O'Keefe Ranch Estates Subdivision - Landscaping Condition Amendment (Wye)
Project Description:
The developer of the O’Keefe Ranch Estates Subdivision, located in the Wye area of Missoula County, requests to amend Subdivision Condition of Approval #14 by proposing xeriscaping instead of seeded grass in the common area strips in Phase 3 of the subdivision. Section 6.7 of the Missoula County Subdivision Regulations allows the request for modest changes to the conditions of approval for a filed plat.
Xeriscaping is the practice of designing landscapes to reduce or eliminate the need for irrigation (aside from drip lines) and what the natural climate provides. The proposal will adhere to the approved landscaping guidelines in the regulations. This includes a 5-foot-wide asphalt path and commercial irrigation system in the 20-foot-wide common area strips, subject to review and approval by the Planning, Development and Sustainability and the Missoula County Department of Ecology and Extension departments.
O’Keefe Ranch Estates Subdivision was originally approved by county commissioners in 2005, subject to 27 conditions of approval. It was approved as an eight-phase subdivision with Phase 1 filed in 2022, Phase 2 filed in 2023, and Phase 3 filed in 2025. Phases 4-8 have final plat deadlines between 2028 and 2031.
