WEST POINT -- The city council approved the release of Paice Farms Phase 2 subdivision from warranty.

The development, located at 4750 W. 300 North, was placed on warranty in November of 2006. The subdivision was guaranteed by a letter of credit that expired years ago, leaving the city without any leverage to complete the project.

The broken curb, gutter and sidewalks have now been repaired, a requirement to be released from warranty.

Tim Gooch, the developer for Lindon Estates Phase 2 Subdivision, requested to be released from warranty.

This subdivision is located at 1650 N. 4700 West.

The warranty period began on Oct. 6, 2009. This required an inspection of the improvements; and, that inspection was completed in the fall of 2010. The inspector found that the developer completed the list of items that needed to be repaired or replaced before the warranty period ended. The city council unanimously approved the request on Dec. 20.

Next phase of West Point subdivision gets OK

Correspondent Standard-Examiner

Last updated Thursday, January 5, 2012 - 1:12pm

The city council unanimously approved Phase 2 of the Bartholomew Lane subdivision, located at 3600 W. 1300 North.

The planning commission approved the expansion of this 13 lot cul-de-sac in December of 2010 and granted the developer a one-year extension for the required lot sales.

The city code requires 80 percent of the lots to be sold before expansion. Phase 1 of the subdivision has now sold more than 90 percent of the lots.

This project is the first development in West Point to use land drains in the backyards to prevent standing water.
