Staff said the Pine View board discussed the matter at a recent meeting and is willing to serve areas previously considered outside safe annexation boundaries as long as municipal or developer-built infrastructure is available. Staff described this as a potential relief to existing service \"pockets\" where water provision had been inconsistent historically and noted ongoing coordination on meter projects and right-of-way connections.

Why it matters: Extending service from a larger water provider could simplify future development patterns in parts of Harrisville where lack of water infrastructure had limited annexation or subdivision feasibility. Staff cautioned that final service agreements, meter installations and right-of-way work will be project-specific and require coordination with Pine View and other agencies.

Staff said infrastructure on the north side of Larson Lane is available for future connections to Oak Hollow and Warren Hollow areas, but developers or the city will need to complete the crossings and main extensions required for service. The city will continue technical discussions with Pine View and report back to the commission on specific development proposals.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Harrisville City Planning Commission April 9, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Harrisville staff told the planning commission that Pine View Water Services\\' board indicated willingness to provide water service to parts of Harrisville if developers or the city provide required infrastructure and connectivity, potentially reducing fragmented service pockets.","taxTitle","Harrisville Planning Commision, Harrisville , Weber County, Utah","taxId",21257,"location","Utah","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6274071,"Commission approves preliminary plat for Ben Lohman Views Phase 2D with conditions",2669,2127000,4796000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2994796-c27ec1d5f0aa51512b301688397e7424&start=2127&end=4796","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2994796-c27ec1d5f0aa51512b301688397e7424/thumbnail_2127000.jpg","/articles/6274071/Utah/Commission-approves-preliminary-plat-for-Ben-Lohman-Views-Phase-2D-with-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6274071-e6b157eb1583ea2278ac181aef2ead98/orig.mp4?Expires=1771055430&Signature=LAEKin5U4TA6xVwjPJVwzw~Tl8Q8IQFgk1XEcuC4vqe~n5kX0BTV1eIER35Y0JX~bmsQCNTKBFckYPa~0cZAyIfM~FRqOTaOBDcmcdCOCr6JSnek3oDZgrTVsrcWCHjxtTZnpANXcX33vzLFMWaLfDlhxmeHB3At0QTlJQ1yZvyBma4KMjEabDlCGMDUNSFeLteCJ3MnT9mSH-0bYr9T3NauLgkR09gMMFwKVTd14rxm6honXKrWj6AOQh64-2W6aKsbUZZLk9JlyXBpShetJml6-l-GU-7qkSt3DtJSimfYygfGwahpGKT~8uVMNxaHBMS6q57q0r8LQkHpU~Njmw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","HARRISVILLE, April 9, 2025 — The Harrisville Planning Commission approved the preliminary subdivision plat for Ben Lohman Views Phase 2D, allowing the developer to proceed with final plat submittal and permitting after meeting several conditions set by staff and the city engineer.

The commission\\'s approval covers a modified plan that converts previously planned duplex units in a wet-area portion of the overall project into single-family units moved into Phase 2D; staff said the overall project density does not increase because units were reallocated from an excluded development area in a floodplain. The approval is conditioned on the developer providing updated plats and documentation required by the city engineer, submitting a density transfer worksheet for the project, showing any necessary irrigation/access easements, and submitting final landscaping and site plans for a park now included in Phase 2D.

Why it matters: The approval advances a large residential phase near 1800 North/Highway 89 toward construction and clarifies outstanding technical items staff needs before final plat endorsement.

Details of the approval and conditions
- Units and density: Staff and the developer said the added 13 lots discussed for 2D were moved from a previously identified floodplain area; the overall development\\'s unit count remains unchanged. The developer described the Phase 2D homes as two-story, 3–4 bedroom units without basements given the local water table concerns.
- Engineering and agency deliverables: The commission made approval subject to the city engineer\\'s memo dated April 3, 2025, submission of any required \"will serve\" letters from outside utilities (water, sewer, fire), and final administrative approval of subdivision improvements drawings.
- Irrigation easement and access: Staff flagged an irrigation ditch that will require piping or a shown 20-foot maintenance/access easement; the commission required the easement notation or other resolution prior to final plat recording.
- Park and connectivity: A park parcel previously planned in an earlier phase was moved into Phase 2D. The commission required an updated landscaping and site plan for that park and asked the developer to show internal pedestrian connections and pathways linking units to surrounding sidewalks and regional trails where possible.

The motion approved the preliminary plat \"subject to the city engineer\\'s memo dated 04/03/2025, the irrigation access easement and density-transfer document, the landscaping and site plan for the park, and all other staff or agency comments.\" The motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.

Next steps: Developer to submit updated plat and engineering corrections, updated landscape plan for the new park parcel, density worksheet for each phase, and final agency approvals before the city issues final plat approval.","The Planning Commission granted preliminary subdivision plat approval for Ben Lohman Views Phase 2D at approximately 1800 North Highway 89, subject to engineer comments, a density-transfer exhibit, irrigation access easement, landscaping and park site plans, and other agency comments.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6274075,"Planning commission tables Ordinance 5-62 on housing affordability for further drafting",5554,464000,6018000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2994796-c27ec1d5f0aa51512b301688397e7424&start=464&end=6018","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2994796-c27ec1d5f0aa51512b301688397e7424/thumbnail_464000.jpg","/articles/6274075/Utah/Planning-commission-tables-Ordinance-5-62-on-housing-affordability-for-further-drafting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6274075-7c3b54cf8d276384f8b0185c93edfd88/orig.mp4?Expires=1771055430&Signature=MCVHr~4f~yxbxa6TVvHS8yMtlnx9PwRpNxo-PtvGJMt-iod1EOauQKu7XFGfdqkQ-jbadnO6qhQZAEcrZoeAWbpUOP~7ohhRa8BwH2OBi1GEa3c2p9bvujE8LTkG1WV000hx0k2aRsb9Y6ENr~6YqIgs1lqjz8t1umvpnCZJ9qpccsKiJqdtfviHuHTJpn14NWabImG8F8zdzX-zaVKU9iGUoRQNy0QoDrRMicvrBQk0XX2bstIIoGVIKdbYlnBeheZREjGlrtWrlJOcDZFHAYGwY8S2fFWrAgWEIhN1-Y67af~mofXDTiItNEweMPw1SoHGThWy36jwymb9GJ~bsA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","HARRISVILLE, April 9, 2025 — The Harrisville Planning Commission voted to table Ordinance 5-62, the city\\'s proposed housing-affordability ordinance, after an extended discussion about how to define affordability, what design standards the city should require, and how to balance developer viability with the ordinance\\'s pricing limits.

Commissioners and staff said they want the ordinance to use the affordability definition in House Bill 37 (area median income for the county), but disagreed about how many units in a project should be deed-restricted at specific AMI bands. Commissioners asked staff to return with recommended thresholds and clearer, implementable code language before the commission forwards a recommendation to city council.

Why it matters: Ordinance 5-62 would create a local mechanism to produce lower-priced single-family housing types — including so-called \"cottage homes\" — and could be used with development agreements to qualify projects under House Bill 37 strategies. Commissioners said language must be specific enough to guide developers yet flexible enough to keep projects financially viable.

Key points discussed included:
- Affordability metric: staff recommended adopting House Bill 37\\'s affordability definition tied to county area median income (AMI). Commissioners asked for scenarios showing how that metric would affect final sale prices in local market conditions. Staff provided an example calculation showing a median-based price that could be near $470,000–$480,000 given Weber County income assumptions used in the discussion.
- Unit mix and caps: commissioners debated whether to require a fixed percent of units at a single AMI band or a layered approach (for example, some units at 120% AMI, some at 140%, some at market). Several commissioners expressed concern that a single stringent cap could make developments infeasible.
- Design and quality standards: commissioners pushed for clear design standards so \"cottage home\" developments would contribute to the city\\'s character and not appear as overly dense, low-quality subdivisions. Topics included minimum lot area, allowable lot frontages, required open space or connectivity to larger parks and trail networks, and limits on driveway width/curb cuts.
- Implementation and exceptions: staff recommended ordinance language that describes city\\'s recommended standards but allows deviations when applicants justify them \"for compelling reasons,\" subject to public review. Commissioners asked staff to draft clearer code language that preserves discretionary review while reducing ad-hoc negotiation.
- Ownership priority and deed restrictions: commissioners discussed a proposed first-right period during which critical/essential workers and first-time homebuyers would have priority for units (proposed: 30 days). Commissioners confirmed deed restrictions would require owner occupancy and prohibit corporate purchasers during the restriction period.

The commission voted to table the ordinance to give staff time to run additional pricing scenarios, tighten recommended code language, draft explicit percentages or flexible ranges for how many units must meet specified AMI bands, and provide model design illustrations. The motion to table was seconded and carried by voice vote.","Harrisville Planning Commission on April 9 moved to table proposed Ordinance 5-62 (housing affordability) after commissioners and staff discussed design standards, affordability targets tied to House Bill 37, and implementation details including deed restrictions, first-right provisions and minimum acreage thresholds.","actionData","errors"]
