Developer asks Parowan for flexibility on Legacy B Estates; council says bring concrete proposals

Dan Jessen summarized outstanding negotiation points for the Legacy B Estates PUD: road width and whether the city would accept maintenance responsibility for nonstandard roads, open-space and fence requirements tied to the fence ordinance, and requests for relief from water impact fees and water-rights exaction. Braden Swanson, representing Legacy B Estates, outlined the project's structure (roughly 15 acres with about 10 acres of purchasable lots and 5 acres leased) and argued the development could create at least 10 construction jobs and support school and tax revenues while helping address first-time-buyer affordability.

Swanson asked the council to consider tools such as lower per-door water allocation, grant sponsorship, or negotiated exaction relief and said the project was not "seeking a giveaway from the city, but rather creative partnership to ensure costs could be kept low enough to serve the market of younger families and tradespeople." Council members generally expressed willingness to review specific, concrete proposals and noted any relief would need to be defensible and equitable relative to other developers. No action was taken; the PUD remains under negotiation.
