Wales Town Planning & Zoning Minutes 1 6.21.2022
BUSINESS: Gary Mitchell, Sanpete County Zoning Administrator, appeared before the committee to answer any questions committee members might have concerning county zoning and development. Much of the conversation was centered around the county buffer zone program. Mr. Mitchell stated that Wales, Sterling, and Mayfield were the three towns not participating in the program. He also indicated that those cities who were participating did not provide city water and utilities to properties outside their city limits. Participating towns have an opportunity to join in the planning process taking place in the buffer zone area. Typically this area would extend for one-half mile outside town limits and would consist of one-half and one acre lots. Water issues were also discussed. Gary indicated that several water wells in the area of Mayfield, Sterling, and Spring City were reported to have gone dry. We briefly discussed the FEMA Flood Program and found that Mr. Mitchell was the County Flood Administrator.
The Committee discussed the Town Council's Temporary Zoning Ordinance and the procedure required to change our land use ordinance from one-half acre to one acre minimum lot size. The implementation process for the Road Master Plan Map and the SF1 Zone change will be outlined at the next Planning and Zoning Meeting in July.
Data collection for the Water Production Monitoring Program was discussed. Ron Lamb made the motion to have a Committee Work Session to discuss the project with Brandon Rees and Wendell Roberts at 7:00 pm on, Tuesday, 12 July 2022, at the Town Hall. His motion was seconded by Jeff Lamb and then passed with a unanimous vote in favor by those present.
ADJOURN: The motion to adjourn was made by Jeff Lamb, seconded by Ron Garff, with a unanimous vote in favor.
Meeting adjourned at 8:35 pm
