Planning staff approves final plat for Ridge Townhomes Phase 5, conditioning DEQ permit

Weber County planning staff approved final platting for Ridge Townhomes, PRED Phase 5, a 12‑unit townhome development arranged as three four‑unit buildings on about 2.9 acres, with final approval conditioned on satisfying state drinking water permitting requirements.

Staff said the project is in an FR‑3 zone, will be served by Wolf Creek water and sewer and that the developer submitted will‑serve letters and a signed improvement agreement. The project’s conditional use permit (CUP) was originally approved in 2013; staff noted that state code now delegates final approval for some large subdivisions to the planning director rather than the county commission.

The proposed buildings are two stories, described as mountain‑modern in style, with unit sizes between about 1,400 and 2,100 square feet and a maximum building height of 26 feet. Staff recommended final approval after confirming that engineered plans and escrow were in place and that remaining conditions could be satisfied.

Action and condition: staff recommended approval based on findings in the report; the administrative meeting recorded the county’s approval with the condition that the project obtain the state construction/DEQ permit for drinking water. The transcript does not include a formal roll‑call vote tally or the name of a mover/second for the approval.

Site details and access: the development will access Moose Hollow Drive via private drives and contains common area and private drives within the site. Staff noted a lift station to the south that serves prior phases; the lift‑station access road runs through property owned by Eden Valley Development and is subject to existing easements and access agreements.
