Council confirms cul‑de‑sac length and secondary access options for Ward site
Summary
Council and staff confirmed the proposed cul‑de‑sac measures under the 600‑foot city standard when measured to the planned stub road, and members identified a stub toward the Stake Center and ongoing emergency‑access applications with UDOT as ways to address access concerns.
Council members and staff scrutinized access to the Ward property, focusing on whether a single access and the cul‑de‑sac length meet city code. Staff confirmed the code measures cul‑de‑sac length to the nearest intersection (600 feet); when measured to the planned stub (1000 West), the distance is under that limit.
"Our code says the cul de sac can't be longer than 600 feet...When that property's developed, it will be forced to put it in," Presenter (S3) noted, describing the city road plan. Participants also noted an existing stub near the Stake Center and an application for secondary emergency access is in process with the state (UDOT/UTA), which staff said should alleviate the safety concerns if approved.
The conversation resolved the immediate measurement question but left follow‑up engineering work pending to confirm exact alignment, rights‑of‑way and whether neighboring subdivisions will provide matching stubs for through connections.
