These are minutes of the Queenstown Planning Commission meeting on March 5, 2025. Richmond American Homes (Jeff Barba) gave a preview of the Wheatlands project, requesting a change to the phasing plat to two phases and saying the developer will omit commercial uses and build mostly residential units (minutes note townhomes with 24‑foot widths and 6‑unit configurations; price ranges listed: townhomes in the $500s, rear‑loaded single‑family in the low/mid $600s, edge lots in the $700s). The Nicholson/Clark subdivision on Wall Street was discussed; the planner will confirm square footage and critical‑area details and there was a question about a tree in front of a small dwelling. Town Manager updates: the Commission will acknowledge Phil Snyder at the March 12 meeting, the Commission is still seeking applicants to fill a vacancy, the town engineer has been tasked with a water/sewer study (noting rising costs), the town has met with Sunrise Solar about a municipal solar co‑op, and an ordinance for a $1.8 million bond for water improvements was introduced with a public hearing set for March 26 and USDA engineers reviewing plans. New business included a resident concern about Wall Street parking; the January 8, 2025 minutes were approved and the Queenstown Corridor Management Plan had no update; the meeting adjourned at 7:03 pm.
