County reports progress and utility timing for FJ Gilmore subdivision; Rocky Mountain Power delays cited
Summary
Public works staff updated the council on mass grading, material moves to Lot 6, road extensions, and waterline work at the FJ Gilmore subdivision, and said utilities and transformer scheduling with Rocky Mountain Power are the primary gating items for completing paving and lot servicing by early September.
John Angel briefed the council on site development activity at the FJ Gilmore subdivision, reporting that the parcel had been subdivided into seven lots with material moved onto Lot 6 and portions of Lot 1. He said approximately 200,000 cubic yards of material were placed to prepare lots for building and that High Valley Transit and Mountain Regional have started foundation and building work on their respective lots.
On infrastructure, Angel described work to extend Paintbrush Road to Silver Creek Drive, the driveway cut-in to provide alternate Justice Center access, and a water-line extension to serve the Justice Center expansion. He said the county is coordinating with Rocky Mountain Power on new power-line design and transformer delivery (Rocky Mountain Power schedule remains a gating constraint) and that some power work may not be complete until September. Questar was on-site to install conduit to run power along the Sago Lily/Old 40 alignment and the county expects to run communications and shallow lines behind the conduit.
Angel said some sewer routing options are still under engineer review after the discovery of a large existing duct bank in the intended alignment; engineers are evaluating potential easements and alternate alignments to avoid cutting newly paved roads. He estimated that, once utilities are confirmed, paving of Paintbrush Road through to Silver Creek Drive would follow and staff hoped to complete key utility and paving elements by early September.
Council members asked for final cost assessments for proportional reimbursement among lot owners after utility contract pricing is known; staff said a cost summary should be ready after firm estimates from Rocky Mountain Power and other contractors are received, likely by July.
