In a recent meeting of the Custer County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), discussions centered around a potential land sale that could impact local property dynamics. The property in question is a 33-acre parcel, with a neighboring owner expressing interest in purchasing either a portion or the entirety of the land.

The conversation highlighted the complexities of the sale, including the need for planning and zoning approval. The commissioners acknowledged that the land has been owned by the county for an extended period, but the specific reasons for its acquisition remain unclear. The interested party seeks access to the land, which is currently bordered by several other properties, and the commissioners noted that the existing fence may already delineate the area of interest.

While the neighboring owner is not in a rush to finalize the purchase, the commissioners agreed to gather more information about the specific area the owner wishes to acquire. They plan to present this matter to the planning and zoning commission, which will be crucial in determining the next steps. The commissioners also discussed the possibility of subdividing the land, but expressed concerns about the implications of doing so before a sale.

The next meeting of the planning and zoning commission is scheduled for October, where further discussions will take place. The outcome of this meeting could shape the future of the property and its use, reflecting the ongoing dialogue about land management and community development in Custer County. As the commissioners prepare to navigate this process, they remain committed to ensuring that any decisions made will serve the best interests of the community.
