The Parowan City Council convened on May 29, 2025, to address several pressing issues, including the development of an annexation agreement and the reconsideration of a conditional use permit for the Painted Hills RV Park.

The meeting began with discussions surrounding the Prime West development. Council members expressed concerns raised by residents regarding the safety of a subdivision with only one access point. In response, the council agreed to move forward with developing an annexation agreement, with a motion made and unanimously approved.

The council then shifted focus to the Painted Hills RV Park, where the conditional use permit for longer stays was under scrutiny. Councilman Harris highlighted that the requirements for the permit had not been met, particularly regarding the installation of a privacy fence. Concerns were raised about the effectiveness of the current chain link fence with privacy slats, which many council members felt did not provide adequate privacy for neighboring residents, particularly Mr. Robinson, who expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of a solid barrier.

The discussion revealed a significant divide among council members regarding the interpretation of what constituted a "solid fence." Several members voiced their disappointment that the current installation did not align with the original intent of providing privacy. The council debated the timeline for the installation of the fence and shrubs, with some members insisting that the conditions of the permit had not been fulfilled.

Ultimately, the council decided to table the discussion on the conditional use permit to allow for further review and to seek a resolution that would satisfy both the residents and the developers. A motion to table the issue was made and passed unanimously.

The meeting concluded with a closed session to discuss the character and professional competence of an individual, after which the council planned to reconvene to continue their business. The council's commitment to addressing community concerns and ensuring compliance with city regulations was evident throughout the discussions.
