Summit County approves final plat for Promontory Horizon Point subdivision

A Summit County board member approved the final subdivision plat for the Promontory Horizon Point subdivision after staff and the planning commission recommended approval.

County planning staff (AC Vermeer) told the board the proposal covers 14 lots just south of the Nicholas Clubhouse on Painted Valley Pass and that staff had confirmed the lots are not on ridgelines and have sufficient developable slopes. Vermeer said the applicant removed a building pad in the back portion because accessing that pad would require crossing a natural slope of 30% and there is no road access from the rear.

Matthew Idema, director of land development for Promontory, deferred to the county for questions and offered no additional comments. The public hearing was opened and closed with no members of the public speaking. A board member said the project "seems like a good project" and, citing the staff report and findings of fact and conclusions of law, moved to approve the final subdivision plat; the motion was seconded and the board approved the plat. The transcript does not record a roll-call vote tally.

Staff recommended approval "as outlined in the staff report" and the approval was made subject to the conditions and findings referenced in that report. After the approval the applicant team said they were "excited to get started on these." The board directed staff to circulate the signed documents for signatures.

The transcript did not record a vote count, nor did it provide an exact hearing date in the segment provided. The approval was taken under the findings of fact and conclusions of law and the conditions set out in the staff report.
