Development near Mountain View gets approval

By Linda Petersen
SARATOGA SPRINGS — The city council has approved the first phase of a major development near the future Mountain View Corridor west of Harvest Hills.

On January 16, the city council approved nine different preliminary plats for the first phase of the 800-acre Wildflower planned community development which is primarily residential. The south portion of the Village Plan (Village Plan 1) is 157.14 acres and contains 569 lots for single-family homes, 15 acres of neighborhood parks and a church site. There will be 30 percent open space. The future Mountain View Corridor bisects the property and consists of approximately 145 acres.

Senior Planner Nora Shepherd told the council they tried to make the lot sizes as consistent as possible with Harvest Hills.

The future Mountain View Corridor bisects the property and consists of approximately 145 acres. The developer has committed that Foothill Blvd. (the future Mountain View Corridor), will be finished before the homes are built.

Developer Sunrise LLC's representative Nate Shipp of DAI told the city council they had secured funding to get a couple of the frontage roads complete which delayed the project by 18 months. He feels that he has now developed a relationship of trust with UDOT, he said.

The development will be accessed by the extensions of Harvest Hills Boulevard and Harvest Moon Drive. The developer will require its contractors to access the construction site using the military road.

The plan includes a walkable trail to Harvest Elementary School at 2105 N. Providence Drive.

A community plan for the Wildflower Community (also called Gilead) was originally approved in February 2015 and was later amended and approved in July 2017. The development's open space is scattered throughout the residential subdivisions as neighborhood parks and as natural open space to the west of the residential development.

The residential component will eventually consist of 1,041 Equivalent Residental Units and 425 ERUs of Mountain View housing (on the west side of MVC).
