  • Sun Ridges Ranches Subdivision gets conditional approval

Sun Ridge Ranches Subdivision, planned for southeast Nephi, was given conditional approval on Tuesday at Nephi City Council meeting.

The city planning commission had already given approval to the project.

There are 19 building lots planned, each of them approximately one acre.

The homes are planned to front the Turkey Hill Road with a road coming in from 400 East and traveling through the subdivision to connect with an existing road at 1200 South.

"The property is located between Turkey Hill Road on the east and Verl Wilkey's shed on the south," said Barbara Painter, realtor. On the north, the subdivision will begin at 700 South.

Stan Gleave, who was making the proposal, along with Realtors from the Success Team, presented the plan to the city council hoping for final approval of the project.

Another inner-subdivision road, which will end in a cul de sac, will come from the connecting road bi-secting the subdivision and connect it with the mid-subdivision properties. That road will lead east and stop just short of Turkey Hill Road.

"Our prices for lots will include all city services, water, power, sewer, phone and cable television," said Gleave. "The lots are located in the area of the city where they are approved for animal rights."

The developer, who makes his home in Richfield, said plans for the subdivision would include all property developments, including a 60-foot right-of-way for the roadways.

All Nephi City subdivisions are required to include curb and gutter.

"We had planned to complete the roadway with black top," said Gleave, "but if curb and gutter is required along 1200 South, the roadway will only be finished along the development."

The developer will work closely with city staff in completing the plans for the subdivision to meet city specifications. Once all requirements are met, the subdivision will qualify for final approval from the council.
