Elk's Ridge Subdivision

GARDEN CITY, Utah. May 12, 2016. Elk’s Ridge water system easement and the property agreement where the water tank is located were discussed.  It was noted that an agreement had been reached concerning these two items.  However, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) needs to be written and signed concerning this matter.  The MOU will need to be brought to the Council Members for their approval. 

Before the application to USDA can be submitted, an agreement with Elk’s Ridge and Raspberry Patch concerning the second entry/exit to Elk’s Ridge will also need to be signed. 

The water tank property on Elk’s ridge will be used to increase water pressure to both Raspberry Patch and Foothill Estates. Easements from both of these subdivisions must be signed showing their approval.  It was noted that in the original Elk’s Ridge development, enough water was to be stored in the water tank for 220 water connections.  One hundred of the lots brought water rights with them.  However, the additional 120 lots do not have water rights and will have to purchase the needed water rights as development proceeds. 

The City has noted that they will pay $10,000 toward the improvement of Elk’s Ridge’s roads.  The individuals who have purchased lots in that subdivision will be responsible for the remaining monies needed to get the roads in the shape required by the City’s ordinances.  The City will be responsible for a telemetry system concerning water usage.

There are some lots on the plat that are smaller than the current rezone.  However, because they were approved originally, they will be allowed.  There are several other items that must be negotiated. Agreements need to be signed acknowledging the negotiated items so that building and development can move forward in the various subdivisions involved in this area.

Hopefully all of these matters can be taken care of in the next few days so that the City can proceed with their application for a grant to assist with City culinary water issues.
