Road-safety memorandum of understanding
The board approved a memorandum of understanding with the Wyoming Department of Transportation to participate in the Wyoming Rural Road Safety Program, authorizing replacement road-safety signs on county roads. David Gustafson of Teton County Road and Levee told the board these signs are replacement signs for existing county road signs and staff are prepared to answer questions on placement and maintenance. The motion to approve the MOU passed unanimously.

Old library pre-construction services
The commission approved work order 7.0 for pre-construction services with Wimber Inc. for the Old Library project for a not-to-exceed amount of $20,355, including reimbursables. Sarah Mann, Director of General Services, said Wimber was hired to assist with preconstruction because of the building’s historic-preservation issues and town permitting. Susan Erickson Meyer, administrator for the Teton County Historic Preservation Board, spoke in support and encouraged use of local preservation expertise. The motion carried unanimously.

Agility Recovery IT membership
The board approved a three-year membership agreement with Agility Recovery for disaster recovery equipment and services to support enterprise IT operations. Enterprise IT manager Alisa Dunn described the service as “like an insurance policy,” explaining the membership fee would be about $9,000 a year and would guarantee delivery of a self-contained recovery unit (power, shelter, IT equipment) if a disaster disabled county facilities. The motion passed unanimously.

Historic Preservation grant agreement
The commission approved the Teton County Historic Preservation Board’s grant agreement with the Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office to prepare a “moved buildings” context document. Susan Erickson Meyer described the work as documenting how building relocation in the county can be compatible with National Register eligibility and potential tax incentives. The motion carried unanimously.

Six-month budget amendment
Teton County Clerk Maureen Murphy presented the fiscal year six-month budget amendment; commissioners approved the amendment unanimously. The amendment reorganizes budget lines (including a separation of helicopter and transportation budgets into distinct line items), incorporates previously approved adjustments, and cleans up fiscal-year 2025 inputs.

Other consent items
The board also placed additional items on the consent agenda earlier in the meeting (sole-source mental-health contract, coroner feasibility study contract, fair contract with Montana Premier, rental-agreement amendment for Snow King radio site, Justice Center relocation planning contract, and a historic preservation board agreement for a conference) and approved them as part of the consent calendar.

All consent items were approved by roll-call voice vote with no recorded dissent.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Teton County - Regular Mtg - Jan 28, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Teton County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 28 approved a set of consent items including a Wyoming DOT road-safety MOU, a $20,355 pre-construction work order for the Old Library, a three-year Agility Recovery IT membership (~$9,372 per year), a grant with the Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office and a six-month budget amendment.","taxTitle","Teton County, Wyoming","taxId",63785,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6681815,"Commission approves Deer Drive mixed-use light industrial and mini-storage plan with housing mitigation",1182,1362000,2544000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2159053-40c025067c5f75ab088e72efc9ddc695&start=1362&end=2544","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2159053-40c025067c5f75ab088e72efc9ddc695/thumbnail_1362000.jpg","/articles/6681815/Teton-County/Wyoming/Commission-approves-Deer-Drive-mixed-use-light-industrial-and-mini-storage-plan-with-housing-mitigation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6681815-27e2e281b3ad32d9b0115de8276c053a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141977&Signature=Kh7hdoxqj8Uc39hexyCucvVqDPcTBJTGAw2sbmv1BN4dvqf3OBL0FpSfzmpUgfqFnS9T6FkXFm9-9AEeQK7KnPKI3TceBfIrViJak01l93ry8eceyQ6X0q5G2p~zjuptFdiy4~4oBktIaJhTo9IJ~hLIInJGtRLLHMC~O7BRC~42e9VGqDkfKk7XEEzpdPOAqyJYmSYnNqfh-tUOrced6r-5sOJzPxaoIAi5TAnyJrtqzlz613FTpsqMNgKA~XsnQVhSRCnl4vIl2X1qYNvAODBdWlum-mi0vGZR-nNXawW1c7tIBlNqk~5ItA2idiu9w3K6QIPcVg8oCE4sjrpMFQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Teton County commissioners approved a development plan (DEV2024-0003) on Jan. 28 for a mixed-use project at 605 West Deer Drive (Lot 4, Valley View Subdivision). The project, proposed by Deer Drive LLC (applicant Kinsey LLC / Cornelius Kinsey), includes mini-storage warehouse buildings and light industrial/shop space alongside three accessory residential units (ARUs). The board’s approval was unanimous.

Senior planner Chandler Windham presented the proposal and described changes since the project’s sketch-plan approval: the number of storage units decreased from approximately 400 to 372, the light-industrial area totals 12,497 square feet, and three ARUs are proposed. Windham said staff found the plan met business-park development standards and that the required landscape and parking objectives had been addressed; one administrative adjustment reduced required plant units due to site constraints.

Windham explained affordable housing mitigation results: the mitigation calculation came to 1.652 units; the applicant proposed deed restricting one two-bedroom ARU as affordable (under 120% of median income) and paying a fee in lieu for the fractional remainder. The other two ARUs will be deed restricted as workforce housing (no income cap) per the county’s housing rules.

Tyler Davis, listed as an owner of the property, told commissioners parking constraints guided unit sizing: “We start running into a little bit more of the parking problem.” He said the project added three bedrooms compared with the prior submittal.

Commissioners approved DEV2024-0003 with three conditions: (1) the two-bedroom ARU must have an affordable workforce housing deed restriction recorded with the Teton County Clerk prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy in form acceptable to the Jackson/Teton County Affordable Housing Department; (2) prior to issuance of any commercial building permits that generate over one unit of housing mitigation, the applicant must pay affordable-housing fee in lieu as required; and (3) the remaining two ARUs must have workforce housing deed restrictions recorded prior to certificate of occupancy, in forms acceptable to the housing department.

The decision carries standard findings required for a development plan and includes monitoring of building permits to collect any required fees in lieu as building permits come in.","The county approved DEV2024-0003, allowing a mixed-use light industrial and mini-storage development at 605 West Deer Drive with three accessory residential units and housing mitigation conditions.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6681820,"Teton County raises wetland setback to 50 feet after months of debate",8148,2936000,11084000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2159053-40c025067c5f75ab088e72efc9ddc695&start=2936&end=11084","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2159053-40c025067c5f75ab088e72efc9ddc695/thumbnail_2936000.jpg","/articles/6681820/Teton-County/Wyoming/Teton-County-raises-wetland-setback-to-50-feet-after-months-of-debate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6681820-1342ff4c15c20faa027783b9ba87174b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141977&Signature=oBU2AurK0woEUv~ggeV00psYYkV02u7EzLXO1M4jRE33fCMU-NwIDsMFDq90Ou54LEoscN3NXX-Z45jPhxSeyC998rEt9IkxjEv4a3VMYcciqus2or0s24HJakUUTP-2BjuBwdpLvoAaQFx1XZQ77h3SQfKAa3RHvmIobP4zGRT9y3dyFQUkzDWFtVPrXv7CzTOrMbAfynag5MdYm6uV3O85vJPTo6qmGSauOxVEhC9zMXqqw4onCe50WvHCbVEkfob9Cs~dCgfZp3phWFuZNcKnAdmcprUbVKvHLLdy-otw796~cwAicvege3bm0dvfBIyEQV1JyNnibtRIgzZgwQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Teton County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 28 adopted an amendment to Land Development Regulation (LDR) Section 5.1.1 that increases the standard setback for wetlands from 30 feet to 50 feet, a change commissioners approved 4–1.

The change was presented by Ryan Hostetter, Joint Long Range Planning, as part of a broader package of amendments (AMD 2024-004 / ZMA 2024-001) that also revises how streams, wetlands and other water-related features are defined and regulated. Hostetter told the board staff had cleaned up definitions, removed references to “apportioned water,” and clarified the distinction between perennial, intermittent and ephemeral channels.

“The reason why it was in there ... but, for the purposes of setbacks, who owns the water is not important,” Hostetter said during the presentation, describing edits made to simplify the draft.

Public commenters and local conservation groups urged stronger, broader protections. Phil Powers of Protect Our Water Jackson Hole and Amy Kluthoff of the Jackson Hole Conservation Alliance both told commissioners the valley’s water resources are closely interconnected and urged robust buffers. “Setting development back from all water bodies is critical to protect water quality countywide and beyond,” Kluthoff said.

Teton Conservation District director Carlin Gerard spoke to differences between intermittent and perennial streams and the ways those channels contribute to watershed function. Hamilton Smith of County Planning and Building Services described how the department reviews reservoirs and man-made basins and how those features are treated under existing stormwater and infrastructure rules.

Commissioners and staff debated the scope and next steps of the broader amendment package. Several commissioners and members of the public urged further review of separate suggestions filed by Protect Our Water and the Conservation Alliance — which propose additional definitions and setbacks for features such as fens and springs — before adopting any additional changes. Deputy County Attorney Abigail Moore advised that substantial new definitions or setbacks not included in the legal notice could require additional public notice and potentially another formal review cycle.

Following discussion, the board voted to adopt the January 2025 draft of Section 5.1.1 with the single substantive change to increase wetland setbacks from 30 to 50 feet. The motion passed 4–1 (one commissioner opposed). The board deferred additional, broader changes — including separate consideration of fen- and spring-specific setbacks and reservoir treatment — for later review and directed staff to continue work on remaining items in the AMD package.

The commission noted the decision applies to LDR Section 5.1.1 (water bodies and wetlands) and that further technical work on the tiered natural resource overlay (the related mapping and procedural changes) would continue in subsequent meetings.

The board recessed after the vote and planned further hearings later in the day on the remainder of the NRO amendments.","After extended public comment and staff presentations, the Teton County Board of Commissioners adopted revisions to LDR Section 5.1.1 increasing the standard wetland setback from 30 to 50 feet; the motion passed 4–1.","actionData","errors"]
