BUSINESS
LICENSE DISCUSSION/APPROVAL
Harbor
View Restaurant, Mike Sheehan
Mr.
Sheehan explained that he would like to open a restaurant in the lower level of
the Harbor Village Resort building.
They want to cater to the people in town and in the condos. They want to have Southern fried chicken for
the basis for their catering. They will
serve steak and seafood in the restaurant.
They do have the sales tax number and he will make sure it is registered
to the Town of Garden City. Mr.
Erickson said that they don’t need to make any changes to the building, it will
be the same as when it was Aaromas.
Council
Member Leonhardt made the motion to accept the business license for Harbor View
Restaurant with the stipulation that they will get a letter from Mr. Frank
Smith stating that it is okay for them to do business in the building. Mr. Smith is the owner. Council Member Satterthwaite seconded the
motion. All in favor and the motion
carried. They will also need to get the
health department certificate.
Patrick
Rogers Contracting LLC, Patrick Rogers
Mr.
Rogers explained that he would like to construction in Garden City. He is working for himself right now doing
freelance carpentry work. He lives on
Sweetwater Parkway and that is where the business will be located. He does have a contractors number which is
listed on the application, it’s a B100.
Mr. Erickson said that we don’t require anything else from him.
Council
Member Satterthwaite moved to approve the business license for Patrick Rogers
Contracting to conduct contracting.
Council Member Leonhardt seconded the motion. All in favor and the motion carried.
Holey
Cow LLC, Krista Klien
Ms.
Klien is not in attendance at this meeting.
Mayor Hansen asked for consideration to re-address this agenda item at
another time during this meeting if Ms. Klien shows up. The Council agreed.
Doug
Backhoe Service, Doug Taylor
Mr.
Taylor is not in attendance at this meeting.
Mayor Hansen asked for consideration to re-address this agenda item at
another time during this meeting if Mr. Taylor shows up. The Council agreed.
Stone
Ridge Wellness, Chad Duncan
Mr.
Duncan explained that this business will be downstairs across the hall from the
restaurant at Harbor Village. It will
be a complete overall wellness business.
He explained that he already received approval for the business under
his name, he would just like to expand the business under a different
name. Mr. Erickson explained that Mr.
Scott Gough is working on some issues that they need to do fix, such as the
laundry storage and the exit’s. They
will clean up the area and remodel the room.
He will be okay then as far as the building is. They can come in the ground level for
ADA.
The
business will require a state license and we have the number on the
application. Mr. Duncan hasn’t checked
into the sales tax issue yet but he will check on it and make sure that it is
registered to the Town of Garden City.
Council
Member Satterthwaite move to approve the business license for Stone Ridge
Wellness with the information on the sales tax number. Council Member Leonhardt seconded the
motion. All in favor and the motion
carried.
Request
for a Farmers Market, Paul Lamborn
Mr.
Lamborn is not here at this meeting, he will be back next month.
APPLICATION
FOR RETAIL BEER LICENSE DISCUSSION/APPROVAL
Harbor
View Restaurant, Mike Sheehan
Mr.
Sheehan is requesting approval for an on-premiss beer license. Mayor Hansen asked if they will need to
separate age groups in the restaurant?
Mr. Sheehan said they won’t have to do separate areas because they are
just serving beer, not hard alcohol.
This is a type of license that must be approved and regulated by the
state. Council Member Satterthwaite said that our ordinance indicates that the
person who is applying for the license must be the owner operator. Mayor Hansen said that Mr. Sheehan will be
the owner of the business. Mr. Sheehan
explained that he has been a resident of Utah for over a year.
Council
Member Satterthwaite made the motion to approve the retail beer license for an
on- premiss beer license for Harbor View Restaurant, Mike Sheehan. Council Member Leonhardt seconded the
motion. All in favor and the motion
carried.
SWAN
SPRING CULINARY WATER PROJECT TREATMENT PLANT UPDATE, Jason Linford
Mr.
Linford explained the issues that have been going on with Wildlife Resourses
and the property needed for the treatment plant. They want a land swap for the property that we need. The treatment plant, tank ect will take
about 1 acre but we should have 2-3 acres in case we need to expand. They think it will take about 3 months to
get through the approval process. That much of a delay may affect the
funding.
We
received 2 comments on the Environmental Assessment done by the RDA. One was from the Wildlife Resources and we
have been trying to work with their issues.
The next step will be to complete a FONSI (Finding of no significant
impact) and that takes 30 days. We
can’t do the FONSI until the issues are resolved with Wildlife Resourses. The RDA needs to obligate their funds by the
end of June. If they are not able to
obligate the funds by June then the Fed’s will
take the funding back to use for another project. Then we will have to wait until there are
re-allocated funds within the State of Utah and that may not happen until
October, 2006. We have $700,000 in
grant money contingent on this going through.
The property is controlled by the Fed’s and managed by the Wildlife
Resources.
The
Division of Drinking Water issued the mandate that we need to be constructing
this summer. They know the issues that
are going on right now. Mr. Linford
spoke with the Division of Wildlife Resources and they want a letter from us
explaining the issues going on right now and they may be willing to work with
us on the deadline. He also talked to
them about the funding issues. They
don’t want to fund the entire project but with the current problems they are
open to the idea of taking another look at the funding in case this does fall
through with RDA. They may be willing
to fund the entire project. They do not
give grant money. They do some no
interest or very low interest loans. It
could be a benefit for us because it will shorten the length of the loan. It may raise the monthly fee a dollar or two
per month but for a shorter loan length.
Mayor
Hansen explained that there may be a possibility of moving the plant to another
spot in the same area. He has talked to
a couple property owners in that area and it may be an option for a land swap
for improvements to the road or water connections. We will continue to look at the best option for the Town. He will continue to work with them. He is planning on meeting with them next
Saturday to discuss the options. Mayor
Hansen requested approval from the Council to have the property surveyed to
make sure it will work. The Council
agreed with the survey.
Mayor
Hansen said that if we have to go to the next funding cycle with RDA there is
no guarantee that we will get the money or the grant again. RDA said that they will commit the funds if
we have an agreement with the property owner.
Mr.
Linford said that the plant design is going forward and are approximately 75%
complete. He is just waiting for the
final decision on the placement of the plant.
The placement of the plant won’t make a big difference in the
design. The tank sites will work at
either location.
UTAH
HIGHWAY PATROL REQUEST, Mike
Loveland.
Officer
Loveland explained that the UHP patrol for Rich County was changed and now is
under the jurisdiction of the Summit Wasatch region. He said that they began working in Rich County last summer and
quickly found out that the local law enforcement does not have the enforcement
needed for the summer weekends. He said
that UHP have committed to give Rich County more help. He said that the problem they have is that
the majority of his troopers live in Heber and it is a 2-3 hour drive to get
here. He proposed that they target 4 of
the busiest weekends during the summer and keep the officers here all
weekend. He said that they need a place
to stay for the troopers for those 4 weekends.
That would be a 2 night stay each weekend except for Raspberry Days,
which is 3 nights. He said he feels it
will be a win\win situation. He said
that there is a potential for something bad to happen here and the law
enforcement needs more help. He said
that the hotel room is a small price to pay for the protection.
Mayor
Hansen said that his concern is that we rarely see any UHP in Garden City. Council Member Leonhardt asked why it went
clear to Summit which is 2 ½ hours away and Cache is only 45 minutes? Officer Loveland said that moving Rich
County under their jurisdiction
is a
done deal and it is out of his hands.
He is working on getting the officers in this area more often.
Council
Member Leonhardt asked if they have talked to the County Commissioners to help
with some funding. He explained that we
don’t get any of the revenue from the law enforcement, it all goes to the state
and the county. Council Member
Leonhardt suggested that we bring in a trailer for them. It will be tough to get some rooms now
because they are all rented out for the busy weekends. Mayor Hansen said that there are a lot of
the campgrounds that may be willing to accommodate them at no charge just
because they are there.
Mayor
Hansen said that we need to do what we can to help. We also need to encourage the County Commissioners to help. Council Member Satterthwaite said that it is
a step in the right direction. Council
Member Gray said that the per dium is reasonable and he has no problem
supporting their request, it is a legitimate thing. Just the fact that they are here to ask and they are willing to
help says a lot.
Sheriff
Stacey said that the change was to help us where we seriously need the
help. Sgt. Loveland has been a great
help. They will work to get assistance
from the County Commissioners also.
Mayor
Hansen said that we should do what we can.
Mr. Erickson suggested that we put a couple of the Troopers at
Gators. Mayor Hansen said that we will
see what we can come up with. Everyone
will work on additional funding assistance from wherever they can get it.
ANNEXATION
REQUEST DISCUSSION APPROVAL,
Mark Stringham, Dan Stringham, David Wilkes
Mayor
Hansen explained that this property is not adjacent to the Town at this
time. The State Parks, Sunrise and Owen
Wahlstroms is between this property and the Town limits. He explained that we would have to annex all
the parcels in between to be contiguous.
The property owners want to do a subdivision of the property and before
they can go to the Rich County Planning & Zoning Commission they need a
letter from the Garden City stating that we don’t have intentions of annexing
this property.
Mr.
Mark Stringham explained that he wants to do a subdivision and split it into
three lots. They also want 3 water connections to the Town
water system.
Council
Member Gray said that the State issued a letter of support indicating that the
have no problem annexing into the Town.
Mayor Hansen asked if we could get an agreement from the property owners
between the State Parks property and the Stringham property. If we could get them to agree we could annex
the whole area. Mr. Stringham said that
he would be willing to annex but he would like to get started on his project
soon. He said that the lots would be
subdivided so that if they were annexed into the Town later they would meet the
Town requirements. The Council agreed
to contact the property owners and start the process of the annexation of the
properties on the west side of the highway and to include the marina.
Council
Member Gray made the motion to proceed to move toward annexing 5 parcels,
including the property that is owned by Mr. Mark Stringham rather than annex
the single piece of property. Council
Member Satterthwaite seconded the motion.
All in favor and the motion carried.
Mr. Stringham asked if they would be able to proceed with the
subdivision. Mayor Hansen explained
that we shouldn’t hold up Mr. Stringhams project if the other property owners
are not condusive to the annexation.
Mr. Stringham requested a letter from Mayor Hansen stating that we are
not interested in annexing in the immediate time future and that he is okay to
move forward in the subdivision process.
Mayor Hansen requested approval from the Council to write a letter if we
don’t get a favorable responce from the other property owners on the
annexation.
Mayor
Hansen stated that Mr. Stringham has
water rights to trade for the water connections. He explained that we are relunctant to allow water connections
outside the Town limits without them annexing because they are receiving Town
services without paying the Town property taxes.
If we
can’t get the okay from the other property owners then the Council agreed that
Mayor Hansen could write the letter to the County Commissioners. Council Member Leonhardt wants to give the
people a fair amount of time to make a good decision on whether they want their
property annexed.
DOUG
TAYLOR BACKHOE SERVICE, Doug
Taylor
Mr.
Taylor said that he just wants to do construction work in the Garden City. He will not have a yard or a storage site
here. The license number on the
application is a Utah State Contractors License number, it’s an E100 and
B100.
Council
Member Satterthwaite moved to approve the request for a business license for
Doug Taylor Backhoe Service. Council
Member Leonhardt seconded the motion.
All in favor and the motion carried.
PLANNED
UNIT DEVELOPMENT PLAT DISCUSSION/APPROVAL, Lockwood Development, Jay Chistopherson, Bryon Lyon,
Dennis Bullock
Mr.
Lyon explained that they met with UDOT and they revised the Traffic Impact
Study. They are just waiting to hear
from them on the new TIS. They are
planning on doing a left turn lane into their project. Mr. Linford said that he hasn’t seen the
storm drainage plan. Mr. Lyon will get
that to him. The bike path cross
section has been added to the plans.
They are not intending to put in the OHV trail but they will dedicate
the land to the Town to develop it. They have the dumpster locations on the
plat.
Mr.
Lyon expained that they meet with the Planning & Zoning Commision and they
had some stipulations. One stipulation
is that there is no parking on the street.
They also need restrictions on the RV parking. They required open space outlined on the plat. They want maintenance on the detention
pond. They are doing individual popane
tanks, Mayor Hansen suggested that they bury the propane tanks in the facility
and then run lines to the homes with a meter.
They will read the meters and bill the homes individually. That is just a suggestion.
They
are asking for conditional approval based on UDOT approval. Mayor Hansen read through the conditions
from Planning & Zoning Commission which indicate that they also need a
letter of credit. Mr. Bullock said that
the bank will work that out as soon as it is approved. Mr. Lyon showed the plan for the open space. They are also planning on improving a trail
along the edge of the project for open space.
Maintenance of the retention pond will be the HOA responsibility. They agreed with the remainder of the
conditions set by the Planning& Zoning Commission. Mayor Hansen said that we also need a
contract spelling out who will maintain the roads and the water system in the
subdivision. The contract should
indemnify the Town. We also need to do
the water share transfer, they need to be in the Towns name before he will sign
the plat.
Council
Member Leonhardt said that he requested two more fire hydrants, which need to
be shown on the map. Other than that he
was at the Planning & Zoning meeting and agreed with their
stipulations.
They do
have an easement approval from Frank Smith.
Council Member Satterthwaite asked if their access onto the highway will
affect 300 west. Ms. Sharlotte Wride
said that she went to the meeting with UDOT and they said that if there is an
intersection then it has to be a continuous left hand turn lane. Mr. Lyon said that they did get the variance
from UDOT. When the Town puts in an intersection then they will need
to have a left hand turn lane.
The
final overall plat was presented to the Council but there is nothing in any of
the minutes that it was ever approved.
The
Council discussed the possibility of continuing the roads to the edge of the
project for future development, for the adjacent property owners. Mr. Bullock said that they are willing to
negotiate and work with the adjacent property owner on access to their property
if they are willing to work with them.
There is not really a viable access for that property
Mayor
Hansen asked if it is appropriate to go forward on the plan if the Planning
& Zoning Commission has not given approval on the master plan. Mayor Hansen suggest that we make a motion
to approve Phase I of the Lockwood Development and send the overall master plan
back to the Planning & Zoning Commission for approval.
Council
Member Gray made the motion to approve Phase I of the Lockwood Development
following the Planning & Zoning Commission provisions and the provisions regarding the maintenance of the
roads, the water lines, the water shares being in the Towns name, the storm
drainage being taken care of and the additional fire hydrants. Council Member Leonhardt seconded the
motion. Council Member Satterthwaite
asked if 300 west is a done deal and will it be completed before this
project? Mayor Hansen said that he has
talked to Frehner Construction and 300 west is one of their next projects to complete. The property issues have been resolved. Council Member Satterthwaite said that she
is concerned with the length of the conditions, just the number of things that
need to be completed appear to be significant.
She is also concerned that we are not considering the access for the
adjacent property owners. Council
Member Leonhardt said that we are not approving the part next to the adjacent
property owner at this time. That is a
future phase and we can address the access at that time. A roll call vote was taken: Council Member
Leonhardt, for; Council Member Gray, for; Council Member Satterthwaite,
opposed. Motion carried.
BUTTERCUP
WATER COMMITTEE, Sharlotte
Wride, Steve Bilabo, James Schnetzer
Ms.
Wride is the president of the POA. She
explained that they came to the Council in October of 2005 and the Council agreed that we would have the water issue
addressed. At that time Mayor
Hansen told Mr. Linford to get started
on a proposal. At that time a plan was
approved and a cost was agreed. It was
to put in new pumps, and run the system within the Buttercup subdivision. Mr. Linford explained that during the last
Council meeting it was disucced what they can do without doing the full blown
project. He said that he has a plan to
raise the pressure up to about the 45 PSI.
It would take them to what the state requires. The problem is with the fire flow pumps. They can get the pumps for around $5,000. But the cost for the fire flow pumps, for a
variable speed drive which would provide 1000 gallons a minute, would cost
around $20,000. Buttercup is serviced
by a 6" water line which we couldn’t get 1000 gallons through on a
consistant basis. The entire upper
subdivision is a 6"line, the line that feeds the pump house is an 8"
line. Mr. Linford said that we can fit
the 50 - 200 gallon per minute pump in the existing well house. The 40-45 psi would be constant, it is a
variable speed pump. This would include
2/120 gallon pressure tanks. The fire
pumps would require an addition onto the well house. The existing tank would not be used.
Mr.
Linford said that they could put in a backup generator or a static line and
during a power outage they would be back to the current 20 PSI. Council Member Leonhardt said that the fire
flow is an issue that he would need to check into.
Mayor
Hansen said that a better solution is one that will come on line relatively
soon with a new subdivision and a new water tank. It will provide Buttercup with better water flow, etc. Mr. Bilabo said that they are concerned with
what they will do in the interim. Mayor
Hansen said that we are doing the best that we can as we go along. Mayor Hansen said that he has asked Mr.
Linford to come up with a solution that will be good for everyone and he is
also asking the property owners to be patient with what we can do. Ms. Wride said that we need to stay within
the law. Mayor Hansen said that he is
considering another solution that will be coming on down the road that will
take care of this entire situation. Mr.
Bilabo said that the fire flow situation would be a liability that the Town
would not like to take on. Council
Member Leonhardt will test the fire hydrant at the top of the subdivision. Ms. Wride said that there are no guarantees
of when the other projects are going to happen. Their problem is now and they would like to see a solution.
Mr.
Linford said that by increasing the pressure to the homes, with the smaller
pumps, the tank needs to come off lime.
By increasing the pressure they would just be pumping water one
direction through the 6" line instead of both directions from the pumps
and also the tanks. To increase the
pressure to the homes may decrease the water that can go to the system because
it is not coming in both directions.
Bringing the tank on line was to increase the pressure for the fire
flow.
Mr.
Linford said that his suggested solution is to purchase the pump for $5,000 for
the pressure for everyday use. It would
take approximately $20,000 to put the pump on line for the 1,000 gallon per
minute for fire flow. It would involve
a smaller pump and a larger pump that is in reserve for fire flow. Also, it would require an addition to the
building and a generator. The pressure
to the pump house is about 80 PSI. The
lower homes may need a pressure reducer.
Ms. Wride said that the POA would be willing to purchase and put on the pressure reducers.
These
proposals are without 3 phase power, the variable speed drive acts as a
converter. Mayor Hansen said that there
is 200 amp there.
The
generator that was installed at the south shore was around $60,000, but we can
look for a generator that could cost
less.
Ms.
Wride said that she knows that the treatment plant is priority but this has nothing
to do with the treatment plant. This is
independent of the treatment plant.
Mayor Hansen said that there may be some cost overrides that may come up
that we are not aware of with the treatment plant.
Ms.
Wride said that as they get more homes in Buttercup and get more population it
will just get worse. She said that
they are requesting a pump to take care of the extra PSI and the pump for the
1000 gallon per minute for the fire flow and then look into getting a
generator. Mr. Bilabo said that he
disagrees, he suggested that we need to get the generator or it will be a huge
liability issue. Council Member
Leonhardt said that he will test the fire hydrant.
Council
Member Gray said that we shouldn’t put it off for another 6 months. We need to plan for the future. In this case it would be prudent to fix the
issue now. His suggestion is to fix it
now. Mr. Linford said that cost will be
approximately $50,000 (all the pumps and the addition to the building, and that
depends on if it is bid out or we have the Operator do it). The property where the pump house is located
is common area. The building can be
made what ever we want.
Mayor
Hansen said that the motion was made in October to fix the problem. Council Member Gray said that we need a time
frame. Mr. Linford said that they can
have the design complete in 30 days. Mayor Hansen said that we will just give
the project to Mr. Andersen to finish.
BUTTERCUP
SID, Sharlotte Wride and Steve
Bilboa
Ms.
Wride said that they opened the bid for the project in February. They turned that over to the assessment
group for the assesments on the lots.
They also had to get an agreement from the contractor that if the project
failed they would be responsible to pay it.
They are very busy working on the roads. They just received approval from the attorney and all the papers
have been finished. The investor is
finishing their documents. They need to
have another resolution approved. It is
the final resolution, which has to be
approved by the Council before they can go on with the next step. They need to have a meeting to pass the
resolution then they have to notice for 20 days and then there is another 30
comment period. She said that we need
to get the project to the contractor so he can get it scheduled for this
summer. She is asking for the Council
to consider having a special meeting to approve the Resolution and schedule the
3 special meetings. Mr. Linford suggested
that they work in some contingency into the assessments just in case the project
goes over the bid. Mayor Hansen said
that it is fine to have a special meeting on Wednesday.
BALSAMORIZA
DEVELOPERS CONTRACT, Norm
Mecham
Mr.
Mecham passed out an old agreement on the Balsamoriza Development, which was
done prior to this Council. He said
that there was nothing stated in the agreement as who installs the pump
station. Mayor Hansen said that it has
been the requirement that the developer install the pump station. Mr. Mecham said that he is fine with
that. There is also a question on the
water transfers and who will take care of the transfers. Mr. Mecham agreed that we should get that
done and then apply for the extension as soon as possible. We need to make sure that this happens. We can stipulate the place where we transfer
the shares to for 5 years. That way we
can get the treatment plant in and then designate the rights to the treatment
plant. Mr. Mecham explained the CFS
with each water right and what it would service.
Council
Member Satterthwaite said that we have a problem with the Westlake subdivision
and their transfers. We need to work on
that also. She said that they had some
rights that should have been transferred.
On the state records the filing numbers still show under Mr. Madsen’s
name or his father-in-law, so we need to check on that also.
We need
to get the rights transferred and then work on the extension. The Council agreed to work the transfers
through Mr. Mecham’s attorney. Mr.
Mecham said that he will take care of the transfer and make sure that it will
happen.
Council
Member Gray made the motion to allow Mr. Mecham to move forward on the water
rights transfer and once the transfer has taken place then we apply for the
extension. Council Member Leonhardt
seconded the motion. All in favor and
the motion carried. Mayor Hansen said
that he is interested to see if the 3 cf has any additional value. Council Member Gray added to the motion that
Mr. Mecham’s attorney also look into the 3 cf. Council Member Leonhardt
seconded the motion. All in favor and
the motion carried.
Mr.
Mecham said that if there happens to be a conflict of interest he will come
back to the Council. Also, he is not
opposed to helping with the costs as long as it is not a significant amount.
Mr.
Mecham said that with the agreement there is no statement as to how many lots
he can develop in exchange for the water he is transferring to the Town. Would the 1 cfs be adequate for the 700
families? Mr. Mecham said that if he
pushed the property to the maximum density he wouldn’t need more than the 700
connections. He said that the zoning
allows more than the 700. He would like
consideration to use the water elsewhere if it is more than would be require
for the 700 connections. Mr. Linford
suggested that he have his engineer make a suggestion on what he will need for
his development and the Council can review that proposal. That would give him incentive to do a less
dense project.
ORDINANCE
DISCUSSION/APPROVAL
Ordinance
#06-01, An Ordinance to include a definition for Daycare/Preschool
Council
Member Satterthwaite said that this was the definition that came from the
Planning & Zoning Commission. She
explained the changes that she suggested.
She said that she went through the Utah State Code and she also called
the Utah State Division of Licensing and they said that if you set out a rule
for less than 5 children then the state would not be involved in the
licensing. Mayor Hansen said that’s why
we did it the way we did it so we could handle the young girls that
babysit.
Council
Member Satterthwaite said that the changes that she is suggesting are fairly
significant and maybe should go back to the Planning & Zoning
Commission. The Council agreed. She will outline the changes that were made
so it is easier to review.
Ordinance
#06-12, An Ordinance to include a definition for Daycare/Preschool (Alternative
definitions proposed from Ordinance #06-01
This is
the ordinance written with the changes that Council Member Satterthwaite
suggested. This ordinance will go to
the Planning & Zoning Commission for their review.
Ordinance
#06-13, An Ordinance which extends the time impact fees can be collected for
improvements to the culinary water system, road system and park and recreation
areas for the Town of Garden City
Council
Member Satterthwaite moved to approve Ordinance #06-13. Council Member Leonhardt seconded the
motion. All in favor and the motion
carried.
Ordinance
#06-14, Title 8, Chapter 114, An Ordinance to make changes to the Business
License application process.
Council
Member Gray explained the changes that he is suggesting to the ordinance. Mr. Erickson said that every business should
have a Certificate of Occupancy from the Building Department and the Fire
Department before they move in. Council
Member Gray will have a final draft for the next meeting.
Conditional
Use Permit Ordinance Discussion
We need
to make changes to the ordinance and present them next month. Changes that need to be made are the
approval by the Town Council and more description on running with the land.
Council
Member Satterthwaite asked about the land use authority. Mayor Hansen explained that the Town Council
is the Land Use Authority because we haven’t designated another board. He said that the Board of Adjustments are
the appeal authority. Council Member
Satterthwaite asked what authority the Planning & Zoning Commission
has. Mayor Hansen said that they are an
advisory board to the Town Council. He
said that he doesn’t want to loose the right for the Town Council to be the
last say. Council Member Satterthwaite
said that is why we should give the Land Use authority to the Planning &
Zoning Commission. The Council agreed
to discuss this during the Planning meeting.
Beer
license Ordinance
The
County Attorney looked over our beer license and suggested that we review
it. He indicated that the beer licenses
are regulated by the state and so we don’t need very many regulations. Council Member Satterthwaite will look over
the ordinance and present something next month.
MISCELLANEOUS
ITEMS
Stay-N-Place
Storage/Bear Lake Storage, requirement made during the February Town Council
meeting that the owner of Bear Lake Storage provide a letter of credit by the
March Town Council meeting.
Mayor
Hansen asked to move item g of miscellaneous items on the agenda. The council agreed.
Mayor
Hansen explained that we are here to talk about the remaining issues that need
to be complete on the Stay-n-Place Storage Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Lantz said that he has been working with
Mr. Erickson on some of the issues. He
said that the cul-de-sac needs to be widened and he will take care of
that. He will also work on the water
line. We are requiring a full completed
drainage plan.
Mr.
McPhie said that when he purchased the project the agreement was that Mr. Lantz
would take care of what the Town required.
Mr. McPhie is in the bid process for the second phase of the project. He said that the cul-de-sac is an issue that
needs to be resolved soon. The
landscaping plan and the berms are coming as the phases come. He will get a landscaping plan. Mr. Lantz said that the berms are in place
they are just over grown with weeds.
Mayor
Hansen went over the list of what was required.
#3. They want to do the trees on the south side
after the next building is built. They
will have to move the fence to do the next phase. The south line of the fence is just put in temporarily so it can
be moved. Mr. Erickson suggested a time
frame or deadlines to get the berms and landscaping done. Council Member Gray suggests that the berms
need to be weed free and kept nice and landscaping needs to be completed next
spring.
#6. Hyrum will have the fence people come and
make an 80' cul-de-sac. The deadline
will be June 1, 2006.
#8. The deadline for the water connection to be
completed and paid for is June 1st, 2006.
#9. The deadline for the complete drainage plan
is June 1st, 2006.
#12. The fence that goes around the entire
property will be moved to the proper place when the next phase is placed.
Mr.
McPhie asked for a waiver of the letter of credit. If they don’t get the project done on time then we will bring
them in again. They are not required to
provide a letter of credit at this time.
Mr.
Lantz said that he will complete the fence, a water line, water connection and
the drainage plan. He is only required
or involved in phase I. Mr. McPhie will
be responsible for the rest of the project.
