Sean Wharton is reappointed to a third term ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON The Park Record Most of Sean Wharton’s time spent on the Eastern Summit County Planning Commission has been dedicated to rewriting the development code and adjustments of the zoning boundaries. Wharton, a two-term commissioner who lives in Marion, said he recently reapplied for his seat on the planning commission because he wanted to see the process through now that the commission’s recommendation is before the Summit County Council. “We have had a lot of turnover and I think we need the continuity going forward with so many things that have been in the works,” Wharton said. “There are also some neat projects that are going to be coming before us that are in the pipeline that are kind of interesting that I want to be a part of.” Wharton was reappointed on Wednesday to the seven-member board, along with Tom Clyde and Bill Wilde. Clyde and Wilde were appointed to replace commissioners Ken Henrie and Chris Ure, who each served three consecutive terms, which is the limit for planning commissioners. Planning commissioners serve on a volunteer basis and are appointed to three-year terms. Wharton, Clyde and Wilde’s terms will expire on Feb. 28, 2020. County councilors also interviewed David Bobrowsky, Gale Pace, Kristina Ure and Marc Watterson for the three open seats. “The landscape is changing, but the goal is to try and create a balance that meets the needs of both of the people through smart planning and a little bit of flexibility,” Wharton said. “We need a bunch of stuff over here (Kamas Valley) and we are a little bit of a blank slate. We have an opportunity to create a really nice future for this valley.” Commissioners are responsible for reviewing applications for conditional use permits or subdivision plans and making recommendations concerning zoning and development code revisions to the County Council. Wharton, Clyde and Wilde will join fellow commissioners Tonja Hanson, Louise Willoughby, Rich Sonntag and Don Sargent.
