The Sanpete County Commissioners will conduct a Public Hearing on Tuesday, July 7th, 2015, to receive comment on an addition to the Sanpete County Land Use Ordinance relevant to the Wildland Urban Interface Code (WUI) and related amendments.

The public hearing will be held at 1:45 p.m., at the Sanpete County Courthouse, 160 North Main, Suite 101, Manti, Utah.

The Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Code impacts any lot or subdivision located within the Wildland Urban Interface Zone, requiring such property owners to comply with the 2006 WUI Code.

The WUI Code assists in providing fire protection within designated urban wildlands.

Generally, the WUI Code imposes water supply requirements to lots and subdivisions, requires buildings and structures to meet construction requirements for Class 1 Ignition Resistant Construction and imposes fire defensible space requirements, such as removing trees, shrubs, grasses and other combustible materials a certain distance away from structures.

The entirety of the proposed, detailed addition and amendments can be reviewed in the Sanpete County Building/Zoning Office at 160 North Main Street, Suite 201, Manti, Utah, or can be viewed on the County Website.

For additional information or further clarification, please contact Scott Olsen, Sanpete County Zoning Administrator at (435) 835-2113.

Dated this 16th day of June 2015.

Sanpete Neill

Sanpete County Clerk
