Commission reviews Don Butcher's lot-split application for 1167 East Gold Spur
Summary
Planning commissioners reviewed a proposed amended subdivision at 1167 East Gold Spur (Don Butcher application) and discussed frontage, utilities, tax implications, and whether to create three lots now or in stages; staff will present a final plat for commission review.
Fruit Heights planning commissioners discussed a proposed lot split application filed by Don Butcher for 1167 East Gold Spur. The property totals about 2.25 acres, and staff said the applicant may be able to create additional building lots—potentially three half-acre lots—given existing frontage and utility stub-ins.
"Don Butcher filed the application," said Speaker 5, noting the applicant’s intention to amend the subdivision to create at least one additional buildable lot and possibly three. Commissioners discussed whether to encourage a single three-lot subdivision to save future surveying and subdivision costs and asked whether any tax rollback or greenbelt rules would apply; Speaker 5 said the land is not in greenbelt, so no rollback is expected.
Staff reiterated the current process under state statute and city rules: the planning commission reviews preliminary plats while staff approves final plats, and the city council no longer approves subdivisions. Speaker 5 said he will prepare a final plat and bring it to the planning commission for review and notification even though staff will have approval authority under the current process.
No final approval or formal vote on the lot split occurred; staff will follow up with a plat for the commission's review.
