Pleasant Grove council approves boundary adjustment request to allow sewer connection for 4611 N. 900 W.
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance 2025-013 after a public hearing on a proposed boundary adjustment with Cedar Hills that would move several properties, including 4611 North 900 West, into Cedar Hills so owners can access sewer service. No formal protests were filed during the 60-day notice period; the ordinance passed on a roll-call vote.
Pleasant Grove City Council on Tuesday approved Ordinance 2025-013 to adjust the common boundary with the city of Cedar Hills for multiple properties including 4611 North 900 West, after a public hearing and no registered protests during the 60-day notice period.
The change was requested by property owners Dan and Karen Stewart of 4611 North 900 West, who told the council they want access to a sewer connection in Cedar Hills. Daniel Cardenas, Community Development Director, said Cedar Hills has an operational sewer line on 900 West and the Stewarts are currently on a septic system; joining Cedar Hills would allow the property to connect to that system.
The city cautioned that the proposed adjustment would create an island of properties on Wedgwood Drive if only the Stewarts’ parcel moved; Cardenas said municipalities generally avoid islanded parcels for service and that state code prohibits islands when annexing unincorporated areas. Pleasant Grove staff identified a cluster of additional parcels proposed for the boundary change to avoid creating an island. City staff also noted the city owns a well on the north end of the proposed area; Public Works staff told council the city could continue to access and service that well even if it fell outside Pleasant Grove’s municipal boundary.
At the public hearing, Karen Stewart described long-running septic problems at her home, said she first contacted staff in late July and thanked city staff and her attorney for work on the request. No residents spoke in opposition at the hearing. Cardenas said the change will not be final until both Pleasant Grove and Cedar Hills adopt matching ordinances and the new municipal boundaries are recorded with the state.
Councilmember Williams moved to adopt Ordinance 2025-013; Councilmember Jensen seconded. The council approved the ordinance in a roll-call vote with Councilmembers Anderson, Jansen (Jensen), Ramon and Williams voting yes.
The boundary adjustment now proceeds to Cedar Hills for its public hearing and potential ordinance; only after both cities adopt matching ordinances and the state updates municipal boundaries will the change be final.
