PUBLIC NOTICE
Public Hearing
January 7, 2026
7:00 PM
Notice is hereby given that the Laketown Town Council will hold two Public Hearings on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, at 7:00 PM in the Laketown Office located at 10 North 200 East Laketown, Utah
First Public Hearing
The Laketown Town Council will hold a public hearing to consider a proposed ordinance that would prohibit the drilling of new culinary water wells on properties where public culinary water service is available. The purpose of the proposed ordinance is to protect the aquifer that supplies Laketown's public water system by limiting additional private withdrawals
Under the proposed ordinance, when public culinary water service is available to property, new residences would be required to connect to the Laketown culinary water system rather than develop a new private culinary well.
The public hearing will also include discussion of costs associated with connecting new homes to the Laketown culinary water system, including applicable impact fees, connection fees, and any fees in lieu of dedicating a water share or water right.
Following the first public hearing a second public hearing will be held
Second Public Hearing
The Laketown Town Council will hold a public hearing to consider proposed amendments to the Town's minor Subdivision Ordinance. The proposed changes clarify when a small subdivision may be approved without recording a formal subdivision plat, while still requiring compliance with the Town's subdivision review process
The amendments establish specific eligibility criteria for minor subdivisions, including limits on parcel size and number of lots, restriction to single-family residential use, and requirements that parcels do not conflict with planned public streets or utilities. The proposed ordinance also clarifies application requirements, including a mandatory pre-application meeting, utility approvals, zoning compliance, and timelines for determining whether an application is complete.
The intent of the amendments is to provide a clearer and more efficient approval process for small subdivisions while maintaining protections for infrastructure planning, water and sewer services, and land-use standards.
The public is invited to attend and may give written or oral comments during the public hearings. All public hearing items will be discussed and/or approved during the Laketown Town Council meeting following the public hearing.
