Planning commission approves drainage‑easement relocation for Promontory Sage Hills lot PSH‑20
Summary
The Eastern Summit County Planning Commission approved an amended plat for Promontory Sage Hills Estate lot PSH‑20 on Feb. 5, 2026, moving a drainage easement outside the development envelope so the landowner can site a home. Staff said the relocation will be accommodated with a 15‑inch HDPE pipe and will not affect neighboring lots.
The Eastern Summit County Planning Commission on Feb. 5 approved an amended plat for Promontory Sage Hills Estate lot PSH‑20 that relocates a drainage easement outside the development envelope to allow flexible home siting. The commission voted to approve the application as recommended in the staff report.
An unidentified staff presenter told commissioners the lot is 0.59 acres and the easement relocation is proposed because the existing easement encroaches on the development envelope. "There is good cause for moving this drainage easement," the presenter said, and added, "there is no material injury to any of the public interest, and there is no impact on density." Staff recommended approval subject to the findings of fact, conclusions of law and the conditions listed in the report.
Commission discussion focused on stormwater handling and whether the relocated alignment would affect adjacent Lot 21. A commissioner summarized the engineered approach and confirmed the plan calls for a 15‑inch HDPE pipe and a 3‑by‑3 junction box to reroute flows; the applicant's representative said the pipe would daylight at the northern limits of Lot 20 and reconnect to an existing open channel running by Lot 21, maintaining historic flows and avoiding impacts to adjacent parcels.
A commissioner moved to approve the plat amendment "as shown in the staff report, per the findings of fact, conclusions of law, and conditions of approval." Another commissioner seconded the motion. The commission recorded affirmative votes and the motion carried.
The application packet lists staff findings and conditions that the commission relied on in making its recommendation. The applicant's firm name and one representative's last name were difficult to hear on the record; the staff report and public record list the formal applicant documents and contact information.
Next steps: the approved amended plat will be processed per the conditions in the staff report and recorded according to county procedures.
