Wellsville P&Z gives initial approval to Trailside subdivision

By Jeremy Wilkins

February 24, 2005 | WELLSVILLE -- A public hearing was held to receive input on a preliminary plat for the Trailside subdivision Wednesday night.

The subdivision, on the north side of 400 North from 150 East to approximately 115 East, would consist of four building lots. The building lots would be across the street from Northern Utah Manufacturing, a plant which extracts protein from non-fat milk.

"I don't want to be left out in the cold because there's four new houses. It should be noted somewhere that people buying these houses acknowledge that we're there. We run 24 hours a day, we make some amount of noise, occasionally there's an odor and we have trucks coming and going," said Dave Bigelow of the plant.

Bigelow says he wouldn't mind people living there and actually he's "perfectly happy" to have new neighbors, he just doesn't want to have four people screaming for him to leave town.

The preliminary plat was unanimously approved by the planning commission with the recommendation to the City Council for sidewalks to be put in on 150 East and 400 North.

Approval was also given to give a level 2 home occupation permit, changed from a level 1 permit by the commission, to Steve Labrum at 143 West 400 North for painting.

Input of the commission was requested by City Manager/Recorder Don Hartle about the possibility of creating a new building lot in the Doug Bassett Subdivision on 500 South and 200 West. Hartle said he was gathering information to pass on to Andy Shock, the owner of the potential building lot.

The commission and Hartle had question as to whether the potential lot was considered a wetland and a flood plain, and said those questions would have to be resolved.
