Commission accepts ADU site plan on existing foundation; water-meter question to be checked

Lois Kunz presented a site plan and an engineer's letter to the Hinckley Planning and Zoning Commission on Aug. 12 proposing an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on an existing foundation at 30 S. 800 W. The engineer's written statement, as presented to the commission, said the foundation was structurally sound and suitable for construction.

Commission discussion noted two water meters were present on the property; Ms. Kunz stated that she would connect both structures to the single existing meter to avoid the cost of a new water and sewer connection. The commission directed Water Operator Dillon Lewis to check the second meter and advise what would be required to remove it from the property if appropriate. Commission Member Joy Partridge moved to accept the site plan for the ADU on the existing foundation; Commission Member Crista Kaman seconded the motion. The transcript records the motion and second but does not include a recorded vote tally.

The minutes do not specify any permit conditions or connection fees; the applicant will need to follow town permitting procedures and any water-utility requirements identified by the water operator.
