There is also a planning commission (no zoning though) but they seem to be mostly responsible for large scale developments.

Since then, they have approved several lots for developers that provide precedent for me to request the variance in both setbacks and lot size.  

Can anyone give me a current update on their recent experience with Thom Garlock and Teton Land Development?

Columbus has been a great cash-flow market with properties in the $120–180K range still hitting the 1% rule, strong job growth, population growth, and massive company developments from Intel, Amazon, Google, and Honda.

The developer, Keaau Development Partnership, had mistakenly built on her land instead of the adjacent lot.

You have experience and skills in developing new structures.
