Rush Valley Planning & Zoning Commission approves several permits, accepts variance documents for council review
Summary
At its March 4 meeting the Rush Valley Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously approved a set of building permits and conditional‑use permits — including a modular home replacement, two storage sheds, a home meth‑decontamination business and a mobile ice cream truck — and accepted variance documentation for referral to the Town Council.
The Rush Valley Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously approved a series of building and conditional‑use permits at its March 4, 2026 meeting, and accepted required variance documentation from the Vance & Betty Sagers Trust for referral to the Town Council.
Commissioners David Andersen, Scott Hawkins and Paul Bishop were recorded as present. The meeting began at 7:01 p.m. and adjourned at 7:33 p.m.
The commission approved the February 4, 2026 minutes on a motion by Scott Hawkins, seconded by Paul Bishop; all present voted in favor. The commission then approved a building permit for Jason Gabler to replace a single‑wide trailer with a larger double‑wide modular home at 1779 Indian Mountain Road. The minutes state the proposed home "meets HUD requirements" and that formal plans will be submitted next week; the permit was approved on a motion by Scott Hawkins, seconded by Paul Bishop.
A storage‑shed permit for Tyler Kimber at 688 W. Canyon Meadows was approved with a setback condition. The minutes record that staff instructed Kimber to move the shed at least two feet further south than originally planned; the formal approval included a stipulation that the shed be placed at least twenty feet from the property line (motion by Scott Hawkins, second by Paul Bishop).
The commission approved a conditional use permit for Jeff Hearty to operate a home‑based meth decontamination administrative business. According to the minutes, only administrative work will be conducted at the residence, minimal amounts (described as "single‑digit ounces") of analytical‑grade methanol and a commercial water‑based decontamination solution will be stored on site, and no commercial traffic is expected. The permit was approved on a motion by Paul Bishop, seconded by Scott Hawkins.
A conditional use permit for Andrea Steadman to operate a mobile ice cream truck out of a hearse was also approved. The minutes state no business activity will occur at the residence, all ice cream products will be pre‑packaged, and the health department will not be inspecting the business. Paul Bishop moved to approve the permit; Scott Hawkins seconded and the motion carried.
Roger Evans received approval for a pre‑built storage shed at 300 W. Charles Hill; the minutes indicate the placement meets setback requirements and the permit was approved (motion by Scott Hawkins, second by Paul Bishop). Separately, Curtis Sagers submitted all required documentation for a variance for the Vance & Betty Sagers Trust; the minutes say those lot‑line documents are ready to be recorded with Tooele County and will be presented to the Town Council for approval and signature at the March 25 meeting.
No members of the public offered comments during the public comment period. The commission adjourned after approving a motion to adjourn from Scott Hawkins with a second from Paul Bishop.
Next steps noted in the minutes: formal plans for Gabler's modular home to be submitted next week, and the Sagers Trust variance paperwork to be presented to the Town Council at its March 25 meeting.
