The existing master plan language requires the traffic signal to be installed before the phase‑3 plat can be recorded. The amendment under consideration would permit the phase‑3 plat to be recorded earlier, but would require that the traffic signal be installed before any certificate of occupancy (C of O) is issued for phase‑3 units. Planning staff and representatives of UDOT told the council the traffic signal bid would go out soon and construction would start this year, with completion likely stretching into next year.

Staff emphasized that under either the existing or proposed language, no units in phase 3 would be occupied prior to the traffic signal being installed; the proposed change would instead allow plat recording and potential sale of units before occupancy is allowed. Jeff (project representative, remote) and UDOT project manager Craig Hancock were reported to be comfortable with the proposed language, but Jeff asked the council to consider adding language to ensure the new road connection would not be opened to general traffic until the signal was in place. The council discussed whether any construction or limited use of the connection should be restricted while the intersection upgrades are underway.

Council members also discussed cost-sharing language in the existing agreement that requires the developer to pay 50% of any city costs related to the signal installation. Several members asked staff to review the interlocal agreement and the exact terms — in particular what items the developer would be charged for and whether the city previously paid for certain elements. Staff said the interlocal with UDOT was in place and that Midway City has paid components toward the signal; councilmembers asked staff to provide a contract-level review before finalizing cost-related language.

No final council vote on the South Hill amendment was recorded in the provided transcript excerpt. Staff characterized the proposed change as a legislative action with discretion for the council, and noted potential conditions and findings to consider. Council members asked staff to refine language options to address: (1) whether recorded plats should be allowed before road connections are completed; and (2) how to ensure the traffic-signal installation and any temporary construction access do not create unsafe conditions prior to signal completion.

Because the discussion included potential traffic and safety implications, staff and councilmembers requested follow-up information from UDOT and a contract review of cost-sharing provisions prior to any final action.","mediaType","Audio","parentTitle","Midway City Council Regular Meeting - Council - 20250520 - Regular - Audio - Part 3","oneSentenceSummary","Council discussion focused on a proposed change to the South Hill PUD master plan that would allow the phase-3 plat to be recorded before installation of a traffic signal at Main Street and River Road, while still requiring the signal to be installed before any certificate of occupancy for phase 3 units.","taxTitle","Midway, Wasatch County, Utah","taxId",68985,"location","Utah","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":50,"_51":82,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":83,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":84,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6534963,"Council approves Homestead Resort master-plan amendment and related plat changes; spa access, maintenance building location adjusted",1501,1563895,3065880,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3445763-25a61af2f11b8efef68dcab45d74010c&start=1563&end=3065","/articles/6534963/Utah/Council-approves-Homestead-Resort-master-plan-amendment-and-related-plat-changes-spa-access-maintenance-building-location-adjusted","The Midway City Council voted to approve Resolution 2025-11, adopting the third amendment to the Homestead Resort master plan, and then approved multiple plat amendments that implement the master-plan changes.

City planning staff described the Homestead property as roughly 72 acres in the resort (RC) zone that currently includes about 26 hotel rooms, roughly 68 condominium units under building permits, five single-family dwellings and several cottage units. The amendment relocates the proposed maintenance and cart-storage building from one approved location to another inside the resort core, swaps designated open-space polygons so the total open-space acreage remains unchanged at 10.53 acres, and allows a small (up to 10‑stall) parking lot to serve a proposed spa accessed from Pine Canyon Road.

Staff said the relocation moves the maintenance/cart-storage building to a slightly lower, more screened location that the applicant and staff believe will be less visible to neighboring property owners once landscaping and partial grading are installed. The change also frees the existing maintenance building location for a future, unspecified use; staff said any future use there would require separate planning review.

Planning staff said two neighborhood meetings were held and notices were mailed to property owners within 600 feet; staff reported mostly questions and a small number of phone calls but no large-scale opposition. One nearby property owner raised concerns about visibility and access; staff said the owner had been engaged in pre-meeting discussions with staff and the applicant and did not appear at the council hearing.

Conditions recommended by the planning commission and accepted by council include limiting spa parking to 10 spaces, installing landscaping north of Fairway Drive to discourage unauthorized through trips onto private roads in the Links, and recording the amended plats to reflect new lot lines and easements. Staff also noted the resort property contains sensitive lands including a crater, wetlands and FEMA floodplain; those constraints were part of project review.

On the plat amendments, staff explained that three previously recorded plats will be amended: Homestead Resort Plat Lot 3, Open Space Lot B, and Homestead Hotel Condominiums Lot 2. Amendments will adjust lot lines, depict common areas and limited common areas, and show easements necessary for access and utility maintenance. The city requires that any plat amendment be recorded within one year of council approval; applicants may request up to three one‑year extensions at the council’s discretion.

Council members discussed visibility, the proposed “burying” of the maintenance building into the hillside, the limited spa parking to minimize traffic from Pine Canyon Road, and how deliveries and service vehicles would be routed through existing resort delivery points rather than via Pine Canyon. The applicants said Marriott programming for the spa was not yet finalized but that the spa is expected to primarily serve resort guests arriving from the resort core; limited stalls would serve employees and occasional guests arriving from Pine Canyon.

The council approved the master plan amendment and the plat amendments in separate votes. Recorded votes in the transcript show unanimous approval among those present. Next steps include recording the amended plats and verifying required landscaping, easements and parking limits are reflected on recorded documents.","The council approved a third amendment to the Homestead Resort master plan and associated plat amendments, swapping open-space acreage inside the resort core, relocating a proposed maintenance/cart-storage building, and limiting spa parking to 10 stalls to reduce traffic impacts on Pine Canyon Road.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":50,"_51":92,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":93,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":94,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6534967,"Midway council approves plat amendment, conditional-use permit to allow condominiums at Midway Granary",1499,35700,1534929,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3445763-25a61af2f11b8efef68dcab45d74010c&start=35&end=1534","/articles/6534967/Utah/Midway-council-approves-plat-amendment-conditional-use-permit-to-allow-condominiums-at-Midway-Granary","The Midway City Council on a unanimous vote approved a plat amendment and a conditional-use permit that will let the Midway Granary at 695 East Main Street be sold as individual commercial and residential condominium units.

City planning staff said the proposal would not change the existing uses or reduce parking but would convert ownership from a single taxpayer identification number into individual units that can be sold. The building, described in Council materials as approximately one acre in the C-2 commercial zone, contains five ground-floor commercial units and 14 residential units.

Midway planning staff explained that the applicants, Russ Watts and James Hendricks, are seeking to “condominiumize” the property so each unit would have separate ownership and a separate tax ID. Staff said utilities and driveways would remain common areas and that maintenance and access would be handled through a property owners association (POA). The council’s approval was conditioned on recording the POA and CC&Rs prior to plat recording, removing a note referencing nightly rentals from the proposed plat, and recording and depicting easements needed for access and utility maintenance.

Staff noted that the development already operates under an existing conditional-use permit for mixed commercial and residential use; the current approvals would carry forward. The staff report also referenced Midway City Code section 16.0.50.20 as the standard that governs commercial and residential condominiums in the C-2 zone and said the requested change in ownership was consistent with previous approvals.

During public comment, a neighboring resident asked whether parts of the property would remain commercial and whether tenancy would change; staff and applicants confirmed the mixed-use layout would remain (five commercial units on the ground floor, 14 residential units overall). One commenter expressed concern that conversion to condos might lead to displacement of current renters; staff noted the property already lies within the city’s TROD (transient rental overlay/district), and that existing rental rules already applied. The applicants said they expect unit sizes to range from about 1,200 to 1,800 square feet with a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts and estimated pricing “3 to 4” (context: likely a shorthand used during the meeting; no specific price range was stated in the record).

Council members asked whether parking, lighting and access would change; staff said the use and parking counts would remain unchanged, lighting will comply with the city’s dark-sky policy, and easements for shared utilities and access will be shown on the amended plat. Council discussion also touched on HOA funding and required reserves; staff said state law requires an initial reserve and an approved HOA budget.

The council voted to approve the Midway Granary plat amendment and then approved the conditional-use permit with the conditions recommended by the planning commission. Recorded conditions include creation of the property owners association and CC&Rs before recording, compliance with the current lighting ordinance, and recording easements for utilities and access. The first note on the proposed plat referencing nightly rentals must be removed before recording.

The applicants said they have submitted draft CC&Rs for city review and that the applicants will assign parking stalls and manage shared parking through the HOA. The council closed public comment and approved the two items in separate motions to meet noticing requirements.

Votes at a glance: Plat amendment — approved (unanimous recorded “aye” votes); Conditional-use permit — approved (unanimous recorded “aye” votes). No abstentions or no-votes were recorded in the provided transcript.

What happens next: The applicants must record the amended plat with the required easements and CC&Rs and remove the nightly-rental note before recording. The recorded plat will reflect individual unit ownership and the shared common areas to be managed by the POA.","The Midway City Council approved a plat amendment and a conditional-use permit to convert the Midway Granary at 695 East Main Street from single ownership into mixed-use condominiums, preserving current uses while creating individual ownership and requiring a property owners association and recorded easements.","actionData","errors"]
