Bear River approves zoning change requiring county septic permit before building permits for properties without sewer
Summary
The Town of Bear River approved the second reading of Ordinance 2025-01, adding a requirement that properties without access to a sewer collection system provide a county-approved septic permit showing design and capacity before a building permit is issued.
The Town of Bear River approved the second reading of Ordinance 2025-01 on a motion presented during the meeting.
Speaker 2 moved to adopt the ordinance amending planning and zoning regulations and described a new condition: "a copy of the approved septic permit from the county documenting proper design and capacity will be required prior to building a building permit" for properties that do not have a sewer collection system available. Speaker 1 confirmed the motion and the board recorded its approval.
The change places a county septic permit—evidence of design and capacity—into the town's checklist before issuing a building permit for properties lacking sewer hookups. The transcript does not record whether the ordinance sets an effective date or includes exemptions; those details were not specified in the provided record.
The ordinance was presented as a second reading and adopted at the meeting; the transcript does not show additional amendments or a separate roll-call tally with named voters. Next procedural steps, such as when the ordinance takes effect or requirements for enforcement, were not stated in the transcript.
