The Bannock County Commissioners convened on May 27, 2025, for a public hearing regarding the vacation petition for the Sunnygate Subdivision. The meeting focused on the proposal to vacate portions of Burton Road and Aubrey Road within the subdivision, which is part of an ongoing effort to optimize land use in the area.
Kyle, representing the staff, presented the report, noting that the subdivision contains several small parcels that are currently unbuildable. The goal of the proposed vacation is to create more sellable parcels while ensuring safety and accessibility along Highway 91. Kyle recommended approval of the vacation, aligning with previous planning and development recommendations.
Commissioner discussions followed, with some expressing concerns about the ongoing piecemeal approach to the subdivision's development. One commissioner emphasized the need for a comprehensive master plan rather than continuous incremental changes. However, another commissioner acknowledged the long-standing nature of the subdivision's issues and expressed support for the current request.
A motion was made to approve the vacation of the specified streets, which was met with no further discussion. The motion passed unanimously, with all commissioners voting in favor.
In conclusion, the meeting resulted in the approval of the vacation of portions of Burton and Aubrey Roads, marking a step forward in the development of the Sunnygate Subdivision. The commissioners will continue to address the broader planning needs of the area in future sessions.
