Missoula County Floodplain Development Permit #25-02
Project Description:
The Missoula County Planning, Development & Sustainability Department (PDS) has received a floodplain development permit application from Allen and Theodora McKee for buried vehicle removal and bank restoration at 4022 South 3rd St. W. The project site, located in Parcel 1 of COS 6214 within Section 24, Township 13 North, Range 20 West, Missoula County, falls within the Clark Fork River regulated flood hazard area.
The purpose of this floodplain development permit is to ensure the proposed activities comply with 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 includes the removal of buried vehicles from the site and the restoration of the riverbank to reduce potential environmental hazards and improve floodplain stability.
Community members interested in reviewing the full application can do so at the PDS office (127 E. Main St., Suite 2, Missoula) or online here.
