Summary

After a presentation on utilities, access and septic testing, Emery County commissioners approved a minor subdivision application for roughly 19 acres known as Allred Acres, allowing four two-acre county lots to be recorded.

The Emery County Planning Commission approved a minor subdivision for a roughly 19-acre parcel known in discussion as “Allred Acres,” clearing the owner to record multiple county building lots.

The applicant told commissioners the parcel totals about 19 acres before removing a road, and presented a conceptual layout that includes several two-acre lots and a larger retained parcel. The applicant said he obtained a perk test from the local health department (James Urkelau) and received letters from the road department (Justin) and utilities (Jacob Sharp) indicating access and water availability. The applicant also said power and a water line run along the property and that a previous house and utility hookups existed on the site.

Commissioners discussed driveway and turnaround standards, emergency access and county ordinance requirements for driveways longer than 200 feet. Staff confirmed the proposed layout meets the county’s minor-subdivision checklist and county standards for lot frontage and setbacks. After discussion a motion to approve the minor subdivision passed by voice vote.

Planning staff said they will notify the recorder’s office and record the approved plat; the applicant was advised that annexation into Orangeville would change county requirements should the owner pursue city subdivision rules later. Commissioners recommended the applicant consider adjacent parcels (Stilson property) in future planning if annexation or additional lots are desired.
