land Surveyor , Wyoming License No. 3889
Date: 15 March 2023
The Trespass Subdivision property is located on the east side of State Line County Road No. 12-
114. The subdivision consists of 25 residential home sites and a 61-acre Ranch Land area.
The property has two access points onto the State Line Road. The primary subdivision access is
four hundred (400) feet north of the intersections of the Grant Clark Court County Road No. 12-
184 and Idaho State Highway No. 34 with the State Line Road. A secondary access from the
subdivision is onto the Grant Clark Court Road.
It is expected that the primary access directly onto State Line Road will be the one principally
used by the residential lots. The secondary access will be the one principally used for access to
the Ranch Land area.
Upon reaching the State Line Road from either access point, a driver has three choices of
direction: one mile south along State Line Road to the Freedom Community; north along State
Line Road or west into Idaho.
Going south the one mile to the Freedom Community brings traffic to State Highway 239 which
runs east 1.5 miles to U. S. Highway 89 with a choice to go north to Alpine, Jackson and Idaho
Falls, or south to Thayne, Afton and Cokeville. The southern route brings traffic to U. S.
Highway 30 and access to eastern Wyoming via I-80, Evanston and Utah via Utah State
Highways or the Bear Lake and Logan areas via Utah State Highways.
Going north 3 miles along State Line Road brings traffic to the Creamery County Road No.12-
111 and then east 1.5 miles to U. S. Highway 89 3/4 of a mile north of the Etna Community. This
route would be the shortest route from the Subdivision to Alpine, Jackson and Idaho Falls.
Going west into Idaho takes traffic eventually to Soda Springs and U.S. Highway 30. This route
would be the shortest route to McCammon, Idaho, and its junction with I-15.
The Lincoln County regulations state that the average daily vehicle trip for a residential lot is
11.25 trips. So, for 25 lots that yields a total daily vehicle trip count of 281 trips.
It is expected that the majority of the traffic will head for U. S. Highway 89. With two routes
from which to choose, it is expected that 75% of the drivers will select the southbound route via
Freedom and Highway 239 which is the shortest and fastest route to U.S. Highway 89. In
addition to the route being the shortest and fastest, the intersection of Highways 239 and 89 is the
better, safer intersection both onto and off of Highway 89 than the Creamery Road intersection.
The remaining 25% will take the northbound route along State Line Road and Creamery Road as
the shortest route to Alpine, Jackson and Idaho Falls.
