The Fairview Town Council held a special meeting on November 25, 2024, beginning with a closed session to consult with legal counsel and discuss real property matters. The meeting transitioned back to public session around 4:43 PM, where the council addressed a significant motion regarding a nonbinding memorandum of settlement with the LDS Church.
The council outlined a compromise reached during discussions with attorneys from both sides. The motion involved accepting the general dimensions of the settlement, which will lead to a public meeting where residents can engage and ask questions. Following this, the LDS Church will submit a new proposal to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review.
The timeline for these developments suggests that the council may revisit the matter as early as March or April 2025. Councilman Little made the motion to approve the memorandum, which was seconded and unanimously accepted by the council, with the exception of Councilman Doi, who was absent.
The meeting concluded with a clear path forward for community involvement and further deliberation on the proposed settlement.
