Hyde
Park P&Z sends Foothill Heights plans forward to
city council

March 7, 2008 | HYDE PARK -- The city's Planning and
Zoning Commission voted Wednesday night to send the
Foothill Heights subdivision final plat to next week's
City Council meeting for approval. In the interim, developer
David Harris will work to fix a few concerns raised
by the commission.
The major anxiety voiced pertained to commissioner concerns
that residents would have to back out of the subdivision,
located near 100 N. 700 East, onto corridor roads, also
referred to as arterial or traffic-moving roads.
"The key to any corridor road
is that people drive out onto them with their noses
facing the road," said commission chairman Reed Elder.
The commission voted unanimously
to move the subdivision plan forward with the contingency
that the corridor issue is resolved and the Land Use
Authority approves the latest drawings before being
presented to city council. The LUA includes the P&Z
chairman, mayor, a city council member, building inspector
and city engineer.
Commissioner David James did not
vote on the issue, to avoid a conflict of interest.
James was involved with the sale of the land the proposed
subdivision will rest atop. Commission alternate Dave
Gatherum voted in his place.
The Hyde Park City Council will meet
at 6:30 p.m. March 12 in the city office building at
113 E. Hyde Park Lane.
