Planning commission retroactively approves excavation/grading permit for septic at 101 Stonecairn Lane
Summary
Commissioners approved a retroactive grading/excavation permit after hearing that the Southwest Utah Public Health Department had inspected and approved a septic installation completed March–May; approval included condition that post‑excavation elevations and site grading documentation be provided to the town.
The Rockville Planning Commission approved a retroactive excavation and grading permit for 101 Stonecairn Lane to regularize a septic system installation that the applicant said had been permitted through the Southwest Utah Public Health Department but not filed with Rockville.
Applicant Stephanie Trimmer told the commission the septic work was done by her husband over about two months and was inspected and approved by the health department on May 14. Commissioners confirmed that the soil was returned and that drainage had not changed. Chair noted that, while retroactive permits are not preferred, excavations sometimes exceed expectations and that the installation complied with the public health approval.
Commissioners asked for a post‑excavation grading plan and elevation references. The commission’s motion stated the application is complete, noted that the installation was approved by the Southwest Utah Public Health Department, and found the excavation restored the original grade and complies with Rockville land use code chapter 5. The motion passed on a roll call of Andy, Linda, Jane and Angie.
The commission asked the applicant to provide post‑excavation elevations and a permanent benchmark for the record and reminded the applicant of town preferences about lighting and that secondary living spaces cannot be short‑term rentals under town code.
