January 17, 2023, 4:00 p.m. · Eagle Mountain City Council Chambers, 1650 E Stagecoach Run, Eagle Mountain, Utah
After a motion to approve the Lone Tree Phase F, Plat 3 preliminary plat failed 2-3, the council voted unanimously to table it so the applicant can draft a wildlife corridor easement and meet the 30-home dead-end street limit. It voted 4-1 to table a 4,000 acre-foot water supply agreement with Oquirrh Wood Ranch, LLC to a January 24 special session. The work session heard the 2022 audit and a Chamber of Commerce report.

Agenda, item by item
Item 13.A · Subdivision
Lone Tree Phase F, Plat 3 preliminary plat
Tabled · 5-0
The plat would add 22 homes (Plat F-1 has 21 lots; F-2 has 18 lots plus a detention and open space lot) to a dead-end street that already serves ten homes on Walnut Drive, exceeding the 30-home limit. The road grade is below the 12 percent maximum and roads meet the prior 53-foot width standard; the plat needs 3,920 additional square feet of open space and eight amenity points or a $18,307.90 fee in lieu, and Rosewood Drive would connect to Circle 5 Ranch when that area develops. The Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions. Council Member Colby Curtis objected to exceeding the home limit, a cul-de-sac over 400 feet and the added lots; Council Member Jared Gray wanted proof of adequate building envelopes and wider roads; Council Member Brett Wright supported it with a wildlife corridor. Residents at the hearing raised wildlife corridor preservation, a secondary exit before homes are built, turn radius on Walnut Drive and blasting; the developer agreed not to blast. A motion by Burnham to approve with a wildlife corridor easement in place of the fee failed 2-3 (Burnham and Love yes). Wright then moved to table so the applicant can draft easement language for lots 313 and 314 and adjust the plan to meet the 30-home limit.
- Fee$18,308
- Lots: 21 in F-1 and 18 in F-2
- Fee in lieu of open space: $18,307.90
- Dead-end limit: 30 homes
Item 15.A · Contract
Public water supply agreement, Oquirrh Wood Ranch, LLC
Tabled · 4-1
Applicant Nate Shipp requested 3,000 acre-feet through a Central Utah Water Conservancy District agreement plus 1,000 acre-feet from the city's existing contract, a total of 4,000 acre-feet, buying 330 acre-feet a year for nine years starting in 2024, contingent on district approval. Council Members Carolyn Love and Wright had unresolved concerns with the draft, Council Member Donna Burnham preferred tabling to denial and Curtis was ready to vote. The applicant needed a decision that day because of the water request deadline. The council tabled the agreement to a special session on January 24, 2023.
- Water: 4,000 acre-feet total; 330 acre-feet a year for nine years from 2024
Item 10.A · Budget
Fiscal year 2022 audit
Approved · 5-0
Auditor Ron Stewart of Gilbert and Stewart CPAs found the financial statements reliable and internal controls adequate. Expenditures exceeded budget in several funds and departments, and general fund revenues exceeded the allowable balance limit. Federal funds over $750,000 were properly allocated to the sewer treatment plant. The auditor recommended budget amendments and allocating general fund balances to future projects. Accepted on the consent agenda.

Residents spoke from 7:19 to 7:40 p.m. One asked to remove an unneeded stop sign at Bobby Wren Boulevard and Roost Road. Others raised wildlife corridor preservation, a secondary exit before homes are built in Lone Tree Phase F Plat 3, turn-radius concerns on Walnut Drive and blasting near homes. Staff answered on cul-de-sac turn radius, timing of the stop sign removal and snow removal figures (850 tons of salt and 5,932 miles driven in December). Council Member Gray attended electronically. The minutes mark the roll call for adjournment inconsistently with the stated unanimous vote.
