Council grants final approval to Homestead Golf Cottages and Homes with conditions
Summary
The Midway City Council granted final approval for The Homestead Golf Cottages and Homes (five single‑family homes and two condominium buildings) and approved a second plat map amendment that sets condominium building pads, limits building height to 35 feet, and removes three cul‑de‑sac parking stalls.
Midway City Council on July 7 granted final approval for The Homestead Golf Cottages and Homes and approved a second plat map amendment that clarifies building pads and enforces conditions on height and parking.
Community Development Director Michael Henke said the proposal remains consistent with the Homestead Master Plan and includes five single‑family homes plus two condominium buildings (hotel‑style units without kitchens recorded as condominiums to enable separate ownership). Staff confirmed the development complies with density, building area and height limits and noted required dedication of 3.2 acre‑feet of water rights before recording of the final plat.
Council members and the developer discussed access and parking. The five single‑family homes will access the Links development under an existing easement; condominium unit parking will be provided within the Homestead resort and served by golf‑cart transportation. The Links at Homestead HOA and the Homestead developer finalized an MOU to clarify shared operations and maintenance responsibilities.
The Council approved final plat conditions: completion of required parking before certificates of occupancy, compliance with Midway lighting standards, and dedication of required water rights. In a related motion, the Council approved a second plat map amendment imposing a 35‑foot maximum height on condominium buildings and removing three cul‑de‑sac parking stalls previously shown on the plat. Both votes passed unanimously.
During the public hearing, resident Rob Johansson asked how long‑term roadway maintenance and enforcement of access restrictions for condominium guests would be handled; The Links’ representative said the MOU provides a cost‑sharing approach and the Homestead will provide guest instructions, signage, security and year‑round golf‑cart service to discourage vehicle access to the cul‑de‑sac.
The Council’s approvals were contingent on the stated conditions and the plat revisions required by the Council.
