Bundy site plan tabled after county septic and fire‑protection concerns; commissioners set July 16 follow‑up
Summary
The Planning Commission tabled the site plan for Darwin and Lesa Bundy at 383 West Big Spring Drive to allow Utah County Environmental Health and fire‑protection engineering reviews; the commission requested engineered drawings and will revisit the item July 16.
At the July 1, 2026 Planning Commission meeting the commission reviewed a site‑plan application for a new residence at 383 West Big Spring Drive submitted by Darwin and Lesa Bundy and represented by Grant Peterson. Commissioners agreed the site plan could not be finalized until septic and fire‑protection issues were resolved.
Grant Peterson presented an affidavit from Darwin Bundy asserting that the proposed residence would comply with applicable state, county and local septic requirements and noted prior contact with Utah County Environmental Health. Peterson said county staff recommended relocating the existing septic system farther from the protected water source rather than reusing the current system; the applicants own property to the north that could accommodate a relocated system.
Commissioners discussed fire protection options, including extending a water line and installing a fire hydrant near the residence, which could also benefit a nearby Town chlorination facility. Mayor Hollie McKinney told the Commission that any hydrant location or water‑line extension would require review and approval by the Town's water engineer and professionally prepared engineering drawings before the proposal could be evaluated; commissioners also discussed residential sprinklers as an alternative if a hydrant extension proved impractical.
Attorney Brad Christopherson advised the Commission against granting conditional approval while the septic and fire‑protection questions remained unresolved. Commissioners emphasized their desire to expedite the applicant's progress but concluded that outstanding engineering reviews and county approvals must be complete before returning the site plan for final consideration.
Commissioner Kyler Fisher moved to table the Darwin and Lesa Bundy site plan until the July 16, 2026 Planning Commission meeting to allow the remaining septic and fire‑protection issues to be resolved; Commissioner Kelton Butterfield seconded. The motion passed unanimously among present commissioners; Commissioner Jamie Mascaro was recorded absent.
The item will return to the commission on July 16, 2026 with required engineering documentation and county confirmation of septic compliance for final consideration.
