Commission flags sight‑distance and property‑line concerns for proposed Emigration Canyon fence; applicant to submit survey
Summary
Commissioners raised life‑safety and right‑of‑way questions about a homeowner’s proposed fence along Canyon Road and asked the applicant to submit a formal application and a recent survey; staff said a traffic/sight‑distance review and clearer plan will be required before any waiver is considered.
Commissioners used the July 10 meeting to discuss a proposed private fence along Canyon Road that is not yet a formal application but that prompted safety and property‑line questions.
Commissioner comments raised the sight‑distance risk of a 5‑ to 6‑foot opaque fence near a driveway on a canyon road and noted a survey in the applicant’s packet appears to be from 2015 and includes a now‑demolished structure. Commissioner Jody said she had "significant concerns" about the lack of required information and that without a current survey staff could not confirm the property line or right‑of‑way boundaries.
Staff said the applicant will obtain a current survey and was advised the proposal will require a traffic/sight‑distance review and clearer materials before it returns as either a formal land‑use application or a request for relief from ordinance standards. Commissioners emphasized that public‑safety considerations and the potential for encroaching on county right‑of‑way must be resolved before any waiver or approval.
No formal action was taken; staff indicated the matter will return to the commission after the applicant submits a complete package.
