Planner Ryan Nunn told the commission the phase is consistent with the annexation and the previously approved development agreement and R-4 zoning. The phase comprises 49 for-sale townhome units to be managed by an HOA; the applicant indicated parcel D adjacent to the site would likely remain with the property and not be dedicated to the city. Nunn recommended approval \"subject to the TRC memo, engineering memo and staff report\" and noted building permits would not be issued until final plat recording.

Applicant Travis Taylor and representatives described the project and told commissioners they had negotiated the development agreement during annexation. Nunn and others noted the agreement's wording around exterior materials is broader than typical city code: the development agreement describes exterior cladding as a combination of masonry, EIFS (with a 25% maximum) and \"siding\" to be agreed by site plan review.

Commissioner Green led questions pressing the difference between the city's building-material code (which names hardy board, stone or brick, for example) and language in the development agreement that allowed sidings. \"How beholden are we to the development agreement over city code?\" Green asked. Staff responded that the development agreement controls for the parcels covered because it was adopted as part of the legislative rezone and annexation process, and where the agreement specifies a standard it supersedes the default code for that site.

Commissioners and the applicant debated durability, warranty and aesthetic trade-offs for siding options. Commissioner Neighbour and others said they preferred masonry-like materials for long-term durability, while the applicant said more durable, higher-grade siding products are available today and that the market economics played into negotiated concessions in the development agreement. The applicant offered to provide material specifications for staff review.

After discussion, the commission voted to approve the site plan on the conditions in the staff report with one change: the planning commission removed a staff condition that required replacing any vinyl siding with specific materials (hardy-board, composite, stone or brick) and instead directed that, if siding is used as proposed, the quality/specification of that siding be submitted and approved by staff. The motion also asked that the project's renderings and the proposed vertical/horizontal siding configuration be followed for this phase.

The commission also required completion of an updated landscaping plan to meet required shrub counts and asked the applicant to show street-light locations at key intersections as recommended by the city engineer. Commissioners Bailey, Neighbour, Green, Gardner and Webb each voted \"yes.\"

The applicant and staff agreed the developer will provide siding product specifications and warranty information to staff for administrative review; if staff cannot reach a determination, the matter will return to the commission. Nunn reiterated that final plat approval and standard engineering sign-offs are still required before any building permits are issued.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Commission Meeting - June 18, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The North Ogden City Planning Commission unanimously approved preliminary plat and site plan for Orchard Bend at North Ogden Phase 1, a 49-unit, for-sale townhome development on Washington Boulevard, after a debate about allowable siding in the project's development agreement.","taxTitle","North Ogden City Planning Commission, North Ogden , Weber County, Utah","taxId",67062,"location","Utah","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6514559,"Planning Commission approves preliminary plat for Northview Estates Phase 10, 37 lots on hillside",1018,248000,1266000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5028863-9539c46aefd3659cb7f26da0d10504a3&start=248&end=1266","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5028863-9539c46aefd3659cb7f26da0d10504a3/thumbnail_248000.jpg","/articles/6514559/Utah/Planning-Commission-approves-preliminary-plat-for-Northview-Estates-Phase-10-37-lots-on-hillside","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6514559-b2a628214f837fcbaf0513e1c24bb6fb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161389&Signature=TdlhMO2~V041o5TbIvm496W6oYEX2aYsmKd0LxHoLg7CxL7OdogASLzKGSnYUA4Jn-4S2qHGooGwDD3Lfs5cRcA0WdGv4QRJLeAr6sXzK8Y4gUvuc1TobL979QR4VJjf10EOffxDFhKkHEBwJFjmr8aKjBvybKzhLkfNqdvAz0BBR7QL94krljcWyp-IYxSYl6Cjo5v57R0sUdwfN7kJR-XSTV2byhvvXQ1yTEb4LTluJJwx3ts8CTnzkHkJL6iztu9ujRb-KqZ1XPfjk74ieKdTNIeA5S5IQLgum9h94ZPb0ZvXfVPBEQaBHDx1DuzcBlmOI-JQ670nJcJV1raFkA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Ogden City Planning Commission on an administrative vote approved the preliminary plat for Northview Estates Phase 10, a 37-lot subdivision located near 4100 North and 600 East on the hillside above Mountain Road.

City planner Scott Hess presented the application and recommended preliminary plat approval \"subject to the conditions from the engineer's report, technical review committee memo, and conditions noted in the staff report.\" Hess told commissioners staff wants the owner's dedication language corrected to reflect existing parcels and that, before final plat, each hillside lot should show a setback/buildable box to confirm feasible building locations.

Applicant representative Cecil Satterthwaite told the commission the developer will add the requested building envelopes. \"I think that's a good idea. So we'll have our engineers do that,\" Satterthwaite said, adding the builder intends to terrace the hillside by installing retaining walls first so lots are sold largely finished and more uniform.

Commissioners discussed cul-de-sac lengths, frontage measurements and snow storage for the upper lots. City staff said building permits will not be issued until the final subdivision plat is recorded and that standard engineering and TRC (technical review committee) conditions apply.

A motion to approve the preliminary plat \"subject to the conditions in the engineer's report, the technical review committee memo, and conditions noted in the staff report,\" and to require building footprints/setback boxes to be shown on the final plat with administration of that detail delegated to staff, passed unanimously. Commissioners Bailey, Neighbour, Green, Gardner and Webb each voted \"yes.\"

The staff report also noted an administrative cleanup: the owner's dedication contains references to parcel labels that no longer exist (an apparent holdover) and must be corrected on the plat notes before final action.

The commission's approval is for preliminary plat only; final plat approval and final engineering remain subject to the standard conditions identified in the TRC and staff memos.

Plans for the phase include two cul-de-sacs and multiple retaining walls given the elevation gain from Mountain Road up toward Sundial; staff asked that the final plat indicate buildable boxes on those steeper lots to avoid constrained building envelopes caused by walls or side slopes.","The North Ogden City Planning Commission unanimously approved preliminary plat for Northview Estates Phase 10, a 37-lot subdivision near Mountain Road, with conditions including correction of owner's dedication notes and showing building setback/buildable boxes prior to final plat.","actionData","errors"]
