PUBLIC COMMENTS
CHIP SHARPE
Mr. Sharpe said Escalante has issues with housing. Mr. Sharpe said he has four teachers commuting from other communities because they can't find housing. Mr. Sharpe said he wants to hire two more teachers, but they will not commit because of housing. Mr. Sharpe said on
May 12, 2016, he went to a meeting on a program called Self-Help Homes. Mr. Sharpe said one of the concerns with this project is the Ordinance requirement of 1/2 acre lots to build on. Mr. Sharpe asked if there was a way we can make the lots 1/3 of an acre or 1/4 of an acre. Mr. Sharpe said the homes are built well, look nice and they try to stay under $200,000.00. Mr. Sharpe has purchased a parcel that he would like to split into four parcels and is asking Planning and Zoning for direction. Chairman Peterson said his suggestion would be to get an application in for Planning and Zoning. Chairman Peterson said if Planning and Zoning denies the application, Mr. Sharpe can take it to Board of Adjustments.
