Sandy City is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 3.2 acres, located at 10149 and 10181 S Altavilla Dr., in Salt Lake County, Utah. The subject property under consideration for annexation contains two parcels. The owner of these two parcels signed a water letter agreement consenting to annex the properties into Sandy City on October 20, 2015, in exchange for Sandy City providing water to these properties.
