Planning commission approves two‑lot subdivision on Mount Sun Lane
Summary
Brighton’s Planning Commission approved a two‑lot subdivision at 11185 Mount Sun Lane on Aug. 21, splitting a roughly 2.2‑acre parcel into a ~1.198‑acre lot and a one‑acre lot. Approval was conditional on final MSD staff sign‑off and Salt Lake City watershed approval; no public comment was recorded.
The Brighton Planning Commission on Aug. 21 approved a two‑lot subdivision at 11185 Mount Sun Lane, voting to split an existing 2.2‑acre parcel into roughly a 1.198‑acre lot and a one‑acre lot, subject to final municipal staff sign‑off and Salt Lake City Public Utilities watershed approval.
Jim (MSD staff) presented the proposal, describing the parcel as previously platted as the Cameron Watts subdivision with a single residence on the site. “This is a proposed, 2 lot subdivision,” Jim said, and staff recommended approval, noting the plan meets the town’s grading and slope requirements and conforms with the underlying FR‑1 zoning (forestry/recreation, 1‑acre minimum).
Under the proposal each new lot would meet the one‑acre minimum required by the FR‑1 zone and the town’s minimum lot‑width requirement (200 feet per lot). Staff noted the east property line measures more than 500 feet, which accommodates the required widths. Adjacent parcels include half‑acre and 1‑acre lots and nearby U.S. Forest Service land zoned FR‑20.
Commissioners asked several procedural questions: staff confirmed an easement required for the property is already in place and that Salt Lake City has confirmed water availability but is preparing a written watershed approval. A commissioner moved to grant plan approval subject to the conditions listed — receipt of final approval from MSD planning staff and obtaining Salt Lake City Public Utilities watershed approval — and the motion was seconded. The chair called for a voice vote; the motion passed. The record shows an affirmative voice vote but does not include a roll‑call or individual vote tallies.
Staff explained the next steps: prepare the final plat, obtain necessary signatures and approvals (including the pending watershed approval), print and record the plat with the county. Staff emphasized that the final plat must be recorded before the property is legally two separate parcels.
No written or public‑comment testimony in favor or opposition was recorded in the staff notice or in the meeting record. The commission concluded the matter and moved on to other business.
