West Pointe Subdivision CC&R, Condition and Trail Amendments

WGM Group, representing Circle H Investments LLC, is requesting to amend multiple exhibits of the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) of the West Pointe Subdivision, including the Trail and Landscape Master Plan, the Missoula Desirable Street Tree List and the Management Plan for Restoration of the Draw.

West Pointe Subdivision was originally approved by the Board of County Commissioners on May 23, 2001, subject to 32 conditions of approval. It was approved as a phased subdivision with Phase 1 filed in 2004 and Phases 2 & 3 combined into Phase 4 in 2018. Phases 4 & 5 (including a sub-phases) have a final plat submittal deadline of June 20, 2024. As part of the amended Trail Plan, the applicant is proposing to modify the locations and amount of trail types proposed from the approved 2006 Trail Plan. The overall total of trails within the development would be reduced from 6,598 linear feet to 5,734 linear feet. Of those totals, Class 1 trails would be reduced from 3,157 linear feet to 996 linear feet, Class 2 trails would be increased from 1,823 linear feet to 2,662 linear feet, and Class 3 trails would be increased from 1,618 linear feet to 2,076 linear feet. Additionally, the location of required picnic tables, play structures, rest areas/benches and fitness stations are proposed to be modified to more conductive topography. The changes to the Trail Plan will require revisions to the Management Plan for Restoration of the Draw including removal of trails within the steeper potions of the riparian area and additional native trees/shrubs added to the planting palette.

Six conditions of approval are affected by the proposed changes to the Trail Plan. The applicant is proposing minor changes to Conditions #10, #22, and #24; major changes to Conditions #14 and #16; and completely deleting Condition #32. The proposed language changes for each condition are identified within the submitted application.
