HILL, Justice
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
¶18] I concur in the majority's decision to reverse so that the Board of County Commissioners can create a record. I dissent because I am convinced that a contested case hearing may be required, although a more informal resolution of this matter is still a possibility. The current condition of the ree-ord is such that we know only that the Board voted to deny the subdivision permit. Upon careful consideration of all the facts and circumstances, the Board may yet grant the permit. However, prior to any hearing, I believe Gold is entitled to a formal notice of the deficiencies in his application, an opportunity to correct them, and if the Board still votes to deny the permit, then it must inform Gold upon what the basis of its decision rests, as well as all the facts and cireum-stances that justify its decision. Such a process would then allow both the district court and this Court an opportunity to meaningfully review that decision.
