County code bans protection strips and bars site preparation before final plat approval
Summary
The Code disallows protection strips or remnant parcels that could act as protection strips and forbids excavation, grading or utilities for proposed subdivisions until the Development Review Committee gives final plat approval.
The Box Elder County Code contains two separate restrictions aimed at managing subdivision layout and construction sequencing. First, the code states plainly that "Protection strips shall not be permitted under any circumstances," preventing leftover parcels or strips that could be used to block access or encumber adjoining land.
Second, the code prohibits any excavation, grading, installation of utilities or other improvements for a proposed subdivision or subdivision phase prior to final plat approval by the Development Review Committee. The prohibition is designed to ensure that final plat review and all required conditions are satisfied before on-the-ground work and infrastructure installation begin. The transcript presents the Code text rather than a contemporaneous decision or enforcement action.
