Council approves construction of new home for Alexandria Maher and family

Weber County officials have approved a new residential building project that will allow a local family to construct their home, including mother-in-law quarters, on their property. The decision was made during a recent administrative review meeting held on May 20, 2025, where the family expressed their eagerness to move forward after a lengthy delay caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The family, represented by Alexandria Maher, shared their journey of selling their previous home nearly three years ago with the intention of building a new one. They faced challenges during this period, including difficulties in securing their previous residence while managing rental payments. Despite these hurdles, they have remained committed to their goal, with their daughter taking the lead on the project.

The approval comes with specific conditions outlined in the staff report, which the family is expected to address as they proceed. The meeting concluded with a clear path forward, as officials encouraged the family to collaborate with their builder, Mr. Yaverino, to ensure all requirements are met.

This decision marks a significant step for the family, who are now poised to begin construction on their long-awaited home, reflecting the community's support for local development and family-oriented housing solutions.
