She reminded them about the joint work meeting on March 30 th with a start time of 4:00pm to tour the new city hall. 6:12:09 PM City Planner Bryn McCarty explained that the subdivision was approved next to the Cove. Mr. Kelsch has a lot next to Wide Hollow and 6600 West. It has been his intent to divide that lot into a flag lot. The concern was that the subdivision was approved for a very specific number of lots. The applicant would need to amend the approval. Commissioner Adam Jacobson reiterated that the development was only approved with a specific amount of lots. Chair Smith explained that he would not be willing to add an additional lot to the development. Mr. Kelsch reported that the lot was on the developer s drawings from the very beginning. Then he told him it was okay to take the lot off in order to let things settle out and then he would come back later and develop it then. City Planner Bryn McCarty explained because of the way the subdivision was approved, their hands were tied. Mr. Kelsch asked about a possibility in a different area. City Planner Bryn McCarty advised him that they would work with him to see about other options. City Manager Brett Wood announced a tour of the new city hall on March 30 th and advised the
March 2, 2017 ~ Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 18 commission to meet at the new city hall building at 5:00pm. City Planner Bryn McCarty questioned the time, she had been told 4:00pm. They would confirm the time before that date. He advised them to wear boots and protective clothing. 6:24:50 PM City Planner Bryn McCarty asked the commission if there was anything they would like to discuss during the joint meeting. One request was for home occupations. City Planner Bryn McCarty mentioned that the council had concerns about accessory buildings and would like to discuss second story, setbacks and occupants in a living space above the garage. They will also discuss policies and procedures and a Community Coordinator Program. The program would involve a neighborhood coordinator that the developer would be required to organize neighborhood meetings with prior to meeting with the commission. 6:27:17 PM City Attorney John Brems briefly discussed the topic of social media. He explained that rules of procedure that say no ex parte communication. Which means that you are not to talk to others about matters that are in front of planning commission. He advised them that it is not a good idea to comment on social media regarding planning matters. Chair Smith explained that it was a protection for them and the city 6:29:17 PM Item 2.1 The amendment to the Walmart Elevations will be continued. The applicant was still working on changes based on the commission comments from the last meeting. City Engineer Blake Thomas reported recently seeing a Walmart like the one proposed and thought it looked good. Item 2.2 Detention Pond Dedication plot amendment to dedicate a detention pond to the city. Item 2.3 Complete Care Hospital Facility the applicant for the Hospital provided parking numbers and information regarding fencing. Item 2.4 Preschool amendment to conditions. Applicant asked to change the requirement of written approval from the HOA and the other home owner. They have provided a letter from their attorney that felt it addressed the common space issue. David Watts representing the HOA explained which area was limited use common area. The attorneys agreed that limited use was owned and controlled by the HOA. The CC&R s state that the owners have exclusive rights and use to use the limited use areas for access and who comes on the property, however, they do not have right to decide who can and cannot use the other s property. The HOA has the exclusive right to decide who can and cannot use the limited use common area. The drop off and pick up will be on the private road. They cannot use the area for the business, no cars will be allowed in the common use area. Item 2.5 Beer License the proposal was for an off premises beer license for the recently approved gas station. The license is a conditional use in the zone. Alcohol would need to be consumed off premise, the license would basically allow the sale of beer. The applicant provided a letter to show how it complies for the conditional use. Staff did received some emails and they were provided in the packet.
March 2, 2017 ~ Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 18 Mayor Freeman explained that he had received emails as well and there may be some people present who would like to make a comment. He requested that the commission explain why public comment would not be allowed and why the item could be approved as a conditional use. Chair Smith explained that there was also a letter received that mentioned how it would be inappropriate for the commission to take the application because of an action before the city. He clarified that there has been no action taken and there is nothing ahead of this application that would warrant them not to take action on the application in place. Chair Smith further added that the city set the business hours, however, there are regulations and conditions set by law that the applicant would have to meet to maintain their license. It was noted that the regulations for the sale of beer was similar to the regulations for Smith s or Walmart. Item 2.6 Basement Apartment the commission requested that Mr. Witzel provide approval from the HOA for his subdivision, however, the HOA is no longer in place and therefore he cannot obtain approval from them. Item 2.7 LDS Church in the Black Hawk Subdivision was fairly standard. It does show stone on the elevation. City Engineer Blake Thomas reported that the Fire Marshall approved the design. The traffic study did not require a road connection and the church does not want the connection, however, they will provide a pedestrian access. City Planner Bryn McCarty noted the four rail fence along the trail on the north side of the property and suggested that the church install something similar. Item 2.8 Verizon Wireless Monopole at Providence High School the applicant provided renderings. Item 2.9 & 2.10 Subdivision and Master Plan for 17 Single Family Lots & 41 Townhomes in Pod 30 a church was originally proposed for the property, however, the church was no longer interested and the applicant was proposing houses that will match the surrounding areas. Matt Watson (applicant) explained that the product type proposed was similar to a style already approved in other subdivisions; two car garages and two car driveways. Color schemes were reviewed and fencing was briefly discussed. Item 3.1 Rezone from A-1, A-.50 and A-.25 to R-1-10 trying to get an approval for it to remain A-.25 Jerry Walker provided a plan and wanted to make sure they understood that it was only a concept plan. Regarding A-.25 cannot be recommended but you can say R-1-10 is not the best option and they felt that A-.25 would probably be the best for the area but the council would be the only one that could make that decision. The density of the surrounding properties were A-.25. Item 3.2 Text Change to Off Street Parking Ordinance the proposed ordinance was consistent with other neighboring city ordinances. The parking ordinance proposed was for residential only, not commercial. The ordinance would affect any new applications without a development agreement already in place. City Planner Bryn McCarty reported that the whole ordinance was almost complete and will be discussed at the next work meeting. City Council was having a public hearing on the general plan next week. It was noted that the public hearing was not required, however, they thought it would be good to hold allowing information to be shared and comments to be made. City Attorney John Brems reminded
March 2, 2017 ~ Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 18 the commission that even though it will be on the website, they do not need to comment or respond to comments made.

The proposal was for a conditional use which was an allowed use in the zone, with conditions placed to mitigate the effects; such as parking, fencing, etc. The applicant submitted a parking study and clarified that the fencing would go around the property and around the generator. Reed Dixon (applicant), Infinity Consultants representing Complete Care reported that modifications were made to the plan and a letter was submitted showing hundreds of other facilities similar to the one proposed. They selected three that were most similar in square footage, number of rooms, number of employees and number of parking spaces that were functioning well.

The HOA provided a map stating that the HOA has the authority to give permission for the limited common area and the property owner has the right of ingress and egress. There were conditions required for pick up and drop off of children to have that be on the main private road, not in the driveway. The letter also provided a legal opinion from an attorney that the HOA can mandate who has use of the driveway. The applicant was hoping that the HOA approval would suffice and that they
March 2, 2017 ~ Planning Commission Minutes Page 8 of 18 would no longer need additional approval from the adjacent property owner. Jessica Rasmussen (applicant) reported that there was an HOA approval letter and a letter from the lawyer, as well. David Watts, Rosecrest Village HOA explained that the area platted shows language for limited use common area noting that the HOA has complete control, right and access for who can use that property.

Commissioner Adam Jacobson suggested that staff could receive the updated and clarified letter. Commissioner Adam Jacobson MOVED to recommend approval of the item.

The license would be for the approved gas station off 5600 S and Main Street. The off premise beer license is a permitted use with conditions placed to mitigate any detrimental effects. The applicant provided a layout of the store and a write up to show how they meet the criteria for the conditional use. Emails had been received for the item. Additional requirements are placed on the applicant by the state for hours of alcohol sales and who they can sell alcohol to. Commissioner Wade Thompson asked for clarification of the off premise beer license. City Planner Bryn McCarty explained that the alcohol cannot be consumed at the gas station, it can only be consumed off site. She noted that it was similar to the requirements placed on a grocery store. Clint Smith explained that the proposal was not on for a public hearing because it was a permitted conditional use and public comment would not be received. However, comment forms would be submitted for public record. There was a request that action not be taken on the item due to other proceedings taking place within the city. He reported that there was nothing else within the city that would prohibit them from moving forward with the application. Brandon Ball (applicant) works with the Bourgeois family. He asked for clarification about moving the item to another time. The response was, no, there was information in the packet that may have made it appear that there was something to prohibit them from moving forward, however there was nothing. Mr. Ball detailed how the store cash registers are programmed to not allow a sale of alcohol outside of the restricted time frames. They would not be able to purchase alcohol before 7:00 am.

March 2, 2017 ~ Planning Commission Minutes Page 12 of 18 be 80 feet high. He explained that the property to the west and south had a forty foot elevation change which goes to 75 feet in some areas. His desire was to be higher allowing them to broadcast to the surrounding areas of the city. He reported that other antennas would be included on the tower, as well. Commission discussion.

March 2, 2017 ~ Planning Commission Minutes Page 15 of 18 8:01:46 PM City Planner Bryn McCarty oriented the commission with an aerial map, site plan and other images prepared. She noted that the intent of the applicant was to leave the zoning of A-.25 for the property and rezone the remainder of it to R-1-10. A concept plan was shown in the work meeting. Applicant did submit a rough draft estimate for concept only of what could be provided. Pictures of the property were shown. Chair Clint Smith reported that the request for R-1-10 is the only current option because the A-.25 is no longer being used in the city and an equivalent replacement has not yet been created. Jerry Walker (applicant) reported that all the people who made comments during the last meeting have smaller sized lots than what he was proposing. He outlined the densities in the surrounding subdivisions; Heritage Place has a density of 2.6, 2.4, and 3.5 with an overall density of 2.7 for the subdivision. Silver Bowl has a density of 2.6, 2.7, and 2.2 with an average density of 2.5 for the subdivision. Creek Ridge has a density of 4.2 and 4.3 with an average density of 4.3 for the subdivision. The density being proposed would be similar to what already surrounded it. He reported that having half acre lots would require him to have some quarter acres lots in order to create a good mix. The A-.25 zone would allow the area to stay part of what was surrounding it. The R-1-10 zone allows agricultural uses. His property would remain two thirds of an acre and a third of an acre would be developed. The plan was that he would continue to live on the property. He would like to have a mix of lot sizes similar to the Heritage Place subdivision, phase two. The density desired would be 2.6 or 2.7 which he felt would fit in well with the surrounding areas. Commissioner Adam Jacobson liked the concept that Mr. Walker presented and how it showed the adjoining areas and surrounding lots. Chair Smith asked for Mr. Walker to clarify whether or not his request was for the old A-.25 zone. Mr. Walker s response was that he would like to use the A-.25 original zone, not the new zone that was being discussed for that type of development. Chair Smith explained that the public hearing was previously held and closed and that he would submit Elizabeth Jones comment form for the record. Commission discussion. Commissioner Chris Berbert explained that the general plan shows the area as agricultural with a density between 1.8 and 2.5. He did not feel that the R-1-10 zone fits the general plan for the area. However he believed that something could be found to meet the needs of the area and the developer. Mr. Walker explained that the he had been waiting for two years for the city to adopt the master plan. He advised the commission that could not make him wait for a standard that isn t currently in place today. He could not wait anymore. He said that they would need to approve it with the standards the city currently has in place. Chair Smith explained that was a struggle for him, as well. There were changes made in the city with a general plan amendment that had not yet been adopted. The area was considered as the old town area and an area that the city would look to preserve with a certain look and feel. The application before the commission was based on what was currently available. He felt that R-1-10 may not be appropriate for the area, however, there were no other options available to the
March 2, 2017 ~ Planning Commission Minutes Page 16 of 18 applicant. Commissioner Adam Jacobson agreed and felt that they should make a recommendation to the council to consider a zoning condition for the area. He didn t feel that an R zone made sense. City Planner Bryn McCarty clarified that the current general plan was residential with a density of 1.8 2.5 and that the agricultural aspect was really the only difference. The commission s issue was for the density in the R-1-10 zone of 4 units per acre and that the general plan tied it to 2.5. Commissioner Adam Jacobson suggested recommending denial of the R-1-10 and request that the council consider an A-.25 with a zoning condition of 2.4 or 2.5. Commissioner Robyn Shakespear agreed and would like it as close to the requested density for the land owner. Commissioner Chris Berbert asked about moving the zone from A to R and what animal rights would be lost. City Planner Bryn McCarty explained that most animal rights were available in the R zone. The zone only eliminates large animals. Commissioner Curt Noble explained that the current general plan shows 1.8 to 2.5 and the request was for 2.5 to 2.8 and so the request was higher than the current general plan. Commissioner Adam Jacobson MOVED to recommend to the city council to deny the item with R-1-10 and consider something with an A-.25 with a zoning condition of 2.3 or 2.4 range. Commissioner Chris Berbert SECONDED the motion. 8:24:04 PM City Planner Bryn McCarty oriented the commission with a text change for the Off Street Parking ordinance. The first part of the ordinance would be for residential parking. Previously the ordinance had two spaces per unit. The proposal would be to separate out multi-family per bedroom with additional guest parking requirements. The single family or townhomes would require a two car garage for each unit, plus two paved off street spaces for each dwelling unit. Four spaces per unit for single family and townhomes. Commissioner Adam Jacobson would like to consider a requirement of guest parking in areas that do not have larger streets. City Planner Bryn McCarty suggested verbiage of, where no on street parking is allowed, provide additional guest parking. Commissioner Jacobson suggested having the requirement tied to a size of road. City Engineer Blake Thomas reported that a 32 foot road does not allow parking on one side of the road and below that size no parking would be allowed on both sides of the road. The road would need to be a 53 foot right of way to allow parking on both sides.

Citizen Comments: None 8:33:38 PM Chair Smith closed the public hearing. Commisison discussion continued. Commissioner Adam Jacobson suggested requiring that the developer show the on street parking to provide.25 guest parking spaces per unit and clarify whether or not the parking will be provided on the street or in a parking lot. If the developer uses a city standard right of way then they would not need to show the parking. If it is a private street, the developer would need to show how the parking would be achieved. He thought the language for the ordinance could be, for all private roadway cross sections the developer shall show either on street parking or additional parking to mitigate the.25 parking spaces per unit. Public roads would not be obligated to meet the requirement. Commissioner Jacobson suggested that a developer would not be able to have a townhome on a private road. City Engineer Blake Thomas clarified that Leasure Villas are on a public road and they are like a town home. Sometimes there can be a town home on a private road. Commissioner Jacobson reviewed the previous Herriman Town Center subdivison proposed to show how the applicant would have to mitigate the concern of parking if the new language were to be approved. Commissioner Adam Jacobson MOVED to recommend approval of the item to city council with additional language for on and off street parking and roadways. For all private roadway cross sections the developer shall show either on street parking or additional parking to mitigate the.25 parking spaces per unit. Public roads would not be obligated to meet the requirement. Commissioner Wade Thompson SECONDED the motion.
