BUSINESS LICENSE
DISCUSSION/APPROVAL
EZ 2 Plez, Jeff Forsberg
Mr. Forsberg explained that he
has purchased Bear Lake Interiors and has combined it with EZ 2 Plez. They are
in the process of getting started so they need a business license for the
retail sales and the cabinets. In Utah he needs a specialty license to install
hardwood flooring and laminate. They will install everything that they sell. They
do pay a use tax on the materials and he will check to see if they need a sales
tax number.
Council Member Gray made the
motion to accept the business license for EZ 2 Plez upon finding out the
question regarding collecting taxes in Utah and addressing that as need be. Council
Member Leonhardt seconded the motion. Council Member Satterthwaite asked if he
would need a contractor’s license before he receives the business license. Mr.
Forsber said that he is looking to see what type of license that he needs. Council
Member Seiler suggested that we stipulate that this approval is for carpet
installation only and when he gets the license for the other items he comes
back for approval of that. No vote taken and motion died.
Council Member Gray made the
motion to accept the business license for EZ 2 Plez with the stipulation that
it is carpet installation only and he needs to get the tax information
resolved. Council Member Leonhardt seconded the motion. All in favor and the
motion carried.
Bear Lake Country Store, Tina
Wolford
Ms. Wolford explained that she
would like to re-open the Pickleville store. She is leasing the store from Mr.
Stone. She would like to do shakes, etc, but they will make the shakes inside
the store. She said that she is going to have comparative prices with everyone
else in the valley.
Council Member Satterthwaite
asked if she would need to have a food handler’s permit and a health
certificate for the shake shop. Mr. Stone said that he has been working with
the Health Department for those items. They will bring the shake shop inside
the store. They have the sales tax number.
Council Member Gray made the
motion to accept the business license for the Bear Lake Country Store following
getting the food handler’s permit information, the health certificate and also
the sales tax number. The motion was changed to not require the food handler’s
because they are not going to open the shake shop at this time; that will come
at a future time. Council Member Seiler seconded the motion. All in favor and
the motion carried.
BEER LICENSE/PERMIT DISCUSSION
AND APPROVAL
Bear Lake Country Store, Tina
Wolford
This request is to sell beer at the Bear Lake Country
Store. This will be closed containers for off-premise consumption. They are not
selling the hard alcohol at the store.
Council Member Gray made the
motion to accept the application for the retail beer license for the Bear Lake
Country Store. Council Member Leonhardt seconded the motion. Council Member
Seiler said that according to our ordinance we need to have a felony report. She
suggested that we add to the motion that it is approved based on the proof from
the BCI Check. Council Member Leonhardt seconded the motion with the addition
of the BCI. All in favor and the motion carried.
BUSINESS LICENSE
DISCUSSION/APPROVAL
Northern Title Company, Paul
Davis
Mr. Davis explained that they
want to go in where the Subway store was. They are required to have a state
license, which he does have and will get a copy to us. Parking should not be an
issue. Mayor Hansen said that there are a couple of unfinished issues that
where stipulated with the conditional use permit, the sidewalk needs to be
fixed and the pavement needs to go all the way to the highway, an approach.
The sign does not meet the
requirements for a monument sign. It is probably okay as far as the square
footage. Mayor Hansen explained the monument sign requirements and they are
okay to use the sign as it is now but it will count against the square footage
for the sign ordinance. Mr. Davis asked if it is okay to rent out some office
space. The other businesses that rent the space will need to come in for a
business license and also have written permission from them to use that space.
Council Member Seiler moved to
accept the business license for Northern Title at 115 S. Bear Lake Blvd. Mr.
Davis needs to meet the pre-existing conditions of the conditional use permit
that was on the property and Mr. Davis needs to present the state license
number. Council Member Satterthwaite seconded the motion. All in favor and the
motion carried.
Bodean’s, Jim McLaughlin
Mr. McLaughlin does have has his
sales tax number. He will be getting the food handler’s permit before he opens
the business.
Council Member Gray made the
motion to accept the business license for Bodean’s following him obtaining the
food handler’s permit and the sales tax number. Council Member Leonhardt
seconded the motion. All in favor and the motion carried.
Unleashed Performance, Brad
Weston
Mr. Weston explained that he
wants to operate a repair shop for boats, etc. Mayor Hansen said that Mr.
Weston is an employee of his and he will lease part of the building from Bear
Lake Sails, the repair shop, the retail sales and part of the office. He will
do repair of boats, etc., and sale of new watercraft. Mr. Weston gave the
Council the letter from the owner of the building stating that it is okay for
him to do business there. He is not required to have a special state license.
Council Member Gray made the
motion to accept the business license for Unleashed Performance. Council Member
Satterthwaite seconded the motion. All in favor and the motion carried.
Holey Cow, Krista Klein
Ms. Klein explained that she is
applying for a business license. She does have the food handler’s permit. Ms.
Klein said that she is changing the parking and she showed the drawing to the
Council. The parking will be on her property and will just be gravel. Council
Member Satterthwaite asked about ADA. Ms. Klein explained that she does have a
ramp that goes to the back porch. She has resolved the issue with the fence and
the neighbors. The neighbor wrote a letter and it was given to the Planning
& Zoning Commission. Ms. Klein said that she will work it out with the
neighbor on parking next to their property. She said that she is planning on
doing some signage. She has the UDOT issue resolved and we should have it on
file. She is just going to do one sign up front that will fit with the
ordinance.
Council Member Leonhardt made
the motion to accept the business license for Holey Cow. Council Member
Satterthwaite seconded the motion. All in favor and the motion carried.
Farmers Market, Paul Lamborn
Mr. Lamborn said that he would
like to see about the possibility of having a farmers market in Garden City. They
want to set up temporary structures, which will not be a permanent addition to
the town. Ms. Jeannie Willis is willing to commit her spot in Raspberry Square
for a farmers market. It can be anything from people coming to the market and
selling their produce to passing out brochures with locations of producers that
sell produce from their farm. Mr. Lamborn proposal is to be able to bring some
things from California, local growers and also the local raspberry growers. They
would like to operate 1-3 days a week depending on the need. They are hoping
that it will be a benefit to the community and also draw in some foot traffic
to the other businesses in the area. They will need to provide some portable
toilets.
Council Member Satterthwaite
asked if there is a provision in the ordinance that would allow this type of
business, short of a transient business. Mr. Lamborn said that there would be
no buildings, it would be canopies and tables or just out of the back of a
pickup. They would produce some temporary signs.
Council Member Satterthwaite
said that area is a busy intersection and parking is an issue. Mr. Lamborn said
that parking would have to be absorbed by town property. He said that other
towns help monetarily with these types of businesses. He would like Garden City
to look at helping.
Council Member Seiler said that
she likes the idea but her concern is that it is in the main intersection in
town and parking would be a problem, in that area.
The Council looked over the
transient business license ordinance. The Council said that they would support
the idea but not sure that it is the right place. Council Member Satterthwaite
said that they use that area for parking for the two businesses already. Mr.
Lamborn said that they would probably put it in the back of that property. Mayor
Hansen said that there is already a master plan for that property and they had
plenty of parking. He said that he is not too concerned about the parking but
he is concerned about the tents and setting up for 3 months. Mayor Hansen said
that he feels that the farmers market is a good idea but we should have
something that sets them apart from the other transient venders that want to
come in to do business. Mr. Lamborn said that as far as the appearance of a
farmers market, they will be there early in the morning and then there won’t be
any evidence of them being there by early afternoon. The tents will not be set
up permanently.
Council Member Satterthwaite
explained that we are governed by what our ordinance requires for transient
vendors. Council Member Leonhardt read through our transient vendor ordinance
and said this is where this request would fit. Council Member Leonhardt said
that it is a good thing, he is not concerned with the parking but it would need
to fit with what is on the ordinance.
Mr. Lamborn said that before
they go forward they need to know if the town would be behind the project. The allure
of a farmers market is that you are buying from the producer. Council Member
Leonhardt said as long as they go under the transient vendor ordinance then it
would be okay with the Council.
Utah Carzz
There is no one here for this
request.
Business Discussion for
Commercial Property on 300 West and Logan Road, Dennis Simpson & Bob
Anderson
Mr. Anderson explained that they
would like to invest some more resources into the town and they have some
conceptual ideas. They would like to propose a grocery store for that property.
They do have 2 or 3 investors who are very interested. They have also been
approached for a hardware store, insurance office, retail sales and a banking
facility, which could be in conjunction with a grocery store.
They feel that piece of property
is in the gateway to the town. They want to make it a focal point for people
coming in. He also asked if there are other businesses that are needed in the
town. They would like to contribute to the community.
Mayor Hansen said that is a
great parcel in the town and all of the things that they have mentioned would
be a great addition. He suggested that Mr. Anderson contact the health center
to see what they are already providing. A bank would be extremely welcomed.
Council Member Leonhardt said
that it is good that they want to come in and invest. We need more services to
accommodate the people that are coming in to town.
Mayor Hansen explained the
architectural standard and the timber and rock. Mr. Jason Linford explained 3rd west and that it is a 100' right of way. Mayor
Hansen said that we are trying to create a north south corridor for ATV’s. Council
Member Seiler said that it would be nice to bring in a business that could be
year round and accommodate our local workers. Mr. Anderson said that they are
looking in that direction.
Snuggle Bunny Daycare, James
Criswell
Mr. Criswell explained that they
can’t get the state license without the town business license and the business
license was stipulated that they need the state license first, so they are
caught in between. Mr. Criswell said that they have the FBI background checks
and the food handler’s permit. It will be at 199 N. 300 W. They do have the
conditional use permit. The fence is already installed. Council Member
Leonhardt said that he has been there to inspect it and the State licensing
agency has been there to inspect it. They have done a lot of work to get it
ready.
They are requesting that we
issue the business license so they can get the state license.
Council Member Gray made the
motion to approve the business license and issue the business license for
Snuggle Bunny Daycare/preschool. We will need to get a copy of the state
license when they get it. Council Member Seiler seconded the motion. All in
favor and the motion carried.
SWAN SPRING CULINARY WATER
PROJECT/TREATMENT PLANT PROJECT,
Jason Linford
Mr. Linford explained that Utah
Wildlife Resources has the property locked up from the federal side and it is a
very lengthy process to obtain the property from them so we need to look at
other options. There is a piece of property by the spring that is privately
owned that we think will work. Rural Development is okay with that piece of
property and will hold the money based on us getting that piece of property. RDA
went over the procedure again and we won’t have to do a second Environmental
Assessment so they will secure the funds.
BUTTERCUP WATER PROJECT, Jason
Linford
Mr. Linford said that they are
working on the drawings for the Buttercup water project and the design is
almost done. They will have to do an addition to the existing building.
BUTTERCUP SID PROJECT, Jason
Linford
The Buttercup SID is going
forward and the construction should start in a couple of weeks. Mr. Linford
asked how we want to handle the inspection. The Council decided that Mr.
Andersen will inspect the project as it goes along. Mr. Linford will do periodic
inspections and also inspect the paving. Mayor Hansen said that we are looking
at about 1-2 inspections and then the asphalt. When the roads are finished they
will be town roads and so we want them to be up to our standards. The Council
agreed that we should have Mr. Andersen do the initial inspections. They will
have a pre-construction meeting to let him know what we expect.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
Mayor Hansen asked if we could
go into executive session.
Council Member Gray made the
motion to go into executive session at 8:30 p.m. Council Member Seiler seconded
the motion. All in favor and the motion carried.
Council Member Leonhardt made
the motion to go out of executive service at 9:20 p.m. Council Member Gray
seconded the motion. All in favor and the motion carried.
Council Member Leonhardt made
the motion to accept the real estate purchase contract for the property owned
by Mr. Jim Petersen that will be used for the treatment plant. Council Member
Gray seconded the motion. Council Member Satterthwaite said that we need a
public hearing for this issue, to accept the purchase contract. The motion died
because we may need a special meeting. We can make the motion during the
meeting next week.
HONOR LANA HODGES FOR HER
SERVICE TO THE TOWN
Mayor Hansen presented Lana
Hodges with a plaque in honor of her dedicated service to the community.
NEWS EXAMINER REPORTER
DISCUSSION, Rosa Moosman
Ms. Moosman explained that Ms.
Oral Lutz has been doing correspondence for the News Examiner for many years
but because of her health she will no longer be able to write the articles. The
News Examiner is seeking input on who would be a good correspondent to take her
place. They would like someone that could cover the Town meetings and talk to
the new businesses, etc. It is a benefit to the entire community. They would
like to have someone that can e-mail the reports. She said that they would like
help from the Council to find someone who would be interested in doing this
work. It keeps people informed on what’s going on.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
DISCUSSION/APPROVAL, Locwood Final Plat Approval for Conceptual Plan,
Jay Christopherson
Mr. Christopherson said that the
Planning & Zoning Commission thought that they had already approved the
master plan for Lockwood. The clerks looked back through the minutes and
couldn’t find anywhere that it was approved so they are back here now to get approval
for the master plan for Lockwood Development. The Council looked over the master
plan. The master plan should have everything on it that we have been talking
about. They said that this is the new updated plan. Phase I has been approved
with some contingencies. This is just the approval for the final master plan,
the plan for the whole development. The stipulations on the final plat of phase
I will be taken care of on that plat. Council Member Leonhardt explained that
this is nothing more than a conceptual final plan, just an overall picture of
the entire project. There are no specifics on the master plan other than what
has already been done.
Council Member Seiler said that
there are still a lot of issues with the roads but that is one of the
conditions of phase I.
Council Member Leonhardt said
that there were no issues with the Planning & Zoning Commission for the
master plan.
Council Member Leonhardt made
the motion to approve the final/conceptual plat of the master plan for the
Lockwood Development. Council Member Gray seconded the motion. All in favor and
the motion carried.
SUBDIVISION DISCUSSION/APPROVAL,
Bear Lake Commercial Court, Darin Pugmire
Mr. Pugmire explained that he is
requesting approval for a minor subdivision for Bear Lake Commercial Court. He
is bringing in the utilities and the utility easement will also be a delivery
easement. He is dedicating 50' to Garden City for 3rd west that is
running south. He said that there are some issues for a new road, 2nd
west, that is being discussed with the master plan. The 2nd west
road would change his overall plan, he doesn’t want to give up another 100' for
that road but he would consider giving up a 60' right of way for 2nd
west. These lots are listed to sell right now. If we require a right of way for
2nd west he would want the town to do the encroachment onto the
road. Mayor Hansen asked if 2nd west would be a necessity. Council
Member Satterthwaite said that the fewer roads coming off the busy highway
would be better.
The front easement is a road
that will go all along the front of the lots. He is providing access for each
lot.
The Planning & Zoning
Commission already approved the plat depending on what the Town Council will
require for 2nd west and the fire hydrants.
Mr. Pugmire plans to leave the
ditch along the highway.
Mayor Hansen explained that we
can’t give a time limit for the encroachment onto 3rd west. In the
current General Plan there is no provision for 2nd west. Mr. Pugmire
said that if it gets to the point of the Town wanting to do 2nd
west, and he owns the property, he would be willing to give the Town the
property.
Council Member Satterthwaite
moved to approve the subdivision, Bear Lake Commercial Court, between 1st
west and 3rd west as presented. It will be divided into 4 lots.
Council Member Gray seconded the motion. All in favor and the motion carried.
PRELIMINARY PLAT REVIEW,
DISCUSSION/APPROVAL FOR PHASE 2 OF ELKS RIGDE SUBDIVISION, Frank
Smith and Lance Andersen
Mr. Smith explained that he
received a copy of the concerns for this plat from Mr. Linford. Mr. Linford
said that they are just concerns that these concerns are address prior to the
final plat.
Mr. Linford said that we would
hold them to the maximum of 12% for the road grades in this phase. Mr. Anderson
said that everything meets that except one little stretch, which will be 12-13%
for about 600'. Council Member Leonhardt said that his concern is emergency
vehicles. He said that fire code says 10%, and 13% is a huge concern. Mr.
Anderson said that it is not feasible to do 10%. He said that there are other
accesses that come in. Council Member Leonhardt said that he still has huge
concerns with the steeper grade. If we get a structure fire there it is too
steep to get a fire truck up there. Mr. Smith said that because of the
topography he doesn’t have that ability. There is also an access through
Raspberry Patch to get up there. Mr. Linford said that Raspberry Patch is
actually steeper than 12%. Mr. Anderson said that they will try to cut it down
to 12%. Mr. Linford said that if they can’t get it down to 12% then they may
need to apply for a variance for that stretch of road. Council Member Leonhardt
said that it is a huge safety issue on his point of view just trying to get an
emergency truck up there with that grade. He said that he feels that they need
to try to get it down to 12%. Council Member Leonhardt said that he wants to
provide the best fire protection that he can for the people that are building
there. Mayor Hansen said that they just need to be advised that we expect it to
be what we say here tonight. Mayor Hansen said that we have had developers
trying to push the limit on the road grades in the past.
Mr. Tom Weston said that with
the steeper grade of road that we are talking about they won’t be able to have
garbage collection. We can’t get a garbage truck up there. Mayor Hansen said
that will be an issue that they will have to address with the final plat.
The Council and the engineers
discussed ways to make the grade lower. Council Member Seiler said that we can’t
get close to the ordinance. We need to follow the ordinance. Mr. Linford read
the ordinance on street grades. Mr. Anderson said that there is about 500-600
feet where the increased grade will be.
Council Member Leonhardt said
that he wants to see it at 12% rather than the 13%. Mr. Smith said that he
plans to purchase equipment for snow removal. He said that they will work on it
to get the best they can.
Council Member Gray said that it
is somewhat reasonable to get the grade to 12%. He made the motion to approve
the plat as long as the elevations on the road meet the current requirements of
the ordinance as they sit today. Council Member Seiler seconded the motion. All
in favor and the motion carried.
3RD WEST DISCUSSION, Richard
Bodrero
Mr. Bodrero asked what the plans
are for 3rd west. Mayor Hansen said that it will not be asphalted
right away. Council Member Seiler said that the final survey should be started
on Tuesday and then the work should begin shortly after that. We will not have
access onto Hwy 89 right away because of the issues with UDOT and the left turn
lane. We will put the top base on soon and the paving will depend on the
budget. Also, connecting to Hwy 89 will depend on negotiation with UDOT.
NEW LIBRARY RENDERINGS, Bill
Serviss
Mr. Serviss explained that he
was asked to create renditions for the new library/Town Hall. He showed the
ideas that he has. We will have a open house for people to look over the
renditions.
ORDINANCE DISCUSSION/APPROVAL
Ordinance #06-01, An ordinance
to include a definition for Daycare/Preschool
This was the first attempt at an
ordinance to describe a daycare/preschool. It has been revised and is now
ordinance #06-12, which is the ordinance that we will use. Ordinance #06-01
will not be used and therefore is null and void.
Ordinance #06-12, An ordinance t
include a definition for Daycare/Preschool; Alternative definitions that were
proposed in Ordinance #06-01
The Council discussed a few
minor changes to the ordinance. Council Member Satterthwaite explained that
this ordinance needs to go to a public hearing.
Council Member Leonhardt made
the motion to send ordinance #06-12 to a public hearing. Council Member Seiler
seconded the motion. All in favor and the motion carried.
We need to re-do the zoning
ordinances to state the correct headings for daycare/preschool.
The Council agreed to move on to
the Building Inspectors Report
BUILDING INSPECTORS REPORT
Mr. John Abraham explained that
we only had 1 permit turned in this week. Things have slowed down a little bit.
Mayor Hansen asked that they have the Building Inspector reports ready for this
meeting so we know where we are.
Mr. Abraham said that he is
signing up for schools, to collect the credits, so the state will change his
certifications. Mr. Ralph Cannon did pass his mechanical and plumbing tests. We
are still getting help from Cache County on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the
commercial inspections.
ORDINANCE DISCUSSION/APPROVAL
Ordinance #06-14, An ordinance
to make the changes to the business license application process
This ordinance was changed based
on the recommendations from last month. This ordinance also needs to go to a
public hearing. When we make a reference to noticing requirement we need to be
specific as to business days or calendar days.
Council Member Leonhardt made
the motion to send ordinance #06-14 to a public hearing. Council Member Seiler
seconded the motion. All in favor and the motion carried.
Ordinance #06-15, An ordinance
setting the requirements for collecting a Building Permit Deposit
We will have the Town Attorney
and also the Building Inspectors look over this ordinance and give their
recommendations.
Ordinance #06-16, an ordinance
confirming the Assessment List and levying an assessment against certain
properties in the SID for the purpose of paying and financing the costs of
making certain improvements within the District, including paving roads,
cleaning culverts, sewer and water line connections, and other related
improvements; establishing a special improvement reserve fund; establishing the
effective date of this Ordinance and other related matters.
This ordinance will be on the
agenda next week during the public hearings for discussion and approval.
Ordinance Review and Change
Procedure
We need to determine how an
ordinance is changed. The Council agreed that only land use ordinances need to
go to the Planning & Zoning Commission for review, all other ordinances
just need to go to the Town Council for approval. The only ordinances that need
a public hearing are the land use ordinances and ordinances which stipulate
spending money.
Discussion Regarding the
Sidewalk Ordinance
Council Member Seiler said that
our sidewalk ordinance needs to be re-done. She is working with the Building
Inspector on a draft and she will get a copy of the rough draft to the Planning
& Zoning Commission. They want something for new subdivision and who will
do maintenance on the sidewalks. We need to get some guidelines and
requirements.
Council Member Seiler is meeting,
on Monday, to get the classifications on the roads and the widths of roads. She
said that our descriptions of roads don’t follow anything as far as the state
and federal requirements or descriptions. She is trying to make it consistant.
RESOLUTION DISCUSSION/APPROVAL
Resolution #R06-04, A Resolution
establishing the Garden City Building Permit Deposit Amount
The Council agreed that we need
to have the Town Attorney and the Building Inspectors look over this resolution
for suggestions.

2006 - June 30, 2007

Member Seiler seconded the motion. All in favor and the motion carried.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
Board of Adjustments
Council Member Leonhardt said
that the Board of Adjustment has some concerns regarding set backs for some of
the subdivisions. They feel that the Town needs to write letters to the HOA and
let them know that they need to follow the Town ordinance and that they also
need to change their CC&R’s to conform with the Town ordinances.
New Board of Adjustments Member
Mayor Hansen explained that
Mr.Tom Hutson did resign from the Board of Adjustments. Mayor Hansen has not
talked to anyone to replace him.

Council Member Leonhardt is over
Town events and he will contact the people doing the Iditerod to get more
information.
Pre-payment for Water
Connections
The Council discussed allowing
property owners to pre-pay for water connections while they are less expensive.
The Council agreed that we can allow them to pre-pay but we will start charging
the quarterly assessment as soon as they pay for the connection.
The Council also discussed the
pre-payments that we have already received. They Council said that we need to
get an opinion from the attorney on whether to start charging the old contracts
or not.
We will change the application
to start charging the assessment as soon as they sign the contract.
Request to install a Kiosk in
Garden City
We will get more information on
this request.

getting someone to be in charge of the Beautification Committee.

to find out how much it will cost and if the County Commissioners will
participate.

Council Member Seiler talked
about opening up the General Plan to include the Transportation Master Plan in
the General Plan. She also suggested that we look at the affordable housing
section. Mayor Hansen said that we have used the Buttercup Mobile Home park for
affordable housing in Garden City. Affordable housing is a federal and state
law. Council Member Seiler said that we also need to look at a place for a
school.
Mayor Hansen said that there is
so much to be done through Town and we may want to set aside 30 minutes in our
meetings to make goals.
