Council adopts Blue Jay Way dedication to formalize access for Timbercrest subdivision
Summary
The council voted unanimously to dedicate a portion of Blue Jay Way to provide official access to the Timbercrest subdivision and to allow a property owner to run water and sewer lines in the town right-of-way; the Town will convey part of Lot 4 to the Davies family to preserve lot size.
The Brian Head Town Council on April 28 adopted an ordinance dedicating a portion of Blue Jay Way to formalize the connection between Blue Jay Way and Granite Court and provide official access to the Timbercrest subdivision.
Planning & Building Administrator Greg Sant described the background: Timbercrest was annexed without a direct road connection to the existing network; an easement existed but a formal right‑of‑way is needed for utilities. Town Manager Bret Howser said the Davies family cooperated to convert the easement to a right‑of‑way and that the Town will convey a portion of town‑owned Lot 4 so the Davies’ lot remains approximately the same size after dedication. Council members discussed the proposed 30‑foot right‑of‑way width, noting a written public comment questioned whether 30 feet would support traffic for the subdivision’s 43 homes; staff said 30 feet provides adequate two‑lane traffic and additional snow storage is available on adjacent town property.
Council Member Larry Freeberg moved to adopt ordinance No. 26‑007 dedicating the portion of Blue Jay Way as presented; Council Member Duane Nyen seconded and the motion passed 5‑0.
Why it matters: the dedication formalizes legal access for the Timbercrest subdivision, enables utility work in the right‑of‑way, and aligns the roadway width with adjacent streets. The Council also addressed driveway setback applicability near the curve and confirmed standards are less critical for non‑90‑degree intersections.
What’s next: staff will finalize the legal descriptions and publish the adopted ordinance and map exhibits.
