Pleasant Grove — The Pleasant Grove Planning Commission on Oct. 23, 2025, approved a preliminary four‑lot residential subdivision plat for property at 835 East 200 South in the R1‑10 single‑family residential zone.
Staff presented the application as a conventional subdivision that divides an approximately 1.255‑acre parcel into four lots that meet the zone’s minimum area and width requirements. Jacob Hawkins of the city planning department told commissioners the plat—identified in the staff report as Thornberry Estates Plat A—“meets all the requirements from zoning and engineering and so staff recommends approval.”
Hawkins said the overall parcel measures “almost 55,000 square feet” and that each lot meets the R1‑10 minimums of 10,000 square feet of lot area and a minimum 90 feet in width. He noted that standard public‑improvement requirements—curb, gutter and sidewalk—remain to be completed before final plat approval. No variances or exceptions were noted in the staff presentation.
The planning commission moved to approve the preliminary plat; the motion was made by Commissioner Nelson and seconded by Commissioner Martineau. The motion was approved by voice vote and the chair announced the motion carried.
The record indicates the applicant/owner name was spoken several ways during the meeting (the transcript refers to Denny Farnworth and to Danny Farnsworth); an engineering representative, Mark Greenwood of ALM and Associates, later spoke on related items and identified himself as representing the owner. The staff report and the commission’s action as recorded focus on the plat meeting the numeric zoning standards and the outstanding infrastructure items required before final platting.
Next steps for the project were not specified in the hearing record provided. The commission’s action was recorded as approval of the preliminary plat with the findings and conditions in the staff report; the record does not include a detailed roll‑call tally for the vote.
