Planning commission refers Hilliard, Johnson and Christiansen properties to health department for inspection
Summary
Faced with reported illegal dwellings, multiple trailers and potential sewer issues, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to ask Southeast Utah Health (public health) to inspect Hilliard, Johnson Properties and Michael Christiansen sites and report back at the next meeting.
The Emery County Planning Commission on June 23 voted to ask Southeast Utah Health to inspect several properties flagged for potential health, safety and code violations, including sites associated with the Hilliard family, Johnson Properties, and a Michael Christiansen property.
Commissioners cited ordinance sections addressing illegal dwellings, health and safety, and unapproved land development. Speaker 4 summarized relevant code sections and said the properties have "developed multiple units there for year round living" and cited provisions for number of dwellings and safety. Chair and other members argued the county's cleanest path is to involve the health department because it has stronger immediate enforcement authority (Speaker 2 said the health department has "more power 30 day notice, something like that").
The commission voted unanimously to request health-department inspections, to show the inspector all three properties, and to report results at the next Planning Commission meeting. Commissioners said that public-health staff in Price may be better equipped to issue notices or orders where sewer, sanitation or habitability concerns exist.
