  • Mona subdivision will proceed with revised plan for development

Lyn Bonner, developer of High Meadows Subdivision, will now develop just 22 lots instead of the 30 he first proposed two weeks ago.

Bonner received permission to proceed with a revised plan for the subdivision at Mona City Council meeting on Tuesday.

"I appreciate the council agreeing to allow the development of Plat A," said Bonner.

At meeting two weeks ago, Bonner was told he must either cut back by eliminating the one section of his subdivision or must obtain permission to build a road.

After a public meeting and a lengthy discussion at the prior council meeting, one option remained.

It was decided that, if Bonner could not receive the needed permission to complete a road which would be partially on property he does not control, Bonner could re-number the plat phases.

Plat A will have all its own roads, which are built on the interior of the planned subdivision. There will be no problem in getting those roads completed, said Bonner.

Under the reconfiguration, Plat A will allow the development of 22 lots.

The roads issues had made the development of the property fairly difficult, said Bonner.

"I am glad that you did not require me to develop Platt Lane," said Bonner. "It makes more sense that whoever develops the property south of Platt Lane should finish Platt Lane."

A mylar was prepared for the subdivision and was signed by the mayor and council. The subdivision can now begin development.

Platt Lane, named after an early resident, Jim Platt, development was also not required of Bonner.

The road there should have fallen on others to complete as part of earlier subdivision developments, council members agreed.

An adjustment was made, said Bonner, to allow the development of 22 lots as part of Plat A, rather than the 18 first proposed for that phase.

"I appreciate the city giving us a little time to resolve the road issue with the Howard Newton family," he said.
