Broadwater County commissioners approved a familial boundary relocation exemption requested by the Robertson family affecting Sections 30 and 29, Township 9 North, Range 1 East (near Winston, Montana). The relocation places a driveway easement, waterline easement and a well on a parcel owned by Randy Robertson to cleanly locate infrastructure prior to property sale and estate settlement.

Nicole Brown, community development director and planner, summarized the staff report and the documents filed with the commission, including the proposed certificate of survey and an affidavit. Brown said the request is intended to put infrastructure and easements onto the parcel owned by Randy Robertson rather than leaving them split across family-owned parcels, a condition that can cause title and access complications if a parcel sells. Commissioners characterized the request as straightforward and moved and approved the boundary relocation exemption by voice vote.

No public opposition was voiced at the hearing and staff indicated the documents were posted online and that county staff would record the approved survey and related paperwork following the vote.
