Section 5-6 - Applications

(a) Forms. All applications to lease lands for special uses shall be made on forms furnished by the Office. Application forms must be completed in full, setting forth the location and estimated value of any and all improvements to be constructed on the leased area. Any false or incomplete statement willfully made that materially affects the application will be considered as fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation and shall be cause for the rejection of the application.

(b) Signature. If an application is signed by a party other than the applicant, the legal instrument authorizing such signature, i.e., power of attorney, letters of administration, letters testamentary, final decree of distribution, etc., together with the required filing fee must accompany the application.

(c) Filing periods.

  • (i) For land under an expiring lease, applications shall be accepted for a period of 90 days prior to the expiration of the lease. If the expiration date falls on Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, applications shall be accepted on the following workday. At least 90 days prior to the expiration of a lease, the Office shall mail a lease application form to the lessee or his authorized agent.

(d) Conflicting applications. If two or more applications to lease the same land for incompatible purposes are filed within the filing periods established in subsection (c) of this section, they shall be considered to be in conflict and shall be handled under the provisions of W.S. 36-3-102 and Chapter 2 of these rules.

(e) Legal Description. All applications for special use leases will require a legal description which identifies the property proposed for lease. At the discretion of the office, a legal survey and plat may be required identifying the location of all proposed improvements.

(f) Planning and Zoning Laws.

  • (i) The applicant shall include evidence with the application that all proposed uses within the proposed lease are in compliance with all applicable land use planning and zoning laws for the jurisdictions where the property is located; or
  • (ii) The Board may approve a lease application contingent upon the State's ability to acquire the necessary changes to the existing land use planning and zoning laws that will allow the intended uses on the state land within the lease.
