The Snyderville Basin Planning Commission meeting on May 28, 2024, focused on a land use determination regarding a greenhouse project, with significant discussions surrounding discrepancies in the staff report and a stop work order issued for the site.
Forrest Seaman, a representative from DFS Construction, addressed the commission, highlighting inaccuracies in the staff report related to the greenhouse application. He explained that a stop work order was issued due to issues with water rights equipment, which he clarified was not related to the construction itself. Seaman emphasized the importance of accurate documentation, noting that all necessary reports and applications had been submitted to the county.
The commission facilitated a discussion to ensure both public input and clarity on the project's timeline. Seaman pointed out that confusion arose regarding the dates of the stop work order, which he clarified was issued in mid-September, not on the date initially reported.
The commission's goal was to guide the conversation towards understanding existing codes and regulations while assisting the applicant in navigating the approval process. The meeting underscored the importance of clear communication and accurate reporting in land use determinations, as well as the collaborative effort between the commission, the applicant, and the public to address concerns effectively.
Next steps will likely involve further review of the submitted documents and continued dialogue to resolve outstanding issues related to the greenhouse project.
