Uniontown council approves Sunrise Meadows plat and Tarragon annexation, rejects one annexation and OKs VFW lease amendment
Summary
At its May 11 meeting, the Uniontown City Council approved the Sunrise Meadows final plat and the Tarragon annexation, rejected the Kazer Mezic annexation petition, and authorized a temporary lease amendment with VFW Post 1949 to relocate senior-center programming during renovations.
Uniontown’s City Council on May 11 approved a final plat for a 28-lot subdivision, accepted one annexation petition after modification, rejected another annexation petition, and authorized a short-term lease amendment with VFW Post 1949 to temporarily relocate senior-center programming.
City staff presented the Sunrise Meadows final plat (Resolution 18-75). Chris Bass (speaker 6) said Sunrise Meadows LLC and JMP 2 Properties LLC satisfied the conditions of an earlier preliminary-plat approval (ordinance 27-88), that streets, sidewalks, utilities and required certificates are in place, and that performance and maintenance bonds have been posted. Council voted to approve Resolution 18-75.
The council considered two separate annexation petitions. For Resolution 18-76 (the Kazer Mezic annexation), staff recommended a modification to include additional parcels to make an 11-parcel, roughly 20-acre area, but after debate the motion to approve the modified annexation failed and the resolution did not pass.
On Resolution 18-77 (the Tarragon annexation), staff reported the petition received March 24 and recommended modifying the request to six parcels (about 18 acres) to regularize the city boundary. Supporters at the podium included Alex Campbell (speaker 9), who emphasized the opportunity to extend utilities and road connections, and a representative for the applicant who reiterated the proposer’s offer to reimburse city review costs. After discussion, the council approved Resolution 18-77 (recorded in the meeting as five yes, one no).
Council also approved Resolution 18-78, an amendment to the city’s lease with VFW Post 1949 that gives the city temporary exclusive use of the VFW Hall from June 1 through Sept. 30 to accommodate senior-center programming during structural upgrades at the senior center. Parks Director Alina Hibbs (speaker 13) told council the city will compensate the VFW $6,800 from the project budget and will absorb minor accessibility upgrades; no additional funds are required.
Votes at a glance - Resolution 18-75 (Sunrise Meadows final plat): approved (voice vote; specific tally not recorded in the transcript). - Resolution 18-76 (Kazer Mezic annexation): failed (motion did not pass; specific tally not recorded). - Resolution 18-77 (Tarragon annexation, modified to six parcels): approved (meeting record: five yes, one no). - Resolution 18-78 (VFW lease amendment #2): approved (voice vote; specific tally not recorded).
Why this matters The council’s approvals move a 28-lot subdivision closer to final development and add roughly 18 acres to city limits through the Tarragon annexation, with implications for utility extension, tax base and future development. The VFW lease amendment ensures continuity of senior-center services while the city completes upgrades.
What happened next Council recessed into a short executive session later in the meeting to discuss Climate Commitment Act auction bidding strategy; the meeting returned and adjourned. Any further steps on the approved plats or annexations will follow the city’s standard permitting and boundary-review processes.
