Lorena Iorg spoke on behalf of Beth Iorg via Zoom in opposition. She wants something in place to protect the spring, which they feel is their only other option for water. They are afraid they won’t be able to get water if something happens to their water well.

Max Giles of Larsen Springs, Hanna, Utah, spoke in opposition. The spring is on Mr. Bell’s property. If the rezoning request is approved, he suggested moving the drain field. He also suggested the County look at the area before making a decision.

Stephanie Wade of Herriman, Utah, asked who would regulate the standards to protect the water from contamination. Director Hyde answered that TriCounty Health would enforce the standards.

Mathew Bell of Stansbury Park, Utah, stated he would like to develop the spring properly. A board of directors could be put together to oversee the development.

Commissioner Killian asked why the staff didn’t approve the variance instead of proposing the rezoning request. Director Hyde stated they prefer lots not to be bisected by a road.

Rick Giles of Spanish Fork, Utah, asked if they would approve the variance for other lots bisected by the North Fork Road if it is approved.

Max Giles of Larsen Springs Hanna, Utah, recommended not approving the rezoning request, and Mr. Bell sell it as a 5-acre lot.

Commissioner Hansen seconded the motion. Commissioner Miles voted aye, Commissioner Hansen voted aye, and Commissioner Killian voted nae. The motion passed by majority.
