The subdivision in question is the Valley Hi project, located on SR 193 south of and LaDonna Mesa projects. the Tri-Oa- THE REZONE will allow developers to build smaller homes than were allowed under the former zone. Homes will range in size from 980 to 1300 square feet. They will be priced between $55,000 and $80,000. Developer Tom Hayes assured the council the homes will follow a small, smarter design. They will be a step up from the standard Utah box. ALL HOUSES will include a covered garage. They will be single family, detached construction. Sixty homes will be built in this development. The city council members placed some requirements on the developer before final project approval can be given. First, some agreements between the developers and Weber Basin Water District will have to be worked out. Weber Basin has two water line easements that run through the property. Second, all homes must be designed to meet the standards set forth in the Hillside Ordinance. Third, fire protection problems within the development must be worked out with the Layton City fire department. Finally, the County Health Department must be contacted to assure the city that the ground is stable and there is no contamination in the area. AT ONE TIME the property was used for a city dump. This practice was discontinued in 1955. Garbage placed on the site was burned and not buried. Alan Jackson, the original developer of this planned subdivision, was in attendance at the public hearing where this matter was discussed. He explained to the council that when the original project was approved, he was required to drill test holes in several locations to establish there was no ground slippage and no contaminants. DEVELOPER, Tom Hayes and surveyor, Glen Ravenberg, both stated nothing was found when water and utility lines were installed and when the survey work was being completed. They felt any irregularities would have been discovered when this preliminary work was being done. Other council business centered around planning commission recommendations. Final approval was given to the final phase of the Heather Hills subdivision. Only two building lots are in this phase . The lots faced south. Under the final approved plan, the lots have been turned to face east. FINAL approval was given to Phase 6 of the Greenleaf Meadows subdivision. This project is located at 1150 N. 1250 W. A public hearing was set for April 21 at 7:15 p.m. to consider a rezone request on some acreage located at 1100 E. Cherry Lane. Property owners hope to build Cascade Meadows, a housing subdivision on this site. - |
