Planning Commission approves Trestlewood 55+ preliminary plat for ~68 units
Summary
The Vernal Planning Commission approved the Trestlewood preliminary plat, a proposed 55+ development of about 68 units in fourplex buildings (≈5.91 units/acre) with two access points and an annexation completed to enable access to Aggie Boulevard.
The Vernal City Planning Commission voted to approve the Trestlewood Preliminary Plat for properties at 1700 W 750 S (Parcel#:04:031:0008) and 1787 W 319 S (Parcel#:04:133:0029), a proposed 55+ residential development of approximately 68 units arranged as fourplex buildings.
Staff member Braeden Christofferson told the Commission that the development’s density is about 5.91 units per acre, below the R-4 maximum, and that the design includes internal circulation and two access points, one connecting to Aggie Boulevard. Christofferson said zoning, setback and infrastructure requirements had been reviewed and met and that a small annexation to enable Aggie Boulevard access had been completed and recorded with the county.
During public comment resident Jacob Speirs asked why the project’s density was lower than the R-4 allowance. Applicant Branden Kirk responded that "the development was intentionally designed at a lower density to better align with community needs," adding the project aims to provide housing opportunities suited to existing residents rather than higher-density workforce housing. The Commission approved the preliminary plat on a motion by Samantha Chapoose, seconded by Brittany Young.
