ANOTHER NEW SUBDIVISION PLANNED AT THREE FORKS JUNCTION
Traffic and access to the highway will be the biggest hurdle for Rick Remitz, developer of the planned Vista at Headwaters Subsequent Minor Subdivision, as presented by Nichole Brown, Community Development Director at a May 17 County Commissioner meeting. “Traffic has increased exponentially in that one-mile area along the Interstate 90 and Highway 287 Junction,” Brown said.
Access to the eleven-acre, 5 lot subdivision will be on Wheatland Road, but also directly onto Highway 287. Although Remitz and his engineer, Bill Dryer of Bozeman, have had one traffic study completed, they will work with Montana Department of Highways (MDOT) to have another study done. The last one is two years old. The developer will also be working with County Road Supervisor TJ Graveley since the proposed subdivision will impact Wheatland Road. Following a lengthy discussion, Brown presented a laundry list of conditions of approval for the developer to meet before commissioners can review for approval.
The board approved County Health Department Director Ruby Taylor’s request for the use of federal and state funds provided by her office for some administrative pay, but also for end-of-year miscellaneous charges. The amount approved is $6,870.
Broadwater County Fair Manger Jessica Erickson presented the Fair Board’s updated Bylaws. The bylaws had not been updated since 2020. Deputy County Attorney helped with language clarification. The commissioners approved the changes.
