Kanosh holds public hearing on adopting 2024 Wildland Urban Interface Code
Summary
Kanosh Town held a May 14, 2026 public hearing on adopting the 2024 Wildland Urban Interface Code as an ordinance. Mayor Wenda Crabb explained the proposal; a resident asked clarification questions answered by Council Member Dan DeGraffenried, and no public comments were recorded.
Kanosh, Utah — Kanosh Town held a public hearing on May 14, 2026, to receive public comment on adopting the 2024 edition of the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Code as an ordinance. The meeting took place at 6:30 p.m. at the town office, 55 North Main Street.
Mayor Wenda Crabb opened the hearing and explained the proposed ordinance and its purpose, referencing a document titled "WUI Ordinance Overview & Explanation" that was provided to attendees. She listed the council members and staff present: Council Members Dan DeGraffenried, Brian Batt, Josh Whitaker and Tim White, and Town Clerk Kacie Whatcott.
Resident Dave Hatton asked clarification questions about the ordinance, which Council Member Dan DeGraffenried addressed, referring to the materials provided. No other public comments were offered following the mayor’s presentation and the clarification exchange.
Because this proceeding was a public hearing to gather comment, the council did not record a vote or final action on the ordinance during the session. The meeting adjourned at approximately 6:46 p.m.
Why it matters: The Wildland Urban Interface Code is intended to reduce wildfire risk by establishing building- and site-related standards in areas where structures meet wildland vegetation. Adopting the 2024 edition would align local rules with the more recent model code language; the hearing provided a formal opportunity for residents to ask questions before any formal ordinance action.
Next steps: The transcript and the provided overview document are part of the public record; the council may schedule further consideration, a first reading, or a vote at a subsequent meeting (none occurred at this hearing).
