   5. Final Approval of the Cascades at Moose Hollow Condominium Phase 2, in Wolf Creek, and the Acceptance of a Financial Guarantee of $107,895.15
      Craig Barker, County Planning Department Director, showed an area map and the proposed building plan. He stated that Cascades at Moose Hollow was a continuation of the Moose Hollow condominium project which was built on a ravine adjacent to the road that goes to Powder Mountain. Cascades at Moose Hollow started as a single-building style. As the developers worked from the bottom of this project back to the east, they came out of the ravine onto a flatter type of terrain, and they have changed the building styles. The three storied height for the original Moose Hollow development worked well down in the ravine but as they came out of it they have changed to a lower height building style. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of this item to the County Commission.

   6. Setting Public Hearing Date (to be Determined by the Commission) on a Revised Fairways Planned Residential Unit Development at Approximately 3900 North Wolf Creek Drive

Mr. Barker stated that the access to this project will be the access road that will eventually tie into the North Ogden Divide Road as it continues through. The petitioner is revising the original plan to show building envelopes instead of building footprints. The building pads will allow one of the four approved home styles to be built whereas the building footprint would only allow a specific home to be built. The Weber County Township Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the proposed change.
      
      
      Commissioner Cain moved to set a public hearing for October 29, 2002 on the revised Fairways Planned Residential Unit Development at approximately 3900 North Wolf Creek Drive;
