The i Kirkland Heights subdivision receives preliminary approval deal with the zone change By Myrna Trauntvein Ti mes issue," said McKnight. The property, owned by Donna Anderson, is located east of 400 East and goes to the freeway. It is south of South Towne Estates Subdivision. The subdivision takes its name from the middle name of Andersons late husband. The property is currently which designated as is a holding zone requiring building lots," said McKnight. The council gave the preliminary approval to the plan but a public hearing will need to be held before the zone change can be made which would allow lots of one quarter acre. The planning commission did have one question which they would like developers to consider before applying for final plat approval, said McKnight. There is a small bulb Neu s Corresponden t South N'ephi will be the site of still another subdivision, this one planned for 26 lots, if a public hearing determines that the zone can be changed in the area. Kirkland Heights subdivision is the latest to receive N'ephi City Council preliminary approval. According to our subdivision ordinance, said Randy McKnight, city administrator, those planning to build a subdivision must first receive preliminary approval from the planning commission and then from the city council. The preliminary approval allows further planning, and in this case, a public hearing. The plan will then return to the planning commission for final approval and will then return to the council once again. The developers can now R-l-- knuckle cul do sac in the subdivision which is, approxif a cul de sac. mately, The planning commission had some concern as to whether the snow plows could get into the cul de sac for adequate snow removal in the winter. It is actually the same size as a normal cul de sac." said Chad Poulsen. representing Kirkland Heights. "I think it looks better the way it is designed." Most people who live on a cul de sac understand that snow removal might be more difficult and are prepared to accept the idea that the plow may keep the street open but will not make as many repeated passes as may be necessary to get rid of all the snow, said Mike Jones, council member. He said he could not see anything different between the designed cul de sac and the normal one. "The plan- cnmc up w ith something bet-'- i r." said McKnight. Ill addition, he said, the council was not being asked to vote on a "yes" or "no" basis one-hal- ning commission did not make the cul de sac change a requirement before final approval, they just requested that the engineers look at the design and see if they could Nt phi, Utah CTimrs-Nrlu- s concerning the design. There were many items which still needed to be ironed out and that was the reason for the preliminary status. Once tile council gave the preliminary status to the project, the final design could be prepared and that would still com' back before the council for approval. "The preliminary approval status just gives the developers permission to begin the final design. said McKnight. The first step, which the project has already achieved, was a vicinity map which went before the planning commission for review. The council has discussed different approaches for handling traffic in subdivisions and, perhaps the cul de sac as designed for Kirkland Heights might be one such solution, said Greg Rowley, council member.
