Box Elder planning commission recommends approval of Big B subdivision minor plat and related annexation
Summary
The Box Elder Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of Minor Plat 240343 and Annexation 240356 to create three parcels in the Big B subdivision and enable municipal water service for contiguous lots; staff noted on-site septic is required until sewer is available.
On Oct. 28, 2024, the Box Elder Planning and Zoning Commission voted to forward a recommendation of approval to city council for Minor Plat 240343 and for Annexation 240356, actions tied to a proposal to split an existing extraterritorial parcel into three lots in the Big B subdivision.
Planner Michelle Clavadach told the commission that the applicants’ plat meets the minimum one-acre lot size for General Residential District 1 and the 100-foot minimum lot frontage. She said the area has no sewer mains and that “they will have to do private on-site septic systems.” Clavadach also noted a 12-inch water main along Tower Road that the properties could access, and that the applicants filed the annexation in part because of a moratorium on providing city water to properties outside municipal limits.
“The staff does consider this to be consistent with the adopted minor plat regulations, and we do recommend approval of this minor plat,” Clavadach said.
During a brief clarification, builder adviser Dean Hedrick asked why Lot 5 was excluded from the annexation request. Clavadach replied that Lot 3 is already contiguous to city boundaries and was required for the annexation; Lot 5 was not included and “if they do want water on that lot, in the future, they will have to annex at that time,” she said.
Commissioners moved and seconded the motions to approve the minor plat and the annexation and then conducted roll-call votes. Both motions passed; the clerk recorded all present commissioners voting in favor.
Under staff findings, the annexation petition included signatures representing at least 75% of the territory’s value, and the city clerk’s office reported no registered voters on the properties, so no additional voter signatures were required. Clavadach reminded the commission that city nuisance, building and addressing rules would apply to annexed properties once they are inside municipal limits.
The commission’s recommendation will be transmitted to the City Council for final consideration. The commission adjourned at 7:36 p.m.
