Decisions Made
1. Public Hearing for "Amare Vita" Residential Subdivision Continued: Due to the public notice being one day short of the required 10-day period, the Public Hearing was opened and immediately continued. The Planning Commission retained the ability to discuss the item but could not close the hearing.

Action Items
| Task | Responsible Party | Notes |
| Continue Public Hearing for "Amare Vita" to a future meeting with proper notice | Planning Commission / Staff | Required due to 10-day notice deficiency |
| Correct typo in July 15, 2025 Meeting Minutes ("Ms. March" → "Ms. Marsh") | City Staff (Carrie Marsh) | Noted on Page 12 of those minutes |
| Applicant to pursue variance for reduced minimum lot widths on east side of creek | J.U.B. Engineering / Applicant | Variance to be heard by Administrative Appeals Officer; Subdivision approval may be conditioned on variance being granted |
| Clarify setback and private road questions with applicant during Regular Meeting discussion | Planning Commission / Carrie Marsh | Commissioner Berndt raised questions about setbacks and private road; Ms. Marsh indicated applicant could answer during Regular Meeting |

Other Notable Items
Agenda reordering: Chair Roach directed the Commission to consider the "Oly Vista" Subdivision Amendment (Item 2) ahead of other agenda items so the applicant would not have to wait; Items 2 and 3 were also to be discussed before Items 1A and 1B during the Work Session
LUDMA clarification: City Attorney Christopherson noted that the State Legislature eliminated public hearing requirements for subdivision modifications under the Land Use, Development, and Management Act (LUDMA) for cities, but Planning Commission approval remains required for subdivision plat amendments
Creek setback clarification: Undeveloped parcels require a 100-foot setback from Big Cottonwood Creek; already-developed parcels have a 50-foot setback requirement
PUD open space/amenity note: Unlike Holladay Village, there is no requirement for public amenities on private lands in this PUD context; City benefit may include open space or tree preservation
"Oly Vista" context: The 15-ft × 140.84-ft strip being added has a slope and existing drainage issues; the addition does not change what is currently permitted on the site; two dwellings are already allowable in the R-1-10 Zone without the extra land
