Alington Subdivision Planned Unit Development
Description
33.67 acres with 256 Flex Ready detached homes, commercial frontage on SR-138, private alleys, and 18% open space; requested deviations include reduced setbacks, a seven-foot perimeter buffer, and 60% lot coverage.
Impact summary
If approved as revised, Sun Valley neighbors would get fewer homes behind them and a tall fence, while the city gets a 12-inch waterline, UDOT intersection improvements, and entry-level housing — but residents still worry about traffic, school capacity, and density.

Grantsville City Council Regular Meeting — September 16, 2026
A proposed 256-home flex-home PUD next to Sun Valley Drive's one-acre lots, with 11 requested code deviations. Tabled again so the developer can redraw with about 20 fewer homes, quarter-acre perimeter lots, a precast concrete fence, and restored open space and amenities.

Alington PUD density, buffering and compatibility
A 256-home flex-home development next to Sun Valley Drive's one-acre lots has been contested for months. This meeting produced a rough compromise — about 20 fewer homes, quarter-acre perimeter lots, and a six-foot concrete fence — but the plan was tabled until the developer can redraw it.
Water supply for future growth
Speakers cited the governor's drought emergency order and said Grantsville is already rationing irrigation water, arguing hundreds of new homes threaten existing residents' water security. The developer said water rights were fully vetted.
Area-wide traffic study request for Sun Valley/SR-138/SR-112 corridor
Speaker after speaker described dangerous, congested conditions on SR-138 and Main Street — long waits to turn, speeding, crashes, and a fatality — arguing a 256-unit project will make it worse. UDOT's study did not warrant a signal, but deceleration lanes are required.
Growth impacts on schools, services and taxes
A resident estimated 100-plus new students from the 256 homes would strain Broken Wells Elementary, which already sits at state teacher-student ratios, and complicate bus routes along Main Street.
