Commission approves minutes, staff previews Dakota Pacific and water element timeline
Summary
At the Aug. 12 Snyderville Basin Planning Commission meeting commissioners approved minutes, were briefed that the Dakota Pacific application was approved by the county manager with no appeals, and staff previewed a separate water element of the general plan that the county council must adopt by year-end.
The Snyderville Basin Planning Commission on Aug. 12 approved minutes from its July 8 meeting, received staff updates about recently approved applications and upcoming work sessions, and discussed training and the general plan water element timeline.
A commissioner moved to approve the July 8 minutes; the motion carried, recorded in the meeting as passing 4-2 after discussion about prior recusals. The transcript does not record named votes for each commissioner in the minutes motion.
Staff reported that the county manager approved the Dakota Pacific application the commission reviewed in a prior meeting and that the 10-day appeal period expired with no appeals. “As you probably heard, the manager approved the Dakota Pacific application that you all reviewed a month or so ago, and then the 10 days appeal period expired with no appeals,” the director said, signaling the application will proceed and that the planning office expects to receive subsequent design-guideline and related submittals.
Staffers told commissioners they expect agendas to become busier in coming weeks, including work sessions on the Utah Olympic Park, a potential rezone for a car dealership (Karl Malone Ford store referenced), canyons-area development items, and a timberline building-envelope plat amendment. Commissioners also discussed scheduling a training work session; staff said they are coordinating topics and hope to schedule training in September.
Staff previewed the general plan work. The director said the water element will be ready ahead of the remainder of the general plan and will be presented as its own package because the county must deliver that element to the council by the end of the year. Staff named Jennifer Strader as the primary contact for the general plan and provided an email contact: Jstrader@summitcountyutah.gov.
Two public-hearing items on the published agenda were continued: item 3 (conditional use) was continued by the applicant, and item 4 (conditional use for a major accessory building at 4865) was continued for renoticing and may appear on the Sept. 9 agenda.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn that passed by voice vote.
