Mona planning commission approves accessory building permit at 455 East Platte Lane with footing-inspection condition

The Mona City Planning and Zoning Commission voted June 3 to approve an accessory building permit for property owner Corey Beaulieu at 455 East Platte Lane, conditioning the permit on inspector approval of footing and foundation plans.

Commission leaders said they would allow the applicant to submit engineered footing and foundation plans and require inspection approval before issuing the full permit, a condition intended to reduce the upfront cost burden of purchasing plans before the town formally signs off. “I’ll move to approve on the condition that footing and foundation plans are received and approved,” the chair said during the motion.

Beaulieu told the commission that water is already stubbed to the rear of the property but that he would need to extend power and sewer from the front of the lot. He described his plan to frame a 24-by-24 accessory structure for storage and light mechanical work and said the building would not be used as a dwelling.

Commission staff asked the applicant to return with any plan changes for staff review and instructed him to sign paperwork acknowledging the building will not be occupied. After the footing and foundation plans are approved by the inspector, the applicant must pay required fees before beginning work.

The action follows routine zoning checks: commissioners confirmed rear and side setbacks and asked staff to verify utility connections, access easements and that the structure complies with zone setbacks before issuing a final permit.

The commission’s approval was a single, conditional motion recorded during the meeting; the chair closed the item after instructing the applicant on next steps.
