Commissioner Binkerd is worried about access to the development from Little Sweden road. Nephi explained that would only be a limited use access.

4- Council actions report: Report on action items that the Town council has or will be considering
The Council is moving forward with resurfacing some of the roads: Daniel Rd, Mill Rd, and part of South Field Rd. HL&P talked to the Town Council about a rate increase. They received a couple more business applications. The Council was informed that Daniel Academy has reapplied for their license and has also opened another school in Heber. They have requested their own Blue Stake indicator. The Council is considering hiring one, full time person as a Public Works employee. They have discussed the tracking, authorization and collection of impact fees. They adopted the two letters submitted concerning Agricultural Building requirements and Temporary Land Use letter. They are now part of applications process.
5- Daniel Town Planning Director Report
There were some issues between property owners and the town right-of-way. Some trees were in that right-of-way and needed to be removed.
Commissioner Weight suggested that in future owners need to be able to verify septic system locations on properties purchased for development and included on future building plans. This will help solve the problem of possible overlapping septic systems on smaller lots. Overlapping systems could invalidate having a buildable lot.
The Bennett’s home in Big Hollow has blocked the culvert. Ryan will check into that.
Commissioner Skinner commented that a neighbor across the street from her on Ranch Drive has brought in and placed a large outbuilding on his property. If the building is 200 feet square or less a building permit is not required. Check town code 8.21.29.
