Conditional use permit passed for West Babbitt Development

The Babbitt City council ruled to accept a Conditional Use Permit pending legal review on Thursday in a special council session.

The CUP is for digging a ditch on an “un-developable” lot of land located close to the West Babbitt Development, with the city intending to sell the material obtained from the dig to Rachel Contracting.

The land is not able to be developed due to its proximity to a wastewater treatment plant. Rachel Contracting would use the material to continue developing the West Babbitt site. The city has previously ruled to sell the material for $3 per yard.
