Chipman/Stake Center annexation petition, 510 S. 100 West (23.991 acres)
Approved · 3-0
Resolution 2026-07-33R accepts a petition filed July 6 by the Chipman Family Trust, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, John D. and Elaine Watson, and American Fork City to annex about 24 acres for a single-family development and a stake center; each owner will submit separate development applications. The annexation had started earlier but was restarted because of the time elapsed and the need for agreements among all owners. City Administrator David Bunker said property swaps were not yet complete, that acceptance starts a 30-day protest period, and that no development would be reviewed until annexation is final. Councilmember Ernie John noted the American Fork River runs through the area.

Chipman and Stake Center #2 annexation and PR-3.0 zoning, about 100 W. 700 South
Recommended for approval · 7-0
About 24 acres of unincorporated land near 100 West 700 South, including the Chipman parcels, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints property where a meetinghouse is proposed, city-owned land and an extension of 700 South, would be annexed and zoned PR-3.0 (planned residential). Applicants are Devin Chipman, Mike Davey and American Fork City. Patrick O'Brien said the annexation agreement, including a sale of city-owned parcels to Leroy Love and Devin Chipman with right-of-way dedications, is largely settled; the agreement limits development to single-family detached homes with no additional density, though homes may be clustered because of the American Fork River and unusable land east of it. Surrounding land is low-density residential. No one spoke at the hearing. The City Council approved the annexation 5-0 on Sept. 8, according to the American Fork Citizen.
- Applicants: Devin Chipman, Mike Davey, American Fork City
- Acres: about 24
- Current: unincorporated (county) → proposed PR-3.0
- Use limit: single-family detached homes only, per annexation agreement
- Includes proposed LDS meetinghouse and 700 South extension
- Public hearing: no comments
- Council approved annexation 5-0 Sept. 8 (American Fork Citizen)
