Business:
1. Final subdivision approval for Mountain View Landing (commercial development) located on the northwest corner of HWY 89 and 2700 N (Presenter: Bruce Talbot)
Mike Humphreys: my biggest concern is what the buildings look like. CM Bailey asked for clarification on #5 of the staff report regarding the plaza being designed and constructed by the city. Bruce Talbot: we have talked about the city paying for it under the Betterments funding to upgrade the station. Mayor Wheelwright: we have talked about them keeping the plaza. It appears that we or the developer can build it cheaper than UTA without any strings attached. We want to explore the possibility of incorporating it into your development along with exploring other participants in building it rather than dedicating it to UTA. Dee Hansen: I’m concerned with long-term maintenance. You want us to maintain it as part of our subdivision? Mayor Wheelwright: yes. Dee Hansen: all the detention water is going north which freed up that area. There is no onsite detention. Kent Jones is designing the storm drain. Mayor Wheelwright: we budgeted money during the budget workshop. Dee Hansen: it is workable and not unreasonable. Mayor Wheelwright: we don’t know what the plaza will look like and we don’t know the maintenance needs of it. Dee Hansen: we need to meet with the Betterments Committee on its planning. CM Humphreys: I would like to tie the look of the buildings into the area along 2700 N. Are there going to be any two-story buildings? Dee Hansen: our plan is not to do two-story buildings at this time, but zoning would allow it. Mayor Wheelwright: are there any rendering on the retail pads? Plans were shown. CM Bailey: I have heartburn for the city saying what it should look like and ethically it is crossing the line. CM Humphreys: we are not there to tell, but we are trying to have a theme followed for that development and down the road - an upscale look. Mayor Wheelwright: have you been in contact with the Betterments Committee? Dee Hansen: yes. CM Humphrey: we have an opportunity on how we want 2700 N to develop and people should be able to develop their property. Mayor Wheelwright: the Betterments Committee is coming to the planning commission with a proposed ordinance that incorporates these design elements. It has been a very collaborate process. CM Ferguson: other communities have these developments that have themes and it is very pleasing. Brent Bailey: there will the same rock on buildings, similar roof features, etc. Certain things will be taken from all the buildings. Dee Hansen: the biggest challenge is the marketability of two-story buildings. Bruce Talbot: the planning commission granted approval subject to the items in the staff report.
Motion was made by CM Call grant subdivision approval to Mountain View Landing (commercial development) located on the northwest corner of HWY 89 and 2700 N subject to the items on the staff report (dated May 29, 2007). 2nd by CM Ferguson. Voting was unanimous in favor.
2. Discussion and/or action on turning over a 10” water main to Bona Vista Improvement District. (Presenter: Fred Hellstrom)
Fred Hellstrom: you have the minutes from the Bona Vista’s meeting (April 30, 2007). Mayor Wheelwright: why is this good? Fred Hellstrom: it will separate the districts. We will know where each other’s lines are. The cost to the city is the cost to change out four meters at approximately $400 each. Mayor Wheelwright: Pleasant View City will service the east side of HWY 89 and Bona Vista the west side. Who are the four buildings on the west to be annexed into Bona Vista without any annexation fee, just the cost of the meters? Fred Hellstrom: Jerry’s Heating, the Plaza, the cabinet shop, and Don Hurford. I have talked to all of them and the only concern was the lady from the plaza who was concerned with getting two bills -one from Bona Vista for the water and one from Pleasant View for the sewer. Brent Bailey will make the connection. Mayor Wheelwright: why did Bona Vista start serving the west side? Fred Hellstrom: we don’t have that much water for the industrial area. Admiral Beverage uses 1,000,000 gallons a day. Mayor Wheelwright: is there a written agreement with Brent Bailey? Fred Hellstrom: I got a verbal agreement last week. The total cost to the city should be approximately $2,000 and 30 minutes of labor for each meter. We will be ahead if we do it. There are about five water main breaks a year in that area and the loss of water. A water line was run to them when their wells went dead. Mayor Wheelwright: I am concerned with approving this without a written agreement from Brent Bailey.
Motion was made by CM Bailey to approve turning over the 10” water main to Bona Vista Improvement as proposed, pending an agreement with Brent Bailey to make the tie. 2nd by CM Humphreys. Voting was unanimous in favor.
3. Consider combining voting precincts for the 2007 elections. (Presenter: Laurie Hellstrom)
