Summary

During public comment Kyle Hiatt alleged an illegal subdivision was being constructed and said he would file a notice of claim; Sandi Ferrell raised concerns about inconsistent permitting. Council directed staff to review the permitting process.

At the Sept. 6 Snowflake Town Council meeting, resident Kyle Hiatt said he believes an illegal subdivision is being constructed and said he plans to file a notice of claim. Hiatt told the council he had met with Brian Richards and asked that the building permit be routed to the Planning & Zoning Commission.

Another resident, Sandi Ferrell, urged the council to examine how permits are issued, saying her own variance required extensive steps while another property owner "just has to know a guy," in her view. The comments raised concerns among council members about consistency in permit review and enforcement.

Council members directed staff to look into the permitting process; the record notes the council asked staff to investigate but does not show a formal vote or a deadline for that review.

No additional responses or formal enforcement actions are recorded in the transcript; Hiatt said he will file a notice of claim.
