(Staff – Steve Pastorik at 801-963-3545 or steve.pastorik@wvc-ut.gov) (Continued from the July 13, 2022 public hearing) Discussion: Steve Pastorik explained that this application was continued from the July 13, 2022, public hearing. He reviewed the proposal for the Commission. Steve stated that the Commission decided to continue the application feeling the proposed housing standards fell short of other recently submitted applications. Steve presented a table outlining the standards proposed by the developer on July 11, 2022, and July 27, 2022, as well as the previous housing standards. He then reviewed the newly proposed standards and how they compare to the previous housing standards.  Chair Fuller asked Steve if the proposed housing standards are the same as the current standards. Steve explained that up until last year, the previous housing standards outlined in the table were part of our code. He stated that the legislature passed a bill limiting the housing standards for single-family homes. Steve said when anyone applies for a zone change, we can include housing standards via a development agreement, and that is what is being proposed with this application. Commissioner McEwen asked if the applicant had stated the proposed development would be similar to Newton Farms. Steve said that is correct. He asked if the homes in the Newton Farm development had two or three-car garages. Steve said the vast majority have a three-car garage. Commissioner McEwen would prefer the three-car garage instead of the twenty feet on the side of the proposed homes. Commissioner Lovato asked what thin brick material is and if it is durable. Commissioner Porter explained that it is brick but about half the width of a standard brick. Commissioner Woodruff said that it is usually glued on, and if not done correctly, it will not last. Commissioner Woodruff said he would like to eliminate the thin brick and increase the percentage of brick/stone from fifteen percent to twenty-five percent. He feels they should meet the previous housing standards for the design standards.
