Planning commission holds public hearing on Kimball Estates; Swayze lot review described as straightforward
Summary
Commissioners heard a public hearing and staff briefing on Kimball Estates, a proposed 21‑lot subdivision of three‑quarter‑acre lots that still requires UDOT approval for a road connection, and discussed a separate Swayze single‑lot subdivision with deferred improvements and a required sidewalk extension.
Hooper City planning staff opened a public hearing on Kimball Estates, a proposed subdivision of approximately 21 lots using a three‑quarter‑acre lot option, and briefed the commission on remaining technical approvals and neighborhood considerations.
Staff described Kimball Estates as a relatively large‑lot subdivision (the commission referred repeatedly to a three‑quarter‑acre option) that had proceeded through standard engineering and planning review. The developer was said to be working with UDOT for needed approvals where the subdivision connects to State Route 59; staff identified UDOT sign‑off on that roadway connection as the remaining major item before the project returns for final approval.
Staff reported having contacted adjacent landowners about drainage and noted a berm on the site that staff asked the applicant to remove. Staff said surrounding property owners (primarily farm ground and a nearby church) had not raised substantive drainage objections during review. The developer identified in the discussion was referred to as Mac Builders (also heard as Mark 3 in the staff remarks); staff described the project as generally compliant with city ordinances to date.
Commissioners and staff anticipated returning Kimball Estates to the commission for a final decision after the applicant completes outstanding technical items, including the UDOT roadway approval and adding a required land‑use separation note to the plan set.
Separately, staff reviewed the Swayze subdivision: a single‑lot, roughly 1‑acre lot in an R‑1 zone. Staff recommended the applicant install deferred improvements including continuing an existing sidewalk connection (Skyview) to the lot frontage. Staff said the property was used informally for storage by the previous owner but that staff had not received substantive public complaints. The commission indicated the Swayze item should be straightforward to approve once required improvements and documentation are complete.
No final votes or approvals were recorded in the work‑meeting transcript. Staff said both items were expected back to the commission for final action after outstanding technical and plan clarifications were provided.
