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

Placid View Lot Minor Subdivision
Share Placid View Lot Minor Subdivision on Facebook Share Placid View Lot Minor Subdivision on Twitter Share Placid View Lot Minor Subdivision on Linkedin Email Placid View Lot Minor Subdivision linkA request to vary from Missoula County Subdivision Regulations Section 3.3.2.4
Project Description:
Project Overview
Missoula County is considering a proposal to remove an agricultural restriction from a property near Placid Lake, allowing for residential development. This project, known as the Placid View Lot Minor Subdivision, also includes a request for a variance from the county's subdivision regulations regarding through lots. The Missoula County commissioners will review and make a decision on this request, with public input encouraged from nearby property owners.
What's being proposed?
Placid View is a one-lot minor subdivision near Placid Lake. The property is currently encumbered by a covenant that was placed on the property as part of a subdivision exemption in 2001. The covenant requires the property to be used exclusively for agricultural purposes. The applicants, David and Karen Castle, would like to remove the covenant so the property can be developed for a residential use.
Removing the covenant requires the property to go through local subdivision review and receive approval from the Missoula County commissioners. If approved, the agricultural restrictive covenant will be removed from the property, allowing for uses other than agriculture. No additional lots will be created through this subdivision request—this proposal is simply about making the land eligible for home construction while still following all relevant zoning, health and building regulations. Any future development will still be required to comply with those regulations.
The Castles are also applying for a variance from Section 3.3.2.4 of the Missoula County Subdivision Regulations to allow the proposed subdivision lot to vary from through-lot restrictions. Their property is currently bordered by two existing roads—North Placid Lake Road (to the south) and Placid Creek Road (to the north). This is considered a "through lot" (lots with roads on both sides) in the Missoula County Subdivision Regulations, which are prohibited except when they are essential to overcome specific disadvantages of topography or orientation, as determined by the county commissioners as a variance request.
Project Timeline:
Missoula County wants to hear from adjacent property owners before making a decision. If you have questions or concerns about this proposal, now is the time to voice them.
- Submit Comments: Residents can share their thoughts and questions by commenting on this post or contacting the project lead between now and the public hearing.

Attend the Public Hearing: The Missoula County commissioners will discuss and vote on this proposal 2 p.m. Thursday, March 13, in the Sophie Moiese Room of the Missoula County Courthouse Annex, 200 West Broadway.

One Mile Estates Minor Subdivision
Share One Mile Estates Minor Subdivision on Facebook Share One Mile Estates Minor Subdivision on Twitter Share One Mile Estates Minor Subdivision on Linkedin Email One Mile Estates Minor Subdivision linkProject Description:
The One Mile Estates Minor Subdivision proposes dividing a 14.06-acre parcel into five residential lots for single-family homes. The property is located just north of Interstate 90, near Frenchtown Frontage Road and Roman Creek Road, in an area with a mix of residential and agricultural land.
The land is currently vacant but has a history of prior subdivisions, including the Alexander Subdivision (approved in 2023) and the One Mile Ranch Subdivision (platted in 2019). The new lots will use an existing cul-de-sac road from the earlier development. Frenchtown High School is directly to the east, while the surrounding area includes a mix of existing and proposed homes, agricultural land and open space.
As part of the approval process, adjacent property owners are encouraged to provide feedback on the project. The goal is to ensure that community members have an opportunity to ask questions and share any concerns before a final decision is made.

The Missoula County Department of Planning, Development & Sustainability (PDS) has received a request from Habitat for Humanity, represented by IMEG, to subdivide a .22-acre tract in East Missoula into four residential lots.
The subdivider has requested a variance to allow two of the four lots to use the alley for legal access. All four lots will use a parking area located on Lot 3, next to the alley.
The property is located at 509-515 Speedway Ave., on the south side of the road near the intersection with Clyde Street. The property is legally described as COS #3917, Parcel 2, located in the S2 & SW4 SE4 S20, T14 N, R20 W, P.M.M., Missoula County.
Details on the subdivision request are available by contacting the PDS Office or online at http://missoula.co/governingbodyreviewpacket. Comments may be mailed to PDS, 200 W. Broadway, Missoula, MT, 59802 or emailed to jdixon@missoulacounty.us.
The commissioners must base their decision on the following review criteria, so comments related to these criteria are most useful. REVIEW CRITERIA FOR SUBMISSION REQUESTS
Findings of Fact
The staff recommendation on a subdivision request is made after consideration of the following findings of fact:
Compliance with zoning and the comprehensive plan;
Effects on agriculture and agricultural water user facilities, local services, the natural environment, wildlife and wildlife habitat, and public health and safety;
Compliance with survey requirements established in state statute, and local subdivision regulations and review procedures;
Provision of necessary easements; and,
Provision of legal and physical access.
The governing body (Board of County Commissioners) may require mitigation to minimize potentially significant adverse impacts without unreasonably restricting a landowner’s ability to develop the land. (Subdivision Regulations, Chapter 5.7.14.7)
When determining appropriate mitigation, the governing body shall consider: A) whether unmitigated impacts of a proposed development are unacceptable, precluding approval of the plat; and B) the expressed preference of the subdivider. (Subdivision Regulations Chapter 5.7.14.7)
Project Timeline:
The county commissioners will conduct a public hearing on this item on at 2 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 9.
