Midway council approves Sunburst Ranch Phase 3 master-plan amendment; requires council review at preliminary and final stages
Summary
Council approved Resolution 2026-15 to amend the Sunburst Ranch PUD master plan for Phase 3, capping phase density at 36 detached units and requiring a north-south public trail easement and emergency-access coordination; council added language clarifying drainage review and asked that preliminary and final approvals return to the council.
The Midway City Council on June 16 approved a master-plan amendment for Sunburst Ranch Phase 3, adopting Resolution 2026-15 with edits discussed at the meeting and a requirement that preliminary and final approvals return to the council.
City staff (Michael and Corbin) reviewed the amended master plan: Phase 3 density was limited to no more than 36 detached single-family units, the total number of units across three phases remained capped at 86, and Open Space 3 must include not less than 8.44 acres. The council and staff clarified that all roads within Phase 2 will remain private and maintained by the homeowners association (HOA), but the north-south connector trail that provides the city's access to the Lundin property will be granted as a public trail easement and maintained by the city.
Staff and council members discussed emergency-access improvements, trail design and the city engineer/fire marshal's role in approving emergency-access facilities. Council also pressed the developer and staff on drainage and runoff: the adopted language requires a drainage plan for Phase 3 that addresses runoff affecting or originating from Swiss Alpine Road and allows engineering review during preliminary and final plan stages to finalize alignments and retention sizing.
The council approved the resolution and recorded 'Aye' votes. The motion included a direction that both preliminary and final approvals must be presented to the council for additional review before final plat approval.
Next steps: the developer will prepare preliminary-engineered drawings and the drainage/trail alignments, subject to the city engineer's review and the requirement that the final plat reflect the public trail easement and the emergency-access location.
