Francis City Planning Commission March 19, 2015 Commissioner Cannon asked is there a time frame they have to complete the project. Engineer Kettle answered the code allows one year to complete infrastructure or come back to the City Council for an extension. Planner Burrell stated there are three possible developments coming up. One is Tifton Hills, which is east of Foothill Drive. Planner Burrell stated this was started in 2007, it is 106 acres, and Preliminary approval has been given. The City has an annexation agreement. The Developer was killed in a plane crash and his daughters have inherited the property. Planner Flygare asked where the ingress and egress are. Engineer Kettle answered one entrance is off of SR 35 at the bend, that has been one of the biggest hurdles, getting UDOT approval, the other entrance is off Foothill Drive, there is a house that will be torn down and the lot turned into a road. Planner Burrell stated they also have to create their own well and the City will not let them tap into the same aquifer as our city well. Planner Flygare asked when they will come to the Planning Commission. Engineer Kettle answered we just heard from their Engineer, it could be in two to three months or it could be in six months. Engineer Kettle stated they are operating under the old code because it was started under the old code. Commissioner Handsaker asked if they have already been to the Planning Commission and City Council, now do they need to come back to the Planning Commission? Engineer Kettle answered yes. Commissioner Bushman asked for the reason they have to put in a separate well. Engineer Kettle explained the City has two wells and tanks, those wells and tanks cannot provide the required water pressure to that subdivision because it is on the back side of the hill. They have to drill their own well and have their own tank to provide water for that subdivision. Engineer Kettle added they also have to run a sewer line from Foothill to SR 32 because the City did not want to add more homes to the Foothill lift station because it is too small and lift stations are a pain in the butt. Planner Flygare asked if Francis City will take care of the road. Engineer Kettle answered yes, Francis City agreed they would be public roads.
