the bond to Build Inc. Then the

Council
BUILDING
INSPECTOR REPORT,
John Abraham
Mr. Abraham
explained that he had a few building permits pulled in April for approximately
$6,000 in revenue.
Council Member House
explained that the Planning Commission asked about the yellow on the
lighthouse, which is not in consistency with our community. The asked Mr. Abraham to address this issue
with the owner, which Mr. Abraham agreed he would. Council Member House said that maybe the yellow color is just a
coat of primer. It was a unanimous
decision of the Planning Commission for Mr. Abraham to work this out with the
owner of the building.
The Planning
Commission also had a concern regarding the parking at the development of Mr.
Dahl which is just east of the post
office. They were concerned that there
aren=t enough parking for the businesses that are
there and based on the original plans.
They have not added any additional buildings of what was submitted and
approved. We need to find the original
plan that was approved for that project.
Council Member Leonhardt said that if they haven=t changed the original plans of the buildings
then that was what was approved.
Council Member House asked that Mr. Abraham make sure that the propane
tank is buried and that he let the Council know what is going on there.
There is also a
question on the Texaco and the parking areas.
There are playground equipment and sheds in the parking area. Council Member House said that they have
blocked off the parking in the back.
Mr. Abraham will talk with the owner of the Bear=s Den and tell them that they need to move
the items out of the parking area before Memorial Day.
Mr. Abraham has
issued a building permit for the home at 465 S. Bear Lake Blvd but when he
issued the permit he talked to the owner about cleaning up the property. The addition is one room in the back of the
house. The owner is tearing down the
old room and replacing it and also bringing the inside of the house up to code.
WATER OPERATOR
REPORT, Travis Hobbs
Mr. Hobbs passed out
his budget request for the next year.
He said that they will need a skid steer for work around the Town and
also so they can have a mower attachment to mow the sides of the roads. They will also need a forklift at the
treatment plant and so they got a bid from Wheeler on a rental for the forklift
and the skid steer, which will be about $6,500 per year. That will be a lease for 4 years. The mower attachment for the skid steer will
be about $2000. The skid steer will be
used for a fork lift, a loader, a mower, etc.
That bid is a government bid.
They are requesting
that we budget so they can rent a front end loader to help keep the roads open
in the winter. They are having a hard
time keeping the roads open on the hills during the bad winter storms. This last winter we hired 2 different
companies for 3 days worth of work that cost us about $3,600. We could rent our own front end loader for
$3,000 for 2 months and then we can take care of that ourselves.
Mr. Hobbs is also
requesting an ice melter which melts the ice and opens frozen water lines. A new ice melter costs about $5,000 and he
thinks that the Bear Lake Water Company would like to go in half on one.
There isn=t a line item budget amount for tools, hand
tools so Mr. Hobbs is asking for a line item on the budget for tools.
Mr. Hobbs would like
the Council to put money aside each year for a new plow truck which we will
probably need in the future. He would
like us to put money aside so we have something to purchase one in the future.
Mr. Hobbs would like
to get a tough shed for the park for a place to store the mower and the gator
and some hand tools.
Mr. Hobbs said that they
awarded the bid for the remodel of the restrooms at the park. The bid was $19,425. That is for 3 new toilets a urinal, new
drywall, repaint the outside, new outside doors, etc. The mens restroom door is not handicap assessable so it needs to
be cut out and changed to make it handicap assessable. It is a big project.
Mr. Hobbs said that
they found the valve at the park so they will replace it and fix it so it won=t
leak anymore.
Mr. Hobbs explained
that the state is coming up this week to do the sanitary survey. They have been repairing a few things that
they needed to update like locks etc.
All the water areas are now secured.
Mr. Hobbs will
request a bid for a new fence to be replaced or repaired around the
springs.
They are waiting for
LeGrand Johnson for some asphalt repair.
They are working on getting up a few street signs. They have been
installing the radio read meters when they install or replace new meters.
They have learned
how to take GIS points so they can work on better maps of the water lines, etc.
Council Member
Huefner asked Mr. Hobbs to keep a running list of the asphalt needs so she can
add to that also.
Mr. Hobbs said that
Mayor Hansen would like to do the bike path by Harbor Village in conjunction with
3rd west turn lane. Council
Member Huefner said that we should get the bike path done and not wait, the
Council agreed. Mr. Hobbs will work on
getting a bid together for the bike path by Harbor Village.
Council Member
Huefner said that the mag water will be coming soon, Greg and Carol Bills will
be working on that with Mr. Hobbs help.
Mr. Hobbs asked if
the Council is going to accept the road that accesses the Negus property. He
explained that the County Road Manager told him that they were not going to
maintain that road because it was annexed by Garden City. Mr. Hobbs said that if the County isn=t going to maintain it then we should make
sure that it doesn=t get
forgotten. Council Member Leonhardt
said that we won=t take that road over until it is up to Town
standards. Council Member Huefner said
that since we annexed them into the Town then it posses a problem because the
county doesn=t want to maintain roads that aren=t in the County. The Council agreed that this will take further discussion.
BUSINESS
LICENSE APPROVAL/DISCUSSION
Dahl Holding
LLC., Lori Dahl
Ms. Dahl explained
that they own the buildings and they are renting the 10 units at 65 W. Logan
Road. There could be double units in
some of the buildings. Ms. Dahl drew a
picture of the layout of the buildings and the parking area which has about 30
parking spaces. Council Member
Leonhardt said that this development with the buildings and the parking has
already been approved. Council Member
Huefner said that she would like to see the parking layout for safety
issues. Council Member House said that
there may be some problems in the future depending on what type of business
goes in there.
Council Member
Huefner said that she wants to go on record that it is too dense and the
parking needs to be specific. She said
that she wants to see the parking stipulated and designated. Ms. Dahl said that they don=t plan to pave the parking this year. Council Member Huefner said that paving the
parking would help. Council Member
Huefner said that she would like them to stipulate where the parking is
located. They could put signs on the
fence where the parking is to be.
There are 2 public
restrooms in the project. They are
assessable from the outside.
Council Member
Leonhardt said that the parking may be an issue and may need to be re-addressed
after this year but the project has already been approved. The plans and everything have already been
approved so now they are just asking to conduct business out of it.
Council Member
Leonhardt made the motion to accept the business license application for Dahl
Holding, LLC. Council Member Schnetzer
seconded the motion. All in favor and
the motion carried.
Quiet Corner,
Heidi Dexter
They are not in
attendance so the Council will come back to this agenda item if they show up.
Yellow Snow
Hawaiian Shaved Ice, Tessa Dahl
Ms. Dahl said this
building will be in the second building from the front. She will be selling shaved ice and
smothies. This unit doesn=t have a public restroom but there are
restrooms in the development.
Council Member House
said that he has a conflict with this issue because his wife sells shaved ice
at another business.
She does have a tax
number and will get it to the clerks prior to the business license being
issued.
Council Member
Leonhardt made the motion to accept the business license for Yellow Snow
Hawaiian Shaved Ice. Council Member
Huefner seconded the motion. Council
Member Schnetzer asked about adding smoothies to the application. Council Member Leonhardt told her to make
sure that they have all the health deptartment requirements taken care of. All in Favor and the motion Carried.
Bear Lake
Landscaping, Bryce Huefner
Council Member
Huefner said that she has a conflict and will not be in with the
discussion.
This request is just
to add to the current business license that they will be renting landscaping
and construction equipment.
Council Member
Leonhardt made the motion to allow Bear Lake Landscaping to add rental of
landscaping and construction equipment to their current business license. Council Member Schnetzer seconded the
motion. A roll call vote was taken,
Council Member Scnetzer, for; Council Member Leonhardt, for; Council Member
Huefner, obstained. Motion carried.
SHORT TERM RENTAL
DISCUSSION/APPROVAL
Inn at Snow
Meadows, Greg & Carol Bills
This request is for
the short term rental of the 2 homes in Snow Meadows. Mr. Bills asked for clarification on the occupancy
limitations. It was explained that for
every 100 square foot of sleeping space that is measured is included in the
calculations. Mr. Bills said that they
have more than adequate parking for their guests.
Council Member
Huefner made the motion to accept the Bills application for short term rental
application, pending the inspection.
Council Member Schnetzer seconded the motion. All in favor and the motion carried.
ZONE CHANGE
DISCUSSION/APPROVAL
Mr. Lamar Spencer is
not in attendance tonight. The Planning
Commission recommended that this request be denied. If Mr. Spencer comes to the meeting later the Council will
address this requests. The Council was
given a letter from an adjacent property owners regarding this request.
SUBDIVISION
PLAT DISCUSSION/APPROVAL
Maple Draw at
Shundahai, Norm Mecham
The Council read the
comments and recommendation from the Planning Commission. Council Member House explained that the
Planning Commission approved the preliminary plat for Maple Draw. Mr. Mecham explained the changes which were
discussed last night. The changes suggested
were to move the entrance and eliminate the one lot right off the
entrance. The road widths will remain
the same, which will be a 24' travel way with a 3' on each side for a biking or
walk way. That gives them a 10' area to
do something with before it gets to the property line. That makes the road
width a total of 50'. They want to do a
landscape area there which will be an area for water drainage and a place to
plow snow to. They will extend the
driveways out to the bike path.
They will allow
short term rentals in this area but it will be limited because of the 6 parking
spots, which they have for each unit.
Mr. Mecham explained
that this development will be close to hole number 7 of the golf course, so they didn=t include open space in this plat.
Mr. Mecham explained that if it was plated in this subdivision then the
people who own in the subdivision would have exclusive claim to that open
space, which is the 7th hole of the golf course. They are committing open space next to it in
the golf course so everyone in the entire development can use it.
Council Member
Huefner asked what happens if the economy goes down and the golf course had to
be sold, where is the open space. Mr.
Mecham said that they can dedicate that to open space so it will remain open
space even if the golf course is sold.
They can dedicate so that if
something happens it will be dedicated for their use as open space.
Council Member
Schnetzer asked about the entrance, the ingress and the egreess and how they
connect to the other phases. Mr. Mecham
showed their master plan and how the road system connects through their
development and to 3rd west.
Council Member
Leonhardt made the motion to approve the preliminary plat with the changes that
have been explained. Council Member
Huefner seconded the motion. All in
favor and the motion carried.
Mr. Mecham will
prepare a legal description for the area of the dedicated open space for this
plat. It will meet the PUD open space
requirements.
ORDINANCE
DISCUSSION/APPROVAL
Ordinance #08-09,
An Ordinance of the Town of Garden City regulating encroachments on the Town
Right-of-Way or other public properties, providing for the issuance of
encroachment permits, collection of fees, and providing penalties for violation
thereof.
Council Member
Huefner explained that during the Planning Commission meeting they decided to
rescind the section in the ordinance book which regulates bore and
cutting.
The utility
companies will not be charged a fee for an encroachment but they will need to
fill out the application for permit.
All others will be charged a fee and also will have to fill out the
application for permit.
We will keep the
current application.
Council Member
Schnetzer made the motion to accept the encroachment ordinance. Council Member Leonhardt seconded the
motion. All in favor and the motion
carried.
Ordinance #08-10,
An Ordinance to update the commercial zone within the Town of Garden City, to
create separate zoning areas and establish the requirements for each zone.
Planning
Commissioner Ballingham explained that this ordinance was discussed last month
during the Planning Commission meeting and also during the Town Council
meeting. It was updated with the with
the changes that were requested last month.
Commission Member Ballingham asked if there were any questions or concerns
with the ordinance as presented. There
were a few typographical changes that were made to the ordinance.
Another concern
mentioned is that with this ordinance it puts the architectural standards and
parking requirements in 2 different places in the ordinances. Commission Member Ballingham said that they
discussed that during the meeting last night.
He explained that they are requesting that the Council rescind the
current architectural standards and replace it with the architectural standards
as proposed in the commercial zone ordinance.
Commission Member Ballingham read the changes as proposed by the
Planning Commission.
The Council
discussed applying the architectural standards to residential structures in the
commercial zone. Commissioner
Ballingham explained that we are trying to be somewhat symmetrical in the look
of the structures in the commercial zone.
The Council agreed to apply the architectural standards to residential
structures in the commercial zone ordinance.
Council Member
Huefner stated that the 75% requirement for wood, rock, etc. on 3 sides of the
structure may be too much to ask.
The parking section
of the proposed ordinance was discussed regarding where to place it in the
ordinances. It was discussed of leaving
it in the commercial section or putting it in the parking section of the
ordinances.
Council Member
Leonhardt said that he would like to see the ordinance come back to the Council
with the changes made and in writing.
The Council agreed that we need to bring back the ordinance as a
finished product next month. Planning Commissioner Ballingham asked for a
motion accepting the ordinances and including the additions that were discussed
tonight.
Council Member
Leonhardt made the motion to accept the amendments and we would like to see it
on the ordinance but it won=t be approved until next month with the appropriate changes. Council Member Huefner seconded the
motion. All in favor and the motion
carried.
The decision on the
parking is that it should be in one place in the ordinance, leave it where it
is right now in the ordinance, and the commercial ordinance will reference the
parking ordinance.
The Council
discussed creating a zone for a sexually oriented business. The Council discussed including sexually
oriented businesses as a conditional use permit in the C2 Commercial zone where
they will be buffered from the rest of the community. Commissioner Ballingham said that if you don=t plan for it someone else will do it for
you.
Council Member
Schnetzer made the motion to add the sexually oriented business as a conditional
use permit in the C2 zone. Council
Member Huefner seconded the motion. All
in favor and the motion carried.
ZONING MAP
DISCUSSION AND REVIEW
Commission Member
Ballingham showed the proposed map and stated that this is only taking the
current commercial zone and separating it into three commercial zone areas. He
explained the uses of the different proposed zones.
We will need to send
notices to all the property owners who will be affected by the zone changes.
The Planning Commission will have another public hearing prior to their next
meeting to address the zone changes.
Commissioner Ballingham will review the ordinance with the changes
before it is sent to the property owners.
CLARIFICATION
OF PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNED RESIDENTIAL UNIT DEVELOPMENT
PROCEDURES,
Commission Member
Ballingham explained that his concern is the same as many of the Planning
Commission that with all the new ordinances they feel that we all may needs
some additional training. We may not
completely understand all the new ordinances and how they work.
Commission Member
Ballingham said that he is very concerned that last month the Council approved
the Cobblestone Development for a PUD permit.
He said that there is no such thing as a PUD permit, that it doesn=t exist in the ordinances because there is no
definition. A PUD requires a mixed
use.
Commission Member
Ballingham said that his main concern is with the Cobblestone Development and
what was discussed by the Town Council and what was approved with their
development. He said that the Planning
Commission puts in a lot of work on these projects and felt that the Council
didn=t support the work that they did on that
project. He also said that a precidence
was set last month that if they don=t like what the Planning Commission says they can always come to the
Council and they will approve the project.
Council Member
Huefner said that this project came in as the first project with the new
ordinances. She stated that we are
still learning and the Planning Commission is still learing. She said that most of the time when the
Planning Commission makes a recommendation or gives comments on a project they
listen to those comments and act based on the comments. She said that this project was emotionally
charged and had outside influenced.
Council Member
Huefner said that the Council is aware that the Planning Commission has worked
hard on the ordinances and they also work hard on the ordinances. She stated that there were some special
circumstances with the project last month and that is why we did what we did.
Council Member
Leonhardt said that the Planning Commission shouldn=t take it personally. They have the right to come to the Town
Council to have their project reviewed by the Council also. The Council has the right to approve
something that the Planning Commission didn=t on a case by case basis. The
Council does take into consideration what the Commission recommends to the
Council.
Council Member
Huefner said that project was a special case, we will all go forward and follow
the ordinances. We need to be careful
and live by the spirit of the law other than the letter of the law every
time. It was a special case because the
ordinances were so new and we were making so many changes and there were so
many emotions connected to this project.
Council Member House
said that they will have to come back anyway because that was just a PUD
similar to a concept plan. Council
Member Schnetzer said that it was a PUD, just a concept plan and we understand
that there will be changes that need to be made.
Commission Member
Ballingham said that we all need to be on board. We need to contact Mr. Webb and tell him that he was given
something that didn=t
exist. We are fine with the conceptual
plan but he needs to come back for further direction with his project.
Commission Member
Ballingham asked that a Planning Commission Member be and advisor to the
Council during the discussion of the projects that they have had discussion
on. Council Member Leonhardt said that
if a Commission Member is here in the audience then we will give them time to
address the Council regarding the Planning Commission discussion.
Commission Member
Ballingham asked for a motion that in the future on every project that the
Planning Commission be given key moments or at least consulted as to what the
Planning commission discussed. Council
Member Leonhardt said that the Planning Commission will be give time to address
the Council. Commission Member
Ballingham said that the Commission Member shouldn=t be an audience member it should be someone
who is an advisor to the Board.
The Council agreed
that we will certainly call on the Planning Member to give information to the
Board.
The Town Council
said that we don=t need a motion regarding this issue.
Council Member
Huefner said that the Planning Commission discussed having a planner contracted
by the developer so they can sit down with them and go over the ordinances and
what they need to do according to the ordinances. Council Member Leonhardt said that we need to start the
pre-meetings up again. They did a lot
of good because it gave the developer a lot of insight on what they needed to
do before they got to the Planning Commission or Town Council.
Town Clerk Hislop
said that if the PUD/PRUD doesn=t exist according to the ordinances then we need to get the ordinance
corrected so that this doesn=t happen again.
The Council agreed
that the conceptual plan is the first step of a project. The preliminary is the second step and you
only need a conceptual plan and a preliminary plan for the entire project. The final plan is for each phase.

that he needs to pay his water bill as the policy and ordinances state.
Reconveyance of
Land
Town Clerk Hislop
explained that Ms. Marilyn Adams, from Hickman Title, sent a note today stating
that she did a title report for this building and the Trust was never
reconveyed when we purchased the land for this building. We will contact Mr. Arlo Price to have him
sign the reconveyance.
Proposed
Annexation
Town Clerk Hislop
explained that she went to the County Commission meeting to have the proposed
annexation of over 1000 acres approved to be annexed into the Garden City Town
limits. The Commissioners explained
that they were fine with the annexation.
They cautioned Garden City because that takes all that acreage out of
their Urban Wildlife Fire Suppression.
The County has an insurance fund that will pay if there is ever a fire
in that area. The Town is not able to
participate in that suppression fund so if there is a fire then we would be
responsible for the costs to fight the fire.
They also said that
we annexed property that included the road that goes to the Negus home. Because we annexed that property it is no
longer a county road and they will no longer be responsible for it, it is not a
town road. The Council agreed that we
may need to negotiate on the maintenance and upkeep on that road. We need to get the Mayor involved in that
negotiation.
COUNCIL MEMBER
REPORT
Council Member
Schnetzer explained that we have a contract for the remodel of the restroom at
the park. They also, found the water
valve and they are working on the sprinkler system at the park. They are doing a great job.
Council Member
Schnetzer said that Mr. John Spuhler will be the Chairman for the Raspberry
Days Breakfast.
Council Member
Schnetzer is working with the Beautification Committee to get started on
special projects for them
Council Member
Huefner met with UDOT and they are willing to put in 3 stop signs at the
junction so it will be a 3 way stop.
They are also willing to put in a flashing light at the
intersection. They won=t do it this year, they need to do more of a
study. Sheriff Stacey said that he
would rather have a stop light or a flashing caution light at the intersection,
other than the 3 way stop.
UDOT also wants a
resolution from the city stating that we are requesting them to make the
highway parallel parking, not a angle parking.
They can=t do signs on the highway until the
resolution is done. Council Member
Huefner will draft the resolution.
We are still waiting
for UDOT to determine if we need a left turn lane onto Paradise Parkway going
south.

warning flashing light at the Marina.
