Commission approves Roberts subdivision amendment; flags irrigation ditch for further review
Summary
The commission approved SS26-014 to split an existing 10-acre lot into five 2-acre lots in Elwood, subject to geotechnical review and further consideration of a nearby irrigation ditch that may need piped conveyance depending on modification.
The planning commission on June 18 approved application SS26-014, an amended plat converting an existing 10-acre lot at approximately 9310 North 6000 West into five 2-acre lots in the Elwood area, subject to conditions.
Staff said the building-permit department requires a geotechnical and soils report. Commissioner Brandon East raised a standing concern about an irrigation ditch near the subdivision: "open ditches are not allowed within 30 feet of a subdivision. If the ditch is within 30 feet of the subdivision, the ditch needs to be piped," he said, and noted state-code interpretation affecting whether piping is required if the ditch is unmodified. Commissioners added a condition to give further consideration to the irrigation ditch and required compliance with Utah State Code Sections 17-79-711 and 712.
The motion to approve was made by Commissioner Brandon East, seconded by Commissioner Jared Holmgren, and passed unanimously. The applicant must submit the geotechnical report and resolve any ditch-related requirements before plat recording.
