Laurie said FEMA staff will consider how these features are labeled on maps and that she asked the agency to correct any stream-name inconsistencies (Willow Creek was cited as an example).

Commissioner Jack and a technical speaker (water system modeler) discussed the limits of the FEMA materials and then described municipal water modeling for planning. The engineer explained that a water model uses elevation, pipe sizes and network nodes to estimate pressures and flows under different conditions, including fire-flow analyses. They noted that static pressure depends on elevation (2.31 feet of head equals 1 psi) and that tank surface elevation and tank height affect available pressure. They said that while model outputs are useful, many software packages use proprietary file types; the planning office might request a copy of a model from Johnson DeMille for future reference.

The commission also discussed recent high-intensity rainfall that caused basement flooding at one Main Street residence; staff and commissioners noted sandbagging and suggested property-level mitigation such as grading or a diversion ditch. Laurie said Chuck reviewed water-study materials and reported them sufficient for the current application and that questions remain about who will pay for needed road extensions.

Laurie announced that the planning department will post a public hearing for proposed sign regulations and lighting on Sept. 18 and asked commissioners to submit comments before then.

No formal action was taken on FEMA mapping; commissioners asked staff to follow up with FEMA and Johnson DeMille and to post the public hearing notice.","mediaType","Audio","parentTitle","Meeting Recording - September 3, 2025 recording","oneSentenceSummary","Staff reported FEMA has not prioritized Mona’s alluvial fans for study; commissioners and an engineer discussed water-modeling implications for future development.

McDonald said a small sliver of land near his property and another sliver between mapped lines appears to remain in Jewett County ownership; he was advised to request the county transfer the parcel to Mona City.

Planning staff told McDonald the next step is to request the county commissioners to deed the land to Mona City, after which he would submit engineering design plans for a subdivision (minor or major depending on scope). Staff and commissioners discussed that McDonald would be responsible for road construction and utility extension: full road construction (not half road) would likely be required in this area, and the property currently lacks water; sewer and water lines would need to be extended, possibly to Main Street or 3200 East, and could include significant cost for the developer.

Commissioners discussed additional complications: Wilkerson family properties adjacent to the site, earlier litigation in which a piece of road was deeded to the city, potential illegal subdivisions at the back end of lots, and the need for engineering drawings to determine setbacks, frontage and a 66-foot right-of-way (33-foot half-road standard may be used where applicable).

Staff encouraged McDonald to pursue the deed transfer with county commissioners (McDonald said he will be on the county agenda in October) and to prepare design plans for either a minor or major subdivision. No formal action was taken by the commission; staff will assist with next steps and advise on engineering and easement issues.","Commissioners advised property owner Mike McDonald to seek deed transfer from Jewett County for a small sliver of land and warned that full road and utility construction and water service would be required before development.",{"_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},6477206,"Commission discusses lot split options after owner seeks to divide property for stepson",235,769000,1004000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5712917-14267d49c4874342fe522c3b700b152f&start=769&end=1004","/articles/6477206/Utah/Commission-discusses-lot-split-options-after-owner-seeks-to-divide-property-for-stepson","Property owner Gordon asked the Mona City Planning and Zoning Commission on Sept. 3 about dividing a remaining parcel at a site on the city’s north side to provide a lot for his stepson to pursue a building permit. Gordon said he and co-owners had divided a building 18 months earlier and now seek to split an additional 0.57-acre remnant.

Commissioners and staff discussed the city ordinance that limits subdivisions and noted a state law also affects redividing parcels. Laurie said the options are to file for a major subdivision, which requires additional studies such as a water analysis (though not a UDOT traffic study for this site), or to explore amending the previous subdivision application. Staff said the major subdivision option carries higher fees and additional studies; the amendment route would require attorney review of process and precedent.

Laurie said she would contact the city attorney (Nick) and return with guidance. Staff suggested that Gordon could pursue a major subdivision as a backup if amendment is not possible. No formal action was taken; staff will consult the attorney and advise the applicant on which filing route to pursue.

Commissioners emphasized the ordinance’s intent to prevent serial small subdivisions but recognized this request relates to a family housing need. The commission asked staff to research whether an amendment to the prior filing is feasible and to report back.","A property owner requested guidance to split a previously divided parcel so a stepson can apply for a building permit; staff will consult the city attorney and advise next steps including major subdivision or amendment options.",{"_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},6477210,"Commission tables sign permit for 390 East 200 North amid code questions",1397,1923000,3320000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5712917-14267d49c4874342fe522c3b700b152f&start=1923&end=3320","/articles/6477210/Utah/Commission-tables-sign-permit-for-390-East-200-North-amid-code-questions","The Mona City Planning and Zoning Commission on Sept. 3 voted to table a sign-permit application for 390 East 200 North, submitted by Troy Linton, citing unresolved questions about whether the structure is a billboard and about how the city’s CU-2 sign standards apply to the applicant’s three-sided, 36-square-foot structure.

Laurie (staff member) summarized the application and drawings placed in the project folder. Staff and commissioners discussed whether the sign could be classified as a permitted business-identification sign under the CU-2 district rules or whether it should be treated as a billboard, which the commission does not allow in that location under current policy. The commission referenced the CU-2 district language and a subsection that defines “complex/center” signage and business-identification signs; staff referenced code numbering in the 9353x range during the discussion.

Commissioners noted the applicant’s structure is three-sided and that the ordinance includes measurement guidance; they identified uncertainty whether to aggregate three faces for area calculations. Commissioners also raised the likelihood the sign could be used as an advertising platform for third-party commercial tenants, which would weigh toward classification as a billboard.

A commissioner moved to table the permit for further study and legal review; another commissioner seconded the motion. The motion passed and staff will ask the city attorney to review code language and prepare guidance for the City Council. Laurie said a public hearing on proposed sign regulations and related lighting changes is scheduled for Sept. 18 and will be posted on the city website.

The applicant was given the option to seek a variance through city council if the commission ultimately determines the sign does not comply with the sign code.","The planning commission tabled a sign permit application for Troy Linton at 390 East 200 North after commissioners concluded the structure likely qualifies as a billboard under current code and does not meet size requirements.",{"_33":106,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":107,"_41":108,"_43":109,"_45":110,"_47":111,"_49":50,"_51":112,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":113,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":114,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6477215,"Planning and Zoning approves building permit for 522 South 300 East",442,295000,737000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5712917-14267d49c4874342fe522c3b700b152f&start=295&end=737","/articles/6477215/Utah/Planning-and-Zoning-approves-building-permit-for-522-South-300-East","The Mona City Planning and Zoning Commission on Sept. 3 approved a building permit application for 522 South 300 East and will forward the item to the Mona City Council for its regular meeting the following Tuesday.

The applicant, builder Jeff K., told the commission he and staff had verified the lot designation (Lot 7) and discussed the county versus city lot split shown in the council’s Onyx records. Laurie (staff member) confirmed irrigation approvals are in progress and that Shauna has discussed the project with Gordon and will sign off when paperwork is in.

Commissioners asked whether utilities were stubbed to the lot; staff said utilities were not stubbed and that, as with other properties on 300 South, developers typically pay for the long side and extend service across the road. The applicant said he sometimes supplies water for buyers depending on location.

After discussion, a commissioner moved to approve the permit and the commission seconded the motion. The commission voted to approve the building permit and directed staff to pass the application to the city council for final review.

The commission’s action was procedural: it approves the permit application for submission to the Mona City Council, which retains final approval authority for the permit and any required conditions.

Staff and the applicant indicated outstanding items include completing irrigation documentation and ensuring utility connections are permitted and constructed to city standards prior to final inspection.","The Mona City Planning and Zoning Commission approved a building permit application for 522 South 300 East and will forward the item to the city council for final action.","actionData","errors"]
