Planning commission schedules special meeting after drainage concerns delay Davis Catfish pole-barn site plan
Summary
The commission deferred final action on Davis Catfish's pole-barn site plan to allow engineers to address drainage concerns and agreed to hold a special meeting on July 28 at 6:00 p.m. prior to the work session to review revisions.
The Spanish Fork Planning Commission deferred final site-plan approval for a pole-barn addition proposed by Davis Catfish and set a special meeting for 6:00 p.m. on July 28 to review revised drainage plans. City planning staff said unresolved stormwater concerns remain and that the applicant’s engineer will need to address those issues before the commission can act on the site plan.
Casey, a city planning staff member, told commissioners that “there's still some concerns about drainage on the site” and recommended working with the applicant’s engineer to resolve outstanding engineering items. Casey said the planning commission would call a special meeting on July 28 at 6:00 p.m. followed immediately by the regular work session to give staff time to confirm the required revisions.
The commission discussed the possibility of granting a landscaping waiver as part of the overall approval package, subject to resolution of drainage and other technical items. Commissioners emphasized that proper public notice must be given: one commissioner asked Casey to “get with Miss Gaines in the morning and make sure we properly post that meeting,” and staff confirmed that no formal vote was required to set the special meeting; it only needed to be noticed.
Why it matters: Drainage and stormwater management are conditions for safe site development; unresolved issues can delay construction and affect neighboring parcels. Commissioners framed this as a technical review rather than a policy dispute and agreed to reconvene to consider revised materials.
Outcome: No site-plan approval or variance was granted at the meeting. The commission’s direction was procedural: staff and the applicant’s engineers will address drainage concerns and return at the special meeting for further review.
Next steps: The applicant must submit revised engineering drawings addressing drainage and stormwater detention; staff will post and notice the special meeting and circulate materials for commission review prior to that session.
