Preston council declines bond reduction for Hillside, OKs indoor riding arena permit and starts park master‑plan reviews
Summary
Council declined a developer’s request to reduce a subdivision Letter of Credit, approved a Special Use Permit for an indoor riding arena at 1397 N 8th W, acknowledged RFPs for a 20‑acre recreation master plan, and approved routine business license and LOC release items.
The Preston City Council on Nov. 25 declined a request from developer Mckay Cordner to reduce the Letter of Credit on the Hillside Subdivision, approved a Special Use Permit for an indoor riding arena at 1397 North 8th West, and acknowledged receipt of master‑planning proposals for a 20‑acre recreation property.
Cordner told the council work remaining included laying a 12‑inch pipe across a hollow (estimated two weeks), additional work down 800 East, gas-company coordination and sidewalks. Council members expressed concern about releasing bond funds before improvements are completed and cited the city’s standard practice of requiring bonds at 110% of estimated improvement cost for protection if a developer becomes insolvent. Councilmember Terry Larson calculated a maximum releasable amount of $18,000 and the council voted unanimously to decline the reduction request.
On land‑use matters, Planning and Zoning recommended approval of a Special Use Permit for Sheryl Kimball to build an indoor riding arena at 1397 North 8th West because code treats the structure as an accessory building with no primary residence; the council approved that permit unanimously. Council also acknowledged receipt of Requests for Proposals for master planning services from Method Studios of Salt Lake City and Myers‑Anderson of Pocatello; staff (Councilmember Todd Thomas, Community Development Specialist Shawn Oliverson, and Clerk Linda Acock) were instructed to begin reviewing the proposals.
The meeting record also shows approval of business licenses for Todd Lloyd (Bonneville Services), Justin Lake (Lake, LLC), Shayne Anderson (Ice Scream) and release of 90% of the Letter of Credit for Easton Fellows/Fellows Lane Subdivision in the amount of $33,030.00 as part of the consent calendar.
