Agenda, item by item
Item 19.A · Development
Eagle Heights Village master development agreement amendment
Denied · 3-2
Tayler Jensen presented Option 1 (split duplex lots into single-family lots for 148 lots with minimum 4,238 square feet and 52 to 56 foot frontages) and Option 2 (148 zero-lot-line twin homes). Council Member Jared Gray said the applicant had not incorporated council feedback and wanted larger lots and a pool for future duplex units. Applicant representative Kirt Peterson preferred the single-family option for affordability and asked for tabling. Council Member Carolyn Love opposed reduced frontages; Council Member Donna Burnham preferred individually owned twin homes but raised rental concerns; Council Member Brett Wright opposed exemptions to RC standards; Council Member Colby Curtis opposed added density. City Attorney Jeremy Cook said denial would not prevent a new application. Wright moved to deny rather than table; Burnham and Gray voted no.
- Lots: 148 in phases 3-5
Item 17.B · Zoning
Browns Meadow rezone
Approved with conditions · 5-0
The land is zoned Agricultural with a general plan designation of Agricultural Rural Density Two and Neighborhood Residential One, and the request is RD1 with about one-acre lots; the Planning Commission recommended approval with two-acre lots abutting northern properties. Residents Kathryn Richards, Elizabeth Lebrecht and Amy Saunders asked that transitions to neighboring Utah County parcels be enforced to protect property and animal rights. Cook suggested RA2 zoning, tabling or one-acre lots; applicant representatives Brett Lovell and Howard Schmidt agreed to transitions but said two-acre lots would not help buffering. The council approved RD1 contingent on a development agreement and asked the applicant to revise the plat.
Item 15.A · Subdivision
Parkway Fields Phase B preliminary plat
Approved with conditions · 5-0
Planning Manager Robert Hobbs presented 234 lots on about 75 acres. Steve Mumford noted the south side of George Washington Drive exceeds the 800-foot block maximum without a connection. Applicant representative Bronson Tatton agreed to narrow some frontages. The council set a 60-foot minimum frontage so a 20-foot connection fits, and approved with two 20-foot mid-block trails (George Washington Drive to Declaration Park, and Declaration Park to Benjamin Franklin Drive), north-side frontages on Benjamin Franklin Drive of at least 60 feet, and the park plan excluded.
- Acres: about 75
- Lots: 234
