Loading...
Summary
Council approved the consent calendar and four community sponsorships totaling $900, unanimously approved KOA's conversion of tent sites to RV sites, discussed short-term rental permit cap (item tabled), heard a complaint about Scott's Trailer Haven and discussed leash enforcement after a recent animal mauling; the lighting and fireworks ordinances were tabled for future public hearings.
The Town Council approved routine business items and several small donations, unanimously approved a KOA request to convert tent sites to RV sites, and discussed multiple code and ordinance matters that were tabled for future hearings.
Consent and sponsorships: On a motion by Councilmember Bill Rylander and a second by Councilmember Gretchen Northcott, the council approved the consent calendar and later approved a series of community sponsorships: $250 to Cow Country Junior Rodeo, $250 to Cow Country Rodeo, $250 to the DL Invitational, and $150 to the 2026 Daggett Heritage PRCA Rodeo. Each sponsorship vote was unanimous.
KOA site modification: Planning & Zoning recommended approval of KOA representative Tracey Frost’s request to modify existing tent sites to RV sites and discussed associated building-permit requirements; council expressed no concerns and approved the project (motion by Bill Rylander, second by Gretchen Northcott). The council asked staff to ensure applicable permit requirements are met.
Code enforcement and animal control: The council reviewed an anonymous complaint about Scott's Trailer Haven and asked Greg Scott, representing the property, to ask residents to clean up; Mayor Knight will inspect and provide a list of areas needing attention. Mayor Knight also raised a recent incident in which a resident’s animal was badly mauled by two loose dogs and emphasized better enforcement and public awareness of leash laws; she has purchased signs to post that read "animals must be on a leash" with UDOT permission. The lighting ordinance and fireworks ordinance were both tabled for future public hearings.
Short-term rental cap: An agenda item to reconsider the town's 15-unit cap on short-term rental permits (requested by Sharon Cook) was tabled because the applicant was not present.
Next steps: Tabled items will be scheduled for public hearings; staff will process building-permit requirements for KOA’s conversion and follow up on code enforcement at Scott's Trailer Haven.
