February 19, 2008 | BRIGHAM CITY -- The City Council has approved plans for a 128-lot subdivision on the far north end of Brigham City. Part of that plan includes a petition to the county to annex a small portion of county land into Brigham City limits. The land to be annexed is owned by Kotter Canyon Estates, LLC.

The Kotter Canyon subdivision is located on the east side of Highway 38, between 900 North and 1500 North. In the original plat submitted to the city for consideration, the entire subdivision would have fit within the existing boundaries. However, the Army Corps of Engineers required the developers to push the subdivision to the east, because a small piece of land in that reqion is designated as wetlands.

By doing so, there are six lots on the far east side of the subdivision that extend into the county.

The agreement signed by the city allowed the subdivision to be accepted, giving the developers six months to work through the annexation process.

The county recorder's office has reviewed the plat, and a deed restriction will be placed on the six lots. Homes cannot be built on them until the annexation has been approved. The annexation process must be complete by June 1 or the county will require Brigham City to remove those lots from the plat.

This agreement allows the developers to begin work on the site immediately instead of waiting until later this summer.
