Planning commission postpones development hearings, approves withdrawals and names member to floodplain appeals panel

The Lehi Fayette Urban County Government Planning Commission on Sept. 11 voted to postpone two development items until Oct. 9, approved withdrawals of two applications and one waiver, and appointed Commissioner Molly Davis to serve on the Floodplain Appeals Committee.

The actions moved routine administrative items forward and changed the scheduling for several applicants. The postponements and withdrawals were handled largely by unanimous votes or with minimal discussion, and staff reminded the commission of an upcoming work session on affordable housing scheduled for Sept. 18.

The commission first approved the minutes of its Aug. 14 meeting. Commissioner Molly Davis moved to approve the minutes and Commissioner Jonathan Davis seconded; the motion carried unanimously, according to the record.

The commission then approved performance bonds and letters of credit as listed in the packet memorandum from Mr. Fairchild dated Sept. 11. Chair Davis moved the action and Mr. Forrester seconded; the motion carried unanimously.

Several applicants asked to postpone or withdraw applications. At the request of an applicant representative, Mr. Murphy, the commission granted a one-month postponement for PLN MJDP 25-42 (4075 Old Richmond Road) to the Oct. 9 meeting. "We are requesting a 1 month postponement," Murphy said. Mr. Forrester moved the postponement and Commissioner Wirth seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
