Chairwoman Overfield opened the public hearing.
Mr. Dillivan stated an SUP application was received from Michael Gimmeson to request an amendment to the conditions of approval for Pure Heart Retreat which was approved by Resolution 2022-82 on August 23, 2022. The request is to allow longer term, full season, winter rental of four lodging domes and use of the yoga studio dome during the winter months.
Public comments were received in opposition of the change of use and shared with the Board. Agency referrals have been met and seven conditions were read into the record.
Chairwoman Overfield called for public comments. Bonnie Dallinger spoke in opposition. Michael Gimmeson, owner stated this is a wellness retreat which they would like to use year-round for guests and can coexist in harmony with wildlife. Mr. & Mrs. Gimmeson handed out documents showing the plans and use of the property which was already approved to operate May 1 to November 14 and the request is to change dates of operation. Mrs. Gimmeson stated it would also be hard to operate a yoga studio and close for the two months Game & Fish recommends.
There being no further comments, Commissioner Mangold made a motion to close the public hearing, Commissioner Thiel seconded.
Discussions regarding limited time of use change, Game & Fish concerns and comments received regarding change in operation.
Commissioner Mangold made a motion to approve with staff recommendations that were presented, Commissioner Thiel seconded, further discussions on lighting, only using yoga dome in winter months, domes further out in open spaces, Commissioner Livingston and Steward opposed, Chairwoman Overfield opposed also, motion failed.
RESOLUTION 2023-53
Kim Dillivan, Planning & Zoning Assistant Director RE: Williams Consideration of Penalties
Ms. Hill stated the Planned Unit Development Agreement (PUD) identifies the types of uses that are permissible on the property. Permits necessary to operate the current or proposed uses on the property have not been received. Notice was sent and was returned to the office unclaimed. The Sheriff then served the paperwork for consideration of penalties which stated the corrective action or discontinue all unpermitted uses and events on the property.
The property is located at 2631 Hwy 120 in which the PUD has been in place since August 8, 1995 and does not allow for the uses taking place without permits.
Jalie Meinecke representing the William’s stated she felt the PUD agreement predates the 2015 Park County standards and therefore permits are not required.
After discussions the Board has decided to seek legal council before proceeding with penalties.
Kim Dillivan, Planning & Zoning Assistant Director RE: Kardos SS-292 Final Plat
Mr. Dillivan presented the revised final plat for Nathan Kardos. If approved, it would create a two-lot subdivision resulting in two 7.73-acre lots and a 35-acre remaining parcel. The property is located southwest of Cody, south of Pauley Avenue. Notices and agency referrals have been met. Staff recommends approval with four recommendations which were read into the record.
Commissioner Livingston moved to approve as presented, Commissioner Thiel seconded, motion carried. RESOLUTION 2023-54
Commissioners RE: Nominations for LGLP Board Vacancies –
After discussion the Board has no nominations to put forth.
Kim Dillivan, Planning & Zoning Assistant Director Re: Gines SS-313 Final Plat
Mr. Dillivan presented the revised final plat for Colby & Codi Gines. If approved, it would create a two-lot subdivision consisting of one 3.83-acre lot and one 31.18-acre lot for residential and ag use. The property is located five miles southwest of Powell and 1.5 miles south of Ralston with an address of 15 Joslen Drive. Notices and agency referrals have been met.

Linda Smith & Linda Dalton Powell Senior Center RE: ARPA Funds for New Senior Center
Ms. Dalton gave an update regarding the effort to build a new senior center in Powell. The land that had been gifted for the project by the Rocky Mountain Manor has been withdrawn. The present building has numerous maintenance issues including some that are of concern to the State Fire Marshal. Board President Smith asked if the one-million-dollar ARPA fund commitment could but put into an escrow account that is restricted for the new building but use any accrued interest for maintenance on the current building. The commissioners questioned whether the funds can be used this way and stated that there is a limited time frame for the usage of the ARPA funds. Further discussion centered around how the Sr. Board could move forward as there is a real need for senior services in the community, the commissioners agreed to continue this dialogue in the future.
Adjourn.
Commissioner Livingston moved to adjourn, Commissioner Mangold seconded, and the motion carried.
