Description/Background:
The applicant, Laura Bunker of Magleby Construction (representing the property owners Paul and Nichole Lambert), is requesting a plat amendment for the property located at 11489 S. Oberland Rd. The request is to amend a portion of the Rainbow Oaks P.U.D. Subdivision Plat by: 1) formalizing multiple lot line adjustments into a single platted lot, 2) creating a public utility water easement (including a vacation of an existing public utility easement, and 3) modifying the boundaries of the protected ≥30% slope areas. No new lots are proposed with this application.
See staff report and exhibits for further details.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission determine preliminary review is complete for the proposed amendment to the Rainbow Oaks P.U.D. Amended Plat located at 11489 S. Oberland Rd. based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions.
Findings:
1. The proposed plat amendment is necessary to consolidate lots, and to accurately reflect the location of public utility easements and protected steep slope areas. No new lots are proposed with this application.
2. No objections to the proposed plat amendment have been received by the Community Development Department to date.
3. The City Engineer finds that the originally platted protected steep slopes does not accurately reflect the current conditions of the natural 30% or greater hillside area and therefore finds good cause for the proposed plat amendment.
4. Installation of a new water line required disturbance of areas within the protected hillside, and these areas will need to be revegetated.
5. City departments and divisions have preliminarily approved the proposed subdivision plat amendment.
6. The proposed subdivision plat amendment will be finalized with city staff and recorded with the Salt Lake County Recorder’s Office.
Conditions:
1. The applicant shall comply with each department’s comments and redlines throughout the final review process and all issues shall be resolved before the subdivision plat can be recorded with the Salt Lake County Recorder’s Office.
2. All previous conditions of approval from previous subdivision applications remain in full force and effect on this property.
3. Approval to vacate the public utility easement is conditioned upon the City proceeding through the vacation process through action by the City Council.
4. A revegetation plan prepared by a licensed landscape architect shall be submitted to the Community Development Department for review and approval prior to restoration of the hillside. The objective of the plan is to mimic the native surroundings and blend into the area by applying the following standards:
a. Use native plant materials.
b. Replace existing plant and tree species with the same species.
c. Clump trees and shrubs to mimic the existing natural vegetation pattern.
d. Use the Native Cabin Blend Grass Seed Mix, which is appropriate for the site’s environment.
5. Revegetation of the disturbed hillside areas shall be completed in conjunction with the current and proposed building permits proposed for this property. The applicant shall include a detailed revegetation plan to the satisfaction of staff and obtain a grading permit to restore the affected hillside areas. The restoration shall be completed no later than October 31, 2024.
