Commission approves Willards Farm subdivision with masonry‑vinyl fence compromise
Summary
The Planning Commission approved a five‑lot preliminary subdivision near 3100 West and 13400 South, requiring masonry fencing on the west lot line of Lot 4 where animals could access the boundary and allowing vinyl fencing elsewhere; staff noted private lanes, underground water storage, and HOA maintenance.
The Riverton Planning Commission approved the preliminary plan for the Willards Farm subdivision (near 3100 West and 13400 South), finding the five‑lot layout met R‑3 minimum lot sizes and that private utilities and a private lane with homeowner‑association maintenance were acceptable. The approval included an amendment requiring a 6‑foot masonry fence along the west lot line of Lot 4 where animal access is possible and allowing the proposed two‑tone vinyl fence on remaining lot lines to match adjacent character.
Staff walked the commission through the plat and explained that the developer proposed underground water storage tanks and a private lane (26 feet wide) that would not be maintained by the city. The applicant, Alan Prince, framed the masonry/vinyl hybrid as a compromise that protects neighbors’ animals while avoiding a blanket costly masonry requirement across all lots; "we would be willing to agree to put a, a 6 foot masonry fence coming off the north boundary and down to the backside of Lot 4," he said. One commissioner recorded a dissenting 'nay' during the roll call, but the motion carried with the stated fencing amendment and standard conditions.
