Rush Valley planners approve shop and home permits for Andrew Byers at 958 West Highway 199
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a building permit for a shop with electrical and rough-in utilities and a separate permit for a home at 958 West Highway 199 for applicant Andrew Byers, pending standard inspections and town engineer review.
The Rush Valley Planning and Zoning Commission on March 7 approved two related permits for Andrew Byers at 958 West Highway 199: a permit for a shop (storage building) and a separate building permit for a residence on the same parcel.
Byers told the commission the shop would be used for storage of work and farm equipment and "it's just gonna be a basically a storage building shop to put my work equipment, farm equipment, whatever in." He said the shop will include electricity, be roughed in for gas for future heat, and that he planned a hydrant/hard connection for water that will require inspection.
Commissioners reviewed the site plan and confirmed setbacks for the R-5 lot: 20 feet from the west side, 50 feet from the rear and more than 100 feet from the front property line. Staff said the applicant had submitted electrical design information from Rocky Mountain Power and a permit for power was on file; staff asked Byers to contact Rocky Mountain Power to verify service and provide a letter from the utility. The commission also noted that water and electrical work would trigger inspections.
Town staff requested that Byers separate the shop and residence plans into two files so the town engineer could review them individually. "If you'll send that to me then, I'll just make him a cleaner package and send over to him," a staff member said. The commission acknowledged that the shop will require inspections for any interior plumbing or hydrant and that the house will require full review, septic design confirmation and well permitting. The applicant confirmed the percolation (PERT) test had been completed and septic design information was provided.
After confirming documents and setbacks, Scottie Hawkins moved to approve the shop permit and Carl Wall seconded; the motion passed with no opposition. The commission then moved to approve the building permit for the residence; Carl Wall moved and David Anderson seconded that motion, which also passed with no opposition.
The town engineer will perform the technical review and the clerk will issue permits once inspection and fee requirements are satisfied.
