Emery County planners approve Desert Edge minor subdivision for Andersons

The Emery County Planning Commission on Sept. 9 approved the Desert Edge minor subdivision, allowing owners Troy and Suzanne Anderson to convey a 3.222‑acre hayfield from their 11.034‑acre property to buyers the Ewells.

Troy Anderson told the commission, “we have completed all of the paperwork,” and said the parcel will support a single home with no new roads, curb-and‑gutter or sidewalks. Commissioners asked about utilities and septic arrangements; applicants said they will install about 2,100 feet of waterline to reach the city limits and have submitted a septic design to the health department that is awaiting written approval.

Chair Gary Arrington called for a motion to approve; a commissioner made the motion and another seconded it. The chair declared the motion passed unanimously, with a condition that final signatures and the county recorder’s certificate be completed following the absence of Commissioner Jim Jennings. Applicants indicated they will return with notarized signatures for recording.

The approval covers a change of ownership of the specified 3.222‑acre parcel; applicants and commissioners noted there is an existing power pole that will be used for service and that the new meter and underground service will be installed before occupancy. No vote tally listing individual commissioners was provided in the transcript.
