Weber County to revise Plain City interlocal agreement for 2200 North; county to lead eminent‑domain work
Summary
County staff told commissioners they will complete piping, road base and 4‑inch asphalt across unincorporated sections of 2200 North and will lead eminent‑domain work on one parcel; Plain City is expected to adopt annexation within 60 days after improvements are complete.
Weber County commissioners heard staff recommendations March 30 to revise the interlocal agreement with Plain City to finish improvements on 2200 North, including drainage piping, road base and a 4‑inch asphalt surface on the unincorporated stretches.
County staff said the piping — 264 linear feet of 18‑inch pipe and two storm boxes — is already installed and the road will be built to the city’s standard specifications and paved to a 4‑inch depth. Because Plain City has not acquired right‑of‑way on the north side, the county plans to limit paving to a 22‑foot width where the county controls the corridor; if the city later secures additional right‑of‑way, staff said the parties will negotiate a paving supplement to widen the road.
Under the proposed edits, the county will take the lead on the condemnation (eminent‑domain) process for one remaining parcel before final width is achieved. Staff emphasized paving work is targeted to be finished by July 1, 2026, and that Plain City has agreed to adopt an annexation ordinance within 60 days after the county completes the improvements for areas the county has already authorized. Commissioners asked how much the eminent‑domain acquisition could cost; staff said the last estimate for the annexed (city) portion was about $6,000 to pave but that the condemnation payment for the outstanding parcel is not yet known and could be larger than for a willing seller.
Commissioners expressed concern that postponing condemnation or delaying action would increase costs; several said completing the work sooner reduces the county’s exposure. After questions, commissioners instructed staff to incorporate the recommended edits, return the revised agreement to Plain City for approval, and bring the modified agreement back to the commission.
What happens next: staff will update the interlocal agreement language, send it to Plain City for review, and return it to the commission for final approval. If condemnation is necessary, a formal resolution to authorize the eminent‑domain work will be brought forward for a future meeting.
