Commission approves Phelps road extension and Plat B subject to easement review
Summary
The commission approved changes to the official county roadmap and Phelps Subdivision Plat B to extend 6200 West and add a cul‑de‑sac, contingent on attorney review of third‑party utility easement vacates and receipt of utility consents; vote was 3-0.
The Utah County Commission approved map amendments and Plat B for the Phelps property to extend 6200 West and provide access to a currently landlocked parcel, subject to attorney review of third‑party easement vacates and county‑engineer conditions.
Community Development staff explained the design, the requirement that the road be constructed to a 40‑mph design standard for connectivity (with signage required on some 90° bends), and that the developer had provided a 56‑foot access easement through its property and a 28‑foot alignment to connect toward 6000 West. Staff also reported that utility companies (including the irrigation district and Dominion Energy) had provided consent letters; the county attorney cautioned the commission that the county cannot unilaterally vacate third‑party public utility easements and recommended conditional approval subject to attorney review and replacement easements or consents.
Commissioner (unnamed C) moved approval of both the map amendment and the plat with the noted conditions; the motion was seconded and passed 3‑0. Staff said the developer will construct the road to engineering specifications and then return for the county to accept dedication once construction is complete.
Next steps: staff and county counsel will finalize language clarifying that the county will not impair third‑party utility easements and will confirm consents before accepting any dedication.
