Council considers rezoning Kap Legacy Subdivision; developer agrees to widen collector road
Summary
The council debated rezoning 27.6 acres for the Kap Legacy Subdivision and heard a developer offer to build a 78-foot right-of-way collector road; a motion to approve with that amendment was made but the excerpted transcript does not record the final vote.
Council discussion on Jan. 14 focused on a rezoning request for the Kap Legacy Subdivision, a roughly 27.6-acre parcel proposed to change from Agriculture to Residential Moderate. The Planning Commission had recommended approval; the council's discussion centered on transportation connections and the physical capacity of Old Fort Road and nearby links to South Weber Drive.
City Engineer Brandon Jones explained the city's road standards and how the proposed connections relate to the Transportation Master Plan. He said the city standard right-of-way is 70 feet with 36 feet of asphalt, while the collector identified in the Transportation Plan would require a 78-foot right-of-way and about 50 feet of asphalt. Kamry Dyer, representing the developer (Keith Kap & Sons), told the council the developer is willing to widen the road to a 78-foot right-of-way.
Councilman Blair Halverson said he would support higher density if the developer agreed to widen Old Fort Road to the 78-foot collector standard; he moved to approve Ordinance 2025-03 with that amendment. Councilman Joel Dills asked to see a site plan; staff displayed a concept plan for council review. The transcript excerpt ends before a recorded final vote on the rezoning.
The discussion also noted that utilities appeared sufficient to serve additional homes, and that one nearby road (7240 South) is scheduled for disconnection from South Weber Drive when the collector is in place. If approved with the developer's road commitment, the rezoning would bind the developer to construct a larger collector-style right-of-way as part of subdivision improvements.
