Kemosabe Subdivision Road Access Variance

The Board of Adjustments approved this access variance at their meeting on July 17, 2024.

Project Description:

Missoula County Department of Planning, Development & Sustainability (PDS) has received a variance request from Woith Engineering, who seeks to maintain and improve a driveway access to US Highway 93 S, located at 5115 Highway 93 S and is legally described as S02, T12 N, R20 W, TRACT 5 OF WORNATH ORCHARD TRACTS 12A1 & 12A2. The 3-acre parcel is zoned as CC (Commercial Center) and is currently occupied by a mechanic shop.  The proposed Kemosabe Subdivision on this and neighboring parcels to the north is intended to allow for the development of commercial condominiums. Section 6.2.B.3.b.i. of the Missoula County Zoning Regulations requires access to a corner lot to be from the street with the lower roadway classification, which in this case would be Blue Mountain Road, and not US 93 S.
