GARDEN CITY, Utah. July 13, 2016. The final plat discussion/approval of Legacy Beach, located
at 552 South to 620 South Bear Lake Blvd. was next on the agenda. This property will become a gated private
Planned Unit Development upon completion.
However, the Planning Commission was unable to pass the plans that were
presented last week at that meeting. The
members of the Commission recommended that the individuals involved take care
of all of the items listed by the City Attorney and City Engineer before any
approval could be given. They felt there
were enough items in question that they could not approve this project at that
time. However, if all of the items were
resolved before City Council Meeting, the City Council could go ahead and give
the final approval.
Zan Murray, the City’s Engineer, did not feel comfortable
with the plat in its present form. He
noted that two pieces of property within the subdivision have not yet been
transferred into the development. The
dumpster area is not shown on the current plat.
Not all of the parcels are addressed properly. One property is very small and doesn’t tie
any parking with the small proposed cottage.
Currently it is not clear what property is owned by the
individual home owners and what is green space required by the
development. It appears that each owner
will have a small lot in front of their home, but this is not made clear on the
plat. Also, it is not clear if the
driveways are owned by the homeowner or if they are part of the common
areas.
No one in the City has yet received a copy of the CC&R’s
that are required for the project. They
need to be made available to the City so that they can be read, recorded, and
checked to make sure they follow City requirements. There are some locations that don’t appear to
have an easy access to the dwellings in that area.
Murray also noted that he had not had access to any of the
construction drawings. He was concerned
with the storm pond, the common areas, the private and/or public roads and
utilities. Currently, it is not possible
to know if the City and/or the County can go into the subdivision to maintain
the sewer system, the sanitation system, and the water system.
Don White, the Legacy representative, noted that waiting
until August would be a real burden for the subdivision. That doesn’t allow much time to make any
progress on the PUD. He also indicated
that most of the items the City needs have been completed. He didn’t know why they had not been given to
the City. The City Engineer noted that
he will be leaving on vacation in the next week or so. He will put himself out to work with the PUD
if they get the necessary information to him on Friday. He will set aside time to work with the
developers in his office on Monday. He
will then put in the required time to go over everything and make sure the list
of items has been checked and hopefully completed before he leaves. If they can do that, he will work with
them. That means they can hold a special
City Council Meeting and move forward.
If everything isn’t complete, however, the PUD will have to wait until
the meeting in August for final approval.
Murray noted that the PUD could go ahead and put in the pillars
along the roadside for the fence that will be built. He also noted that they could dig the hole for
the clubhouse, but they were not to pour any cement or go any further than that
until final approval is given.
