Laketown takes up corner-lot rule and North Main right-of-way vacation; no minutes published yet
Laketown's Planning and Zoning Commission and its Town Council have both taken up a proposed rule on corner lot sizes and setbacks, and the Town Council has also considered vacating a strip of town right-of-way on North Main Street. The commission met Sept. 30 and the Council met Oct. 7. As of Oct. 13, no minutes from either meeting have been published, so the available record shows what was scheduled and proposed — not what was decided. The agendas provided contain no vote tallies and no dollar amounts.
Corner lots: Ordinance 2026-08
The proposed ordinance would increase the minimum corner lot size to 0.67 acre and clarify setbacks on all street sides to 30 feet on corner lots within Laketown city limits.
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on the proposal Sept. 30. According to its agenda, the commission may vote to recommend approval, approval with modifications, or denial to the Town Council.
The Town Council held its own public hearing on Ordinance 2026-08 on Oct. 7, starting at 6:00 PM at the Laketown Office, 10 North 200 East, Laketown, Utah. Notice was posted Sept. 24, 2026. The public could give written or oral comments, and the Council may discuss or approve the item during the meeting that followed the hearings.
North Main Street right-of-way: Ordinance 2026-09
The Council also held a public hearing on a proposal to vacate a strip of town right-of-way on the west side of North Main Street. As described in the agenda, the strip runs from the stop sign at the northwest corner of North Main Street and East Center Street, extending about 470 feet north, and is approximately 22 feet wide. The Council may adopt an ordinance to vacate that portion of right-of-way.
Other items on the Oct. 7 Council agenda
- Review and approval of bids for 2026-27 Town Street Snow Removal and traffic sign replacement.
- Discussion of Ordinance 2026-07 to amend the Transient business License fee and procedure.
- Possible vote on Ordinance 2026-04 regarding fees in lieu of water shares/rights dedication.
The Sept. 30 Planning and Zoning agenda also listed a request from Dennis Hodges for an electrical run to an outbuilding, and a report from the City Council.

No vote counts and no dollar figures appear in the agendas provided. Missing minutes are not evidence that nothing happened; they mean the outcome is not yet documented in the material available.
