Weber County approves Buffalo Run Subdivision phases 2 and 3 infrastructure plans

The Weber County government meeting on July 19, 2023, focused on significant developments in local infrastructure and community planning, particularly the Buffalo Run Subdivision. The meeting highlighted the progress of phases 2 and 3 of this development, which are nearing final approval. The applicant, represented by Chad Buck, has already begun the installation of phase 1 infrastructure, indicating a commitment to advancing the project.

A key aspect of the proposal involves a right-of-way dedication along 4700 West Street, which will expand the right-of-way to 100 feet. This adjustment aligns with the county's transportation plans, although it falls short of the 20-foot right-of-way indicated in the new general plan for the area. The county's planning and engineering departments have determined that the additional space is not required for this development phase, allowing the project to proceed without further delays.

The meeting also addressed the completion of necessary annexations into the Central Weber Sewer District, ensuring that essential services are in place for the new subdivision. The approval process is moving forward, with the recommendation to finalize the subdivision plans for phases 2 and 3, contingent upon the submission of the final plat.

In addition to the Buffalo Run Subdivision, the meeting briefly touched on another subdivision proposal consisting of seven lots in the Powder Mountain Resort area. This project is also under consideration, reflecting ongoing efforts to enhance residential options in Weber County.

As these developments progress, they promise to impact local residents by expanding housing availability and improving infrastructure in the region. The county's commitment to thorough planning and community engagement remains evident as these projects move closer to realization.
