GARDEN CITY, Utah. October 5, 2016. Planning Commission Approval for phase 1 and 5 and 6 of Water’s Edge  After many months of appearing before the Garden City Planning commission, Chris Shurian and Brian Balls, developers of the Water’s Edge, said that they had met all of the requirements of Zan Murray, the city engineer. 

The fence that is proposed to protect the Huefner property was discussed. Don Huefner said they settled on a date to be finished which will be before the certificate of occupancy.  Should the fence be on the property line or  on Huefner’s or the Water's Edge property line?  Huefner thinks since it is Water's Edge fence it should be on their property so that it will be clear that the developers will maintain it. 

If it is on the property line it might be considered a partnership and Huefner doesn’t  want to be responsible for it.  The developers said they were fine with putting it on their property. The fence will be 6’ high, with rock pillars.  

UDOT has a few more requirements for traffic studies which may have to be done in the summer.  Water's Edge traffic engineer has been working with UDOT and they seem to be very cooperative. They have worked with the Army Corps of Engineers to preserve existing wetland.

Water’s edge will begin with a hotel, water park and a condo building for the first phase of construction.  The access to the hotel will be on 50 S and 150 S Bear Lake Boulevard.   This project began in 2007 and according to Lance Bourne, “we are closer than we have ever been to beginning the project.”
