Show WEBER COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION August 28, 1990 Page Six MOTION: Commissioner Hancock moved to have the staff notify Mr. Mecham that the Planning Commissioners' feel that the staff has interpreted the zoning ordinance correctly and explained this to Mr. Mecham correctly and that there are methods he can pursue according to the zoning ordinance. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Thompsen and voting was unanimous, with Commissioners Coleman, Fuller, Gibson, Hancock, Thompsen, Widdison and Thompson voting aye. AMENDMENT TO MOTION: Commissioner Thompsen indicated that the motion should be amended to reflect that Mr. Mecham was given the opportunity to speak but did not show up at the meeting to do so. 11. Herbert Fowers Subdivision. 6700 U. 4600 S., Discuss extension of 4600 S. Street. 1 Lot. (Sec. 26-2-1(a) Subdivision Regulations) Staff indicated that the reason the subdivision is before the Planning Commission is because of the desire of the land owner and the Subdivision Ordinance and its requirements. The Subdivision Ordinance in Section 26-2-1 requires that the arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall make provision for the continuation of the existing streets in adjoining areas or their proper protection where the adjoining land is not subdivided, in so far as such may be deemed necessary by the Planning Commission for public requirement. The staff's feeling is that at some point in the future 4600 S. may be extended to the west to provide access into the property west of his existing subdivision. The problem occurs is that the north 20 or 30 feet of this subdivision would extend into that proposed right of way. Staff told the developer that he has a couple of methods by which he could reserve and protect that right. One method is since he is the existing owner of the surrounding property he could move the subdivision boundary 30 feet to allow for future development if that were to occur, or another alternative is to enlarge the lot with a 30 ft. easement for future road development over this existing lot so that in the future if 4600 S. was extended there would be enough property to do this. If he were to do this, he would have to increase his lot size so that the future road would take some square footage from his lot which would then put the proposed lot below that required by zoning. Mr. Fowers did not want to either of this options. Commissioner Fuller was excused at 6:50 p.m. Blake Priest, representing Mr. Fowers, indicated that he has no intent to build down below this property and he has given his daughter a one acre lot to build on. Herbert Fowers indicated that he owns the surrounding property and he has no intent of building below this parcel and that part of the area is below the 4215 building restriction. Commissioner Hancock questioned Mr. Fowers as to whether he understands that by not providing right of way which may never be used he has made the choice for anyone down the line to use the property behind. Commissioner Thompsen asked Mark DeCaria whether the law of eminent domain could be applied if in the future a home was located on the road or contiguous to the road and the road were extended to the west and whether it would have to be removed. Mark DeCaria indicated that the law of eminent domain could be applied but that it is not automatic. There would have to be an election by the powers that exist at the time. He doesn't believe the law of eminent domain will be an issue because the subdivision laws will prevent this. Staff indicated that by planning for the future now it could protect the future property owners. Mark DeCaria indicated that the way to resolve this is for Mr. Fowers to give his daughter 1.2 acres or whatever space would be used by the 30 ft. to guarantee for the possible right of way. Commissioner Hancock indicated that there have been several cases in Weber County where parents or grandparents did not leave right of ways to get to property at the rear and the posterity is left with properties without access. It seems to him that proper planning for the future, whether it ever happens, would be the sensible thing to do. Mr. Fowers indicated that by giving his daughter an additional 30 ft. would take it off another lot in the future. 444 |
