Planning commission refers three Huntington-area code violations to county attorney
Summary
The commission reviewed complaints about occupied trailers and site conditions at properties owned by Hilliard, Johnson and Christiansen, heard staff and health-department follow-up, and voted unanimously to ask the county attorney to pursue code enforcement.
The Emery County Planning Commission voted to ask the county attorney to pursue enforcement at three properties near Huntington after staff and health-department follow-up.
Zoning administrator Jim Jennings reported he and health-department staff visited the Johnson property after seeing power work and a foundation pad; the building department issued a stop-work order pending clarification. Jennings said he spoke with a resident who said the trailer and equipment on the site belonged to him and that he had permission from the owner; staff remain uncertain whether the locations meet permanent-residency and code requirements. "They decided to do a stop work order till they found out what was going on," Jennings said.
Commissioners described previous complaints at the Hilliard and Christiansen sites, discussed the limits of the planning commission’s enforcement powers, and recommended referring all three properties to the county attorney for legal follow-up. Commissioner Tyler Jeffs moved to send the cases to legal, a motion seconded by Bart Cox; the vote was unanimous.
