The 875 Hidden Treasure Court Minor Subdivision is a proposal to divide a 16.07-acre property located at 875 Hidden Treasure Ct. in Bonner, MT into two separate parcels. The property, currently known as Tract 27 of Certificate of Survey 219, is owned by Charley France and represented by Woith Engineering. View the map here.
The property currently has one single-family residence. The proposal includes constructing a second single-family home and a detached shop on the new lot. Two existing wells will provide water for both domestic use and irrigation. The existing home is served by a permitted septic system, and a new septic system is proposed for the second home.
Legal and physical access to the subdivision is provided by two private roads — Hidden Treasure Court and Camas Road — which connect to the public Hole in the Wall Road, located approximately 0.7 miles away. As part of the application, the developers are also requesting that the Board of County Commissioners consider establishing utility easements within county-owned road parcels to provide utility access from the public right-of-way.
Missoula County is seeking public comment on how the proposal meets subdivision review criteria, including:
Compliance with zoning and the Missoula County Growth Policy
Impacts on agriculture, local services, the environment, wildlife, and public health and safety
Conformance with survey and subdivision regulations
Access and infrastructure adequacy

Missoula County Floodplain Development Permit #25-07

The Missoula County Planning, Development & Sustainability Department (PDS) has received a floodplain development permit application from the City of Missoula for excavation, grading and channel realignment in the Grant Creek regulated flood hazard area. The site is located on multiple parcels, described as Tract 1-A of COS 6916, and Tracts 2,3 and 4 of COS 6758 in Sections 1 and 6, Township 13 North, Range 20 West, Missoula County, P.M.M. Project maps are in the application packet. This is a portion of Grant Creek referred to as “Horseshoe Bend,” southeast of Whippoorwill Drive and southwest of West Broadway in the Sxwtpqyen Neighborhoods Planning Area.
The purpose of this floodplain development permit is to ensure the proposed excavation and channel work complies with the floodplain regulations, which are designed to promote public health, safety and general welfare while minimizing flood-related risks and losses in areas subject to flood hazards and promoting wise use of the floodplain.
The project aims to begin work on realignment of this section of Grant Creek, enhancing floodplain function, restoring channel sinuosity and promoting water quality. This specific permit is intended to allow the contractor to begin excavating the proposed floodplain and channel to ensure the project is completed prior to deadlines for available funding.
There are future processes that will need to be completed, such as a Conditional Letter of Map Amendment (CLOMR) from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that will include additional permit(s) and public participation.
The full application is available for review in the PDS office at 127 E. Main St., Suite 2, in Missoula or online here. Written comments will be accepted through Monday, May 5. Address comments to: Matt Heimel, Floodplain Administrator, Planning, Development & Sustainability, 200 W. Broadway, Missoula, MT 59802. Contact floodplain@missoulacounty.us or 406-258-4657 for more information.
The primary purpose of a floodplain development is to promote the public health, safety and general welfare, to minimize flood losses in areas subject to flood hazards, and to promote wise use of the floodplain.
Missoula County cannot approve a floodplain permit implementing a physical change to the floodplain prior to issuance of a CLOMR by FEMA. That document will be a FEMA letter of approval for a proposed physical change that when completed would propose to change the flood zones, delineation of elevations on the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map or FEMA Flood Boundary Map and may amend the FEMA Flood Insurance Study.
The project with this permit is designed to not implement the physical change or include a hydrological connection between the existing channel and proposed new channel. Additional reviews will be necessary as the Grant Creek restoration efforts continue.
Project Timeline:
Public Comment Period: Open through Monday, May 5. The public is invited and encouraged to provide comments and questions for the administrative permit review.
Permit Review Process: Once the application is deemed complete and correct, the floodplain administrator will review the project and determine whether to approve, approve with conditions or deny the permit within 180 days.

Frenchtown Storage — Buildings for Lease or Rent
Share Frenchtown Storage — Buildings for Lease or Rent on Facebook Share Frenchtown Storage — Buildings for Lease or Rent on Twitter Share Frenchtown Storage — Buildings for Lease or Rent on Linkedin Email Frenchtown Storage — Buildings for Lease or Rent linkOn Thursday, May 1, the Missoula County Commissioners voted 2-1 to approve this proposal. This was a legal land-use decision. Montana’s “build and lease” law applies to developments that don’t require utility services like water or sewer. Since the property is also unzoned, the County does not have authority to prevent this type of use.
Residents adjacent to the property have 30 days to appeal the decision. Conditions of approval include fencing or landscaping, signage for the nearby public path and lighting compliance. The development cannot operate 24/7 and will use gravel driveways for large-vehicle access.
UPDATE: Public Hearing Postponed for Thursday, May 1. New BFLR Application available.
Project Description:Request from developer Al Arneson, being represented by PCI, Inc., to construct eight storage buildings with varying unit sizes, some designed to accommodate RV and boat storage on the 5.05-acre parcel. The buildings run north to south to maximize the size of the property. A fence will be placed around the property for privacy screening and to prevent trespassing.
Project Summary
The Frenchtown Storage project proposes construction of eight self-storage buildings on a 5.05-acre parcel at 15601 Roman Creek Road, at the southwest corner of Roman Creek Road and Frenchtown Frontage Road. The developers claim this development is designed to meet the growing demand for storage in the Frenchtown area, particularly for RV and boat storage, as the region experiences commercial and industrial expansion. The developer plans to comply with dark skies lighting standards, perimeter landscaping along Roman Creek Road for aesthetics and the facility will not be open 24/7.
The site will feature:
• 71,230 square feet of storage space across multiple buildings.
• Pull-through units in Building 1 to accommodate large vehicles such as RVs and boats.
• Automated gated entry for secure self-access.
• Gravel driveways with ample space for maneuvering large vehicles.
• Security fencing and on-site lighting for safety and theft prevention.
Infrastructure and Environmental Considerations
• Stormwater management: Designed to handle a 100-year storm event, with detention areas on the east and west sides of the property and a culvert to manage water flow.
• Land Use and site impact: The property is currently vacant and requires grading, but no significant environmental impacts are anticipated. No wildlife habitats were identified on the site.
• Traffic and access: The property will use an existing curb cut on Roman Creek Road for entry, with an additional northern access point for redundancy. Driveways will be unpaved, and bollards will be installed for unit protection. A public pedestrian easement on the east property line will remain unaffected.
Project Timeline:
Public Input: The project team seeks comments and questions from adjacent property owners and the broader community.
Final Approval: The Board of County Commissioners at a public meeting scheduled for 2 p.m., Thursday, May 1, in the Sophie Moiese Room of the Missoula County Courthouse Annex, 200 West Broadway. The original meeting was scheduled for Thursday, April 10, but was postponed.
Engagement Methods: Comments or questions can be submitted on here on Missoula County Voice; or community members can provide input via by attending in person or may attend the meeting virtually over Microsoft Teams.
