Planning commission approves preliminary plat for Great Basin Estates Phase 6 and recommends paved‑road variance
Summary
The Planning Commission approved the preliminary plat for Great Basin Estates Phase 6 (14 five‑acre lots) and recommended the county commission grant a variance from the paved‑road requirement; conditions include WUI/fire‑marshal road approval, stormwater permits and UDOT coordination for highway access where applicable.
The Duchesne County Planning Commission approved the preliminary plat for Great Basin Estates Phase 6, a proposed 14‑lot subdivision totaling roughly 65 acres that is bisected by U.S. Highway 40, and recommended the Duchesne County Commission grant a variance to the paved‑road requirement for roads to be constructed under gravel/WUI standards.
Staff said the development meets Title 9 preliminary‑plat criteria and noted a narrow, intermittent wash with a mapped 100‑year floodplain and a National Wetlands Inventory designation in older maps; staff advised that any work affecting wetlands or floodplain would require coordination with appropriate agencies and permits. The commission approved the preliminary plat conditioned on standard items: a title report for final plat, written approval of the roads by the Duchesne County Fire Marshal for WUI compliance (turning radii, slopes, driving surface), any state-required stormwater permits, and UDOT access/approach permit if required for the subdivision access.
The developer representatives said they will coordinate with UDOT and the fire marshal and confirmed there is road access to every lot; the commission approved the preliminary plat and will forward the variance recommendation and the preliminary‑plat approval to the county commission for final phases of review.
