Levan planning commission approves two single‑family building permits, contingent on wastewater approval
Summary
The Levan Planning Commission on May 7 approved two single‑family building permits — one for Hans Olsen and one identified as Briggs & Ludlow — subject to each applicant securing required wastewater permits; the body also approved previous meeting minutes.
LEVAN — The Levan Planning Commission on May 7 approved two single‑family building permits contingent on the applicants obtaining wastewater permits, the commission said during its regular meeting.
The commission approved a permit for Hans Olsen for a one‑story, three‑bedroom house (approximate footprint and dimensions discussed as 30 by 76) and another permit listed as Briggs and Ludlow for a larger, two‑story house with basement. Both approvals were conditional on the town receiving the applicants' wastewater permits before final inspection or occupancy, commissioners said.
Nathan, planning commission chair, moved to approve Olsen’s plans “pending the wastewater permit being approved,” and a colleague seconded the motion. The commission then voted in favor; members described the Olsen house as roughly 1,500 square feet and discussed porches, setbacks and foundation type during review. For the Briggs and Ludlow application, staff and commissioners discussed lot frontage (noted as about 99 feet), garage and driveway setbacks (a 30‑foot front setback was cited), and basement drainage concerns before approving the permit contingent on wastewater approval.
The meeting record shows commissioners asked staff to ensure the inspector verifies setback measurements and final grading as the projects advance. The approvals were recorded as unanimous votes by the commission; individual roll‑call votes were not read into the record.
