   Hidden Canyon Plat D preliminary subdivision, 100 single-family lots, north of Fox Canyon Road

   Tabled · 5-0

   Matthew Loveland of Fieldstone Homes said the trail location complies with the area plan and is only 3 feet wider than a sidewalk (8 feet versus 5), and that a traffic study shows it is safe. Council members said they had received emails and calls about safety of a trail in front of homes. The HOA representative said the HOA does not want to maintain an asphalt trail that crosses driveways and was concerned about easements. A recent homeowner raised density and school capacity, and resident Rob Ludlow said the trail would cross 16 driveways. Community Development Director Kim Struthers said the developer may use its allowed density and that setbacks and right of way meet the area plan. Options discussed included moving the trail behind the homes or to the other side of the road. The council tabled the plan and asked the applicant to consider other trail designs and address the easement and right-of-way concerns.

   Hidden Canyon Plat D preliminary subdivision, 100 lots, north of Fox Canyon Road

   Approved · 3-2

   Struthers presented three trail options: keep the trail along Fox Canyon Road as proposed, cross the road and tie into the existing trail, or improve a trail next to the curb and gutter. He preferred the first, with the developer keeping driveways at least 20 feet from the back of the trail within a city right of way. Fieldstone's Matthew Loveland committed to the staff-recommended setback. Council Members Condie and Southwick explored flipping the layout to the opposite side of the street. Residents Carl Karren and Rob Ludlow wanted the 18-foot easement the code calls for and objected to driveways crossing the trail; Joe Morrison feared parking problems; Chris Brown urged redesign for safety. City Attorney Ryan Wood and Struthers said the proposal meets code, though there are arguments otherwise. Koivisto wanted on record that a better compromise was possible; Southwick said the developer worked with staff on a reasonable solution.
