Consent Items:
Motion was made by CM Clifford to approve the minutes of February 27, 2007 (open meeting and closed meetings). 2nd by CM Ferguson. Voting was unanimous in favor.
Business:
1. Mosquito Abatement’s year end report. (Presenter: Richard Lewis)
Richard Lewis, Pleasant View City’s Representative, presented the Mosquito Abatement’s 60th year-end report.
2. Conditional Use Permit request for Marsh Construction for a building materials yard on property located at approximately 950 W 2550 N (Presenter: Bruce Talbot)
Mayor Wheelwright: the conditional use permit and site plan came before the planning commission. They took no action on the site plan and forwarded the conditional use permit to the council for action. Is this a permitted use? We will limit the discussion to that tonight, and if yes, it will be sent back to the planning commission to work on the conditions along with the site plan approval. CM Call: to clarify the statement, it is to consider if it is an “allowed use”, it is not a “permitted use.” Bruce Talbot: the use in the C-2 Zone table is labeled ‘hardware/building materials’. It is still my opinion that the use is for a hardware store and selling in-store. The planning commission thinks in terms of ‘building materials’ and believes it is allowed. That’s where you come in. The other two issues are site plan issues. The proposed site plan was presented. Dave Marsh: I didn’t want to spend funds on a detail plan if it is not allowed. The planning commission didn’t want traffic leaving 2700 N. We can put a ‘do not enter’ sign and let traffic exit to 2550 N. I would like access on 2700 N as an entrance, since UDOT gave the access to us for future access. Dave Marsh reviewed: his site plan, the types of materials to be sold, the height, width and number of bins, controlling materials from the wind by the height of the bins or wetting the material down with rain birds, the height of the stacking materials, the office building location and location of signs; and one being on 2700 N and a more elaborate sign on 2550 N. He discussed debris from exiting the lot and paving/concreting all the area except the storage area. The 2700 N corridor accesses along with the UDOT agreement was discussed.CM Clifford: my observation is that most of the uses in the C-2 Zone are typically contained lots with the exemption of greenhouses, which doesn’t make sense. Bruce Talbot: the C-2 and the MCM ordinances were both adopted the same time. The uses are almost identical. One is commercial and the other more industrial. Bruce Talbot: 2700 N is our street on the corridor. The accesses associated with the UDOT agreement is defeated with every request. Dave Marsh: the next approach is almost to 600 W. Mike Marsh: if you want us to share an access why didn’t the storage units. The ground is not worth a dime without an access. Paul Ellsworth: two years ago, UDOT gave an access agreement and it was not in place then. CM Clifford: we need the blessing of UDOT to proceed. We almost need to master plan the area with UDOT. Mayor Wheelwright: master planning takes time. Only requirement at this time is to cooperate in establishments of future businesses and shared accesses. There was a corridor study done which was objectionable. It needs some kind of frontage road or shared access. All the questions tonight should be to address whether it is an allowed use. CM Clifford: it’s a stretch. It is definitely not hardware. CM Humphreys: it is building materials. Mike Marsh: we will have finishing tools and there will be hardware to rent. CM Clifford: it is not clear that UDOT will grant your access. Dave Marsh: I agree. CM Clifford: other property owners rely on us to get them accesses. Dave Marsh: we will share an access. Some felt that concrete is not building materials. In the dictionary is says it is building materials. Bruce Talbot: hardware/building material are not listed in a separated line. CM Ferguson: it may be a heartache to limit the access to 2550 N, but later when they get the traffic light it may be good for them to stay with 2550 North. CM Clifford: what if we said that the lower 1/3 area would be given the conditional use permit and only one entrance/exit. Dave Marsh the plan is wide enough for both ways.
Motion was made by CM Call to consider this (building materials yard) an allowed conditional use in this particular zone (C-2). And to send this back to the planning commission to draft the conditions and then send it back to the city council with only the southern 1/3 area being considered. The 2700 N access issue will be addressed in the site plan process. 2nd by CM Humphreys. Voting was unanimous in favor.
3. Amend the consolidated fee schedule to add a deposit fee for development signs. (Presenter: Bruce Talbot)
Bruce Talbot: I acquired signs for developments to be place on properties. The cost is $100 deposit and if the developers bring them back then the deposit is given back. CM Call: under what authority? Bruce Talbot: the state law gives options. CM Call: check with the city attorney. If we do anything, that becomes the standard. Then, if we fail to put the signs up, that my be misconstrued as inadequate notice, or trying to “sneak” something through. Bruce Talbot: we’ll put up the signs and continue that other notices until adopt an ordinance. It can take the place of mailings. CM Call: is the city going to put them up or the developer? Should developers do our noticing? We need an official process and the ordinance in place first. Debbie Jones: we should be responsible to put up the signs.
Motion was made by CM Call to take no action until an ordinance is in place. 2nd by CM Humphreys. Voting was unanimous in favor.
Standing Reports:
Mae Ferguson: On March 24th, the youth council will be going to homes and do yard work. Several homes have been chosen. The Easter hunt will be April 7th.
Mayor Wheelwright: Skyline Dr have been place on WFRC’s plan for phase 1 funding. It will help when we approach alternative funding sources.
Mayor Wheelwright: from the Mackley meeting the council should be thinking about letting Mackleys develop according to the open space zone and would that be okay. CM Humphreys: no, I would welcome them back to the ordinance in place. CM Clifford: I have an issue of loop hopes. What is special about them?
Mayor Wheelwright: there will be a closed meeting at next meeting on litigation.
Mayor Wheelwright: the city didn’t get any funding from the RAMP Tax.
Other Business:
Laurie Hellstrom: Weber County would like to know by May 1st if the city will be using the election machines. The city approximate cost is $30,000 for both a primary and general election to use the machines.
Adjournment: 8:15 P.M.
