Holly's Pond Phase 2 preliminary plat approved with deviations and conditions
Summary
Commission approved the two-lot Holly's Pond Phase 2 preliminary plat (R1-10) with staff-approved deviations (retention ponds on lots; reduced ROW from 53 to 43 feet) and conditions including stormwater easements, maintenance agreements and future sidewalk construction.
The Herriman Planning Commission approved the Holly's Pond Phase 2 preliminary plat during a Nov. 6 public hearing, allowing two residential R1-10 lots on a 0.81-acre parcel and authorizing two staff-recommended deviations with conditions.
Sheldon, planning staff, explained Phase 2 would create two residential lots of roughly one-third acre each, extend Holly Pond Lane east for future development, and requires a 6-foot vinyl fence where the lots border agricultural property. Staff documented two deviations: allowing retention ponds to be located on private lots (with access easements and stormwater maintenance agreements required) and reducing the road right-of-way on the north side from 53 feet to 43 feet by removing the park strip and sidewalk (staff approved the deviation conditioned on providing safe pedestrian access to the south side and installing the sidewalk in Phase 1).
During questions, a commissioner confirmed that the paved road width remains standard while the north side would have curb and gutter only and the south side would include the park strip and future sidewalk. Andrea asked how the stormwater fee-in-lieu would work; Josh (engineering staff) explained the fee would fund the connector to the east when that development proceeds and that the new development would pay for its own stormwater infrastructure. Commissioner concern was raised that fee-in-lieu payments sometimes sit unused until the next development triggers construction; staff acknowledged the timing risk.
Alan Prince, a partner with the firm identified in the record as MPN (and associated entity), said the owner has the east parcel under contract and expects the phase to connect to adjacent developments; he said lots in the existing Holly's Pond are nearly all sold. After the public hearing (no public commenters), Commissioner Daryl moved to approve the preliminary plat with staff's five recommendations; Heather seconded and the motion passed by roll call (Andrea, Daryl, Tara, Heather, Jackson and Preston voting yes).
Conditions of approval include providing stormwater easements and maintenance agreements, installing required fencing along agricultural edges, and providing the pedestrian access and sidewalk sequencing described by staff.
