American Fork planners set Nov. 4 hearings on developer guarantees and stormwater

The American Fork Planning Commission will hold two public hearings at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 4 at City Hall, 31 N. Church St., according to a notice posted Oct. 21 on the state's public notice website. ^[1]

The first is on a proposed amendment to Section 17.9 of the city code on the performance guarantees applicants give the city. The change would require that improvements, public or private, be covered, and that a guarantee stay in place for the life of a project, or be renewed if it has an expiration, until the City Council accepts the infrastructure and releases it. It would also keep the improvement warranty in place until the durability period ends, the applicant finishes punch-list items and city staff inspect all public infrastructure, and it sets the required contingency amount. ^[1]

The second is on an update to the city's Storm Water Management Plan for the 2026-2031 permit cycle. The plan sets policies and responsibilities for managing runoff, preventing water pollution and maintaining stormwater infrastructure, and meets state requirements for municipal stormwater permits. The commission will review each item and make a recommendation. Supporting documents are posted on americanfork.gov shortly before the hearing, or available from the city recorder at 801-763-3000. ^[1]
