SUBDIVISION
• Mona City Council talks to Jason Ivins,
representing O'Sullivan Development. Ivins asked
for the council to sign a bond. The council also
said they would not change the date of his
ultimatum to have an earlier subdivision
completed by the end of the 10-day period.

The bond agreement for High Meadows Subdivision in
Mona is nearly ready for signing.
In fact, Jason Ivins and Lyn Bonner, representing the
development firm of O'Sullivan Development, said that the
Bank of American Fork had prepared the $365,000 bond for
signature and bank officials had signed the document.
"I have signed the bond document," said Ivins.
It was decided, that council members would review the
bond document and would have the city attorney review the
document before any of the council members would endorse
Mayor Bryce Lynn to sign the agreement.
"We will take the cost figure breakdowns prepared by
the bank and look them over," said Quinton Kay, council
member. "We could be prepared to sign the document at our
first meeting in September."
One correction needed to be made before the council
would authorize the signing of the document, said Kay.
"You have planned a 10 percent residual and we need a
20 percent in keeping with our ordinance," said Kay.
Even though the developers have planned to provide
water through the city system for the lots in High Meadows
Subdivision, the city will, eventually, require that all
lots have secondary water.
That is the future, said Kay.
Ivins said the developers will put 8-inch sleeves
through major intersections and will place 2-inch sleeves
under the street to house future secondary water
systems.
"We will look at the marketing," said Ivins. "If the
system goes in afterward, it will not tear up the road."
It will not be too far down the road that all water
will be expensive, said Lynn. "It would be wise to be
prepared."
Ivins said there was water for the development of the
subdivision but the developers were uncertain about meeting
one of the qualifications for the future. That qualification
demands that water used for irrigation systems not be off
for more than 72 hours at a time.
By putting their water into a city system, the water
will be there for necessary culinary purposes.
A change point of delivery application has been
submitted for the water.
In order to be legal, water change applications must
be filed with the state engineer. They must also be approved
by that office.
Applications may be made for a change in method of
diversion, in method of delivery/conveyance, in method of
application, in purpose of use, in water use/ irrigated
acreage, in place of use, and in point of diversion or
withdrawal. Applications may also seek adding a point of
diversion or withdrawal, the consolidation of two or more
points of diversion, the lease of all or part of a water
right, and the sale of all or part of a water right.
