Highway 85 North annexation

Jorgensen argued applicants shouldn't be barred from offering new information when responding to questions, then gave a detailed history of the Highway 85 North annexations — including his family's 300-acre holdings and the Meyers, Ward, Gunderson, and Utke annexations — and raised concerns about Belle Fourche's no-septic zone boundary and differing soil and water conditions east of the creek.

Spring Creek Ranch co-owner said Option 2 (rural standards) makes sense — curb, gutter, and city water for a few 40-acre tracts just isn't feasible.

Owns a 46-acre highway-commercial parcel; said developers have waited years due to the agreement's stipulations and hopes things have now changed.
