This is a request from Woith Engineering, Inc., representing Forlorn Hope, LLC, c/o Jack McInerney, to use the Relocation of Common Boundaries Exemption for property located at 17775 Mullan Road, commonly known as the King Ranch Golf Course (Certificate of Survey #4772). The property is located southwest of the Frenchtown interchange and is composed of 12 tracts of record encompassing approximately 243 acres. The boundary line relocation will result in ten smaller residential tracts adjacent to Mullan Road intended for five duplexes each with a shared driveway, a 2 acre tract to add more commercial activity with a residential component to the golf course, and the existing golf course on the remaining 239 acres. The residential tracts are designed to integrate with the golf course, with rear yards abutting onto golf course land. All tracts involved are unzoned, and floodplain designations for the property include Zone A, AE (100-Year Floodway and 100-Year Flood-fringe) and Shaded-X (100/500 Year). If the boundary line relocation is approved, all tracts will be located outside of any designated floodplain, with the exception of the golf course.
The staff evaluation of the evasion criteria for the boundary line relocation concludes that the proposed exemption is not an attempt to evade subdivision review; therefore, staff recommends approval of this exemption request. The Board of County Commissioner will conduct a public hearing for this request at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 9, 2023, in the Sophie Moiese Room of the Missoula County Courthouse Annex, 200 W. Broadway, Missoula, or via Microsoft Teams. Find the meeting link at https://missoula.co/bccpublicmeeting2. To join on your phone, call (406) 258-4824 and use Conference ID 863 449 384#. Please contact Missoula County at (406) 258-4657 or by email at pds@missoulacounty.us if you have any questions about joining the meeting.
Parcel History
In October 1990 the Missoula Board of County Commissioners approved a three-phase subdivision of a portion of the Bud King Ranch along the north and south sides of Mullan Road west of the Frenchtown interchange. The subdivision divided 27 acres into 36 residential lots and a nine-acre common area. The remaining portion of the ranch was approved for golf course development – shown in yellow at right. This is the area currently under consideration for a boundary line relocation.

Golf Course (shown in yellow)Growth Policy
The proposed division will result in residential development in an area designated for Open and Resource Land use. The overall density of the proposed boundary line relocation is one dwelling per 28 acres; the Open and Resource designation recommends one dwelling per 40 acres. The property is also within the Frenchtown Activity Circle. Activity Circles were established around Missoula County communities in the 1975 Comprehensive Plan and Policy Guide for Urban Growth with the purpose of reinforcing important community focal points thus minimizing expenditure for capital facilities. “Local commercial areas have been shown abstractly by activity circles to allow flexibility in establishing local commercial centers in areas not now (1975) developed sufficiently enough to indicate actual locations.” (1975 Missoula County Comprehensive Plan).
