      Craig Barker, County Planning Department Director, presented this item. Currently, the landscaping requirements in the Ogden Valley only apply to commercial, industrial and multi-family dwellings, exempting other uses.

Commissioner Cain recommended reviewing the county's landscaping requirements from the water conservation perspective. Some concerns had been raised by area commercial land owners about the percentage of turf required.

The petitioner was granted a variance by the Board of Adjustments for access to lot 1 other than frontage because it would have been very steep. Access to lot 1 will be by a private drive through lot 2. Whereas the terrain is very steep, there is potential for some erosion and the financial guarantee is to provide for erosion control. The East Huntsville Township Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of this item.

Portions of this area are in South Ogden City where a subdivision was put in recently and the county is contracting with that developer, Cory Combe, to build this portion of Skyline so that the whole project will be completed as one unit.
