  • Subdivisions in Nephi are progressing well

Several subdivision projects in Nephi are underway, some are a continuation of projects begun earlier, and others are new projects.

Randy McKnight, city administrator, told the council that all streets in subdivisions are dedicated to the city and all are maintained, once they are completed by the subdivider, by the city.

Garbage collection is also a city job that is done by city crews.

"The six subdivisions in the city have, generally, been moving along well," he said.

At South Towne Estates, in southeast Nephi, the street and drainage work for the final phase of the subdivision are nearly done. When that is complete and the street surfacing is laid, building permits can be issued.

Lynnwood Subdivision, located in northeast Nephi naear the high school, has completed the first phase and has a warrantee bond on the next phase.

Hunter's Meadow subdivision, in northeast Nephi across from the new hospital, is ready for Plat C, which consists of four commercial lots to be built along Old Highway 91 which is also Nephi's Main Street.

The four commercial pads, said McKnight, will need to address parking issues before individual construction can take place. The developer has worked with the city to receive approval for the project.

Off the street parking will need to be provided at each location, according to Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) requirements. All new projects, such as the this, like the city's grocery store, will need to provide parking space for patrons which is not on the street.

Plat B, is the next series of residential lots in the subdivision.

Lots are now being sold along 1400 South, said McKnight. Construction there can begin.

Sunrise Ranches has a warrantee bond on the subdivision proposed for southeast Nephi.

Red Cliff Estates are now putting in a sewer system for the lots which will be located there. The subdivision, on the south of Nephi, can accommodate 14 new homes.

The sixth subdivision, also located on the south side of the community, has received preliminary work in the process of readying the site for future construction.
