RANDOLPH,
Utah. March 2, 2016. Mitch Poulsen, Bear Lake Regional Commission, discussed a re-zone from agricultural to
residential, for the Cisco’s Partners Project,Way Point Center, developed by Gary Mckee.
He said that 6 people were
in attendance at a public hearing. Some
were concerned about condos being built and the area fills up with water in
high water years and would it be suitable for residential. Tom Weston suggested that they build a ditch
to take off water. The Planning Commission approved the rezone. The project will have to hook up to sewer
system and apply for water rights to dig a well. There will be four lots and it
will be considered a minor subdivision. It
is located on north east side of lake near Laketown near new bike path. It was approved. The deed will note that it is subject to
seasonal flooding. This will allow family member to own separate lots.
A Way Point
Center grant of $25,000 for extending bike path has been received and now the
county will have a total of $40,000 with other grants received. From Vista Grande to First Point parking area
on East side of lake, another ¼ mile will be added. The County will match the grant with in kind
services. Poulsen is going to go after more
funding to extend the bike path.
A Resource
Management Plan is being worked on.
There are 27 topics to address. Poulsen would like to focus on a
handful. Livestock and grazing , noxious
weeds, economic considerations and a few others. The Commissioners added topics
such as wildlife, irrigation and agriculture. Other issues include cultural and
archeological resources, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers on the Bear River,
sage grouse and endangered species should be considered in greater detail. Norm
Weston will be on the technical review team.
In another
matter, Eldon Kearl would like to use his RV which has 5 different kinds of
radios in it as a volunteer emergency coordination vehicle. The county will have to work on the logistics but the state
thinks it is a good idea
