All provisions of the R-1-8 zone, including those for flag lot development have been satisfied. Access to the subdivision will be gained from 3500 South. Curb, gutter and sidewalk are existing. The developer will need to coordinate the relocation of an existing drive approach and any replacement of existing or damaged improvements with UDOT.

The developer has provided a soils report. The report indicated that ground water was not encountered to a depth of 9 feet. This depth will allow full basements to be constructed as part of new single family homes. All homes in the subdivision will comply with current single family housing standards.

Property to the north is zoned C-2 and RM with a commercial center and Balmoral Townhomes respectively. Property to the south is zoned C-2 and RM and contains a mix of commercial uses and storage units. The Mountain View Corridor is located to the west. The purpose of the subdivision will be to divide the 7.5 acre property into 2 lots. Lot 1 is located along 5600 West and will be used for a future hotel. Lot 2 is located to the west and will be the site for a future town home development. Access to the subdivision will be gained from Glen Eagles Drive from the North and the South.

The north/south street, essentially dividing the two lots, will be a public access easement. As mentioned in the zoning application,  MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – OCTOBER 6, 2020 -12- the City believes this connection is important to move traffic north/south and to provide relief to the volumes of traffic using 5600 West as noted in the zoning application.
