Gave its blessing to a proposed feed store to be built just north of the Enoch LDS Church, but recommended that the owner, Jim Culbertson, go to the Enoch Town Board because it was within one-half mile of the town's boundary. The Iron County Planning and Zoning Commission March 4 heard a variety of requests, ultimately approving a waiver of subdivision requirements to Randy Clark, a variance for the proposed Cedar Highlands Subdivision Sub-division and construction of a private recreational camp. Randy Clark came before the commission asking for a waiver of subdivision requirements on a parcel of farm land in the Beryl Valley he wanted to divide into smaller farm lots. He had appeared last month with the same request, but the commission com-mission had ended up in a tie vote twice. This time around, with Commissioner Com-missioner Howard Nelson absent, the waiver was granted by a three-two vote. Clark's request was that he be able to divide a 240 acre parcel into 12 20-acre 20-acre parcels without going through the complicated subdivision filing requirements. The current county ordinances allow such a waiver, upon approval of the county commission. The planning commission will now make such a recommendation. The approval came only after commissioners Gretchen Ronnow and Bryner Wood voiced several objections. Ronnow noted that the lots would not have the required three acre feet of water required by the State to make it bonafide farm land. However, Clark was quick to point out that there was nearly enough water and that probably the owners wouldn't try to farm all the land. "We're not proposing that people are going to be able to farm the entire 20 acres," he said. He also pointed out that a similar request by Dallen Williams last month had been granted, even though the Williams Jand had no water. When the final vote came, Ronnow and Wood voted against; and David Grimshaw, Howard Knight and Richard T. Harris voted for. Representatives of Pine Hollow Association were also at the meeting requesting, and receiving, approval for a recreational camp planned for the southern border of Iron County, east of New Harmony. The 400 acres of land in the development will be deeded to a corporation of 14 shareholders. Each could construct a cabin on land owned by the corporation, but the large majority of the land would be left untouched, said Frank Allen, representing the association. "The intent of this is to leave this parcel of land as much like it is as possible and still utilize it," added Bruce Whitehead, the engineer for the project. ' There was some concern con-cern involving the lack of fire protection, but it was generally agreed that the association would handle the problem. "I think they're going to have enough control of their own that the county doesn't need to worry about it," said Chairman Dallin Gardner, commenting com-menting on the very strict nature of the restrictive covenants of the association. Approval was given, with all members voting for the development except David Grimshaw, who voted against. Scott Bulloch, the engineer for Cedar Highlands Subdivision, originally called Green Lake Ranches, was granted a recommendation recom-mendation for a variance on road widths. Bulloch requested that width be reduced from the required 28 feet to 18 feet, since Cedar Highlands is a mountain subdivision. The commission will |
