Commission members said the shed could be within inches or a few feet of the property line and may not meet the town’s five-foot side setback and ten-foot distance from the main building required for accessory structures. Commissioners also raised a safety concern: the shed may obstruct drivers’ or homeowners’ view of pedestrians and children as vehicles enter the driveway, potentially conflicting with the ordinance’s 25-foot line-of-sight standard for intersecting driveways.

The planning commission reviewed language in the municipal ordinance cited in the discussion (multiple references to sections read aloud, including “municipal ordinance 2-5-2.3” and related setback and notice-of-violation sections). Commissioners noted the town’s notice-of-violation language appears to require a specific correction date 14 days from the date of service. Several commissioners said 14 days is too short for moving or adjusting a prebuilt shed; one commissioner said, “14 days to fix it just seems a little short.” Commissioners remarked that in a prior, similar case the attorney’s involvement and subsequent letter gave 30 days.

The commission debated procedure: whether the planning commission or the Town Council issues and signs notices of violation. The ordinance language in the packet includes a line indicating the planning commission chairman’s signature on notices, but commissioners said past practice sometimes showed the mayor or council executing such letters. Commissioners expressed concern that the ordinance’s language is unclear about roles and appeal and enforcement timing.

Action and next steps recorded in the meeting: commissioners agreed they would not try to take enforcement action themselves at that meeting. Instead, they asked that the item be included in the Town Council report and recommended that the council address the complaint and clarify the ordinance. Kristen, a Town Council member present or reachable through the commission, was asked to carry the item to council; commissioners also proposed revising the ordinance’s notice-of-violation language to allow a longer cure period (30 days from certified receipt was discussed) and to clarify whether notice must be delivered by certified mail or may be hand-delivered with a signed receipt.

Commissioners also discussed process constraints: adding new items to the council agenda requires 24-hour public notice, so the commission planned to include the complaint in the regular council report rather than add a last-minute agenda item. Staff and commissioners agreed to clean up the ordinance language and to present a recommended approach to the Town Council for its final action.","mediaType","Audio","parentTitle","Cleveland Town Planning & Zoning Commission Recorded Minutes for 7/02/2025 - 07022025","oneSentenceSummary","The Cleveland Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed a complaint that a neighbor’s prebuilt shed may be on or over the property line and discussed unclear town procedures for issuing notices of violation.","taxTitle","Cleveland, Emery County, Utah","taxId",79946,"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},6656620,"Commission clears two shipping containers for temporary use during build at 55 West 40 North",160,810000,970000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5132511-af1c602fc05c5bfe82537964b6476890&start=810&end=970","/articles/6656620/Utah/Commission-clears-two-shipping-containers-for-temporary-use-during-build-at-55-West-40-North","The Cleveland Planning and Zoning Commission approved zoning clearance for two shipping containers to be placed temporarily at 55 West 40 North to hold household goods while the owner builds a new home.

Alyssa presented on behalf of her father, Richard Olsen, explaining the containers are 8 by 40 feet each, 9 feet 6 inches tall, and will be placed behind the future home on the lot. Commission members reviewed a plot drawing showing the containers set back five feet from the side and rear property lines and located behind the front of the future house. The commission found the proposed placement meets the town’s setback requirements for accessory structures.

Staff said they had checked with the building department and were told no building permit is required to place shipping containers (the containers are being stored, not used as a habitable structure). Commissioners approved the zoning clearance and asked staff to obtain the owner’s signature for the file the next time he is in town; staff said they would make a copy of the paperwork and accept the signed form later.

The approval included a condition that the containers conform to the setbacks shown on the submitted plot drawing. Commissioners also discussed methods for ensuring the applicant receives the required paperwork and signed acknowledgement for the file.","Planning and Zoning approved zoning clearance for two shipping containers to remain on a vacant lot while the owner builds a home; staff said no building permit is required for placing containers on the lot.",{"_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},6656623,"Planning commission approves accessory building permit for Bart and Shannon",286,327000,613000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5132511-af1c602fc05c5bfe82537964b6476890&start=327&end=613","/articles/6656623/Utah/Planning-commission-approves-accessory-building-permit-for-Bart-and-Shannon","The Cleveland Planning and Zoning Commission approved a building permit for property owners Bart and Shannon for an accessory building after reviewing setbacks and height during its July 2 meeting.

Commissioners examined submitted drawings and measurements, confirmed the accessory structure meets minimum height and setback standards, and voted to approve the permit. The commission instructed staff to prepare and copy the signed permit documents for the applicants.

The applicants presented a drawing showing a proposed accessory building approximately 30 feet long. Commission members confirmed the structure’s height will be 9 feet, which exceeds the 8-foot minimum. They noted the accessory building will sit about 44–45 feet from the main building and well beyond the required 5-foot side and rear setbacks. Commissioners also discussed the building’s distance from a nearby school fence and from the road; staff and applicants referenced a Google Earth estimate that placed the front setback at roughly 40 feet from the road.

Logan moved to approve the building permit; Tyler seconded the motion, and commissioners voted in favor. After approval, staff said they would have applicants sign permit paperwork and provide copies for the file.","The Cleveland Planning and Zoning Commission approved a building permit for an accessory building (add-on) for property owners Bart and Shannon after confirming setbacks and height meet code requirements.",{"_33":96,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":97,"_41":98,"_43":99,"_45":100,"_47":101,"_49":50,"_51":102,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":103,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":104,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6656628,"Planning commission approves mobile smoked-meat business license for Dale Hulse",134,107000,241000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5132511-af1c602fc05c5bfe82537964b6476890&start=107&end=241","/articles/6656628/Utah/Planning-commission-approves-mobile-smoked-meat-business-license-for-Dale-Hulse","The Cleveland Planning and Zoning Commission approved a business license for applicant Dale Hulse to operate a mobile smoked-meat business during its July 2 meeting.

The action clears Hulse to seek final licensing from the Town Council; commissioners discussed zoning and administrative next steps and asked the applicant to bring required zoning paperwork to the council meeting the following night.

Commission members noted Hulse’s operation is mobile and that his house will serve only as a delivery address, not a customer-facing location. Chair (K.) confirmed the commission does not expect on-site customer parking or permanent signage at the house. Hulse told the commission that deliveries and supply drops will use his home address and that he will set up at off-site locations when operating.

A motion to approve the business license was made and seconded; commissioners voted in favor and the motion passed. The commission asked Hulse to complete the zoning portion of the license form and to attend the Town Council meeting the following evening, where the council will complete the licensing process. Staff said the commission will hold the submitted paperwork until the applicant appears before the council.

The approval was procedural: the commission verified that the business is mobile, that the house will function only as an administrative/delivery address, and that no on-site retail or customer service at the residence was planned. The commission did not impose additional conditions in the meeting record.

The applicant will appear before the Town Council the next night for final licensing action. The commission’s file will include the zoning form and copies of the submitted application.","The Cleveland Planning and Zoning Commission approved a business license for applicant Dale Hulse to operate a mobile smoked-meat business; the applicant must complete the zoning form and appear before the town council at its next meeting.","actionData","errors"]
