Commissioner Greg Miles, Commissioner Tracy Killian, Deputy Attorney Tyler Allred, Community Development Director Mike Hyde, Community Development Deputy Director Mike Gottfredson, Mike Hawley with Jones & DeMille Engineering, Community Development Zoning Specialist Shon McKinnon, Duchesne County Resident Bob Hamlet, and Commission Executive Assistant Melissa Hughes is taking the meeting minutes.
Commissioner Miles opened the public hearing.
Community Development Director Mike Hyde introduced Duchesne County Resident Bob Hamlet and explained the request. Lots 416, 434, 542, and 543 of the Pinon Ridge Subdivision, Plat #1, have an undeveloped, 50-foot-wide public right-of-way bisecting them. The owner, Mr. Hamle, would like to assemble the four 1/4th-acre lots (plus one additional lot not abutting the right-of-way) and the right-of-way into one new building site.
Good cause exists for granting the right-of-way vacation request. No road or utility improvements have been placed in this right-of-way since it was platted in 1963. Site photos show a steep slope within the right-of-way. Utility companies can provide service now or in the future to the nearby lots from Jensen Road and Alpine Street. No objections have been received from Dominion Energy, Moon Lake Electric, Strata Networks, or the Pinion Forest Special Service District.
The proposed ordinance was reviewed during a public hearing conducted by the Planning Commission on October 2, 2024. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of Ordinance #24-413.
Mr Hamlet stated that only a four-wheeler could drive on the right-of-way.
The parties discussed the ordinance and location. The only concern was future growth; this right of way vacation should not affect it.
Commissioner Miles closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Killian made a motion that the Commission adopt the findings recommended by the Planning Commission and approve Ordinance #24-413.
