North Salt Lake Planning Commission Nov. 10: Hillside Trails Master Plan and a 40-Foot Driveway Request
North Salt Lake’s Planning Commission is scheduled to consider a Trails Master Plan for the city’s hillside trail system on Tuesday, Nov. 10. The commission meets at 6:30 p.m. at 10 E. Center St. The plan is not final: the commission’s job on this item is to decide whether to recommend it to the City Council.
What is the commission being asked to consider?
According to the meeting packet, staff recommends approval of the plan with changes that came out of an Oct. 13 Trails and Active Transportation Committee meeting and an Oct. 20 City Council work session. The proposed motion would recommend the plan with five conditions:
- Add the existing Woodbriar “ravine trail” to the maps, marked for decommissioning, and update the mileage.
- Add language on geotechnical analysis before any trail construction.
- Rename the document the “Hillside Trails Master Plan.”
- Add a “why” section to the introduction on the reasons for trails planning and current trail use.
- Note in the five-year prioritization section that it depends on future funding approval.
The packet labels the item “consideration” and does not say whether the commission will take public comment, so check the posted agenda or call the city before you go. The draft plan is attached to the packet.
What is the driveway request?
The commission is also scheduled to consider a conditional use permit for a 40-foot-wide drive approach at 974 N. Piccadilly Court, in the Amberly Place Planned District. The owner would widen an existing 28-foot approach by 12 feet to reach a planned RV pad beside the house. City code allows up to 40 feet with a permit, the packet says, and the approach would sit about 7 feet from the nearest side property line, where the code requires at least 3 feet. The city’s Development Review Committee recommends approval with no conditions.
We will report on what the commission does once the city posts it. Agendas and notices are linked on our North Salt Lake page, and more stories are in Davis County news.
Meeting dates, times and agendas are set by North Salt Lake City and can change. Confirm on the city’s website before you go.
