Show Layton land development discussed by city council By DONETA GATHERUM LAYTON The development of open land in Layton continues to be the most important items of business on the Layton City council coun-cil agenda. Last Thursday evening, the city council set three public hearings to consider annexation and rezone proposals. The most interesting requests re-quests were made by the U.S. West development company. They asked for zoning changes on two parcels of property near Mutton Hollow Road, the traditional boundary between Layton and Kaysville. The first request is to annex 37 acres immediately south of Summer Sum-mer Haze Subdivision into Layton City. If the annexation is approved, the developers want an R-l-10 zone to allow the development develop-ment of a single family unit subdivision subdivi-sion comparable to the Summer Haze development which is also a U.S. West project. If the annexation is approved, Layton would be responsible in the long run for annexing twice as much of the Mutton Hollow area property as was originally anticipated antici-pated by planners and citizens in Layton and Kaysville. This would have a considerable impact on both cities in terms of planning and servicing ser-vicing the area with utilities. . Closely related to this annexation annexa-tion and rezone request was another proposal made by U.S. West. They are asking for an R-l-10 zone on the Gailey property which is between the Summer Haze Subdivision and Oak Hills Drive. This acreage was annexed into Layton City in the summer of 1987. The plan would include a roadway connecting Oak Hills Drive with the Summer Haze and Femwood Hollow Subdivisions. w w The Planning Commission approved both proposals. Both public hearings will be held Feb. 18 at 8 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. Also scheduled for the Feb. 18 meeting is a public hearing concerning con-cerning a 29 acre rezone request submitted by Dennis Lower. This property is located at the opposite end of Layton City on the South Weber border. Last summer Layton and South Weber agreed to a boundary change involving 40 acres. The property could be serviced with utilities from Layton City but it wasn't feasible to have South Weber We-ber provide the utilities. The cities agreed to de-annex from South Weber and annex to Layton. Mr. Lower's proposal is for a 29 acre subdivision consisting of 58 lots in an R-l-10 zone. This would be compatible with the LaDonna Mesa Subdivision that is south of the Lower proposal. This hearing is set for 7:45 p.m. |
