Commission recommends preliminary approval for Wasatch Peaks Ranch Phase 6 — 52 lots on ~209 acres
Summary
Planning staff recommended and the commission unanimously recommended approval of Wasatch Peaks Ranch Subdivision Phase 6 (file 24.08), a preliminary plat for 52 lots on about 209.2 acres near 5086 West Wasatch Peaks Road. Staff said the application meets minimum code requirements and recommended forwarding to the county commission.
Planning staff presented the Wasatch Peaks Ranch Subdivision Phase 6 preliminary plat (file 24.08) at the Morgan County Planning Commission’s April 10 meeting and the commission voted to recommend approval to the county commission.
Staff described the project location as approximately 5086 West Wasatch Peaks Road and said the combined acreage affected is about 209.2 acres. The application requests preliminary‑plat recommendation for 52 lots. "The request for tonight ... is a preliminary plat approval ... for 52 lots," staff said. Staff explained the lots fall into two groups: smaller, higher‑density lots on the eastern end that range from roughly 0.76 to 1.08 acres (about 0.9 acres on average) and larger, lower‑density lots ranging from about 1 acre to 7.13 acres (an average of approximately 3.44 acres per lot). Reviewers including planning staff, the county engineer and the fire department recommended approval based on code findings.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions about average lot sizes and the relationship of the application to the previously approved concept plan (the concept plan allowed for up to about 75 lots; the current request covers 52 lots). After questions, a member moved to recommend approval to the county commission; the motion carried unanimously.
The commission’s action was a recommendation only; final approval rests with the Morgan County Commission at a subsequent meeting.
