Mr. Chris McCandless has submitted an application for a preliminary subdivision review of a proposed development called Monte Cristo at LaCaille. This property (approximately 7.77 acres) is proposed to be subdivided into 13 single-family lots.

2. Private Road with use of pavers for road material, and lots without public frontage
3. Waiver to requirement for sidewalk & parkstrip on both sides of right-of-way
4. Subdivision with less than two points of ingress/egress
5. Single access road longer than 750' in the Sensitive Area Overlay Zone
The proposed project is located at 9701 S. 3775 E. It is zoned R-1-15. It is bordered by the LaCaille property in the County to the west. To the south and the east are single-family homes in the R-1-15 zone. To the north are single-family homes located in Cottonwood Heights.
