Kamas City Council Approves High Star Ranch Annexation

A 4 to 1 vote gives the High Star Ranch its long awaited annexation approval. The council heard public comments including “this looks like a resort” and “we don’t want to be Park Cityized” but in general the Marian residents that questioned the project 2 weeks ago have given their approval. They commented on how pleased they were to see the current detailed plans tonight and were much more accepting that this would be a good thing for Kamas City. Both Ditch Companies were positive giving the responsibility to High Star. The Mail delivery, the School Bus access and Snow Removal were all well address when questioned.

The council comments started out with Kevan Todd explaining how the annexation will keep the development in this area under control compared to having a separate sewer district. Dan Littledike then gave his positive approval followed by Diana Atkinson giving her approval. Rod Atkinson still wasn’t sure and Rodney Smith was the only “na” vote and said “he had to vote his conscious” and still questioned the future Sewer Costs.

What will we now see? This summer they are planning on establishing the roads and property boundaries which will take them all summer. Then no doubt the economy will dictate the pace of development in the years to come.
