Feb 18, 2026

The council reviewed plans from the McKendricks to build on the Hiner parcel; town staff said the subdivision ordinance requires dedication of the road, but owners call it a private lane. Members discussed Utah statute on prescriptive dedication, utility access, and possible gate options.
