Commission gives contingent approval for accessory building at 565 East Platte Lane

The Mona Planning and Zoning Commission agreed April 1 to approve an accessory building permit for a property at 565 East Platte Lane, but the approval was made contingent on checking whether a future road alignment or county right‑of‑way affects the proposed building site.

Staff described the application and said the proposed accessory structure measured roughly 50 by 25 feet and that Lane had signed off on the paperwork. A committee member flagged a potential problem: the west side of the property may be within a proposed road corridor or right‑of‑way. "If they build it 5 feet from the property line, it'll be 5 feet from the road when you put the road in someday," the committee member said, urging the commission to check master‑plan records.

The chair proposed amending the earlier motion to make approval contingent on confirmation there is no deeded right‑of‑way or county interest that would conflict with the building permit. The commission approved the contingency and directed staff to research the county and master‑plan right‑of‑way records and return confirmation to the commission. The transcript records members moved and seconded the amended motion and recorded affirmative votes, but it does not provide a full roll‑call tally in the record.

Why it matters: the contingency prevents the town from issuing a permit that would conflict with a potential future roadway alignment or county right‑of‑way, protecting both the property owner and municipal infrastructure plans. Staff said applicants will still need to sign required paperwork and pay fees once staff confirms the right‑of‑way status.

Next steps: staff will locate and review the master traffic plan and county deed records and report back; the approval remains contingent until staff confirms there is no conflicting deeded right‑of‑way.
