The Sandy Planning Commission convened on August 7, 2025, at 6:15 PM to discuss several key agenda items, including the preliminary subdivision review for the Fireflies subdivision and the Jordan Scribe Union Subdivision.

The meeting commenced with a motion regarding the Fireflies subdivision, located at approximately 517 East 8680 South. A commission member moved to determine that the preliminary subdivision review was substantially complete, contingent upon eight conditions. A second was promptly received, and a minor amendment was made to correct a typo in the street name from 8680 to 8620. The motion, including the amendment, was unanimously approved by the commission members present.

Following this, the commission turned its attention to the Jordan Scribe Union Subdivision. Doug Wheelwright, the Development Services Manager, presented the details of the project, which involves upgrading the exterior of the Jordan Credit Union building and modifying the parking lot layout. The site, historically part of the Jordan District, is now under the Canyons School District. The proposed changes include combining two parcels into one through a subdivision plat, which also involves dedicating street widening along 300 East.

Wheelwright explained that the project aims to modernize the existing building while improving traffic patterns and landscaping. Nate Reiner, the civil engineer representing the applicant, confirmed that the existing building will remain in use but will undergo significant aesthetic upgrades. The project will also enhance the surrounding area by reducing the parking lot size and increasing landscaping.

Commission members raised questions regarding the street dedication and its implications for local residents. Concerns about noise from the new design were addressed, with assurances that a masonry screening wall would be constructed to mitigate sound for nearby residents.

The commission noted that the item had been publicly noticed, allowing for community input. The meeting continued with further discussions on the site plan implications, focusing on the layout changes and improvements to the property.

In summary, the meeting highlighted the commission's commitment to enhancing local developments while addressing community concerns. The approval of the Fireflies subdivision and the ongoing discussions regarding the Jordan Scribe Union Subdivision reflect the planning commission's proactive approach to urban development in Sandy.
