Engineer: wetlands on Everest front parcel limit commercial development
Summary
An engineer for the applicant said the front parcel closer to U.S. Highway 92 is largely wetland, limiting commercial build‑out; staff confirmed only a small portion is commercially usable and described allowable uses.
During commissioner questioning about the parcel fronting U.S. Highway 92, Adam Soto of Traditions Engineering said the area proposed for future commercial use is wetland, and that means no development is occurring in that portion. "That area is currently being proposed for future commercial — but that area is also wetland, so no development is occurring in that area," Soto said.
Community Development Director Julie Womble confirmed that only a small portion of the front parcel can be used for commercial purposes and described the allowable uses. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about access and connectivity; Womble noted an easement to Saddle Creek Road will be used for site access and the developer is responsible for connections to U.S. Highway 92.
