FROM TERRE GIFT, BUILDING OFFICIAL – In spite of the unpredictable weather experienced in April, the City of Sandy saw a significant increase in the number of Single-Family (SFR) permits issued, as well as an increase in the number of smaller residential and commercial projects.
Residential projects: Hayden Homes remains the most active builder with 3 homes finaled and 9 more in progress. Villa Vista Homes at Snowberry subdivision finaled 3 homes in April and currently has 8 in progress. Stonecreek Development finaled 1 home and had 2 others under construction. Raze Construction is building 1 home in Salmon Creek Estates..
The number of Townhouses being constructed has risen. Jerry Gravell finaled 4 townhouses in April and has 4 more cleared to start foundations. Ed Wagoner is progressing thru various stages of construction on 5 townhouses, with one nearing completion. In addition, TJ Veeker of Villa Vista Homes has new 6 Townhomes framed and 7 completed.
Of special interest in April was the final inspection for a new beauty shop on Pioneer BLvd. called, “A PLACE FOR YOUR FACE.” The new owner has done a terrific job in renovating the space. Another project was the repair of the building sewer line under the O’Reilly Auto Parts store, which clears the way for the new laundry mat to be added to the sewer system. Lastly, the Sandy High School Tennis Club has nearly completed their new buildings, which are almost ready for final inspection and approval. (Only ADA access into the buildings, and roof gutters and downspouts appear to be missing.) In all, April was a busy month, and summer has yet to really begin!
3) URBAN RENEWAL – The first phase of wayfinding signage has been installed. We are still fine tuning the installation but I believe it has been noticeable and is looking good.
