A former RV resident sent a complaint to the city of Lehi warning of a “humanitarian crisis.' “There is no proper drainage and they serve food every weekend literally over pig [s---],” he wrote. “This place needs to be checked out big time.”
The county has fined the Lehi Farmers Market. But it still sells veggies, fruit and jams Fridays and Saturdays.
Durrant’s neighbors have submitted dozens of complaints in recent months. They say she is not obeying county laws and they have safety concerns. It’s a rare move to involve law enforcement, Armstrong said, but the sheriff’s office was asked to investigate Durrant’s property as part of an “expedited enforcement process” after the county learned it was being used as an RV park and campsite. Typically, he said, land use ordinance enforcement “can be time consuming.”Durrant may face jail time if convicted, but Utah County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Sgt. Spencer Cannon said it’s unlikely for such minor offenses.
Neighbors said they saw people dump sewage from their RVs onto the ground, or saw people urinating on the fence line separating Durrant’s lot from adjacent properties, which are valued at between $740,000 and more than $1 million, Motor homes parked at the Lehi Farmers Market property in Utah County on Saturday, May 13, 2023.
Armstrong said when neighbors issue complaints with the county, “we let them know that we are aware of some of the seriousness of the allegations, and that’s why we’re taking an expedited approach.”
