Proposed Lot 1A and Lot 1B will be approximately 1.5 acres and 2.5 acres respectively, and used for single-family residential purposes. The property is located near Woods Bay, accessed off of Woodside Lane, approximately .09 miles west of US Highway 35.

At this meeting the Planning Board will make a recommendation for approval, conditional approval, or denial of the subdivision application and preliminary plat to the Lake County Board of Commissioners. THIN BLUE LINE MAJOR SUBDIVISION VARIANCE REQUEST Western Montana Land Services LLC, on behalf of Jack and Claudia McCready, has submitted a variance request to the road intersection standards found in Section X.I.19 of the Lake County Subdivision Regulations. The requested variance would allow two roads meeting a third to be offset less than 300 feet for collector roads. The variance allows for proposed Sharpshooter Lane and proposed Peacemaker Drive to intersect Airport Road less than 300 feet from each other; and for proposed Sharpshooter Lane to intersect Airport Road less 300 feet from existing Sparky Lane. The Thin Blue Line Major Subdivision received preliminary plat approval on October 17, 2019 to create three (3) commercial lots and ten (10) residential lots to be completed in three phases from a 32.20 acre parcel of land located between the Town of St. Ignatius and St. Ignatius Airport adjacent to Airport Road.

The property is legally described as Tract 1 of the Walker Commercial Subdivision, located in the NE1/4 NW 1/4 of Section 13 of T18N, R20W. At this meeting the Planning Board will make a recommendation for approval, conditional approval, or denial of the variance request to the Lake County Board of Commissioners.
