Commissioner Jim Harvey expressed concern about potential cost to the county beyond the scope of the development, known as the Lomond View master planned community (formerly Terakee the River), and the project’s proximity to an oxbow adjacent to the Weber River. The adjacent parcel is not owned by the applicant, Heritage Land Holdings LLC, but the former owner of the project area, Terakee Properties LP.
The commission approved the final reading of an ordinance increasing some fees at the Weber County Transfer Station. Beginning July 1, the county will pay Republic Services $35.79 per ton — an increase of $1.57 — for the transfer and disposal of solid waste. As a result, the general waste and construction/demolition tipping fees the station charges will rise from $50.00 to $52.24 per ton.
Additionally, the fee for mattresses in excess of the first two will increase from $5 to $15 per mattress. The first two mattresses are included in the tipping fee, but each additional mattress will be charged at the new rate.
Finally, the commission approved the first reading of an ordinance increasing county sewer fees for residents living within the unincorporated area of the Central Weber Sewer Improvement District. That rate will increase from $12.95 to $14.45 (plus the amount of the Central Weber Sewer Improvement District service fee).
