  • Comments on Deer Acres subdivision will be taken at public hearing

A public hearing will be held to take comment on Deer Acres subdivision.

Deer Acres, Plat B, would be for further development of the property owned by Wes Lynn where he built his home on a one-lot subdivision, Deer Acres, Plat A.

The hearing is planned for the 2nd Wednesday of February, on the 14th.

Since that date is the night of Valentines Day, the meeting may be changed before that time. Residents who are interested in attending should watch the legal notices section of the newspaper.

"When the documents were submitted for review for final plat approval," said Randy McKnight, Nephi City administrator, "the planning commission noted that there was a need for a public hearing before final approval can be recommended."

The subdivision is east of the freeway and north of Canyon Hills Golf Course, said McKnight.

Nine lots are proposed for residential development.

Comments had been directed from the city review committee to the planning commission. Those concerns will be addressed.

The new subdivision would line up with the Bart Jackson home across the roadway leading around the golf course but would be on the north side of the street.

"The planning commission gave preliminary approval to the subdivision and the council also gave their preliminary approval," said McKnight.

However, a change in state law now mandates that a public hearing be held by the planning commission.

When the planning commission voted on action, it was approved with Wes Lynn, a member of the commission, abstaining.
