Engineer requires surveyor certification before approving Sage Lot 8 near ephemeral stream
Summary
The Planning Commission recommended approval of a land‑use permit for Sage Lot 8 (452 S 7900 E) after the builder agreed to shift the house 5 feet away from the buildable‑envelope edge and accept the town engineer's condition that a surveyor certify foundation footing location outside the stream offset.
The Planning Commission reviewed the Land Use Permit for Sage Lot 8 (452 S 7900 E, Parcel #21-177-0008) after staff and the lot builder addressed concerns about proximity to an ephemeral stream and wetland area.
Town engineer Jared Andersen provided a written recommendation dated March 25, 2026, stating in the memo, "I recommend approval of the building permit with the following conditions: 1. I would recommend the lot owner hire a surveyor to survey the foundation forms when installed to verify the location of the foundation of the home will be outside the offset area. 2. I would also have the surveyor stamp the drawing to certify the location." The builder agreed to move the structure 5 feet farther south to provide additional setback during construction. The Planning Commission (motion by PCM Ahlstrom, second by PCM Vandertoolen) recommended approval with the engineer's stipulation; all commissioners present voted aye.
The engineer's recommended condition requires the owner or contractor to hire and submit a certified survey of the footing location before final permit acceptance; the motion recorded in the minutes directs the contractor to provide that documentation to the town.
