Ephraim City Council discusses development moratorium, fireworks ban
The Ephraim City Council last week weighed a proposed temporary halt on new residential subdivisions and multi-family projects, alongside a ban on fireworks and other ignition sources due to drought conditions. Neither measure was voted on at the July 1 meeting, according to the agenda. The council also reviewed a proposal to convert remaining units in the Sunrise Village on 7th subdivision to condominiums—a matter the Planning Commission had considered the week before.
City Council: Moratorium, fireworks restrictions on the table
City Council members discussed Ordinance ECO 26-10, which would impose a temporary moratorium on residential subdivision and multi-family projects. The item appeared on the agenda as a discussion item; no vote was recorded. Separately, the council reviewed Resolution ECR 26-16, which would prohibit ignition sources and fireworks in designated areas because of ongoing drought. The agenda noted a water status presentation by Jeff Jensen.
Also on the July 1 agenda was a subdivision amendment to convert the remaining units at Sunrise Village on 7th to condominiums—the same proposal the Planning Commission had taken up in a public hearing on June 24.
Planning Commission: Public hearing on Sunrise Village condo conversion
On June 24, the Ephraim Planning Commission held a public hearing on a proposal by Amy Chidester to convert the remaining units in the Sunrise Village on 7th Subdivision to condominiums. The commission was scheduled to vote on the matter after the hearing, but minutes from that meeting have not yet been published, so the outcome is not available. The agenda also included approval of prior minutes and a planner’s report.
