8. Final approval of Silver Bell Estates Phase 1, 2nd Amendment Lot 55

Sean Wilkinson, of the County Planning Division, stated that this is an amended subdivision. In 1990 lots 55 and 56 were required to exchange equal portions of their land based on a legal decision regarding a dispute over access. However, they did not go through the appropriate subdivision process at that time to change those lot boundaries and this is a correction. The main portion of lot 55, along with a sliver of lot 56, will be combined to create a new lot, which will be lot 123. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval in January 2011.

Ernest Rowley, County Recorder/Surveyor, addressed Commissioner Zogmaister’s question stating that the county also has a similar contract with Huntsville. There is no cost to the city. When developers make their applications to the city, the city sends them to the County Recorder/Surveyor, which charges them a standard subdivision review fee.
Commissioner Dearden moved to approve Contract C2010-211 with Marriott-Slaterville City to perform subdivision reviews; Commissioner Zogmaister seconded, all voting aye.

3. Public hearing regarding the vacation of Lots 55 and 56 of Silver Bell Estates No.1
