Weber County approves final plat for Bristol Farms subdivision, condition requires irrigation will‑serve letter

Weber County staff approved final platting for Bristol Farms Subdivision phases 1 through 4 — an 81‑lot project on about 29 acres near 1700 South and 4300 West in Ogden — during the county administrative review on May 8.

Tammy Adelott, a planner filling in for Felix, told the review that “the planning division recommends final approval of this project” and noted that the packet matches the previously approved development agreement. Bill Cobabe, filling in for Director Rick Grover, moved the item forward and said, “I think that we can go ahead and approve this,” placing approval under Director Grover’s authority.

The application covers a 29‑acre site in the R 115 zone that received preliminary approval in December 2023. Tammy Adelott explained that while the R 115 zone typically requires 15,000‑square‑foot lots, “in a connectivity and sun wise subdivision, it allows for lots to go as small as 6,000 square feet and a 60 foot width.” The proposal includes a network of public roads and pathways intended to connect with adjacent developments; a 15‑foot mid‑block pathway and two detention basins (one in phase 1 and one in phase 2) will be maintained by the homeowners association, while all roads will be public.

Water and sewer arrangements described in the staff report are: culinary water by Taylor West Weber, secondary water by Hooper Irrigation, and sewer service by Central Weber Sewer (the project area has already annexed into that service area). County engineering required the developer to enter a maintenance agreement for the detention basins. Staff noted that a final will‑serve letter from Hooper Irrigation was not yet provided; the review approved final platting with the additional condition that a finalized will‑serve letter from Hooper Irrigation be submitted to Weber County prior to plat recordation.

Street cross sections and landscaping standards are included in the development agreement and staff said those improvements will be required during the development process. Roadway right‑of‑way widths shown in the submission include 80‑foot, 66‑foot and 60‑foot sections.

The administrative review consisted of the developer team presenting the packet, staff confirming that the submittal matched the development agreement and the planning division’s recommendation, and the county recording the approval with the added condition on irrigation service. The meeting concluded with the chair adjourning the session.

The approval allows the developer to proceed toward plat recordation once the specified pre‑recording condition from Hooper Irrigation is satisfied. No formal roll‑call vote or individual commissioner tally was recorded in the transcript.
