Council approves Sunrise Meadows plat, OKs Tarragon annexation; separate annexation fails, VFW lease amended
Summary
At its May 11 meeting, the Uniontown City Council approved a 28‑lot final plat (Sunrise Meadows), approved the Tarragon annexation (resolution 18‑77), rejected a separate annexation (resolution 18‑76), and authorized a short‑term lease amendment with VFW Post 1949 to accommodate senior‑center renovations.
The Uniontown City Council voted May 11 to approve a 28‑lot final plat for Sunrise Meadows, to approve the Tarragon annexation after staff modifications, to reject a separate annexation petition, and to authorize a short‑term lease amendment with VFW Post 1949 for senior‑center relocation.
City staff told the council that Sunrise Meadows LLC and JMP 2 Properties LLC have satisfied the conditions of preliminary plat ordinance 27‑88 and that infrastructure, bonds and required certificates are in place. A staff representative recommended approval of the final plat map, and council approved resolution 18‑75 by voice vote; the audio transcript records the motion and a subsequent voice vote but does not include a roll‑call tally in the public record.
On two separate annexation petitions, staff described different recommendations. For the Kazer/Mezic petition (resolution 18‑76), staff said the notice of intent filed March 19, 2026, proposed an initial 2‑parcel annexation; staff recommended modifying the boundary to include 11 parcels (~20 acres) to regularize the city boundary and noted an estimated 2026 assessor valuation near $5,000,000. The council considered the resolution but the motion to approve did not pass.
By contrast, the Tarragon petition (resolution 18‑77) — filed March 24, 2026 — originally sought three large vacant parcels and was recommended by staff to be modified to six parcels (approximately 18 acres). Staff estimated the area’s 2026 assessor valuation at roughly $4,000,000; the applicant offered to reimburse city review costs and to pay for consultant work to avoid burdening staff. Council approved resolution 18‑77; the transcript records the motion passing with five yeses and one no.
Council also approved resolution 18‑78, a second amendment to the city’s lease with VFW Post 1949, allowing temporary, mostly exclusive use of the VFW Hall for senior‑center programming during scheduled renovations. Parks Director Alina Hibbs told the council the city will compensate the VFW $6,800, to be absorbed within the renovation project budget, and that small accessibility improvements at the VFW Hall will also be covered from the project funds.
What’s next: annexation petitions will proceed according to state boundary‑review procedures and the council’s direction to staff. Staff noted applicants’ offers to help bear processing costs; where council approved a resolution, staff will prepare the required filings and notices. The council recessed briefly for an executive session on Climate Commitment Act auction‑bid strategy before adjourning at 8:03 p.m.
