031 requesting to change the zoning of 120.0 acres land located near the east
boundary of Filmore City from Agriculture 20 (Ag-20) to Range and Forest (RF).
Kyle Swallow, Applicant
Commissioner Joyce Barney made a MOTION to open public hearing on
application Z-2021-031 Commissioner Bob Rogers SECONDED the motion.
Voting was unanimous in the affirmative.
Attorney Steven Styler approached the Commission on behalf of Kyle Swallow.
He talked about prior concerns that were brought up at the last meeting.
He gave some reasoning as to why this is a Zoning Ordinance Map Amendment
Application.
Attorney Steven Styler stated that they have changed the size of the amendment
from the prior application.
Attorney Steven Styler stated a couple of the concerns, one being the traffic this
project would accumulate. They have looked in to different access pathways and
making new roads to help with the traffic. Another being the dust.
Attorney Steven Styler stated the other concerns that were expressed at the last
meeting are unable to be addressed at this time. These concerns will be address
during the CUP application.
Dennis Alldredge with the Fillmore City Council approached the Commission and
stated that he understands the needs for regulations. He is curious about the new
proposed road. Fillmore City is not interested in putting a new road across the
property. Another concern is that this will not be just for personal use and other
08042021 Page 3
entities will be entering the property. The adjacent properties will be highly
affected by this project. He gave a letter from Fillmore City of the concerns and
opinions of this project.
Applicant Kyle Swallow gave more description of the proposed road. He stated
that the adjacent property owners have given him permission to access these
roads.
Planner Adam Richins stated that he has received two documents today about
this proposed application. These will be part of the record.
Terri Messersmith approached the Commission. He stated his many concerns. He
is a land owner adjacent to this property. He has not been contacted by the
applicant. He's done a lot of testing on the subdivision property located next to the
proposed project and believes the dust will be a problem. He is concerned about
the heavy traffic flow. He then talked about the public health and welfare of the
subdivision homeowners next to this proposed project.
Lani Adams approached the Commission. She read a letter from her husband Ian
Adams. He is opposed to this Zone Change. The letter stated that none of the
previous concerns have been addressed.
Kathryn Stringam approached the Commission. She stated she is still opposed to
this application. She is concerned about the location of the project as well as the
proposed access road. She's concerned of the intent of this project and does not
believe it is for the applicant's personal use. She stated silicosis is also a concern
of hers. She then read the description of silicosis. She stated she has not had any
contact with the applicant.
Connor Kent Approached the Commission. He is an adjacent land owner and
stated that he is for the Zone change. He stated that he would rather live next to a
gravel pit than the open flesh pit that is currently there. He stated that there are
multiple ways to manage the dust.
Attorney Elise Harris with Fillmore City approached the Commission. She wanted
to clarify a few things. This will be a two-part application. First it will need to go
through the zone change, later will be the conditional use phase. If approved the
use is open to many things. She stated that this is the time to address the
concerns. She stated the applicant has had discussions with Fillmore City. They
are trying to work out a solution for this application. They have talked about
annexing this property into Fillmore City. She then talked about spot zoning. The
applicant described the proposed road. 500 North will eventually be crossed but
outside of city limits. She stressed the importance of thoughtful consideration with
this zone change.
Commissioner Peter Greathouse made a MOTION to close the public hearing.
Commissioner Joyce Barney SECONDED the motion. Voting was unanimous in
the affirmative.

4. REVIEW and POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION - Zoning Ordinance Map
Amendment Application # Z-2021-031 requesting to change the zoning of 120.0
acres of land located near the east boundary of Fillmore City from Agriculture 20
(Ag-20) to Range and Forest (RF). Kyle Swallow, Applicant
Attorney Steven Styler approached the Commission and addressed the concerns.
He stated they have not received any contracts from outside entities to purchase
the gravel at this time. He then addressed the public health and welfare. He stated
the county does have the ability to add conditions to a CUP that will mitigate many
of these concerns. He stated that the applicant and himself have talked to the
Fillmore City Mayor. He stated they are not on a time limit and are happy to come
back and address the Fillmore City concerns.
Commissioner Joyce Barney stated that at the last meeting she tried to deny this
application. She does not see that there has been any progress on finding any
resolution with Fillmore City or any of the other concerns. Attorney Steven Styler
stated he did address the two major concerns and has changed the application to
address those. He stated that the Planning Commission should not need a
blessing from the city.
David Sturlin recommended to postpone the recommendation on this application,
to give the applicant more time to address the concerns. Commissioner Joyce
Barney stated the applicants need to talk to Fillmore City and address the
concerns that they have. She stated once this zone change is approved it opens
the door for other uses on this property. She feels that we owe it to the citizens to
listen to the public. There needs to be a compromise with Fillmore City about the
concerns.
Commissioner Peter Greathouse stated this is also the time for the Commission
and property owners to state their input. Once the zone change is approved, we
are tied to the change and anything that is allowed on RF will be.
Planner Adam Richins stated that in order to give a favorable recommendation
this body is looking for a recommendation from Fillmore City as well, but it is not
necessary that they satisfy this body to move forward with the next step. They can
continue on with this process without the approval of the Planning Commission.
Commissioner Peter Greathouse made a MOTION to make an unfavorable
recommendation. Commissioner Joyce Barney SECONDED the motion.

Commission can do.

Sherwood Shores POA and also a Sherwood Shores homeowner. He talked
about the future development of Sherwood Shores. They do not want to take
