Planning Commission — July 30, 2026
A developer wants a 14-foot stone-and-wood subdivision entrance sign along the scenic Echo Trail corridor, double the 6-foot Floyds Fork limit. Neighborhood groups say it tramples the scenic-corridor rules fought for since the 1990s; the commission is giving both sides a month to compromise.
Development Review Committee — July 15, 2026
A developer wants a 14-foot subdivision entrance sign on Echo Trail, more than double the 6-foot cap in the Floyds Fork overlay's scenic corridor. Staff said no; the committee split and punted it to the full Planning Commission on July 30.
