8. Consider Monroe Canyon Estates Subdivision Phase 1. Located at approximately 100 E 800 S. Submitted by SITLA.
Trevor Gadd is representing SITLA tonight. He first started by referring to the work meeting that city council, planning commissioners, public Utah health department and SITLA had concerning the proposed phase 1. He asked if what he was proposing was affected by the new wellhead protection zone ordinance? Commissioner Lee responded that yes, it does not allow new septic tanks to be installed in zone 3. Trevor asked if this was applicable to them where they applied before the change was made? Commissioner Lee told him that they have not officially applied for anything yet. Commissioner Lee also informed him that the ordinance change was posted before they had submitted anything to be on the planning commission agenda. Once that happens, anything submitted after it is posted must follow the new ordinance. Trevor confirmed that the subdivision request was not submitted before the ordinance change was posted on the agenda. Trevor asked if any of the property can be developed, which Commissioner Lee told him they can still do the 2-acre parcels in zone 4 with the upgraded septic tanks. Trevor asked that moving forward they would need to scrap any development in zone 3 in which Commissioner Dickinson confirmed and stated that the rules that were once in zone 3 would apply to zone 4. Commissioner Lee asked Trevor to relate the water drainage issues back to SITLA and find a solution for the problems discussed at the work meeting. He would like them to find a solution before they spend a lot of money developing lots. Commissioner Lee expressed his concern that water was running through the proposed property when they went and walked it at their work meeting, and he stressed that something needs to be figured out with the water before they move forward.
No vote was taken on this item.
9. Lot line adjustment located at approximately 387 E Monroe Canyon Road. Submitted by Pete Weimer.
Pete has proposed adjusting property lines to multiple parcels that he owns. He would like to be able to get clarification from the county on where his property ends on one parcel and then move forward with the line adjustments. He would like to straighten out the parcel lines and be able to have a parcel to build on in the future if wanted or needed. He has plenty of frontage and property with the lot line adjustments. Commissioner Lee told Pete he can move forward on getting a survey done and starting the process to adjust the property lines. Pete informed the commissioners that it probably will not happen for a few months but once the survey is completed, he will come back to the Planning Commission to get final recommendation approval. No other questions or comments were made.
10. Other Business.
Commissioners were updated on the Land Use Ordinance book online. They were shown how to find ordinances online and how to maneuver through the website. No other business was discussed.
11. Adjournment.
Commissioner Northrup made a motion to adjourn at 8:01 P.M. Seconded by Commissioner Barney. All were in favor. Motion passes 4-0.
