Planning Commission backs Sun Sage Terrace phases 3–6, citing roadway dedications
Summary
The Grantsville Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the Sun Sage Terrace Master Development Agreement and lot layout for phases 3–6, approving slight reductions in a few lot sizes in exchange for full 94-foot collector road dedications and other public benefits.
The Grantsville City Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the Sun Sage Terrace Master Development Agreement (MDA) and lot layout for phases 3–6, a proposal that would dedicate significant roadway rights-of-way in exchange for slightly reduced lot sizes on a limited number of parcels.
Planning and Zoning Administrator Shelby Moore told commissioners the R‑1‑21 zoning standard is one-half‑acre lots (about 21,780 square feet) and that the proposal included Phase 3 with 21 lots, Phase 4 with 36 lots, Phase 5 with 38 lots and Phase 6 with 128 lots. Shelby said a small number of lots measured about 20,000 square feet—marginally under the minimum—while the developer would dedicate the full right-of-way for a 94‑foot collector road and a half‑width for a future 108‑foot Main Street collector.
Commissioners asked whether approving slightly reduced lots would create an undesirable precedent. Community Development Director Bill Cobabe and staff said each application must be judged on its own facts and that the developer’s roadway dedications and other public benefits weighed in favor of approval. Alan Glazer, a nearby property owner, asked how the proposed roadway would relate to his fence line and was shown the alignment on exhibits; staff confirmed he would retain access.
John Montgomery moved to recommend approval; Jason Hill seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
The commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for final review and any required entitlements.
