Commission forwards two Promontory subdivisions to county manager with staff recommendations
Summary
The commission voted to forward two separate Promontory subdivision proposals — a 25‑lot and a 14‑lot — to the county manager with positive recommendations, after staff reported the proposals meet criteria in the staff report and the applicants answered questions about water, sewer and snow storage.
The Eastern Summit County Planning Commission voted to forward two Promontory subdivision applications to the county manager with positive recommendations after staff said the proposals meet the criteria in the staff report.
Planner Amir presented the two items: a 25‑lot subdivision in the southern portion of Promontory, south of the Nicholas Clubhouse, and a 14‑lot subdivision adjacent to the first. Both use Promontory’s existing pooled density and were recommended for approval "as outlined in the staff report," Amir said.
Applicant representatives described how the developments fit into the larger Promontory project. The applicant said the lots continue development moving south along Painted Valley Pass toward Browns Canyon Road and that the project is using density allocated to Promontory.
Commissioners asked several technical questions. On water, an applicant representative said they were coordinating with Mountain Regional Water and that the project has rights totaling around 2,400 acre‑feet; the constraint is a summer peaking factor, and the applicant said an additional reservoir is in design to manage peak demand. On sewer, the applicant said the Snyderville Basin Water Reclamation District handles wastewater for the area and that a third lift station is planned near Browns Canyon Road to move flow over the ridge to the existing treatment plant. On snow removal, applicants said internal private roads and rights‑of‑way provide the primary space for snow storage.
Staff noted a minor technical correction to the 14‑lot plat: two building envelopes had been shown extending over slope >30% on Lot 11; the applicant agreed to remove the offending envelope. With those clarifications, commissioners moved to forward both plats to the county manager per the staff findings, conclusions of law and recommended conditions. The motions carried on voice votes.
The commission also discussed a future broader presentation on Promontory to review project approvals and remaining community benefits; staff said that presentation is in the pipeline.
Votes at a glance: both Promontory subdivision items were forwarded to the county manager with positive recommendations; the public hearing portions were closed for both items because there were no public commenters present.
What’s next: Both items will be considered by the county manager under the planning commission’s recommendation.
