The Yellowstone County Board of Commissioners on June 19 approved the preliminary minor plat for Snowberry Subdivision, a proposed three‑lot residential division on 3.74 acres in the unzoned portion of the county.

Planning Department staffer Hunter told the commissioners the proposal would create three lots on a 3.74‑acre parcel currently used for residential purposes and recommended conditional approval with five standard conditions, including MDQ approval, placement of mailboxes in coordination with the U.S. Postal Service and a county‑approved weed management plan.

The recommendation noted the final plat must comply with Yellowstone County subdivision regulations and Montana rules. Commissioner (unnamed) moved to approve the preliminary plat and adopt the staff report findings of fact; the motion was seconded and approved with all commissioners voting aye.

The approval binds the applicant to the five conditions identified in the staff report; county staff will review the applicant’s final subdivision improvement and related documents before final plat recordation.
