The Toquerville City Council approved the Hillside Development permit for Meridian at Firelight Phases 1–3 on Aug. 19, with conditions noted by staff and the city attorney.

Engineer Austin Chappell said the application met ordinance requirements after working with the city attorney and city engineer. Assistant City Manager Darrin LeFevre explained that Phase 1 would complete the connection of Westfield Road to Toquerville Parkway, and the Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions; the attorney added that Phases 2 and 3 should be conditionally approved. Councilwoman Val Preslar moved to approve the permit with Planning Commission conditions and a notation on the final plat requiring wall maintenance be enforced by CC&Rs; Councilman Joey Campbell seconded. Motion carried 5–0.

Council asked about access and the developer’s anticipated work schedule, which the engineer outlined during the presentation.
