Show LAKfcSiDE Lakeside Review - V- Bountiful says no more flag lots ft it By CATHY MCKITRICK Op Standard-Examin- N correspondent BOUNTIFUL - After studying the flag lot ordinances of Woods Cross, West Bountiful, Murray and Farmington, Bountiful council members chose to stick with their ban on new flag lots. ' According to Planning Director Blaine Gehring, Bountifuls 6 is more restricordinance tive than any of their neighboring counterparts. Gehring said that it would be easier to simply say no to flag lots in Bountiful rather than to reword the ordinance to deal with every unique and special situation. A flag lot consists of a large lot with an existing home in the front, and an additional home added later in back, which is accessed by a long driveway down one side of the lot, forming the stem. The ordinance passed unanimously, and included seven findings of fact concerning flag lots: The pressure of rising land value in Bountiful is causing a trend toward splitting lots to create a flag lot in the rear of existing homes. The division of land to permit the placement of new homes behind existing houses is an undesirable form of residential development. It is a more desirable development pattern for homes to be on lots with at least minimal legal frontage on public streets. .The city has a duty to protect the owners of existing housing, and not only to consider the needs., of developers and future owners. Many owners of existing homes find it objectionable to lots divided 98-1- i ltd i r 14 ' V L 4 i(. itu . u, 1 Jlu U.. R ' DR. ROBERT FERRELL in Many people buy in reliance upon recorded subdivision lot configurations. It is unfair to other lot owners to thereafter permit a lot to be divided with a flag lot to the rear of the property for another new home to be Flag lots inherently raise firefighting problems due to the difficulty of access. Gehring said that flag lots currently in existence will not be affected by the new ordinance. The ordinance will prevent the creation of any new flag lots. w' 11 CLEANING IS THE BEST 22 PLACE: DIABETES THERAPY CLINIC 1660 W. ANTELOPE DR. SUITE 120 R.S.V.P.
