On Oct. 9, 2025 the Morgan County Planning Commission recommended approval to the County Commission of the Meadow Park East Cottonwoods Phase 5 preliminary plat (application no. 25.009) to create 24 condominium‑style lots on approximately 7.29 acres east of Park Meadow Drive and Kingston Drive in unincorporated Morgan County.

Staff said the proposal uses condominium‑style lot lines with yards and common areas maintained by an HOA and that open space of about 3.952 acres will be provided. Reviewers included the Mountain Green Fire Protection District, the county engineer and utility providers; utilities identified in the staff report include Cottonwood Mutual Water Company (water) and Mountain Green Sewer Improvement District (sewer).

Applicant representative Skyler Gardner said the phase will stop before the steep hillside to the south, discussed coordination with the local trails committee regarding a single‑track trail through the property and confirmed the design follows the development agreement and the PUD density limits for the phase. Commissioners asked about neighborhood concerns regarding a temporary bike trail; Gardner said the developer granted permission to the trails committee and that the trail would be closed during construction for safety and then routed between specific units to maintain a corridor.

Member King moved to recommend approval of the Meadow Park East Cottonwoods Phase 5 preliminary plat application no. 25.009 for a 24‑lot subdivision, based on staff findings and conditions in the Oct. 9, 2025 staff report. Member Sessions seconded the motion; it carried unanimously.

The recommendation will be forwarded to the County Commission for final consideration.
