Willard planning commission schedules public hearing on updated master road plan after UDOT spacing changes
Loading...
Summary
Commissioners reviewed proposed edits to the master road plan driven by UDOT spacing requirements and agreed to set a public hearing (July 17) to get public input on the revised map and road removals along Highway 89.
The Willard City Planning Commission continued work on its master road plan June 5, focusing on edits caused by Utah Department of Transportation spacing requirements that remove some proposed intersections along Highway 89. Staff and commissioners discussed cul‑de‑sac length limits (600 feet) and the need to preserve a future 1000 West connector to keep local circulation conforming to ordinance standards.
Commissioners asked staff to integrate suggested edits and circulate an updated, larger map. The commission agreed to set a public hearing for July 17 to solicit public input on the revised master road plan and related roadway deletions or shifts; the meeting record also references scheduling considerations for an August 7 hearing date on a related item. Staff said they will email the latest map and noted some changes reflect long‑range (50‑year) planning rather than immediate projects.
Outcome: the commission voted to set a public hearing for July 17 and directed staff to provide the updated plan materials in advance so commissioners and the public can review them.
Next steps: staff will refine the map, email the latest version to commissioners, and publish hearing notices in advance of the July 17 meeting.
