Planning commission recommends sidewalk waiver for Standing Park Subdivision
Summary
Hooper City planning staff recommended and the commission recommended approval of a sidewalk waiver for Standing Park Subdivision, allowing a waiver on the north side of Jesse Lane while maintaining sidewalks on both sides of 6450 West per engineer guidance.
Hooper City planning staff presented a recommendation to the planning commission to grant a sidewalk waiver for the Standing Park Subdivision, and the commission voted to recommend the waiver.
City staff said the submission shows sidewalks on the south side of Jesse Lane and the east side of 6450 West, while the city engineer recommended sidewalks on both sides of 6450 West and a waiver on the north side of Jesse Lane. "We feel like this subdivision fits our general plan really well, and the applicant's been really good to work with," said Malcolm, a city planner, describing staff support for using the city's sidewalk-waiver ordinance in this case.
A commissioner asked whether the Perkins irrigation ditch adjacent to the property had been notified and whether sidewalk construction could interfere with water conveyance; staff said the project is early in review and no issues from the ditch had been raised so far, and that an open ditch would likely remain in place so sidewalks may be preferable away from the ditch.
Commissioner Prince moved to recommend approval of the sidewalk waiver (waiving the north side of Jesse Lane); Commissioner Whitson seconded. The chair called the vote and the motion passed.
The commission's recommendation will inform later hearings and the subdivision's subsequent review stages; staff said the waiver request was brought forward early so the applicant could have clarity as it continues through the subdivision process.
