JJ Ranches preliminary plat (Pole Canyon)
Tabled · 5-0
The council tabled a plat creating two five-acre lots on 13 acres south of White Hills subdivision, in Pole Canyon Neighborhood Planning Area 4, pending an amendment to the Pole Canyon master development agreement. The City Attorney said the council could approve only with a condition to amend the agreement, and the plat would not be recorded until then. Members raised density transfers to another planning area, drainage near the site and lot-size transitions. Clark favored five-acre lots but worried about density effects across Pole Canyon; Council Member Donna Burnham said the lots would suit neighboring five-acre lots; Curtis suggested approving plats individually rather than using master agreements; Gray suggested shorter terms for such agreements; Love asked for a drainage condition. Gray's motion to approve with a condition to amend the agreement received no second.
- Applicant: James Earl Smith
- Lots: two five-acre lots on 13 acres
- Base density under the master agreement: 5.5 units per acre, up to 20% increase

J&J Ranches preliminary plat and Pole Canyon Fourth MDA amendment
Approved · 5-0
The council approved an amendment to the Pole Canyon master development agreement removing unit-reduction language in recital E and paragraph two, and approved the two-lot plat on 13 acres that it had tabled Feb. 4. The City Attorney said the developer would not agree to reduce density now and that the council had no grounds to deny a plat that otherwise complies.
