Commission approves 150,000‑gallon buried water tank at 9950 Tempview Lane

The Eastern Summit County Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit on March 16 to install a 150,000‑gallon buried water storage tank at 9950 Tempview Lane, replacing two smaller existing tanks.

Planner Laura presented the application, saying staff reviewed the proposal, found it to comply with the county code and had received no public comment. “There is currently two smaller water tanks that exist on the site now, and they're proposing to replace that with a 150,000 gallon, buried storage tank,” she told the commission.

The chair opened the public hearing and recorded no in‑person or Zoom testimony. An unidentified commissioner moved to approve the permit with the findings, conclusions and conditions in the staff report; a second was given. The commission approved the motion by voice vote; no roll‑call tally is recorded in the transcript.

Staff characterized the proposal as straightforward and recommended approval. The permit record will include the staff report findings and conditions discussed at the hearing.
