After a review of hundreds of documents, a hearing lasting over 3 hours, and over a month of deliberations, the Kanab Appeals Officer has denied an appeal by the Kane County Tax Payers Association (TPA) challenging the Kanab City Planning Commission’s issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to Viresco Energy.  The full decision, available HERE, dismisses all the arguments presented by the TPA, stating unequivocally that the Planning Commission did not act arbitrarily or illegally, as had been accused.

The Permit allows Viresco to exceed the height limitations in the M-2 zone for two smokestacks if the applicant meets seven conditions.  The conditions cover areas such as emissions, appearance, safety, and removal of the smokestacks if operations cease.

This is the 3^rd appeal brought forward by the TPA regarding land use decisions over the last year, and in each instance, the City’s actions have been upheld after careful review. 

As the first official step for adopting a budget for the fiscal year that runs from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013, the Kanab Council adopted a tentative budget for the public to review and comment on (click HERE to view the tentative budget).

A publice hearing is set for June 7 at 7pm at the Kane County Courthouse, with the Council intending to make any needed changes and adopt a final budget at their regular meeting on June 12.
