Glenmar Ranches development breaks ground in EM

By Mike Kieffer
On May 2, the Glenmar Ranches development officially broke ground. The development consists of 16.17 acres and is divided into 11 lots with an average lot size of 1.3 acres. The density for this subdivision is 7.8 units per acre. The subdivision is located on west side of Lake Mountain Road and east of Pony Express Parkway. The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by several residents and Eagle Mountain's Mayor Christopher Pengra.
The subdivision is being developed by Marianne and Glen Smith, which is where it gets the name Glenmar. Glen, then Glen part of the Glenmar, will not be able to see this part of his dream fulfilled. Glen passed away around Christmas of 2016. Twenty years ago, when the city was first created, several of the organization planning meetings were done not far from the Glenmar site in the basement of Marianne's home. Marianne has lived in Eagle Mountain part-time since 1989 and year-round since 2007. Marianne was given the honor of being the first grand marshal of the annual Pony Express Days parade in 2016.
The Glenmar Ranches rezone was first denied by the city council along with the Eagle Mountain Benches development. The Glenmar Ranches development was later approved after being reconsidered by the city council. One of the conditions on the rezone was that the new development would only include one acre or larger lots. The lots range from one to almost two acres in size. The lots have a selling price of $135,000 to $165,000 per lot. The lots will have water and power hookups with the possibility of a natural gas hookup as well. Smith is currently working with surrounding property owners on getting natural gas to the development. If arrangements are not made, the lots would require propane tanks like the majority of residents currently living on Lake Mountain Road. The lots will not be connected to the city sewer system and will be required to have a county-approved septic tank. Eagle Mountain City allows septic tanks on lots that are larger than one acre and that are more than 300 feet from an existing sewer line.
The lots have a good view of the Cedar Valley. Lots will be sold through Kathy Grover, a Re/Max Overland associate and current Eagle Mountain resident. The excavation and road work for the project will be done by Willy Miller, owner of Arrow Engineering, also an Eagle Mountain resident.
