Resident asks council to intervene in water-connection dispute for Lone Peak Canyon plat amendment

During the general public comment period, longtime Draper resident and developer Dave Mast told the council he is seeking a plat amendment for Lone Peak Canyon that would reduce seven lots to three and return four water connections to the city at no charge. Mast said his plat amendment has been delayed for months because the Draper Water Department expects him to identify where a future connection for a larger lot will be located, a requirement he described as unreasonable.

"I'm taking 7 lots, reducing them to 3 lots," Mast said, explaining that he cannot predict precisely where a future buyer will place a house on a one-acre lot versus a third-acre lot. He said he is willing to put a conditional note on the plans and asked the council and staff — particularly Mayor and staff — to "huddle with staff" and see what can be done to expedite the plat amendment process. Council acknowledged the comment; no formal action was taken during the meeting and staff follow-up was invited.
