Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending this evening, the August 27, 2026 Riverton City Planning Commission meeting.

5:25

We're glad that you're all here.

5:26

We like to see this kind of involvement in the community.

5:30

We uh like to start off with a roll call of our commissioners, and uh then we'll do the pledge of allegiance uh led by um one of our own commissioners.

5:41

So if I could start to my right.

5:50

Commissioner Park.

5:51

Commissioner Claff.

5:52

Commissioner Marzo, Commissioner Cannon.

5:56

5:57

That uh is our whole commission, so glad that everybody's here tonight.

6:01

And Commissioner Clough, if you would please.

6:06

Please stand and repeat after me.

6:09

I quite use the United States of America for which it stands on nation under this liberty justice for all.

6:26

Thank you all.

6:31

Okay, we'll dive right in.

6:32

We do have three public hearing items on our agenda.

6:38

This evening.

6:40

If you are here to speak for or in opposition to any of these items, you will be given the opportunity to do so.

6:47

We're glad you're here for that.

6:49

Um we'll let you know when that appropriate time is.

6:54

When you, if you choose to approach um the stand, please give us your name for the record and give us your comments again for or against.

7:05

Uh again, this is it's not a question and answer period for the commission or the staff.

7:10

Uh it's uh it's an opportunity for us to get your your views, and if you could, we like to keep it to about two minutes just to make the meeting manageable.

7:18

So again, we uh we appreciate your attendance here this evening.

7:23

Okay, we'll go ahead and dive into the public hearing, start off with item two A.

7:28

This is the Quinn Private Lane, PLZ 26-2038.

7:35

This is an application for a conditional use permit for a private lane to provide access for up to three lots located at 1980 West, 13400 south, and the applicant is Dallas Quinn.

7:48

We'll turn it over to staff at this time for a report.

7:51

All right, thank you.

7:52

This is the Quinn private lane.

7:54

The commission will look at this and see that this is familiar.

7:58

The rezone application came before you a few months ago and then was passed on to city council, and it was decided then uh the rezone was put into place.

8:07

So they're just following up with the condition use for the private lane.

8:10

If the conditional use is approved tonight, they'll come back again one more time for the subdivision approval later.

8:16

So this is the area of the city we're looking at.

8:18

They're off of 134th in a section of R3 and R4 zoning.

8:23

The property is there in the middle.

8:26

It looks a little bit like it's subdivided already by the way the fencing is put on the property, but it's not, it's all one parcel.

8:35

And the zoning, um, if you recall, the planning commission recommended denial, I believe, and the city council heard it, listened to the neighbors, brought it back another time, and ended up with kind of a split zoning where there's R3 in the rear and R4 in the front to match these existing two lots in this existing lot.

8:57

So it was an R split of R4 and R3.

9:00

The applicant um is looking at doing a lot in the back and a lot in the front.

9:07

One additional, so two additional lots, three total.

9:10

Here's the flyer that went out announcing tonight's meeting and the application.

9:16

We can come back to those.

9:17

The applicant done a great job.

9:19

They've they hired a consultant and the engineer has drawn some conceptual plans.

9:24

Again, these are just conceptual to show that private lane, but I I love it when they do go the extra mile and get a consultant so we can see these a little bit better.

9:32

Here are they have two options that were in your packet.

Summary of Proceedings

Riverton City Planning Commission Meeting – August 27, 2026

The Riverton City Planning Commission met on August 27, 2026, at 6:30 PM at City Hall, 12830 S. Redwood Road. All five commissioners were present. The agenda included three public hearings: a private lane conditional use permit, an auto dealership conditional use permit and site plan, and a residential preliminary subdivision. The commission also approved the minutes from the previous meeting.

Public Hearings & Testimony

Item 2a: Quinn Private Lane (PLZ-26-2038)

  • Applicant Dallis Quinn requested a conditional use permit for a private lane to serve up to three lots at 1980 West 13400 South. He indicated preference for a curved lane option to maximize lot use.
  • Public comment: Randy Christerson expressed confusion about lane width requirements and whether a street would be more appropriate. Staff clarified that only two of the three lots would use the lane, so a 20-foot width was acceptable.
  • The commission voted unanimously to approve the permit with standard conditions 1–10.

Item 2b: OBO Auto Sales (PLZ-26-8012 & PLZ-26-2018)

  • Staff report described the proposed auto dealership at 2630 and 2610 West 12600 South, including site constraints, landscaping, lighting, and noise mitigation. Staff noted that the city council had previously approved zone text changes allowing auto dealerships in CG zones under specific conditions.
  • Applicant Ryan Harmison (architect) and owner Marco Roman addressed the commission. Mr. Roman stated the business would be a used car lot with on-site service limited to detailing, oil changes, and brakes. He committed to keeping bay doors closed during service, using electric and quiet tools, and requiring a salesperson accompany all test drives.
  • Public comment: Gerald Broderick, owner of an adjacent fourplex, raised concerns about low power lines, water meter relocation, fence installation, mailbox relocation, and traffic safety from left turns. Engineer Greg Wilson (from the applicant's team) explained that UDOT would extend the median to prevent left turns, power lines would be buried, and affected landscaping would be restored.
  • After discussion, the commission added a condition that bay doors be closed during any service work. Motion to approve (conditions 1–12 plus new condition 13) passed unanimously.

Item 2c: South View Estates (PLZ-26-1003)

  • Staff report reviewed a preliminary subdivision of up to five lots on 3.55 acres (RR-22 zoning) at 13660 South 1300 West. The site had an existing stubbed road from a 2007 plat that was never finalized. Staff noted that all utilities had been inspected and brought up to current standards.
  • Applicant Travis Schmidt (Sage Homes) said they would install a six-foot concrete/composite fence on three sides and hoped to work with neighbors regarding an existing 24-foot ingress-egress easement on the north side for the western property owner.
  • Public comments:
    • Steven Richons (adjacent property owner west) requested accurate boundaries, fence restoration, and resolution of drainage issues. He noted the easement was needed for his utilities and access.
    • Christy Butterfield (south neighbor) asked for correct addresses, proper drainage, and written boundary agreements to prevent future problems.
    • Chad Gokritz (north neighbor) asked if the easement could be relocated to avoid creating a dead space that could become overgrown.
  • The applicant and staff addressed some concerns, but the commission concluded that the easement width and fencing options were not fully resolved. Commissioner Matheson moved to continue the item to a later date, allowing the developer and neighbors time to negotiate. The motion passed unanimously.

Other Business

  • Minutes: The commission approved the August 13, 2026, meeting minutes unanimously.
  • Adjournment: The meeting adjourned after the public hearings.

Key Outcomes

  • Quinn Private Lane: Approved unanimously with conditions 1–10.
  • OBO Auto Sales: Approved unanimously with conditions 1–12 and an additional condition that bay doors be closed during service work.
  • South View Estates: Continued to a future meeting (approximately four weeks) to allow resolution of the easement width and fence placement.
