Give us your feedback on the floodplain development permit application
This new parking lot is located partially in the floodplain. The Missoula County Planning, Development and Sustainability Department is reviewing a floodplain development permit application from the Missoula County Public Works Department for work within the Clark Fork River floodplain. Public Works’ contractor will pave, grade, place fill and add the river access trail in this floodplain.
The primary purpose of the floodplain development permit is to promote public health, safety and general welfare, minimize flood losses in areas subject to flood hazards and promote wise use of the floodplain.
The comment period for the floodplain development permit application closed on Friday, Feb. 10. Staff from the Planning, Development and Sustainability Office approved the floodplain development permit application. View the approval in the documents.
JAG Grading and Paving completed construction on the new parking lot across from Edgewood Drive on Hwy 200 in East Missoula, near the Sha-Ron Fishing Access site in June, and the lot is now open for river users.
On June 8, the commissioners also approved a 'no parking' resolution along Highway 200 near this parking access site.
