Business:
1. Public Hearing – Zone change to residential for Pleasant Fields Phase 2 located at approximately 1375 W 3100 N. (Presenter: Bruce Talbot)
Motion was made by CM Clifford to open the public hearing. 2nd by CM Ferguson. Voting was unanimous in favor.
Bruce Talbot: the property was purchased in order to extend the road and for sewer and land drain purposes. It will add five lots to the overall project. The planning commission was concerned with the status of the adjacent properties, which are shown as potential commercial. The property owner would like the streets stubbed if it is residential or if the property becomes commercial, staff recommends cul-de-sacs. At the subdivision process, should they be required to provide an access? CM Clifford: we are addressing strictly zoning. The council discussed commercial properties on the General Plan and zoning. CM Humphreys: what is Eckhart’s access off Hwy 89? Bruce Talbot: limited if at all. Glen Lent: all the improvements are going through this property (Budge’s) with a cul-de-sac, but it can be changed. Mayor Wheelwright asked for public comments. No one was present who wished to speak.
Motion was made by CM Clifford to end the public hearing. 2nd by CM Humphreys. Voting was unanimous in favor.
CM Clifford: the planning commission notes are right on – until we see what happens to the adjacent property we don’t want to land-lock them. Bruce Talbot: one comment from Don Jones – he is looking at residential now. CM Clifford: we had areas for commercial. I don’t feel like its been planned well. CM Humphreys: it’s hard to plan without owning the property. CM Clifford: what can be put on a small island of commercial? Mayor Wheelwright: the contrast on Hwy 89, homes are being building next the Hwy 89. Is that what we want? Homes built up to a Class 5 road. We planned well, but we have not followed through with the plans.
Motion was made by CM Bailey to approve the rezone as outlined (zone change to RE-15 for Pleasant Fields Phase 2 located at approximately 1375 W 3100 N) with the same cautions as the planning commission’s effort on planning this with the surrounding properties (Ordinance 2007-6). 2nd by CM Humphreys: Roll Call Vote.

5. Consider adopting an ordinance granting to Questar Gas Company a franchise for the construction, operation and maintenance of gas distribution system in Pleasant View City.
Mayor Wheelwright asked to pull the ordinance to check if the $50 franchise amount is comparable to other cities.
6. Discussion and/or action on the removal of the power pole at the roundabout. (Presenter: Paul Ellsworth)
Paul Ellsworth: If we want to go underground, it will cost $25,000 to bore and if there are problems, it could be more. We could change the pole out to a metal pole that they will pay for if they can go 20’ in ground, but the problem is that the center is not available. We did put in conduits underground per their request, but that was two owners ago. Paul is to explore other options.
7. Update on park at west end of city. (Paul Ellsworth)
Paul Ellsworth: the Moore property is asking $72,000 an acre and they feel that they can’t come down. The property is sloped and there is a lot of water. It would be an expensive piece of property. CM Bailey: I rather spend the funds on the existing parks. Paul Ellsworth: the other park option is off 1000 W (west of Park Springs) and acquired additional property around it. We are also looking at purchasing a piece by Shady Lane Park. CM Humphreys: The property owner to the east of us (City Hall) is interested in talking.
8. Workshop on amending the zoning ordinances.
No workshop occurred. Bruce Talbot gave the council two additional ordinances.
Adjournment: 9:45 P.M.
