Allred said he had worked with the planning department and found a staff report dated March 6, 2024 that lists 11 criteria for flag-lot approval. \"I just wanted to address city council and see why those were denied and maybe see if we can reopen that discussion for reconsideration,\" Allred said, adding that he believes his lot would meet all 11 criteria.

Council members and staff advised Allred to meet with the city planner, Sean Conroy, to review the specific code provisions and the prior record. Conroy told Allred he is the staff member most versed in the ordinances and recommended setting a meeting to compare the application to the staff report and previous council action. Allred said he will set up that meeting.

No formal action or vote was taken; the council directed the resident to pursue a staff-level review with the planner as the next step.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting - 8/20/25","oneSentenceSummary","Resident Clay Allred asked the council to reopen a prior denial of a proposed flag-lot subdivision at 528 West 1600 North, saying the lot meets the staff report's 11 criteria; planning staff advised him to meet with the city planner for a code review.","taxTitle","Mapleton, Utah County, Utah","taxId",4708,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6589315,"Mapleton council adopts updated parks impact-fee analysis; single-family fee rises to $5,861",556,1417000,1973000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5611407-6d121d51fd1a34017a352218a51056a3&start=1417&end=1973","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5611407-6d121d51fd1a34017a352218a51056a3/thumbnail_1417000.jpg","/articles/6589315/Mapleton/Utah-County/Utah/Mapleton-council-adopts-updated-parks-impact-fee-analysis-single-family-fee-rises-to-5861","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6589315-0ceb2ee30b31b71ee0f5d87bc61ee165/orig.mp4?Expires=1770656040&Signature=hKfmRFI~2Hr1krI8XxWcne6BuMwtObpzSoEERKU5JOvzRCczQhUM~kRxWh-gX-1RD8YvCkfsTeDxkk6WH88Zw~kH1qfgFqrXrMSaUbSdZMtOIbq7nrjlu5B1TARD9b34yZ7rYL0dnVGECvtV7UIZ1nXC~dxQQTw9B9JA9cMgCa6HP9nArbeK~Y7tosi9zESo6coASSCJ46ITJHdc1S5PQoDsC2nHAFgqP52PbxT25hFGOGT2A~TfWvS9uX~Q02SwwzBdBmKXd2t-CU6wd7FB1aswVKTgFce~gTE1dVUW3KyhSf0VhqF6~mSTl1Rzobw87EsYWMITC2AiqXssZ-BRCQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mapleton City Council on Aug. 20 adopted an updated impact fee facilities plan and impact fee analysis for parks and recreation and approved associated impact fees. Staff and the consultant told the council the update reflects post-2021 changes in development and land costs.

City staff said the previously adopted single-family parks impact fee was $3,587 and the study recommends a new fee of $5,861 per single-family home. The transcript records staff saying, \"This impact fee study is proposing a fee of 5,861 for single family homes.\" The staff presentation also stated a proposed multifamily fee figure (current multifamily listed as $13.84 in the report and the proposed multifamily fee listed as $2,930 in the study documents presented to council).

Staff and the consultant explained the principal driver of the increase was land acquisition cost. A council member asked whether impact fees alone would cover long-term needs; staff replied they would not. The staff presentation referenced a planning-horizon estimate that Mapleton will need approximately $10,000,000 in parks-related investment to maintain the proposed level of service; staff said other funding sources will be required and cautioned against relying solely on impact fees because of market volatility.

Fred (consultant) was noted as delayed by traffic, and Logan (staff) led parts of the presentation. Councilmember Beck moved to adopt the impact fee facility plans and analysis and associated impact fees for parks and recreation; Councilmember Jones seconded. The motion passed with recorded votes from Councilmembers Beck, Jones, Garrett, Carlson and Egbert.","The council adopted an impact fee facilities plan and fee schedule for parks and recreation that raises the single-family residential fee from the previous figure to $5,861; staff and consultants said land values were the primary driver of the increase.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6589320,"Mapleton adopts water use and conservation element to general plan",80,938000,1018000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5611407-6d121d51fd1a34017a352218a51056a3&start=938&end=1018","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5611407-6d121d51fd1a34017a352218a51056a3/thumbnail_938000.jpg","/articles/6589320/Mapleton/Utah-County/Utah/Mapleton-adopts-water-use-and-conservation-element-to-general-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6589320-55652351b19aa05ddb40cd141655ecec/orig.mp4?Expires=1770656040&Signature=UZthM4cyJN8Tgc3oSkGP79u54H~96bqGKuSfvsIoHznrxs8iE~CT7qrAHy2IittBhCr81twSVmqJuFxXJWHdQYdIV-8QGyL1pKQWooIztatWU3DAg~LjVmif1UkTxnBBvquIdVzDvs0p~mfEW8PnQFhYIYJedK1ZUqCEbxwHZ5eT~MA3EdQT4H6PwB~YsMS05yL89RpouOZ1Ep6cu7ylS4KZv2f3dK01v2WZ1MQFKn91qVACGmbdJP6PvmZm9OifS-CrZ69jZkci6siF~kh7JUc-2vvFm0QKmOPeUG0SRB36U9LlMw0mhQMIblz697kJYdzG0HOcrbt5k22YHerVgQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mapleton City Council on Aug. 20 adopted an ordinance adding a water use and conservation element to the city's general plan, a change staff said aligns the city with recent state law requirements and consolidates the 2023 water conservation plan into the general plan.

Sean Conroy, the city planner, told the council that \"recent changes to state law require the city to adopt a water conservation element of the general plan, and they outline specific requirements that need to be included in that.\" Conroy said most requirements were already addressed in Mapleton's existing water master plans and in the 2023 conservation plan, and the staff proposal is to amend that document rather than create a separate plan.

Council members asked about on-the-ground work identified in the document. A staff member said the city \"worked with Logan to put together some plans for at least around some of our public works facilities\" and that those plantings \"will be done well before 2027,\" referring to the document's stated goal to have demonstration water-wise landscaping by Dec. 31, 2027. The ordinance also incorporates language aligning the city's land-use and landscaping standards with the conservation element, Conroy said.

There were no public comments during the public hearing on the item. Councilmember Jones moved to adopt the ordinance; Councilmember Egbert seconded. The motion passed with recorded votes from Councilmembers Jones, Egbert, Beck, Garrett and Carlson.

Conroy told the council the conservation element will be reviewed on the five-year cycle required by the statute and brought back for a full renewal and update in the coming years. The staff explanation said the amendment is primarily intended to ensure Mapleton's general plan meets the specific content requirements established by the recent change in state law.","On Aug. 20 Mapleton City Council voted to adopt an ordinance adding a water use and conservation element to the city's general plan to comply with recent state law changes and to consolidate existing water planning documents.","actionData","errors"]
