_____________________________________________________________________________________
SPECIAL NOTICE:
This proposal has been sent to the January 3,2024 Board of County Commissioners meeting because
Wyoming Statutes require a subdivision be scheduled for a public meeting within 45 days of a
recommendation from Wyoming DEQ.This caused this application to skip the Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting because they do not meet in December.This puts this preliminary plat application
out of order from its coordinated rezone application 102-RZ-23 that will be heard on January 24,2024 by
the Planning and Zoning Commission.
PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
To send File #113-MA-23 a Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat back to the Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting on January 24,2024 to be considered if the necessary rezone 102-RZ-23 is
approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
PROPOSAL:A Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat application proposal to subdivide 11.90 +/-acres
into six (6)residential lots.The average lot size will be 1.89 +/-acres in the Mixed Zone.The lots will
share private subdivision roads off of Old Alpine CR 12-100.Each lot will have Town of Alpine water
connections,and individually engineered enhanced septic systems that meet Wyoming DEQ
Standards.The site is surrounded by residential uses.
This proposal involves Lots 1 and 2 of the Refuge West 1st Filing and Lot 6 of the Refuge West 3rd
filing. Applicant proposes to split each lot in roughly half to create a total six (6)lots from the original
three,ranging from 1.5 acres to 2.14 acres in size.
●What is now a 4.01-acre Lot 1 parcel will become Lot 7 (2.0 acres)and Lot 8 (2.01 acres).
113-MA-23 Preliminary Plat
BCC January 3,2024
Preliminary Plat●What is now a 4.16-acre Lot 2 will become Lot 9 (2.14 acres)and Lot 10 (2.02 acres).
●What is now Lot 6 at 4.06 acres will be split to create Lot 11 (1.72 acres),Lot 12 (1.5 acres)and a
Common Area.
The average lot size will be 1.89 +/-acres currently located in the Rural Zone,awaiting a rezone
application 102-RZ-23.The lots will have access from a private subdivision road.Each lot will have
Town of Alpine Water and Engineered Enhanced Septic Systems.
LOCATION:0.25 miles west of the Town of Alpine,Wyoming in Section 19 Township 37 North,Range
118 West.
BACKGROUND:The property was purchased as Alpine Village I Lots 34,35 and 36.The subject site,
therefore,consisted of three (3),five +acre parent tracts with the Alpine Village I Subdivision.In 2001,
each of those lots were divided into two lots.
●The First Filing consisted of the creation of Lots 1 and 2 only.The First Filing was a Simple
Subdivision in its own parent tract.
●The Second Filing was for Lots 3 &4 where Lot 3 was 2.02 acres and Lot 4 was 2.01 acres.This
filing was a Simple Subdivision in its own parent tract.
●The Third Filing was for Lots 5 &6 where Lot 5 was 2.05 acres and Lot 6 was 4.06 acres.This
was also another Simple Subdivision in its own parent tract.

Kemmerer, WY 83101 STAR VALLEY CONSERVATION DISTRICT Board of Supervisors has reviewed the proposed West Refuge 4th Filing, major subdivision for Palisades Investment, LLC, in Alpine, Wyoming.
The Chapter 23 Water & Wastewater Study has been completed on this project. Any recommendations in the study supersede all recommendations made by the Star Valley Conservation District.
Recommended Plat Warnings:
SVCD recommends an enhanced septic due to the soils report finding that the soils are likely to have an issue with seepage. Due to high groundwater levels in the Star Valley area, SVCD always recommends soil cuts to
determine groundwater levels. If ground water is high, we recommend an enhanced septic system
and no basements. Please note that because groundwater is highest in the spring and early summer, that is when we recommend the soil cuts be taken. If soil cuts are done at other times know that static water level can fluctuate according to the amount of high-water runoff from year to year.
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,
STAR VALLEY CONSERVATION DISTRICT
Rollin Gardner Chairman
Subdivision Review West Refuge 4th Filing Major Subdivsion
Alpine, Wyoming August 29, 2023 Location
The West Refuge 4th Filing, for Palisades Investments- major subdivision is in section 19 T37N
R118W, Alpine, Wyoming. The proposed subdivision is +/- 11.39 acres and will be divided into 6 lots. The Chapter 23 Water & Wastewater Study has been completed on this project. Any
recommendations in the study supersede all recommendations made by the Star Valley Conservation District. Water
Star Valley Conservation District (SVCD) personnel used the State Engineers Water Rights Data Base to obtain groundwater information for this property. Well logs from wells in the vicinity indicated the static water level is between 20 and 70 feet below ground surface.
According to Surveyor Scherbel’s Office, owner’s agent, the 6 lots will each have individual
wells and septic systems. Due to high groundwater levels in the Star Valley area, SVCD always recommends soil cuts to determine groundwater levels. If ground water is high, we recommend an enhanced septic system
and no basements. Please note that because groundwater is highest in the spring and early summer,
that is when we recommend the soil cuts be taken. If soil cuts are done at other times know that static water level can fluctuate according to the amount of high-water runoff from year to year. Salt River
The Salt River is listed on Table C (Water Bodies with Water Quality Threats) of the Wyoming
Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) 2020 Section 303(d) List. The Salt River does not support the designated use for contact recreation use due to elevated levels of fecal coliform bacteria.
In response to this listing, the Star Valley Conservation District (SVCD) initiated watershed-
planning activities for the Salt River Watershed in 2003. The Salt River Watershed Plan has been
completed, was formally submitted to WDEQ and was accepted and signed by WDEQ in July 2005. SVCD completed a TMDL for the Salt River in 2016 which was submitted to WDEQ.
SVCD continues to monitor the watershed. We have collaborated with landowners to implement fencing and off stream watering for livestock. We also provide a cost share to homeowners to
pump septic systems after attending our septic workshops.
The Salt River Watershed Plan identifies rural subdivisions as adversely affecting water quality in the Salt River Watershed. Storm water run-off from subdivisions should be managed using best
management practices to ensure that pollutants such as storm water runoff, animal wastes,
sediment, and fertilizers do not reach the irrigation ditches or other surface waters in the area. If you would like more information on how you can help protect Star Valley’s water please give our office a call at 307-885-7823.
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WYDEQ) requires all construction sites that disturb 1 acre or more to have a construction NPDES permit. The areas do not have to be contiguous. The permit requires construction site operators to implement appropriate erosion and
sediment control best management practices, control waste such as discarded building materials,
concrete truck wash-out, chemicals, litter, and sanitary wastes. Operators of construction activities must develop a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that describes the measures to be implemented at the construction site that will
eliminate or minimize pollutants from the project from reaching surface waters.
The terms and conditions of the permit must be implemented until the land disturbed by construction activities has been ‘finally stabilized.’ Finally stabilized is defined as “all soil disturbing activities at the site have been completed, and a uniform perennial vegetative cover
with a density of 70% of the native background vegetative cover for the area has been
established on all disturbed unpaved areas and areas not covered by permanent structures”. If construction will disturb 5 or more acres a stormwater permit from WYDEQ is required.
For more information regarding the NPDES requirements please contact Katy Sprouse by phone or
email at 307-777-7570 (katysprouse@wyo.gove)Anita Rehner, WYDEQ Program Coordinator at 307-777-5622 or (arehner@state.wy.us).
Soils
The following soils information provided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) Soil Survey of Star Valley Area, Wyoming – Idaho. This information does not eliminate the need for onsite investigation of the soils or for testing and analysis of these soils by a Wyoming Licensed Engineer experienced in the design and construction of engineering work.
The proposed subdivision is comprised of 1 soil type, identified as Hobacker gravelly sandy loam
(Hb). Limitations: ‘not limited’ indicates that the soil has features that are favorable for the specified use, good performance and very low maintenance can be expected. ‘Somewhat limited’
indicates that the soil has features that are moderately favorable for the specified use. The
limitations can be overcome or minimized by special planning, design, and installation. Fair performance and moderate maintenance can be expected. Soils with ‘very limited’ designations indicate that the soil has one or more features that are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations generally cannot be overcome without major soil reclamation, special design, or
expensive installation procedures, poor performance and high maintenance can be expected.
Dwelling with and without basements: The degree of limitations for dwellings with and without basements in areas of Hobacker gravelly sandy loam (Hb) is rated as Not Limited.
Soil cuts were not conducted as part of this review. Care should be taken not to locate buildings in the intermittent drainage or any drainage channel where overland flooding could occur during
early spring snowmelt or heavy thunderstorms. Sewage Disposal: The degree of limitations for septic tank absorption fields for areas containing Hobacker gravelly sandy loam (Hb) is rated as Very Limited due to seepage.
Roads and streets: The degree of limitations for roads and streets for areas containing Hobacker
gravelly sandy loam (Hb) is Somewhat Limited due to frost action. Shallow excavations: The degree of limitations for shallow excavations for areas containing the Hobacker gravelly sandy loam (Hb) is Very Limited due to cutbanks cave.
Erosion Hazard: The potential of erosion hazard for unsurfaced roads and trails and construction sites in areas containing Hobacker gravelly sandy loam (Hb) is rated as Slight. To avoid potential erosion or sedimentation problems all disturbed areas during subdivision
construction, especially road banks, need to be mulched and seeded back to adapted
grass/legumes and tress/shrubs as soon as possible. Topsoil should be stockpiled and saved during construction, so adequate seedbeds can be prepared in the disturbed areas. Appropriate erosion and sediment control best management practices should be installed and maintained for the duration of the project.
Noxious Weeds Lincoln County Weed and Pest report is included separately. Please note and follow the recommendations therein.
Lincoln County Weed & Pest furnishes herbicides for noxious weed control at a discount to
landowners. Check with Weed and Pest to see if you qualify. They also offer ATV sprayers and 25-gallon pickup sprayers for rent. All visits to the property as well as any consultations are at no charge. To contact Lincoln
County Weed and Pest call 307-885-9333 (WEED).
Small Acreage Grazing/Livestock Management Please be aware, grazing animals on small acreages can have a significant impact on the condition of soil, water, plants, and other natural resources.
Care should be taken to ensure agricultural activities such as grazing, corrals, pastures, feedlots, animal waste storage or spreading does not take place within any wellhead protection zone. Best management practices should be implemented on these parcels to ensure animal wastes
does not reach spring or Salt River during times of high water, snow melt, or storm run-off. This
can be done by using berms, filters strips, grassed swales and catch ponds. The SVCD recommends the individual lot owners obtain a site-specific grazing and waste management conservation plan from the local Natural Resources Conservation Service office in Afton. The plans are provided free of charge.
For more information, please contact the NRCS office in Afton by phone at 307-886-9001.
Wildfire and Landscaping: Wildfire is possible in this area. Well planned landscaping can reduce wildfire danger. The home should have a defensible space. SVCD recommends
following the guidelines in the University of Wyoming Barnyards and Backyards Living with
Wildfire in Wyoming publication. http://www.uwyo.edu/barnbackyard/_files/documents/resources/wildfire2013/wildfire_web.pdf
Wildlife Friendly Fencing
Fences cause the direct mortality of wildlife through entanglement and prohibition of movement to seasonal ranges. Fences constructed or currently in existence on the property should be designed to allow free and unrestricted movement of wildlife. Wyoming Game and Fish Department recommends fences be built to minimally restrict livestock and horses, while
allowing free movement of wildlife (e.g. a smooth bottom wire 16-18 inches above ground, a 39- inch maximum height and at least 12 inches between the top two wires). Wildlife can benefit from any area of open space. For more information please see Fencing Guidelines for Wildlife Wyoming Game & Fish Habitat Extension Bulletin No. 53 at the Wyoming Game and Fish website http://gf.state.wy.us/downloads/pdf/habitat/Bulletin%20No.%2053.pdf.
Homeowners should protect ornamental shrubs used for landscaping and future homeowners should know that, by state statute, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department is not liable for damage caused to ornamental plants by wildlife.
The potential exists for wildlife conflicts, especially between wildlife and free-ranging domestic pets. The landowner should take precautions to minimize harassment of wildlife by dogs and cats. It is illegal to allow pets to chase or kill wildlife. Likewise, rural landowners should recognize that black bears, mountain lions, and other carnivores may come near their dwellings and may pose a threat to pets allowed to range freely.
Sensitive Species and Historical Resources Sensitive, threatened, or endangered species were not evaluated as part of this review.

RE:Refuge West Fourth Filing Subdivision 113 MA 23
Dear Commissioners:
The State Engineer’s Office Ground Water Division received application material related to the Refuge
West Fourth Filing Subdivision from Lincoln County Office of Planning and Development,requesting
information and advice.
The proposed subdivision is to be located in the SW¼NE1¼of Section 19 of T37N,R118W,Lincoln
County,Wyoming.The subdivision consists of 6 lots.The proposed water system is municipal supply
from the Town of Alpine.Based upon the review of both the subdivision application and a preliminary
search of the agency’s water rights database,the State Engineer’s Office offers the following:
Our office reviewed the referenced submittal in compliance with W.S.18-5-306.We find that in respect to
W.S.18-5-306(a)(xi)the subdivider needs to address the following items:
1.The water right search revealed that there are no existing water rights of record that attach to the
subdivision lands.Given this,further action on the part of the subdivider or his agent in addressing
Wyoming Statute 18-5-306 (a)(xi)is not required.
Additional Comments:
2.An approved permit from the Wyoming State Engineer’s Office is required prior to the drilling of any
water well.The procurement of the necessary and appropriate State Engineer water right permit
allows the applicant to attempt to develop a water supply adequate to meet their proposed needs,and
is no guarantee that any water will be physically available.
3.If any new wells are proposed,they must be constructed in accordance with the State Engineer’s
Office Rules and Regulations,Part III,Water Well Minimum Construction Standards.
4.Any well not to be used must be properly plugged and abandoned as outlined in the above referenced
rules and regulations.
