Council denies special use permit for pre-built accessory structure at 765 East 750 South
Summary
Preston City Council denied a Special Use Permit request from Scott Madsen to construct an accessory building before the main residence, citing HOA enforcement and potential commercial storage concerns; Mayor Keller cast the tie-breaking Aye vote.
At its April 13 meeting the Preston City Council considered Scott Madsen’s application for a Special Use Permit to construct an accessory building on the lot at 765 East 750 South before building the primary dwelling. Council discussion noted uncertainty about the homeowner association’s enforcement mechanics and concern that the structure could be used to store business equipment, potentially blurring residential-use restrictions in the A1 zone.
After a motion to table the decision failed for lack of a second, Councilmember Todd Thomas moved — and Councilmember Brent Dodge seconded — a motion “to deny Scott Madsen’s request to build an accessory building at 765 East 750 South before the main structure is built.” The roll-call vote recorded Thomas Aye, Larson Nay, Dodge Aye and Larsen Nay; Mayor Dan Keller cast the tie-breaking Aye vote and the motion to deny carried by majority.
