WINTER 2018 Building Department Report
This Winter’s building activity has been productive, and kept the Sandy Building Department busy.
The Oregon Trail School District has completed the interior conversion of the Old Sandy High School (Pioneer Building) and moved the Cedar Ridge Middle School into the building. The school was given a temporary occupancy at Thanksgiving, but did not receive the Formal Approval for Occupancy of the 1st floor level until January. (The uppers floor level halls, and rooms were not included in the scope of work other than to provide automatic fire-sprinkler protection of the entire building complex.)
Other notable projects this winter include the new WENDY’s Restaurant was completed in January. And NEXT ADVENTURE opened in time for Christmas skiing. Ron Hughes’ 9-unit apartment building on Tupper Hill is completely shelled in, dry and sheet-rocked. The SANDY FIRE STATION has turned out to be more complex and progressed slower than everyone anticipated. But the site has shaped up wonderfully.
Residential construction has slowed during the winter, but remains steady with February’s report showing 65 current residential dwelling permits — of which 36 are Townhomes. Palladian Group tops the list with 27 single family townhomes being constructed in Champion Village, and National Development has almost completed 9 townhouses near Tickle Creek. The Zion Meadows subdivision are nearly all filled. Raze Custom Homes, D. A. Gray Ltd., Richard Haggerty, and Matt Stott Construction have19 homes currently under construction. And Colby Custom Construction, Tom Orr Construction, SKS Construction, Ron Haggerty and Vanport Builders are creating 10 other quality homes in Sandy.
