Planning commission approves preliminary plan for Mona Commercial development at roughly 600 S Main Street
Summary
The commission granted preliminary approval for the Mona Commercial project at about 600 S Main Street after the applicant addressed prior comments; the approval includes discussion of roadway widening for a potential turn lane, lighting and parking changes, water-rights dedication for later phases, and a recommendation for separate utility meters per unit.
The Mona City Planning & Zoning Commission voted June 3 to grant preliminary approval to the Mona Commercial development at approximately 600 S Main Street.
Applicants Joe Humphrey and Richard Hatfield told the commission they had addressed comments from a prior meeting and sought preliminary approval to proceed with phased construction. Hatfield said the developer intends to lease buildings and construct an initial shell with two or three tenant spaces; bathroom plumbing will be stubbed for each space with tenant-specific interior improvements completed later.
Key points from the technical review included discussion of traffic and roadway improvements, utilities and water rights. Hatfield said he had discussed the project with Lynn Ingram of the County Road Department and that revised plans call for curb and gutter, street lighting and parking restrictions; he said about 20 feet of roadway widening would be available before the curb and gutter, providing space for a potential turn lane. Because the development is private, the commission determined the property owner will be responsible for compaction testing and roadway issues within the development.
The applicants provided estimated water-usage figures but said they had been unable to obtain detailed input from Mona's water consultant, Jonathan Jones; Secretary Lori Henrie said she would verify those estimates with Jones. Humphrey said landscaping would be zero-scaped to avoid irrigation, and Chair Dennis Gardner noted additional water rights will need to be dedicated before Phases 2 and 3 proceed.
On utilities, Councilmember Devan Ingram recommended each unit have separate gas and water meters; the commission agreed. Secretary Henrie noted that Nephi Gas has requested projected gas loads for each unit to produce a cost estimate.
Chair Gardner called for a vote to approve the preliminary application. Commissioner Wayne Hellyer moved to approve; Commissioner Frank Riding seconded and the roll-call vote was unanimous in favor.
What happens next: Preliminary approval allows the developer to move forward with detailed engineering and tenant-fit planning; the commission and staff will continue to verify water usage, meter plans and roadway improvements as part of permit and building review.
