The new conference center being proposed by the company,
Musikschule Frohlich, for construction west of Nephi has
reached another landmark toward receiving approval.
Hans Braun has been pursuing a building permit for
several months. He was out of town on Monday, but Dell
Chryst, representing the company, and Judy Phillips,
realtor, met with Juab County Commissioners to inform them
that they had ownership of water for the center.
"In October, the point of diversion was changed," said
Phillips. The change was a necessary step to be in
compliance with state requirements. The company has proof of
water ownership and is set to begin building as soon as the
county commission approves the permit.
The property where the conference center will be built
is located on the Andrews/Scofield property located on the
east side of Airport Road west of Nephi.
"Everyone on the county planning commission was in
agreement that all that was needed was water," said Robert
Steele, commissioner. Steele represents the commission on
the planning commission.
The zone change needed had been advertised in the
local paper and a meeting had been held on the proposal. A
tape had been made of the meeting and the appropriate amount
of time had elapsed for the protest period to be over.
The only obstacle, said Wm. Boyd Howarth, commission
chair, was that the commission needed to confer with Glenn
Greenhalgh, county economic development and planning
director.
"He is out of town at a workshop," said Howarth.
Steele said the commission was not trying to hamper
the construction of the center but was trying to jump
through all the proper hoops.
"We can probably take action and grant approval on
Dec. 4 at our meeting," said Steele.
Chryst said he had no problem waiting the two weeks
for approval of the project. However, if there were more
hoops to jump, the company would prefer to know immediately
so they could work toward compliance.
"We don't want to hold up construction any longer," he
said.
