Baack Minor Subdivision

UPDATE: On Thursday, June 23, 2022, the Missoula County commissioners approved the subdivision. This is now closed for comment.

Project Description:

Baack Subdivision is a proposed two (2) lot minor subdivision located approximately 1.25 miles south of Mullan Road off Council Way. The 5-acre parcel is owned by Matthew and Margaret Baack, who is represented by Montana Northwest Company. The parcel is currently developed with one (1) single family residence and two (2) detached outbuildings. The subdivision proposal includes two (2) lots for single family structures, including the existing residence. Development surrounding this subdivision is primarily residential and agricultural open space. Both lots are proposed to be served by City of Missoula sewer connections and are proposed to share the existing on-site well. Primary access to the subdivision is from proposed individual approaches off Council Way, a county maintained public roadway with a paved surface width of 26’. Conditions of approval include requiring residential fire sprinklers in all dwelling spaces and ensuring fire apparatus-friendly turnarounds, with both requirements being confirmed in the covenants. Other conditions include labeling all slopes over 25% and FEMA designated Floodplain as “no-build zones” on the face of the plat.
