“Yeah, it makes sense, too, because it's more than one acre. So it doesn't have to be a nice even split down the middle.”

“Anything over here? All right. Awesome. Thanks for sharing that. Yep. All right. This is a public hearing like those before, so same guidelines apply. If anyone would like to address this agenda item, we'll go ahead and open that up for public comment now. Who would like to address that agenda item? Okay, I don't see anybody getting up, so we'll go ahead and close the public hearing portion. All right, commissioners, what are your thoughts on this one?”

“Okay, thanks, Christine. And then can you go back just real quick, Nick, to that aerial with the house on it? So just something to point out as well. It looks like, let's assume that, you know, these guys aren't surveyors, but let's assume that that line, that lot line has a little bit of... variation or deviance, it could actually jog back behind that property line. And then that's why I wanted to identify what those buildings were, just in case the lot line isn't going to be as they think. So because we don't know that yet, but they kind of have a general idea. So with knowing the nature of…”

“Yes. Yeah, it was mentioned as consideration. So, yeah, for a development agreement, sometimes we get a park or a trail. And in this case, the applicant's volunteering that he only builds one every couple years, I guess. Right? Is that what we're saying as far as that's what they volunteered as consideration?”

“Your concern is then the width. Yeah. We have a lot of these public roads, but they're like from 1920. Right. They're from before. Sure. Or they could even be, when did we start counting, 1970, 1980? I mean, whenever. It doesn't even have to go that far back, right? Right. But we have a couple of these dirt roads, these private roads, and that's what you're saying. Sometimes the city has to just take those back. And fine if it were 50, 60 years ago, but now to say yes to it now and then say shame on us for saying yes to that and then having to take it back now.”

“Just requesting to change it to something that would allow four lots. Yeah. Yeah. What's the difference when they go to private road versus flag lot? So let's move up. For example, if you look at the aerial there, there's a couple flag lots. So when does it go from a flag lot to a private road? And what are the restrictions there? So for example, if they were to cut this into requesting to cut this in half, and it was just a flag lot, not really in the back, but just access, it would be a flag lot in the back and then a smaller one in the front. Would that have the same requirements on the 26…”

“I do have a quick question. When you do your radius there, I mean, you know, it's not people's court, right? It doesn't matter what's going on around it or, you know, what precedent is. But as we're looking at this, as we're looking at the zoning, clearly there's higher density over across, right, over the new construction. These long, narrow lots, you know, aren't really similar to those. Yeah, see what I'm saying over here. So where we've gotten this, this was a development agreement as well, right, that we've gotten the orange, the golden rod there. Correct. So that was a development…”

“Yeah, so just in a radius around that. So as we look at that, fine. So with the development agreement, it Do we have anything like this? Have you seen anything like this that we can kind of gauge this is what it'll look like? Have you seen anything like this in Draper or maybe even in other cities that have these long, narrow lots that are slamming four homes with a private road down them? That's a good question. Because we get this a lot. We get this a lot because of the nature of these long, narrow, you know, pioneer lots that you put your house in the front and then you live off the land…”

“Yeah, it's not even the lot size, really. I mean, that's fair. I mean, smaller lots. We've got, for example, elements here right by that new proposed development. And right off of 3rd, I guess I should say, after you hit the charter school, there's that brand new development that went in there. And again, so people are settling on smaller lots. That's fine. It's more the orientation. So as we start to get, I mean, I'm looking at these aerials all the time. I'm looking at these, so forgive me for keep bringing these up. But that is so narrow with the orientation for this to fit. And the lots…”

“It's not so much. One of my concerns, and this isn't the city's place to decide, but the concern is, like, what kind of home can you even build on there, right? Is this going to be a, you know, 1,300-square-foot Rambler, you know, two-story? Two-story. I don't know. I don't know what they would put on there that is congruent with. I mean, you've got homes down in this, in that Wright Homes development. Those are... It can be up to $1.3 million, $1.4 million, maybe $1.8 million as you start to go across Seventh. Then you look at the new stuff that went in, very expensive. But again, these are…”

I don't see anyone, so we'll go ahead and close the public hearing portion of this agenda item. All right, commissioners, any questions that have been raised on that? I think, again, this is for a zone change, not for a plat approval or elevation and all these things that we haven't really considered. It's just strictly to ask, hey, is a four-lot zone development agreement here for four…”

“Yeah, we will. I just want to grab a couple of these questions here real quick. We will. And that's why I wrote these down. So the elevation drop, the sewer, the irrigation, but again, All that's in front of us is the zoning. And so, yeah, these are all good questions. Sure, yeah, if the applicant wants to come back up, you're welcome to come back up and address any of those, I guess, questions or concerns that you heard or anything else you'd like to add.”
