  • Conditional approval granted for subdivisions in Nephi City

Two sub-dividers proposed plans to Nephi City Council for approval for subdivision projects inside city limits.

Stan Gleave and David Hardy discussed plans for two separate subdivisions with the council at Tuesday's meeting.

"I am seeking preliminary approval for a large-lot subdivision to be constructed at approximately 400 East and 1275 South," said Gleave.

The subdivision will be known as the Sun Ridge Ranches Subdivision. Large lot subdivisions are another approved land use in the list of categories allowed in the city subdivision ordinance. As the category implies, lots in these subdivisions include more acreage than the lots in a regular subdivision.

"The planning commission has previously given preliminary approval for the project," said Randy McKnight, city administrator

Council member Jim Wilkey made the motion to grant preliminary approval for the project subject to the condition that the city staff verify that all requirements of the subdivision ordinance have been met.

"I am ready to receive approval for the final plats for South Towne Estates Subdivision," said Hardy. Plats F and G are the end of the project in the subdivision development also located in Southeast Nephi.

The previous plats, A through E, have been prepared for building, said Hardy. Improvements are all in place&emdash;curb and gutter, electric, water and gas utilities&emdash;and several homes have been constructed.

Council members approved the overall project sometime ago. The project was to be completed in stages, said McKnight.

Approval for the final phase was given conditionally upon verification by city staff members that all requirements of the subdivision ordinance had been met.
