Levan planners signal road dedication, not flag-lot split, for 450 South 100 West

The Levan Planning Commission on Feb. 4 advised that a proposal to subdivide a flag lot at roughly 450 South 100 West would likely require a road dedication rather than approval of a flag lot or cul‑de‑sac.

Meadow Perides, a real-estate agent appearing for a client, presented a hand-drawn map showing two parcels described in the presentation as a 0.9‑acre lot fronting the road and a 1.29‑acre lot behind it and asked whether the property could be subdivided for two single‑family homes. Perides said the rear parcel is about 12 feet short of the frontage needed for two east‑facing lots and asked about water, power, gas and impact fees.

Chair Nathan Washer told Perides the town’s general plan envisions continued grid‑pattern street extension in that area and noted the plat shows a dedicated 66‑foot right‑of‑way continuing north from 100 West. Commissioners said that configuration suggests the lot was intended for future road continuation and that a flag lot would not be recommended without a mitigating circumstance. They said a cul‑de‑sac would conflict with the general plan and that a second buildable lot would likely require acquiring additional frontage from an adjacent property owner or dedicating right‑of‑way for a road extension.

Commission discussion also covered infrastructure responsibilities. Chair Washer said water and electric mains lie on the far side of 100 West and that any developer would be responsible for running connections; he advised that the water line would likely need to be built to main‑infrastructure standards rather than a single‑home tap and that final sizing should be confirmed with the water superintendent, Jason. The presentation cited impact‑fee estimates of about $13,476 for water and $5,316 for electric.

The commission concluded the item would require a road dedication rather than a flag‑lot or cul‑de‑sac arrangement and that, absent additional frontage, only a single home is the likely practical outcome. No formal vote was taken; the guidance was preliminary.

Note on parcel sizes: the presentation lists component parcel sizes as 0.9 acres and 1.29 acres but also describes total acreage as approximately 1.38 acres. Those component figures do not sum to the stated total; the parcel areas should be confirmed with the applicant prior to any formal application or platting step.
