Daggett County approves participation agreement to sell 17.559 acres to Matt Lucas for Pipe Creek Pointe
Summary
The Daggett County Commission approved a participation agreement with Matt Lucas for the sale of 17.559 acres (Pipe Creek Pointe). The agreement requires a $10,000 deposit, $50,500 due within 60 days of subdivision approval, and a one‑year closing requirement with an option to extend for good cause.
The Daggett County Commission voted to approve a participation agreement with Matt Lucas for the sale of 17.559 acres described in the agreement as the Pipe Creek Pointe property.
Kent, a county staff member, walked commissioners through revisions and standard terms in the draft agreement, including a $10,000 deposit and a remaining payment of $50,500 due within 60 days of approval of the minor subdivision. Kent summarized enforcement language that would terminate the agreement and cause the participant to forfeit the $10,000 if the participant fails to close on the development site within one year; the participant may seek an additional one‑year extension on a showing of good cause.
Commissioners discussed whether the participation agreement should reference rezoning or remain tied strictly to a minor subdivision; they agreed the agreement would be tied to the subdivision and that rezoning could be pursued separately if desired. Commissioners also asked that a map of the development site be added as an attachment or addendum to the agreement for clarity in county records. Kent confirmed the agreement package would include the legal description, a map of the development site and a sample warranty deed as exhibits.
An unidentified commissioner moved to enter the participation agreement with Matt Lucas; another commissioner seconded the motion. The chair called the question and at least two commissioners recorded “Aye” on the record; the chair indicated the agreement was approved. Kent said he had emailed the final participation agreement and attachments, including the map, to the commissioners and county staff.
The agreement sets financial and timing expectations but does not by itself change zoning; any rezoning would require separate review by planning and zoning. Commissioners discussed standard protective language addressing hazardous materials, participant responsibilities to pursue necessary town approvals, and typical reversionary language tied to deadlines. The agreement includes standard exhibits — legal description, a map and a sample warranty deed — and Kent said he will send the finalized, paginated documents to the commission.
