Description/Background:
Sandy City is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 3.81 acres, located at 2998 E Apple Hollow Cove in Salt Lake County, Utah. The subject property under consideration for annexation contains three parcels. The developer signed a water letter consenting to annex into Sandy City on February 15, 2002, in exchange for Sandy City providing water to this property.
The City Council approved Resolution 26-21C on March 3, 2026, which set a public hearing for April 7, 2026, and directed the City Recorder to publish and send notice of the hearing in accordance with Utah Code.
