Council questions city's role in UDOT agreement for Cole Subdivision temporary access
Summary
Council members raised concerns about contradictory language in a UDOT agreement allowing temporary access to six houses on Highway 89 and requiring a future cul-de-sac, and directed staff to seek clarification from UDOT on the city's expected role.
Mayor Travis Mote told the council about a Utah Department of Transportation agreement that would allow Lew Swain to access six houses off Highway 89 temporarily until a road from the east is built, at which time a cul-de-sac would be required. Council members noted the agreement language was contradictory — saying the city would not issue permits until a cul-de-sac was built while also appearing to allow building with temporary access.
The council agreed the city should not be part of an arrangement that requires monitoring over decades and directed staff to seek clarification from UDOT on why the city was included and what oversight the city would be expected to exercise. No decision to sign or reject the agreement was recorded; staff follow-up was requested.
