City Council - Regular Meeting

I think we all know we need financing for infrastructure, but I got them to put in fair and equitable long-term statewide water infrastructure. Fair and equitable, meaning let's not have Leighton pay for other communities water. And actually, Weaver Basin Water helped me out with that. So, they appreciated the the concern. They're probably they might be in the same boat with some of their projects. Yeah. Thank you.

Another one um Ray Ward was their representative and he talked about um how the state would like some land use authority over cities to achieve some of the state's priorities. He gave an example of a a southern Davis County city about a garage that was too close to a rear lot and went through all the the legislative the administrative processes. The cities told him, "Well, we don't have any. We can't say yes because of a setback." And uh that's the example he used. I felt maybe he was talking more about ADUs or more housing units. Um so yeah just I'm sure that the league is talking about it also but um yeah state wants some of our authority

legislature by anecdote we'll just any other report you can

anything from the league you guys I know I guess I failed to mention that they you know with the National League of Cities in town was in that they had here in Salt Lake there was a special meeting and for the cities of first and second class that I attended and I was pretty clear on delivering our message regarding water and the fact that larger cities don't want to be paying for smaller cities and luckily I got uh a couple other mayors to chime in with me so it I think resonated pretty loud and um on that and then also just the land use authority brought that one up too. So I think that's on their radar which I'm sure you guys are probably hearing about that and kind of seeing what the links but again trying to emphasize our position on both. It was shared that you you articulated very clearly and positively about our thoughts and our concerns. So there's a thank you.

Well, it just goes that realistically that isn't just one of us, it's all of us singing this, you know, our song to so many people so that they can all understand it. Well, I would record on CTC, but but

I have some help tonight, so I don't have anything to share just yet. Anybody else have anything? Okay. Well, then let's go ahead and go on to our third item, which is CTC. And knowing that Dina, you're our leaison there, rather than me do the introductions, I'll turn it over to you.

Cool. Well, I'd like to welcome Tiffany Lanning to the table. Tiffany's our coordinator for Leon Community Care and um she's been doing a great job. She's going to provide a presentation, just an overview of what we've done um this year. I know I talk about it every meeting. So, um, but I wanted to have Tiffany come and share and then she can also introduce our other commits who are here. Um, but she'll share what we've been doing over the year with communities that care and um, any questions you all have afterwards. Happy to talk through those.

Yeah. I'll see her now. This is Jen Meyer. She's our program manager. Um, so she just helps with all the community classes. She's the one that kind of oversees that piece for me and she's great. I love that she's down. But Tina will tell you I never stand in meetings anymore.

Um, so super excited to be here and I actually really enjoyed pulling photos and really being able to look back at everything we've done. Um, I will say I'm still fairly new to this role, so I came in March. Um, but it was really fun to see like in that short of time and then also working with the previous coordinator, Megan, to figure out what was done um, between January and then, but it's been like a year. So, Matina talks a lot about CTC and we love her for it. Um, but really I just want to point out like the CTC is really comprised of parents, educators, we have first responders, healthc care, public health people, we've got grandparents, neighbors, social workers, city council, rel religious leaders. Um, one of my favorite parts about the CTC is all of the different people that get to come to the table and the people that we get to work with. Um, it's it's a really fun group of people. So tonight, I really just want to go over some of our highlights. So 2025 highlights that we're going to be looking at is things that we've learned, ways that we've served, some of the um education opportunities that we've done through our classes, some of the partnerships we've been able to establish, and then what we're looking forward to in 2026. So the CTC is really good about investing their time in learning together. So, we're constantly exploring best practices, trying to stay up on emerging policies and research, and really just trying to find better ways to help support youth in our community. So, one that one event that they get to go to every year is the Bryce Canyon Prevention Summit. Um, this is in the beautiful

Bryce Canyon. I was so happy to be able to go this year. Um, and some of the key takeaways that we got to learn, we talked with Roxson Nielson, who is a former PRCA rodeo. Um, he did bearback riding and he shared his story of getting in an accident um, one night during the rodeo, broke his back, became paralyzed um, and was given 5% chance that he'd ever walk again. and he shared his story of overcoming that hardship and how he is now even though he's unable to feel his legs still he is now up and walking and he gets to go around the state and talk to youth about how to overcome challenges and his main focus is how can we become 1% better every day so then after this conference I ch I kind of took that on with the CTC how does the CTC become 1% better every day so that we can help the community become 1% better every day um some of the other things we got to learn about were positive adult experiences. Some of you may have heard of like positive childhood experiences um and how we kind of offset some of the aces, but positive adult experiences are just as important. And it was a good reminder that connection matters for grown-ups, too. Um and then we talked about taking invisible vulnerabilities and making them obvious to everyone through compassion, visibility, and action. We did a lot of listening to our community. We find community voices so important and so we have been able to do key informant interviews with staff from Blaton and Northridge High School, Mountain View Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, and we even talked with the family advocate from South Liber, which was really, really exciting. I know

progress.

Yes, we're making we're making some movement. I'm really excited. Um, we also got feedback from Head Start, Open Doors, the health department, and we're currently we got stuff from the Davis Behavioral Health School based therapists to see kind of we really want to understand what are we seeing as far as substance use with kiddos in our community. Um, we're also currently in the middle of collecting data from some of the SRO's and the um, school admin has been sent out. Um, and all this data is going to inform the strategies that we're hoping to implement in 2026. We also got to do a tour of the Teen Living Center. This was back in the summer. And so, we got to meet with our director and we really just learned what it's like for youth that live there. Who are they seeing come through the doors? What are some of the experiences they're coming with? And what do they want the community to know? How can we show up as a community and help these kids? Um, and that was a really cool patina, were you at that one?

Do you want to There's not much pictures, but yeah. Speak to something you learned. Um, well, I actually been there already. So, I I didn't learn a lot at this set couple of times.

But, um, one thing that I think is important is the director made sure that we understood that the youth that are living there, all of them, they function as a family. And so they they make meals together. They have time where they can do things together. There's games. It's it's to make sure that they feel like they have a home and it's a place for them to be. And so um they invite community members and organizations to help out with things like that. Um there are volunteer groups who want to help with dinner, teaching them how to make a particular item or whatnot because they do all of that. They're they cook, they have schedules like you know. So I think um it's important for people to know that it's their home.

You know, it's not just like this facility, but it's their elaborate a little bit more on where they're going with that. Yeah.

I'm sure you guys are aware that that you know the model on the teen living center was to also help them stand up and be self- sustaining. So, they are in the process of um setting up their own um secondhand shop that will right now they're looking at uh over in the Ride a shopping area, the old Ride A building. So, they need to find fixtures and stuff like that so they can you start receiving goods and be able to kind of stand that up. And then that the kids will help run that and the funding from that will help pay for the resource center. So I mean that's where it comes full circle on how valuable that resource center is is not only a place for the kids to live feel like it's home to teach them good working habits and then also so that the living center becomes self- sustaining as well

the lease right now it's uh funded well it was privately funded and then the Davis Education Foundation it's all Davis Education Foundation or are you talking the least on the uh switch point switch points heavily involved in all the it's not that's not cheap. No, that's why once they get that going, we need to, you know, I think as a governing body, we need to help get that word out so we can help support those kids, but they're not they're not there yet, but they're soon. Okay. Sorry, I didn't mean to. No, you're that's part of what the communities that care is all about.

Yeah. No, that's really exciting. and Adrian was really good to kind of walk us through like what their schedule looks like, how the the kids that are there get referred by the schools. So, they have a partnership with the school and I think at the time she said they had what three graduate that spring, three or four had graduated in the spring um and were going on to to college and all three of them got those scholarships.

Yeah. So, we're doing some really good work. Um, we were able to host prevention week. So, this was a 3-day event. Um, Monday night we did family dinner night. So, we had a magician come out. This was countywide. Um, so all four of the CTC's pitched in, but we really wanted to create a space that families could come together and have like just enjoy time together. um really honing in on the idea that um family dinner is extremely important in preventing substance use. Um then some of our workshops that we got to do, we were teaching people about brain development. Um a little bit about screen time. What does screen time look like? How is it affecting school grades? How is it affecting um their sleep patterns? We talked some about social harms and then we did some developing relationships and resilience and that was um in partnership also with USU extension.

So this was just some of our prevention week. This is family dinner night. Um I think we when we counted we had roughly three yeah 320 something people come through um from all across the county. So that was

really fun. So, this was at Pioneer Park in Cisville. Um, we wanted to pick something centrally located for everybody. Um, and then we were able to do raffles that we handed out family bonding baskets where it just had a bunch of board games that families could win and take home. We had a magician who is also does some prevention stuff. So, he came and did a magic show with all the kiddos. Um, just really tried to make it a fun night. And then the following two days were the half day workshops. Do you remember his name? I was going to look it up. Brett I will find it. He's from Leighton originally. He lives in Idaho now. What was it last? Oh, he lives in I don't know. I don't know.

I will find out. Brad. Yeah, he is awesome. That is correct. My kids thought he was, you know, he was really magic. Yeah, probably was. cute turning water into like marbles like heart and kids were blown away. It was so cute. You would hand them the mark. They got to keep the frozen the magical water.

Um something else that we got to do, we were able to join the Leighton City 911 day of service. And so the coalition decided that they wanted to do the Vietnam wall and rumblings have recently been confirmed. This is something they want to do annually. Um they really enjoyed that channel. So this will be something that we will continue every year coming back and being able to engage in the service project. So these are classes. So this is these are the classes that um Jen helps us run. So, we were able to do the two classes that we offer most um through the CTC is the circle of security parenting class and the strengthening families class. And both of them are for families. The strengthening families has a teen component as well. But it's really about teaching family connection, family attachment, boundaries, some so some good parenting classes. We were able to teach five classes and 10 workshops and we served a total of 285 individuals in those. So our strengthening families class um some of the outcomes that we have seen adult participants who completed the course saw a 42% increase in conflict resolution skills and a 15% increase in family bonding. Um, and one of our uh participants said to have family meetings and to cool down before confronting my youth with misbehavior, something that they learned. And then our youth participants also responded and they said they saw a 5% increase in conflict resolution skills and 10% increase in individual skills. Um, and these teams were 10 to 14. Um, and then one of the top things that was said was they learned how to handle peer pressure and the program taught them the steps that they can use when someone's

pressuring them to do something that they know they shouldn't. We also have this class in Spanish. And so our Latino group, the adults saw a 74% increase in conflict resolution skills and 40% increase in family bonding. um they learn to better be able to better communicate and have little patience to improve have a little more patience to improve their relationships at home. And then the youth reported seeing a 13% increase in conflict resolution skills and 18% increase in individual skills. And they learned how um the importance of respect in the family um knowing how to say no when someone's trying to pressure them into something they don't want to do. And this cute kiddo said that he learned to appreciate what his mom does for him. Um, which is a big deal. So, at our circle security parenting class, this is focused more on kiddos nine and under. Um, so our English class, we saw 41% decrease in feelings of high stress about parenting. Um, and we heard that they like the opportunity to think further about the way they parent. Um, it was helpful to take the class with a spouse so they could have shared language on their parenting techniques. Um, and then our Spanish class had a 38% decrease in feelings of high stress about parenting and they were able to identify parenting factors that they hadn't noticed in themselves before and then be able to implement um, new strategies within their home. Um, they also liked that the class was made a safe space where they felt like they could talk with other parents and without being judged and that they would listen to. So then these workshops are 90-minute workshops are um, everyday strong is the top one. Um, so that really talks it takes um, Maza's hierarchy of needs and

applies it to emotional wellness. And then nurturing healthy relationships. We also sometimes call the social development strategy. And that's all about how when we give kids teach kids a skill, give them an opportunity to use that skill and then reward them for that skill. Um they're more likely to have healthier outcomes. So this is one that we teach to a lot of uh we teach it to parents, but we were able to take it to the schools for the community schools program. So we taught a lot of teachers. So, we were able to do two everyday strong workshops and eight of our SCS workshops. So, then some of the partnerships that we got to do, um, Leighton Hills Mall has been a great partner to us this year for the classes, the um, strengthening families and circle security parenting class. Those are seven and eightweek classes. So, it's a pretty significant time commitment for these families. And so to show that we appreciate that they came and that they spent the time, we give out a graduation gift. And so we were able to partner with Leighton Hills Mall to create bonding baskets. So we went in and their marketing director um worked with some of the stores in the mall and was able to get us free games, like free board games, and then we got 80 admit one passes to the Leon Aquarium so that families can take their kiddos to have an experience at the aquarium. Um, we partnered with my hometown Leighton and the community resource center. We were able to go teach some of our workshops there and that's a partnership that we're looking forward to continuing and trying to get some of our longer classes into.

Um, obviously working with Leighton City has been great. um we got to partner with the school district and we were able to help support the um community schools program and then we also worked with Utah PTA um to really get uh some help with Red Ribbon Week and how can we support PTA efforts and use that partnership to get into the schools. So the community schools we were able to reach, this is countywide, we reached 755 students from 14 title one elementary schools and I believe two or three of them were in Leighton City. Um they focused on literacy, STEM, character and life skills. They got to go on field trips and site selected learning activities. And then we have there was so much good feedback that was really hard to pick on. So I encourage you to look at the report. Um, but one of the biggest and something we I feel like this quote kind of encapsulates all of what we heard. Um, the impact summer camp has had on my family is knowing that my children are cared for when I can't be there. It helped our family be able to work and be home with them in the afternoon and nights. Our family would not be able to function and work a normal job without a safe space that summer camp provides. It ensured my child got meals and helped keep a schedule for my kids. Um, so that was a really awesome program that we got to do. my hometown Leight and we were able to attend their opening night of the community resource center and they had a little over 300 people rotate through that night. Um, and then we were able to teach workshops in English and Spanish during the first semester open. Um, and we're currently in the works of figuring out how we can take some of our other classes to them as well. Um, some more pictures from our day of service. Um, I keep hearing this get brought up in several spaces. So, yeah, super excited about that. Um, so this is

just our bonding basket. So, Go Games and Clayton Aquarium were able to donate games, coupons, and free admission passes to families. Um, so it really helps families be able to practice what they learn in class. And then looking to the future, um, our 2025 SHARP results should be here soon. I hear rumblings in the next couple weeks. Um, so we're going to take our sharp results. We'll update our logic model, our action plan. Um, we're looking at launching a countywide parent survey to figure out what what are parents interested in, what are they ready to learn about. Um, we have a brain science campaign that we'll be launching next year. And then we're going to continue to build and strengthen partnerships. Um, and then continuing to find ways to help make our community 1% better every day. And then that is my contact. But Tina also knows how to get a hold of me. Um, we also have a quarterly newsletter. Um, which I wish I brought with me. Um, it really just kind of we do a CTC member spotlight and then it that's a really good place to find out what we're up to, what we've been doing. We do quarterly highlights, so a good way to kind of keep a touch point on all through CTC. Okay, that was very good. You guys have any questions on this? I mean, it's good report. It's good to see how much you've done and glad you're there.

Thanks. Happy to be here. I know your past history and what you did for the county. So this is great to have your addition here focused with with Leon City. Yeah, I do appreciate that. I was just telling Clint that I remember Don was sitting in spot at Tyson sitting in she was really adamant like 2020 I think it was. Y we've got to do communities of care. We've got to do communities of care and we were just like go for it.

Yeah. You want to we'll support you if that's what you want to do. And so I was just counting all the numbers of people who have been supported. And I just I just feel like sometimes it's easy to sit back and let other people do stuff and think, "Oh, the community will take care of it or private industry will take care of it." Sometimes it's just like she just decided there's a there's something we can do here to make life in the city better. And I just all those people that were benefited from kind of her pushing that. Uh it's just cool to see that was, you know, five five years ago. So thank you for helping people out. It's it's It's really good service. It is. And thank you, Patina. Yeah.

Representative Metro has been great. Yes. I was part of that initial push. New York got reelected. There may have been a small party of the office. I appreciate that. We had the support of the city too that could see the vision here. Thanks to you. All right. Well, thank you. Appreciate it. Thanks. Thank you very much. Jennifer Jenn.

Okay. Next up, um, looks like, uh, Meer M. Chief Mon, assistant, temporary chief. I don't know. Whatever we Whatever. No, we we appreciate you taking the helm right now and really leading leading the task. making sure that we're well cared for. So, I'll turn the time over to you and I guess Gavin as well, right? Yeah. Thank you. Thank you, mayor, for letting us be here tonight. Um, here my hometown.

All right. Very good. Um, sorry to inundate you with fire personnel tonight. Um, but, uh, I wanted to bring a few extra people here tonight to just we've got new roles that we're filling as as we're as we're as we're working through this. Um this presentation was put together by Gavin uh deputy fire marshal Gavin Moffett and um our our captain Brent McFarland who's our emergency manager. Um you know you guys all know Doug and I've also brought Battalion Chief Nat. Um in two weeks when we come back um I will be out of town and he will be the one helping ramrod this or uh ramrod the effort to get this through. Let's put that a different way. Let's try let's let me back that up. Let me

you heard me talk to start out. So, don't worry about it. Um, so, uh, what we're here to do talk to you about is give you some information on some amendments to the, uh, code, the city code that we need to do, uh, we need to suggest to you, um, give you the information on it, let you decide, uh, you know, how we're going to do this and where we're going. U,, Gavin's got this information. A lot of this came from a state legislator law. The state leger passed House Bill 48, which requires us to change a few things with the WOOI and CWP and CWS, which are all the acronyms that are that are on your papers. We're going to teach you a little bit about those tonight. Um, and I promise we won't use those anymore. We'll actually use

That's a good Now, see, we'll remember WOOI or wildland. Yeah, wildland urban interface. So, um I'm going to just turn the time over to Gavin, let him take you through the presentation real quick, what our recommendations are going to be and and why why we need to do what we need to do and then um we'll be here for any questions that you have. Okay. Thank you.

All right. So, essentially the ordinance we're recommending will do two things. Uh the first one is we it will adopt the 2006 Utah wildland interface code. We currently have adopted the 2006 international wildland interface code, but they're they're different codes. And this year, House Bill 48, they came out and said, "Okay, if you're going to participate in any of these state programs, you must adopt the Utah Wildland Urban Interface Code." So, that's part one of this ordinance. The second part is it will also affect where fireworks are restricted, and that's to avoid a conflict within the code. Uh in the Louis code it actually says that you shall not use or possess fireworks in any wildland urban interface area. So this is our chance to amend that map and so we don't have any conflicting ordinances. Essentially what we're trying to do here uh the reason why this all matters is the city participates in what's called the cooperative wildfire system. The cooperative wildfire system is think of as an insurance policy. The state says that if you as a city do any everything you can to mitigate risk. So you're going to do that through prevention methods. So classes, open houses, preparedness, firefighter training, and then mitigation where people actually go out there and remove fuel and harden their homes from wildfire. If you need to delegate a fire that's out of your that's out of control from initial attack, then they will cover the cost of it. So in order to participate in this, the city has to do a few things. Uh we al we obviously have a primary responsibility for initial attack. Initial attack is we're the first ones that will be dispatched to a fire. We will do everything we can to stop that fire and make it keep it as small as possible. If not, we'll delegate it to the state. We have to implement a community wildfire preparedness plan. We've had one for

about 15 years. Essentially, it's just our our game plan on how we are going to do all those things. That's how we're going to it's a plan for how we're going to mitigate where we're going to do that, what types of projects we're going to do in the community, how we're going to train. Uh we just went through the update for our newest one that will carry us five more years this month. So, we're just wrapping that up. Uh the state provides us with an annual participation commitment statement. So that's where they take our total risk and they say, "Okay, you need to match x amount of dollars." Um, so last year was around $7,600. We accounted for and reported over $28,000. What I think is important about these numbers is that 28,000 wasn't anything that the city we didn't have to put a ton of extra fine finances into it. It was stuff that we were already doing. We were already training. We were already doing classes. We were doing a lot of this stuff already. Uh this year we we had to pay for about a dumpster that cost us about $500 to to uh help a community get rid of a bunch of wildland fire risk waste. So they were doing stuff to harden their homes.

I think it's important to note also part of that aggregate forward is that the community members that serve actually the hours they donate labor goes into that also. Yeah. Just like they spoke earlier about our 911 project. I know that's where we get a lot of help, a lot of folks. We want to say thank you to all of our residents that step up and help us on that because that helps with this whole program.

Yeah. Uh the city has a responsibility to actually try to re to get reimbured from any sort of fire. So, uh on a fire investigation unit, it's four fire investigators and then two police detectives. If somebody negligently causes a fire or intentionally causes a fire, we will go we'll try to find out who it was. We will go after them and then the city will try to recoup the the cost of the cost of the fires from them. Um we have to adopt a adopt and enforce a WOOI code which is what we're trying to do tonight. So, we we've already had the International Wildland Urban Interface Code in, but we need to change it to the Utah Wildland Urban Interface Code to be compliant with new program rules that were passed in House Bill 48 this year.

And that's not a typo. It is the actual 2006 that really on top of things. Yeah, it's a lateral move. You can't get more local and then because fire is really old. Yeah, it's been around a while.

We also have to adopt a wildland urban interface map. So that map is essentially where we would want this wildland urban interface code to apply to. So, I'll show you. Let me go ahead and show you the what we currently have. So, this is our current wildland urban interface area. It's it's pretty large. And with us having to make some of these changes anyways, we felt now's the time for us to let's make this make sense. There's been a lot of development in a lot of these areas, things have changed. So, we wanted to make sure that this code applied to the people that it needed to apply to. So, we sat down with the county fire warden. We use state wildfire risk data. Uh we had emergency management input onto it. Firefighter firefighting operations chiefs involved in this. And then then the fire marshals and the fire prevention side. Look at this map. And this is what we are proposing the map now look like. So we're shrinking some of it down. So any anywhere in that like brown tint is that's where the new wild down interface coat will apply to. And we did this based off of all that data and then just like experience out there doing severity assessments, fire history. So this is what we believe to be the what makes the most sense currently. It takes the amount of um households from the current current WOOI area from 5,242 down to 3,49. So, it's affecting less people. And you know, when you talk about fireworks, that's one thing, but when you talk about somebody who wants to do improvements to their house, that means a lot to them that they don't have to follow the WOOI code if they don't actually live somewhere next to a WOOI area. So, we're shrinking that down a little bit.

Yeah. the the WOOI code essentially it it it's like a mix between a land use code and then a building code. So there has some stuff that you can't you just can't do in these areas like fireworks and there's also some things that they say okay this is what you have to do to your home if you're in these areas and so in order for us to participate in this state program that will allow us to defer costs on we have to enforce this code. So now going forward, if you if you have in addition to your home, if you build a home here, you'll have to comply with this WOOI code. It's it's not as bad as you would as you think. The the code's available. We can get it to any of you that would like to see. What are some of the things that have to do?

Um so depending on So the process is is if you decide that you're going to, let's say, build a new home in the city and you fall in this area, we have to go out there and do a severity assessment. So, there's a scoring sheet at the very end of the WOOI code that we literally just go down and it talks about it says, "Okay, what type of roof are you putting on?

Um, you know, how much defensible space, how much clear area around your home do you actually have? What type of building materials are you going to use?" And depending on where you score, if you score really high, it could be as as much as, you know, you need to put a fire resistive wall on your home. If you score really low, it could be just as simple as, okay, you you know, you have to put some some mesh coverings over the over the vents of your attic to prevent embers from getting in. It's just it's various stuff like that. All right. Now, we can get you guys a code if you'd like to see it for sure. Now, I just I know we'll probably get baskets. Good to know.

The the island in the middle, what's I mean, I see conflicts potentially happening with Oh, my neighbors can set off fireworks, but I can't. So we went So the island in the middle is basically Oakidge or Oak Forest subdivision. Um East Lake or not East Lake Elementary Sarah Jane Adams Elementary. We we actually went down the lot lines of some of these roads. So if you live on Sunset Drive, instead of going down the middle of Sunset Drive and somebody on the one side can do it, but somebody on the other side, you know, if so instead of just being on the north side of Sunset Drive where they're actually touching the the, you know, where the the stuff goes down the hill,

the people on the other side can still shoot the fireworks out in the middle of the street, but that could still cause a problem. So, we we determined we made the we're making the recommendation that we just take the homes on Sunset Drive and we went down the back their back lot lines. And so, people that live interior a little bit further away are there's still not going to be any aerials here, but they can't Well, and we'll we'll pull up that map in just a second. There's still not going to be any aerials here at all, but they can shoot the ground ones. They can do fountains. If you live on Sunset Drive, that's for an example. You can't do the fountains. It's a It's a complete stop. Okay. So, I'll show you the There's the current firework map.

So, red's totally restricted. This orange color is where the aerials are restricted. And then to be so we don't have that conflict. Anything in red, which is just wild that urban interface area will be totally restricted for fireworks. I think it's it's it's important that if we don't make changes to it, then essentially if we don't amend where the WOOI area is, all of this will the moment we pass the WOI code, we'll become totally restricted. So we're we're trying to make it make more sense and say this code should affect the people that it it should affect essentially.

I can't read it, but that's Fairfield Road, isn't it? That's Fairfield. Yes. to to church. Yes. Okay. We're not changing the aerial restrictions from what we did last year because last year was the first year that we moved it down to Fairfield all the way across the city except for when then you get to church and then it curves up church all the way to 193 and then you know cuts back over there to the base. So west west of church is still can they can still shoot if they want to. It does not affect the that means we can go to Clint. Come on over. So, but that but yes, we we went back and forth on that, Councilman Roberts, about the neighbors being able to shoot, but I can't. That's crazy.

We're trying to do what makes sense and not without wiping the entire subdivision and that entire area out for that because, you know, Yeah, that was a biggie last year. Thank you. Yeah. Any other questions about any of these, the code, fireworks restrictions, the map? I think it's really good too on the, if you will, the scapple line will be put where this is a future possibly Gordon Market Center

that it's outside of the Wildland urban interface for the simple fact that a lot of the uh commercialized type of businesses that be there might have final membrane roofs where probably unachievable if there's in the wildland urban interface. And um so we thought it was a good good move also to keep that open without wildland urban interface requirements.

If it if we felt that it needed to be in there, we would have put it in there. But it's it's far enough it's far enough north of Gentile where where Homestick Reservoir is. and it's far enough west of 89 where we have those problems that I I didn't I did not think that that would be a risk for that. One of the things Gavin did also uh we work closely with the division of national natural resources and there's representatives there that's kind of making their map of severities and everything and we bounced this off of them and they thought this is a good representation for your city. So they had high confidence in that. That was who was that? Joseph Anderson.

No, Joseph Anderson with DNR. So we don't have any control on the mountain above above the above the beyond your red line. That that that is that is either county area or or national for state or national forest that's covered under a different foration. What what this what this CWS because we participated in the CWS, the cooperative waterfall system, right? Um the Snow Canyon fire of 2006 was started at that very last house at the top of Snow Canyon Road up there before those other ones went up the hill. Right. Right.

The three of us were on the engine company as we pulled into that and watched it go over the hill on us. Right. So it started in Lake City. all of those had we not been a participant in that type of thing, all of that firefighting efforts that happened that night would have come back to us even though it raced up the hill into the forest, right? Um and so that's one of the reasons we choose to participate in the CWS. And so if we bring in an aircraft or uh helicopters or something like that, those things drop at about a $3,000 a drop rate. The hel the aircraft are even higher than that. These areas like where we had our fire by Leighton Christian Academy, right?

Those these areas west of 89 scare the operations people more than the stuff east of 89 because if it gets up above the the houses and moves up the mountain, yeah, great. That's not our problem until about 2 a.m. when the winds come and turn it around and come back at us. But it's these ones that are down in Case Creek, Oak Lane, you know, Summerwood that if it gets going down in there, it's going to go both sides and it's we're going to be there a bit. Okay. Now, I'm under the impression this goes back almost too far. Do we have like 200 acres on the side of the mountain? That's just wild. The city.

The city. There was always talk about putting a park and I I never knew where they were talking about. We don't have anywhere. Okay. The only thing we have is where the water t water tank is, right? Yeah. No, it was up above above that. Yeah. So, look at the map. Okay. That's our boundaries, right? I assume that's what that was. Those are our boundaries right there. Okay. All right. Any other questions?

I I just need a clarification really quickly. So, the legislature is requiring that we be a part of this. I wanted to say that. Um

I know that's now I remember. But in doing so, anything that is within that is also a part of the um fireworks restriction and that's all a part of these ordinances or is that something that we're adding on? So if if if we if we choose to be do the CWS be part of that then we have to follow House Bill 48 and adopt a WOOI map a wildland interface map and inside and part of the code inside the 2006 uh wildlander interface code there will be zero fireworks I don't know exactly how it reads you can read it right off for you no fireworks inside the WOOI so no aerials no ground or anything that's in the code. Okay.

We we we we we spoke with uh legal about some things and talked about well can we amend that out and the recommendation is is we can make it tougher but we can't make it less restrictive and by taking that out that makes it less restrictive and we can't do that. So that's so if we choose to participate in the CWS which we highly recommend that we do um we have to do this. Okay. Thank you. Okay. And we can amend the map if you want to. This is just our recommendation what we're trying to do because we this is where we think we're going to have the problems if we have them. Is there a you'll satisfy one like a time

we have to uh January 1st. Okay. I know one of the complaints we got is now in the yellow area. So that might there was a question and I'm sorry I don't Mike okay you talked about what about west of highway 177 all right to the best of my knowledge that's county area out there everything out there is county so it doesn't fall within our city we are but but that fragmitey out there and the duck and the duck the duck preserve and stuff like that that poses a pretty good

it poses a pretty good fire hazard but there's not a lot structures out there to go after, but that's a county area, not a city area. Now, we'll still go out there and have to do it, but if something starts in the county and pushes that way, that's going to be on a Davis County. If something starts in the city and jumps 177, I just don't I don't see a lot of wild interface out there until you get out to the frag or into the duck marsh. Again, it's not typical wild interface, but it burns like gasoline, so it's good. But we did we did look at that. We just we didn't feel like we needed to put something out there because most of that is county. Not all that. Okay. I think we're good. Okay. Anything else? That's it.

Okay. Well, thank you gentlemen for being here. Appreciate your your support like I said and everything you do day in and day out for us. Huge. Please reach out if you have questions. Okay. All right. Let's go on to item number five. um Brad Marath present and you're gonna do it in the sub meeting. Very good. Hey Brad, you get to talk about Stevenson's field subdivision.

All righty. Thank you. Um I'll try to be brief on this so that way I can give you time to answer to ask some questions. Um so as you know this is a annexation reszone request also with a development agreement. So you've got the ordinances and a resolution tied to it. This is the general area if you're not already familiar uh with it in the city. So this is the overall area that's being requested for the reszone from RS and unincorporated area to R110 PRUD. And you can see that overall area and then the area here is just the annexed area. Everything else is already incorporated into Leighton City. And so this is just an overview. It's 58.428 acres that are being annexed into the city. Um 5.47 47 acres of of that are part of our city regional storm water detention basin and our annexation policy um requires that we don't have any islands. So those the the city owned property is being annexed into the city and then it's also being um reszoned. The request is to reszone the city properties to match the the zoning that's around it. Um it's important to note um that the area that is uh outlined there where the city detention basin is that's not to be used at all for the uh open space uh requirements of the development or for the density requirements. So all the open space and everything is exclusive of the city-owned properties. Um this is just an overview of their concept. So you've got 335 residential units. Uh 92 and 170. These are all single family. So these are frontloaded. So, traditional single family front loaded lots. The 170 are rear loaded lots and then you've got 73 town homes. The 73 town homes does fall within the maximum amount of 30% uh of density of the units that can be attached within the uh PRUD. It's only 21.8% of the um amount that they could have. And then because the this area is located in the a heritage overlay in the general plan,

it requires that they have to provide 20% open space. If it wasn't in that a heritage area, it would be a smaller percentage of open space. And the project is providing 22.6%. Um, as part of the A heritage overlay, it allows up to a maximum density of 4.9 units to the acre and they're at 4.89. Here's the overall concept plan. You can see the different networks of streets. The way the reason that the streets have been laid out this way are one the corridor um the power line corridor as well as providing enough streets to provide connectivity um for vehic for vehicles as well as pedestrians um allows traffic to flow better throughout the neighborhood um and also the connections that you could see to the adjacent neighborhoods. Um this gives some neighborhood context to the overall area and just kind of shows you how this would fit into the rest of the area um um here in Westlon. Uh so you do have a PR, the Harmony uh place PR that's over here. Um that was all part of our previous PUD ordinance. Um and so some of the things that we see here um are areas that are counted towards open space that we don't count for open space nowadays.

Open space has to be usable open space. So there's areas here. So this is brown uh uh on the plan. So I have to go back to the concept plan. These are areas that in Harmony Place, those would have counted as open space. We don't count those as open space anymore. It has to be a minimum of 18 ft wide and has to be an active recreational area to be considered open space. And they've done a really good job at providing a network of open spaces throughout this whole thing. Um just kind of a side note as I was preparing for the meeting tonight looking at some of our parks and open spaces. Um so they're providing a total of um 15 acres of open space here which is the 22.6% of their project. The 15 acres um is greater than any of our parks except for Ellison Park and Leighton Commons Park. And so that's if you were to add that all together that's essentially creating together uh another park um in this just as in this subdivision. These are the amenities that they're proposing to provide within this development. So, five developed parks, which that that includes playground structures. There's two areas that are identified as either developed parks or dog parks. They're still assessing how they would address that and and which way they want to go um that route uh that way. And then you can see there's other uh picnic areas and outdoor recreation area and then an interconnected trail system which I think is really uh important and adds to the livability of this area that you can get throughout the development on the trail system as well as the dedication of the power um line corridor trail. Uh that is the only part that will be of the city detention basin that will be touched by this project um and will be an enhancement just not to this development but for this whole area. Um, one thing that's interesting about the development agreement for this project is it includes a pattern book. The pattern book outlines lot type conditions, architectural styles, and design standards. You can see here attached single family, narrow lot, and

also uh the um large lot single family. And I'll go through some examples here. This is what this is just some of the pages from there. So, because the majority of the subdivision is the the alley loaded uh single family homes, this is what each for each one of those uh home types, there's pages that look just like this. So, these are all essentially the setbacks, the allowable projections, garage requirements and encroachments, driveway requirements, dimensions for porches. And if they don't provide a porch, there's an alternative that they could uh provide, which would be a patio uh which would have to be the same uh same size and area um as what you would get from a porch that that our code requires. These are the four architectural styles. You got arts and crafts, colonial revival, farmhouse, and English romantic. Those styles were all selected by destination homes based upon research that they they did in with Leighton City as well as Davis County and just what some of the historical um housing types and architectural patterns have been that they felt would really complement the a heritage area. Again, this just shows like the masking and composition of all of the buildings based upon the type of um architectural style that they choose. You also get into details that we wouldn't normally otherwise get into when it comes to windows and trims as well as like the types of roof columns and or the roof elements, cladding and and columns that you might have. Um, this was something that came up in some concerns from the public before the planning commission meeting. So, we and it was already provided in the staff report what the the analysis that we did for parking. You can see that the areas highlighted in red are all areas that they're providing visitor parking. All of the homes, including the town homes, will have two-car garages. Um, and those all comply with our city standards. And then going back to the conceptual site plan, again, some you do have some connections here to the south with those uh neighborhoods. You've got some future connections in case any of the property

to the east develops. And then you have three connections provided here to 2200 West. Uh, one really great improvement that we're having along 2200 West with this development is that right now 2200 West in the areas where it's not developed on either side only has an asphalt width of about 20 ft wide. On the the east side of 2200 West, that will add an additional 12 ft of asphalt. And that that's not that doesn't include the curb gutter and sidewalk. So that east truck the east uh the north travel lane there will be a lot wider and when property develops on the west then we'll be able to get the full improvement of that collector street which it's supposed to have a 42 foot asphalt width um as a collector street. There's also a stub here uh for this property in the future if they decide to develop. Um and then there are some concerns just with uh the neighborhoods to the south. One thing that we noticed is that this provides better connect pedestrian connections from the neighborhoods to the south to the school that's further to the west. Um so yeah, with that I'm happy to answer any questions that you might have. Try to be brief so you can ask some questions.

Name the streets that that connects into those neighborhoods to the south.

Yeah. So right now this is labeled collector street A, but it will probably be Alberta Spruce. Just a connection a continuation of Alberta Spruce. What's nice about this is that this does provide a direct connection to uh Gentile Street. It's it's a pretty straight connection as you can see here mostly because um you know one to provide ex the access points throughout the development. Um and also you've got the different you've got this street here and and this street here. They need to have a separation between them. See how it's kind of similar between uh these streets the same width as as it is to 2200 West. The the the distances between blocks is really important uh for safety. Um and then um as part of this that there's this chicane or you know this kind of curve of the road here as it goes down to Alberta Spruce that's been primarily to address the the need to have access from um J&J and also some of the trees that they also have down in this area. But it it was also an engineering uh thing that our engine our public works staff required that this does curve a little bit to help slow traffic as you go from one from the north to the south. This is also a stub road. Um some questions were brought up in the planning commission meeting of why we had the stub roads and was it necessary? We were we were able to, you know, satisfactoryy answer that by, you know, talking about the the pedestrian, the vehicular connections, but also it helps us loop our utilities so that way the water quality and and utility access is better. And then also there there's more access points for emergency response. Can you explain how the a heritage overlay comes into effect with this?

Yeah. Is this is the is that the Meldrum property? Is that part that's not part of the develop?

It's not. Yeah. The Meldrums for right now they don't want to develop and so this does kind of go around it but it does there's a stub there. the a heritage overlay um thought it was really interesting that in the general plan essentially that was developed recognizing that we've got these areas in Westlon that have historically had agricultural purposes and that as subdivisions have happened we've begin to lo lose that open space area and so with the a heritage overlay it requires that if there's not going to be a farm there the idea is that we preserve more open space um by clustering housing units and having a greater requirement of open space And so because of the a heritage overlay, we get more open space being provided throughout this PRUD than we would uh otherwise. Uh the general plan also talks about the the use of the PRUD ordinance specifically to provide open spaces to meet the intent of the a heritage overlay. Um the general plan also talks about there's there's opportunities where people could do some neighborhood agriculture, but it's not again required. It's just something that is an option by providing those spaces.

That's the way I understood it was there'd be an agriculture component to it. That's but more open space is good. Yep. Yeah. Yeah, we recognized that as I went through the general plan and read it recognized that that as we did the general plan that there's not the mandate to pe for people to have a farm or to or to that these that these neighborhoods have to with their HOA come up with like some sort of a area, but they could um within their open space that they're providing. So down the road then the HOA would determine if they want to convert any of that ground to a or not. Right.

For sure. Yep. Yeah. And there's definitely some areas you can see with with how large some of these areas are, you could definitely have some small neighborhood agricultural plots. They'll be developed though. Yeah. As of right now, the plan is is that they would these different areas would have parks and open and trail systems. But some of these areas aren't going to have um you know a whole there'll still be green space like grass areas where they could run around. So in the future if they decided that they wanted to convert that grass into No, that they have to develop it. Yes. Correct.

So when um destination came and talked to us and they were introducing these pattern books um and they talked about this as a concept at the time I think um they did mention that that there was this community gardening or farming component. Is that was that to be applied here or is that just what you describe where it's an option for the the homeowners later?

Yeah, that's essentially what it is. It's an option that they would want to propose, you know, as part of the HOA. One thing that I think is important is that destination homes will be a a main partner in the HOA until the whole community is built out and then they'll step back and allow the homeowners to fully take it. because their concern as as a developer is that they don't want to have maybe only a few homes occupied and then the HOA isn't running really well yet and so then those spaces aren't getting well maintained. They want to make sure that everything is is off and running before they uh set back. That's that's a biggie. Thank you. Financially supplement the HOA until it can be done. Yeah. Is that

do they play a role till full buildout or a certain percentage? Just full build up. That's a good question. Yeah, I believe it's full build up. Full build out. We We'll be the declarant and president and we'll have three people from Destination Homes or Larry H. Miller real estate on the board until full build out. What's on par open space K? Let's see which one is that basket. I mean I that Oh, is this right here? That's a sidewalk around the pavilion area. Yeah, it's a pavilion.

It'll be picnic pavilions of most the areas. We're trying to keep a nod to as much as we can to the heritage of the property. So, some of our playground areas are going to be what we call terra parks where you use the landscaping to have mounds with hills and climbing structures, rocks, things that kids can play on that's a more of a natural play. Okay. Some of them there will be a few your typical

playground structures, swing sets, that kind of stuff, but we're going to mix it through the community on that. And then on the A part, we've talked about garden box and spots and haven't quite figured out how we want to play that in there. But we've also talked to and had the thoughts of having working with G&J Nursery to have things that they provide to their nursery in areas of our open spaces with plaques and things like that that kind of keep some of that nursery items in the area too.

So you said the A park. Is there a particular open space parcel that you guys are considering as the A park? No, we're still working out to find details on where that can happen in the open areas. We know where playgrounds and our hammock structures and that kind of your traditional things are going to be, but we haven't really determined if the guard boxes we're trying the garden boxes. We have them in our trailside subdivision and kind of get the built to see how they're used because we haven't seen that in any of our other subdivisions. So, Um, I have a question about the Alberta Street.

Um, so currently like the way it's displayed there is really accurate, right? Because you drive up and there's a curve and then it's a dead end. Um there's been concern for some folks in the neighborhood that right now, and I know Steve's not here, but um people come off of the Parkway thinking it's a through street already and they're like speeding. You know, we have a speeding problem in our city. Um so they they speed and then they realize that as it's curving that it's a dead end and there's like a screeching stop. So is there um opportunity I think that this curve is probably helpful. Um, but if there is an opportunity for other slowing measures, is that something that we would have to wait until it's built to see if that's a need or is that something that could be proactively done?

Yeah. Um, so we did talk to Steve about this and and really the issues with speed and and flip through traffic and um, part of it will come with like the as we do the preliminary subdivision plat and the final plat, the uh, traffic impact study that will be performed and identifying like where there might be things that that need to be put in place. when it comes to like locations of yield signs or stop signs, um the the industry standards is that those shouldn't be used to slow traffic, but they're they're there for safety measures. So, like at intersections, that's where they would be put. And so, you know, I wouldn't anticipate that we would have, you know, a a yield sign or a stop sign along that street, but maybe on the streets that go that connect in into it. And some of those things, excuse me. Uh, one of the other things is that this collector street A is actually designed to be a wider right of way in order to accommodate the amount of traffic that will be coming from this neighborhood to the north as well as this tra this uh new neighborhood to the north. Um, that that was one of those things that engineering as they looked at this, they recognized that there needed to be a couple of streets here, this collector street A as well as B, that they would need they needed to be designed as a residential collector instead of just a typical residential street. So they're a little bit wider.

Does collector A, if you go across Gentile, does it connect in to the other the subdivision there? At this point, no. Um, I mean, well, it's there. The streets there. Yeah. Let me look here. Not that far. It's not not that far.

Yeah, it looks like there's there's a street here. Eventually, this street will go to the north. Um and so as we did talk about, you know, the potential for cut through streets, um engineering, they looked at it with their traffic counts as well. There there is eventually going to be a signal here. They they've done multiple studies. It's getting closer and closer to having a signal. It's just still not quite to the warrant level to have a signal there, but it's going to be, you know, in the near future. Um and then when it comes to cutting through this street, this street is is 40 miles an hour. This this one I don't know. Yeah. I was looking at where A goes. Where it hits? Yeah, Collector Street A is right here. And I was trying to think where's Cold Water Creek. I think it might be over here.

Yeah, it's down one of these two streets. Okay. Yeah, cuz there's the chapel that's up there to the north. Yeah. Yeah. The thought is is that ultimately when you've got this street here as well as 2200, this is 1700, I believe. Yeah. And 2200. All right. There. Yeah. any any the majority of any cut through traffic would be residential residents that live already in the neighborhood. Again, you can't prevent 100% anybody coming into a neighborhood to try to cut through, but the logical sense is that yeah, they'd go around the other way.

Okay. All right. You guys good? Can you make I know we can ask more questions out there but um we had one more item that we needed to bring up so that's why I'm asking you feel comfortable on this for now. Thanks. Thank you. We appreciate that. Yeah. So we thought that we' take advantage of the remainder of the time to be able to um get an update on TRZ area. So with that, what we'd like to do is go into a closed door session. So I would need a motion. So move.

Is there a second? Second. Thank you. You guys will see.

Welcome everyone out to our Leighton City Council meeting this evening for December 4th. Um, as customary, we do like to start all of our meetings with a prayer and a pledge. We uh have a we take turns up here on the dis and uh tonight I'm going to turn the time over to council member Tyson Roberts.

Okay, thank you very much for uh leading us in that opening ceremony. Um, at this time I know we have two sets of minutes that we need to approve. So, council, I'll ask if there's no corrections to the two items that are listed. Then I'd ask you to go ahead and make a motion. And if so, please state the um meeting and the date, please. Madame Mayor, I I move that we approve the minutes of Leighton City Council meeting work meeting, excuse me, September 18th, 2025 and the minutes of Leighton City Council meeting, October 2nd, 2025.

Okay. Is there a second? Second. Okay. It's been moved and second that we adopt the minutes as written. All in favor, please say I. I. Any oppose? Okay. Thank you very much. Okay. We'll go down to our municipal announcements tonight. So, I'll go ahead and turn that over to the council for any announcements they may have.

Mayor, uh, thank you very much. Um, city coun or the parks and recck department. I've had the opportunity for a couple years to serve with them, uh, with the parks and recck commission. The parks and recck department create a great a lot of great opportunities for our residents um, and outside of our residents. Uh, first of all, the lights before Christmas are fully lit and ongoing. Uh, just north of or just east of us here. Constitution Circle open from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Uh, you can walk through, you can drive through, or you can ride the train through. So, a lot of different options to enjoy uh enjoy the festivities there. I believe the Rotary Club sells hot chocolate in the evening. Um, so a lot of lot of things going on there. Um, as well, um, our good curator at the museum, the Leighton Heritage Museum just south of us on the plaza made some connections with the North Pole and, uh, has a special visitor coming December 9th, 10th, and 11th from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., uh, Santa will be there. uh bring the family, enjoy the museum um of totally free and just a great opportunity to come meet the big guy. Um also it's a little ways out but uh in January uh the parks and or the recreation department will be holding a jigsaw puzzle tournament. It'll be January 10th. This was really popular last year.

Uh three different tiers of uh difficulty so you can get your family together. Um, registration is required to so go to the city website to the parks and recreation tab and look for the open registration tab and uh I believe it'll fill up as it did last year quickly. So fun event when it's cold outside in January to go inside a gymnasium and and stay warm as a family. So thanks mayor.

Okay. Thank you. Uh just to add upon those uh light displays out here. Um I think it's hats off to our our parks and recck department on just the fabulous job they do year in and you out year out, excuse me. And the fact that just for fun fact about that, it takes them quite a while to put up all those lights and they actually start in October in order to accomplish this evening. But um please pay attention to the list of events on the parks and rec uh website because we will be having active pages next week as well which is a fun narrative storytelling event that takes place in the park and you'll move from station to station. And when that's on the train will not be uh running but pretty much every weekend the train will be there. As mentioned, you've got the in addition to hot chocolate, they're selling uh churles as well. So, it's a chocolate churros and a choo choo that can take place there. So, anyway, support the active pages as well. That's a fun event. Okay, council. Does anybody else have any uh announcements? One more thing, speaking of the museum, since there's so many of you here, there's a fabulous display on right now and it's of all kinds of nutcrackers. The neat thing about this nut track nutcracker display is it's collections or nutcrackers from several different citizens throughout our community. So, it's really a community display of nutcracker collections. Okay, with that I'll go ahead and move on then to a fun part of our meeting and one that we all look forward to and uh to acknowledge a very special group the young students that are willing to participate in our um Leighton City

Youth Council. So, we have a new group each year and uh tonight we have the honors of being able to swear in in this group and I know that uh each one of us take different um roles with the city and I know that council member Thomas is our liaison for the Leighton City Youth Council. Would you want to share any words before we get started with that?

They look good. Okay. Is Serena here? Just I didn't see you back there. Okay. So, um with that, I'd like to turn the time over to Serena who is our youth council uh coordinator uh council leader um who gets to uh work one-on-one with these kids. And so, Serena, I'll go ahead and turn the time over to you.

Thank you, Mayor Petro. Um, members of the Leighton community and Mayor Pro and City Council, um, it is my privilege to recognize the group of remarkable young individuals who truly represent the future of our community, the Leighton City Youth Council. This civic group is composed of the best of the best. I keep telling everyone that this is the best. These kids, they're the best of the best among Leighton's youth. They're dedicated to service, leadership, and learning about government. Over the past year, the Youth Council has been incredibly active and productive. Their commitment to improving our community is evident in their impressive track record of service. They have selflessly dedicated their time and energy to a variety of causes, participating in no fewer than 10 service projects. Through these projects, they've collectively donated an astounding $417 service hours to our city and raised over $600 for the sub for Santa program. These hours represent tang tangible contributions to the well-being of our neighbors and the vibrancy of our shared spaces. Furthermore, this group is committed to civic education. They gather faithfully twice a month to engage in meaningful discussions and learn about the workings of both local and state government. This commitment ensures that their passion for service is matched by an understanding of how to affect positive change through civic engagement. The dedication, maturity, and community spirit demonstrated by the Leighton City Youth Council is truly inspiring to me. They are a shining example of youth leadership and Leighton City is very fortunate to have such an engaged and caring young citizens among us. Please join me in offering a round of applause for the accomplishments of the Leighton City Youth Council as we have them come forward.

Please come forward on my side. You can go up and shake the council members and the mayor's hands before we swear you in. Okay.

All right. Yeah. I'm not going to be able to see you because I have to speak in the microphone, but raise your right hand and repeat after me. I state your name. I do solemnly swear do solemnly swear that I will support, obey, and defend that I will support, obey, and defend the Constitution of the United States the Constitution of the United States

and the Constitution of the State of Utah and the Constitution of the State of Utah and that I will discharge the duties of my office with fidelity. Congratulations.

Mayor, we asked to be excused for a moment from the meeting for to celebrate. We will acknowledge that before. But beforehand, I failed to acknowledge a few folks in the audience that I think deserve a special recognition tonight. Uh, first off, I see that we have a previous mayor in the audience, Jimmy Leighton. Thank you. Also, we have the honor of the commander of Hill Air Force Base, com Colonel Dan Cornelius. Could you please stand? Wow.

Also, we have a council member elect Mike Clandranis. Okay. The youth may be excused, so we'll give them a minute. And while they're being excused, I just have to say thank you very much. You kids do a lot of work throughout the city. You help with all the different events and it doesn't go unnoticed. And we do appreciate everything you've done and continue to do. No problem. I think that shows the support we have within our youth in this community in the fact that these kids were here. You saw the family support as well. And I it just bodess honestly to the fact that we care about our youth and we really want to educate them and help them really grow within our community and help make it a vibrant area for all of us to uh to live and work and have fun here. So with that, let's go ahead and continue on with our meeting. Um now is the time that I'll open it up for citizens comment. The citizens comment period is for anyone who wish to address this governing body. Um, and however, if you're here though for our public hearing meeting, then I'd ask that you wait until we open that public hearing and we can hear those uh comments at that time. But other than that, anyone who wishes to address us, you're more than welcome to do so. Just please state your name and what city you're from.

Hello. Hello. I'm Dale Ro from Leighton and it's nice to see the faces because I've gotten a lot of your brochures over the years so that I voted for you. Uh I'm here to support and I hope this is the right time to support the dog park for Leighton. Is this the right time for that? It's not on the item. So, yes, this is a perfect time.

Yeah, we have a a group that's on uh Facebook now. And uh about two years ago, I was walking my dogs about four miles a day. Now, it's lucky if I do a mile. So, I had a total knee replacement. So, and there's a lot of us that have lived here in Leighton for quite a while. I've been here since 84. Moved from Florida, worked here for 30 years at uh South Weieber Elementary. So, just here to support the efforts to get a dog park for people like me. And it's a I've been to the I think it's called Wagging Dog Wagging Tales Dog Park in Syracuse. And it's such a great uh uh place to meet people, talk to people, such a wide variety of dogs. And I think that's I'm here just to support that. And hope, you know, we've done a lot of great things for Leighton. And it's boy has it grown since I've been here in ' 84. And I was just hoping that maybe we could add that to our um items that we have that we've done. So I appreciate all your work that you do. So, thank you.

Okay. Thank you. Okay. Is there anyone else? Go ahead and come up.

Hi, my name is Nathan Rodriguez, also a resident of Leighton and um also in support of the dog park. Uh I've lived here since 2018. Uh one of the first things that I've noticed is I did an online search for a dog park and was a little bit surprised to see that there wasn't one in Leighton. I thought perhaps it was called something else, referred to as something else. Uh but it looked like the nearest one was in Riverdale, the greater Ogden area, and was just kind of surprised that the city of this size and caliber just didn't have something uh for dogs. You know, I'm fortunate to have uh a fenced in yard for our dogs to run around in. Uh but many other dog owners who live in the city uh aren't as lucky. Uh a dog park is a gathering space for dogs and owners to be able to socialize. Uh leashed walks around neighborhoods and trails are certainly nice uh but they're inadequate for uh dogs to just blow off steam and uh kind of run around and have fun with some other dogs. I think it would be a wonderful resource for the community to enjoy. Uh dogs bring joy to our lives. A park for dogs would enhance the livability and sense of connection and community in the city of Leighton. And so I would just simply request that uh the council endeavors to actively pursue such a project as it would bring uh both immediate and long-term benefits for dogs, dog owners, and the greater community. Thanks.

Okay. Thank you. Okay. Anyone else?

Okay. Seeing that there's no other uh comment regarding uh items that are not on our agenda, I'll go ahead and skip down to item number six. We do not have any consent items tonight. So, we'll just go right to our public hearing portion of our meeting. So uh before we go into the public hearing portion of it, we do want the presentation that will be presented by uh Weston Appaloney and it's regarding the Stevenson Field subdivision. Thank you, Mayor and Councel. Um I am going to just make a note. Um I've noted so I don't forget but just in case I'm going to bring it up right now as part of our recommendation. Um there is a resolution number that was not tied to the resolution is called out um but the resolution number is not called out in in your staff report. So that resolution is 25-53. So as a part of the recommendation that is tied to the development agreement. So approval of that development agreement would be resolution 2553. U thank you, mayor and council. Uh before you tonight is an annexation and reszone request uh for a property that's located roughly on the the corner of 2200 and Gentile is identified in the area in red. This is the area identified for the reszone. There is some area of this ground that's already annexed into the city. And then this is the area in red that's identified for the annexation. So there is a total of 75.66 acres for the full project, 58.42 of which is being requested for an annexation.

Just a few uh components of the the development request. This is a re resone request to an R110 PRUD. Um, this includes a total of 75.66 acres that includes a portion of that the city owns, which is uh 7.25, excuse me, 7.24 acres of a detention pond. The detention pond is not a part of the development. The density or open space will not be included as a part of this development. It's just included within the annexation tied to the annexation requirements of the county that there is no um um um

Thank you. Um so the Stevenson Fields subdivision concept includes 335 residential units, 92 single family front-loaded lots, 170 single family rear-loaded lots, and 73 town homes. The neighborhood a heritage overlay which is a designation identified in the general plan um allows for a base density of 3.5 units with a maximum density of 4.9. Um the proposed density is 8.9. that uh density is occurred by uh providing open space amenities, design amenities um and additional um recreational facilities um to to allow for that density increase. Um the R110 PUD um with the A heritage is required to have 20% open space. The development is proposing 22.6 six. Um and then the maximum um number of town homes that are allowed or attached units that are allowed are 30%, they're providing 73 which is 21.8% of the units. This development is tied to a development agreement as well. As mentioned earlier, this is a conceptual site plan of the development. the the greenish or toothpaste color looking lots um are the larger uh lots within the development and and are designed to be mostly on the outside of the subdivision with the orer lots um the orange lots being the rear loaded detached single family and then the blue the darker blue lots are the the town homes the attached units as you can see the there's a wide variety of the open space that we talked about. This is the you can see the um the gray area here is identified as the

city's detention basin and there will be a trail um part of the regional trail that will be placed with the development um on city property um and within the the property of the development um which will be part of a as I said a regional trail. This is the neighborhood concept uh context to give you an idea of how the roads connect. Just going through the landscape amenities. Um again, there's 22.6% of um open space. This includes five development parks, two development developed parks that could be uh potential dog parks. They're still working through that. uh two picnic areas, outdoor recreational areas, interconnected trail systems, and again that Utah Power and Light corridor trail. This development is tied to a pattern book. This pattern book is designed to um outline the design standards and the setbacks and all the requirements for uh building within this area. The pattern book is based off our municipal code and the design standards are based off of the product that destination has been researching to bring to Leighton and that they've recognized that um this these styles and qualities they've seen within uh Davis County and Leighton that have been timeless that they want to keep and and continue to add to the um our area. Just as a snippet to give you an idea of what the um what this packet would look like, they would be this is one of the pages that regulates the single family detached narrow lots. On the the first column here provides your setbacks um and your your requirements for um your site

plan and then your allowable projections, your garage requirements. We allow we require the garages to be a 20 by 20 ft. That's interior dimensions. That's the largest we can require from state code. Um and then additional uh criteria for porch design um or potentially patio design uh on each of the units. The architectural styles are outlined here, arts and crafts, colonial, farmhouse, and English romantic and are tied to each of the types of units that we've discussed. And so what will happen is when we receive a building permit, uh if it gets once it gets through that stage, one of these units will be selected and we will go through this packet selecting these specific types of units. Um these units will be tied to um a specific facade as outlined here. And then we will tie them to the specific windows that they provided for each of the unit types, the columns, the roof structures, and that's what they will be permitted to build. Uh parking analysis was completed with uh the review of this development. The area I outlined in red is identifying the um the guest parking areas. Each of these units will be required to have twocar garages. And so in addition to the guest parking, all the units have two-car garages uh with the front-loaded uh which is the green units will also have a driveway for parking as well. Okay, that's just kind of a synopsis. I want to cover over just a couple little uh bits that uh wasn't um brought up as we were going through that. Um especially with the parking that parking analysis

um with the single family detached, there's a required 524 parking stalls. It's required out of all of those units. That includes the garage stalls. Um town homes are required to have 164 stalls. Um so the the total required number of stalls is 688. The development is providing 729 exceeding the allotment that's required. The development agreement of the reszone request. The applicant has worked with staff to create uh this development agreement for the purposes of the subdivision. The agreement is intended to further the city ordinances and regulations established by specific design standards and the development plan for the neighborhood and outline uh and outline any modifications for strict compliance with city code. The proposed street networks have been designed in accordance with the public work standards to address traffic circulation and access to the neighborhood and from access from other neighborhoods. Um, two residential collector streets um are located through the development and will be accessed from Gentile and 2200 with connectors to adjacent residential neighborhoods. The subdivision includes other residential streets designed to meet city standards in a manner to provide additional connections to Gentile and 2200 West. On number 20 on November 25th, 2025, the planning commission forwarded a recommendation of approval to the city council for the reszone request of approximately 75.66 acres located at approximately 2073 West Gentile Street uh from uh RS residential, suburban, and unincorporated areas to R110 Ped single family residential plan residential unit development with a development agreement. Staff supports the planning commission's recommendation and also the recommendation that the city council adopt ordinance 2511 and 2512 and resolution 2553

approving the annexation reszone request and development agreement. I'd be happy to answer any questions and and I also will say that I've got Brad Mwrath with me, our city planner, who did a lot of this work and is very knowledgeable. So if there's something that I'm not able to address, I' uh I'd love to bring him up and have him answer some of those questions as well. Okay. Excellent. Thank you. Council, do you have any questions before we uh open up a public hearing? You can ask now or you can wait until public hearing. I mean, it's I'm just offering it to you because that's typically what we do. Um, first of all, thanks for taking some time to chat with me earlier today. Answered a lot of my questions then, but also other ones have come up. So, Sure.

Um, first of all, can you talk about what is there private and public streets in this development? I I assume the alleys are private, but other than that, correct, the alleys are private. This uh road connection here, this culde-sac would be private. Um everything else is public. So all of the lettered streets are well, yeah, all everything but the alleys, all the inter all that's private. All these are private. Okay. But your main street network that you see, all of that is public. So what are the widths of those different streets?

Uh the majority of them are 58 ft. This one up here uh is a 62 foot rightway. Okay. Um, also can you talk about the improvements that'll be done to 2200 the um Brad talked about it in the work meeting, but yeah. Um, so 20 There we go. 2200 will be widened across the full length of that project on that side of the road. Um, and Brad 12t is added. 12 feet of asphalt will be added to that plus curb and gutter sidewalk. Yeah, that's Yeah, curb, gutter, and sidewalk will be addition to that 12 feet. That's just the asphalt.

Okay. And one other for now. I I asked you if you had a number for me before kind of a and maybe this is a Steve question, but is there an average estimated trips per day per unit in Utah? I did get a hold of Steve.

Great. Thanks for thanks for asking that. I appreciate it. Um so for a single family home um 9.43 trips per day averaged on a single family home. On a town home it's 7.2 trips per day. Uh the there is a traffic impact study that's tied to this development that will be reviewed at preliminary. Um engineering has already looked at this and the roads will meet capacity. Matter of fact, they overmeat capacity for what this is and so do the surrounding roads. Obviously, there's things that we just talked about the right widening of 2200 needs to occur, but the surrounding facilities, the the development in in the the surrounding community and this one will facilitate that traffic.

Thank you. I'm going to ask the question since you're on the roads. Um, obviously with the the focus going forward on active transportation and alternative transportation, is it possible or has it been addressed or could you look at it regarding um bike lanes possibly in this area um in particular probably on uh collector a and obviously 2200 west with that widening. We would we would rely rely on our uh transportation master plan and our active transportation plan. Uh, we can pull that up and look at what that is and reference that for you. Okay. Um, I don't have that right now, but I'll mark that down and we'll look give you an answer. Okay. Thank you.

Go ahead. Thanks, Mayor Weston. Thank you for uh providing the planning commission meeting minutes for us to review. Three-hour meeting. Uh, so a lot of input. That's great. And we've got the minutes from that. So it was good to get a feel for uh issues and topics for tonight. My question is infrastructure. We can't see infrastructure underneath the so water, storm drain, sewer. You talk about the are we at capacity, over capac under capacity? Just talk about those those three infrastructures.

Yeah, absolutely. Uh we're not at capacity. This this area will it was planned um to have this. There might be some upsizing that the developer has to do on some of their um their areas, but it will the de the area will hold that um capacity. So there's there's no issue with any of the utility connections. Can Oh, go ahead then. I will. Sorry, Madam Mayor. Uh Weston, can you talk about Sugarpine Way that connection down there as it relates to utilities and kind of the I guess the emergency response vehicles or just talk to me about that connection down there? Yeah. Purpose you're pointing down here, right? Yeah. Okay.

Um Yeah. So, when subdivisions are created, um we'll talk about the um existing subdivision. When that was created, it was intended to be stubbed specifically to connect to future connections to allow for um not just emergency services, but it's really critical that we loop our utilities. Um water's a critical utility to loop. Once we go too far with our water lines, the the pressure suffers if we don't have looped connections. And so, um, our roads are not just servicing our roads, they're servicing our utilities as well. So, our storm drain, our water, all of our utilities generally sit in our roadways. And so, not just for access, but it's a critical connection for emergency services and our utility connections.

Speaking of the utility connections or infrastructure, um, I have to ask a question just because my history here. I know back when uh Gentile Street was uh reconstructed and we redid all the infrastructure in there with uh new water sewer lines, well primarily water, storm water or sewer and storm water. Um it seemed like there was a payback agreement possibly for future development in these areas. Was this one of those properties that that would apply to? I know that was being looked into. I don't have all the details on that.

Okay. You're not Okay. Yeah. I was going to say I I remember just because I was part of it back then or I I wasn't on the council but I was impacted by that as well. So, okay. Thank you. Um questions. Um can you go back up to that collector a um and you said that that street width did you say it was 62? That's a 62 foot rideway. Yes. And Alberta's roost currently is 58, right? And so is that is Alberta Spruce going to be widened or is that going to narrow to get into Alberta Spruce?

No, I mean 58t rideway is still a sufficient size rightway. Um the 62T rideway just accounts for this is a large subdivision and uh it's recognized that there could be some additional traffic that comes through this section of the subdivision and so it it's widened to account for that. a 58 foot rideway still has sufficient room to park on both sides of the road and drive through. But as it enters as collector A enters back into the current Alberta Spruce, it'll narrow to get back to where it is. It'll taper in.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah. Um so I asked in the work meeting about just that section and how people presently um according to residents are entering Leighton Parkon Parkway and they're thinking that they're going somewhere currently they're not they're not going anywhere but they're speeding. Um can you speak to what the the dimensions or not dimensions but how this road is designed and how that could help mitigate speed.

So this uh this curve here is is referred to as a chicane um which slows people down as you're coming in uh into or um on either way you're coming into that. It will slow vehicles down. In addition to that, the traffic impact study will review these specific intersections and identify if yield signs are required, if stop signs are required. Um, that will be a component of the the preliminary and final plans.

Could that also include roundabouts? I mean, I know if you go further west, um, when you're entering in on your way to Sunburst off a tile, um, there's a roundabout there. Is that something also that could be looked at as opposed to a yield sign or stop sign? Typically the the roundabouts push traffic through faster and so this is an area we wouldn't necessarily want to encourage roundabouts um and it would it would definitely change the development but if there was if there was a need for it obviously could be looked at but it's not something that we would recommend and I don't respectfully speak for engineering that I don't think they would recommend that either. Perhaps maybe along those lines though that we could look at u I guess the bulb outs,

right? That that helps with the speed. Yeah. In those areas just maybe as a as a different type of calming effect. Yeah. And and again, this is tied to a traffic impact study. So that will that will be looked at to see if and again we talked about it in the the work session. Um stop signs and yield signs, they're not intended they're traffic flow measures, right? They're not traffic calming measures. Um uh and so we're not trying to calm the traffic down. We're trying to negotiate the traffic in the safest safest way possible. So that's what we'll be looking at when they examine that.

Okay. One more question on that. Uh Collector Street A. Um does the the wideness of the road actually increase speed? It Yeah, wider roads could potentially increase speed. Wider roads also facilitate parking on the street a little bit easier as well, too. Okay. because I I guess I'm I'm curious because we already have sufficient stalls. Um and so if we're worried about speed, um having the wider the wider streets may actually induce greater speeds particularly because that road is straight. Um I live on one not that far from here and it's really wide and it is people you fly up it and it doesn't go anywhere. Sure.

But this would go somewhere because it would connect between Leighton Parkway and Gentile. So I'm I'm just curious if there had been any discussion about that. Yeah, it's a good question. Um I would rely on engineering their full recommendation recognizing that um that there is going to be some cutthrough. Uh but their analysis was that this cut through uh would be limited as far as not trying to access um the West Davis corridor um and not trying to access um other regions beyond the developments that are within the short span of where they're already at.

And I know you're not Steve, so I'm sorry I have to ask you this, but do we know do we have a time frame for when the warrants will be sufficiently met for the the light down there at uh 2200 in Leighton Parkway? He's not provided a time frame for me. I mean, I it would be an estimate if he did and and he, you know, would have to take a stab in the dark, but has said that in the last two years, they've studied it four times. They're actively looking at it. Um, and we'll continue to actively watch that, and when it hits warrants, we'll immediately get it in there. Okay. Question. Go ahead. Just open space. I

I know something was said and I missed it. So open space is more than than it was is required for for this. Yeah. So they're they're required to have 20% open space. They're providing 22.6.

Okay. And then in when we talked in the meeting, you guys mentioned that part of that open space will be playgrounds. um what we call playgrounds today and then part of that open space will be playgrounds what we had when I was a kid you know hills, rocks, you know places to play without plastic being in the way. Okay, speaking of open spaces, just for clarification purposes, the detention basin is not included in this open space. Correct. That's correct.

So I think some folks were questioning that and I just want to make sure that's clear. So So for full clarification, they are putting in a trail through that detention basin. That's still even though they're doing that, that's still not counting toward towards any density bonuses or any um uh open space requirements that they're required to have.

Okay. Thank you. So you pro you probably don't have this but to piggyback off of that would you be able to provide the answer is yes. Will you provide the total um percentage of open space in this development including the Leighton City portion even though it's not a part of the development just to get a good feel for what percentage of this whole 75 I think it's 75 acres this whole 75 acres is actually open space. Sure we can run that. Thanks. Okay. Any other additional questions? One more, mayor.

Okay, that's fine. That's if you haven't. Um, just looking at the collector road A, is it called? The one on the No, East. Yeah, Collector Street A. Yeah. I'm just I'm just trying to pull the crystal ball out and see where people are going to choose to go out of this subdivision or if if someone tried to use it as a cutth through street. Do you know the speeds of I know the Leighton Parkway is 35 miles an hour from this area from the end of Alberta Stroo Spruce to 2700 West I think it was said 2200 is 40 miles an hour. That's correct. Is that right? 30 or Gentile is it

is it 40 right through there. Okay. And and the collector street I'm assuming neighborhood it's 25 25 and all of them. Okay. Thank you. Yep. Go ahead. Um can you go back one slide to show the uh sorry when the one that shows the parkway and it's Yeah, that one. Um the Fieldstone uh development is also a PRUD, correct? Over here. Yes. Yeah. And it was our previous PRUD ordinance. So it looks substantially different than what it looks like now.

Can you talk about the the difference uh between those? That's my first question. And I guess the second one is uh a PUD is not an entitlement. It's it's just a they ask for it and we say we want to give it or not. So uh this is a neighborhood a overlay. So what would a development just conceptually look like? How would it be different if it did not have the PUD element?

Yeah. Um Brad, would you exit out of that slide? You've got an we've got a slide that I can pull up that if you'd click on that just above this is just from our general plan. Um give you a general context. So the area in the top would be a ped. It has your open space. If you're not looking at an open space and this is a based off of an R110, you would be at a standard subdivision. Um any lots ranging from 10 to potentially 12 or 15,000 square feet. And then I apologize your your first part. The first one was just what the difference between the fieldstone development PR and this one. It's obviously they look a lot different.

Yeah, they do. So open space was huge. So uh it was a 30 maybe 35% I can't remember. So don't quote me on what the actual percent was uh required to be open space that but that open space accounted for sideyards um some rear yards uh large spans that may not you may not be able to do anything in. And so they could get a lot of open space without it really being open space. It also didn't require amenities and or or any town homes. That's right. That Thank you. There's another component of this current PRUD which does allow for 30% town homes. Right. Thank you.

Okay. Any more questions? I mean certainly as we go along you guys are welcome to ask additional questions but uh if not then um I'd like to bring it back to the council and take action on opening Oh excuse me are you okay mayor we can just answer Patina's question really quick absolutely yeah so if we were to include the city detention basin which again it not we aren't but it would be 30% of that entire 75 uh 75.66 66 acres would be open space and so it ends up being 22.72 acres. Okay, it's a good increase. Okay, thank you.

Okay, so with that council, then I'll bring it back to you to take action to open our public hearing regarding the Stevenson Field subdivision. I'll make a motion to open the public hearing. Okay, second. Second.

Okay, it's been moved and second. So, at this time, we'd like to turn it over to uh anyone in the audience that wish to uh address us regarding this public hearing. Um, once again, make sure you state your name and what city you're from. And certainly, uh, if you have a representative that's speaking on behalf of a group, then, you know, we'll give you plenty ample time, but if not, if you choose to do individual comments, then, you know, if you can, try not to ask the same question or emphasize the same point. Um, and we'll certainly take everything into consideration. So, with that, the time is now yours. Hello, my name is Travis Baker. This is my wife, Marcy. We are Leighton City residents. We live in the Evergreen Farms phase one subdivision directly to the south on White Pine Drive. So, our property would abut the development. Um, we uh we drafted a a petition that we presented to the planning commission. I forwarded that to you council members in an email also with um our other thoughts. Um I'll do my best to speak a little bit for our neighborhood. A lot of them had prior commitments. Busy time of year. Um they wanted to be here, but there's a lot of lot of stuff going on. So, um, first off, let me say thank you. Um, we do understand how much time and effort and thought you put into this thing. We we have family members that have served in city councils and as mayors, and we understand that you put a lot of time and thought and effort into this. We appreciate the opportunity to come and talk to you about this and express our concerns and have you listen. Um, we want to be clear, we we're not anti-development. We understand that growth needs to happen, that growth will happen. Um, we appreciate that the land owners have a right to sell property and and we

appreciate that developers have a right to develop that property and um to do it in the way that best benefits them. We just want to express our concerns that we have a real concern for the safety and um public health in our neighborhood with the increase in traffic. I know that there's obviously been efforts made to provide adequate parking stalls and and engineering studies have been done. Um, but as an engineer by profession, let me caution you. Even though I live by the numbers, they don't always tell the full story. And just because a road has capacity, doesn't mean that it won't be too busy for children to play on it. Um, so we we really would just love to see this ne this development not connected to our neighborhood. That would probably alleviate most of our concerns. um our neighborhood right now, the utilities are fine, the emergency access is fine. Eventually, it'll obviously have another little piece connected there to the south that'll that'll provide even more access and utility loops. So, that would be our request is that the that you direct the the city planner and the developer to not connect to our subdivision on top of all the other concerns, but that would be the easiest way to alleviate our concerns. Um, I just would like to share, excuse me, a brief experience that happened in our neighborhood this summer. Um, one that really shaped how I think about the safety on our streets. My 11-year-old daughter was out riding bikes with her twin sister and a friend, something that they do all the time in our quiet neighborhood. It was an ordinary afternoon, and in an instant, everything changed. Out of nowhere, she lost her balance, fell hard, and became pinned under her bike. She couldn't move. The fall snapped her thumb and she was lying in the middle of the street, scared and in pain. And then she heard the sound of an Amazon delivery truck coming up behind her. She told me afterward that

she was terrified, absolutely convinced that she was going to be run over because she couldn't get out of the street. As a parent, hearing your child say this and describe that fear, it stays with you. Thankfully, her twin sister managed to jump off of her bike, run back, lift the bike off of her, and get her out of the road. Um, their friend called her mom who was able to drive over, pick her up, put the bike in the truck, bring her home. Um, we were unbelievably lucky that day. We were blessed really that she walked away with only a broken thumb and a sore ankle. But I keep thinking about how easily that could have been different. And this happened in a quiet, low traffic street. The kind of street where kids are supposed to be able to play and to ride and just be kids. That's why the safety in our streets matter so much to us. Our kids play here. They ride here. They grow up here. Even in a quiet neighborhood with minimal traffic, accidents happen in an instant. adding hundreds of cars cutting through our small streets, delivery truck drivers, Walmart Plus, Uber Eats, all of those things that besides the the residents of those this new community will only increase the odds of the situation ending like this ending differently. We're speaking up today not only because not because we're against of growth, but because we want our children and everyone's children to be safe in the streets that we use every day. Thank you. Thank you.

Yeah. Thank you very much. Anyone else? Good evening everyone. I'm Lauren Jeepson. I live in Leighton. I live kind of around the corner from Travis Travis and Marcy there in the uh the Evergreen subdivision. Um, so I guess quick question. I know it was mentioned the widening of 2200 for the new portion. Has there been any discussion about widening for the existing the portion with the existing houses already. Just want to throw that out there.

Yeah, we'll what I think what we'll do is we'll hear all the comments and then we'll come back and address them. Just yeah, just throwing that out there cuz I've heard of that that's happened in, you know, my my friend lives um in another neighborhood and that happened to him and they took like six feet of his yard after he was already there and that was very upsetting to him. So, I'm wondering if that's going to happen to the people that are already existing there. Um, just throwing that out there. But, um, I'd like to I agree with Travis here. So, I'm not an engineer by trade, but I worked with a lot of them. um in the military and as a defense contractor and other places and uh just because you can doesn't mean it always works or is a good idea. Um for example, so I flew I flew the B-52 um and we one time we had a bunch of Boeing engineers come and say, "Oh, we got this cool new product and everything for inside the cockpit and yada yada yada." and they took I don't know an hour or two explaining how this worked on a laptop and we all just looked at each other and mind you we're all we called oursel we were just we're just crew dogs okay we just want to know how to turn it on like push a button to make it work and turn it off that's all we need right another example after I flew the B-52 I went to special warfare and we had guys come and show us all this cool tech and we just called ourselves 's knuckle dragon tac P. Um, stands for tactical air control party and we just like to break stuff to be honest and uh they brought us all this tech and again we're just like where's the on off make stuff blow up? Like we just want to do that. Um and then again as a defense contractor people pointing out the engineers great job doing their thing but it's like how do we stick our hand behind here and make some

adjustments and maintain this? and they're like, "Oh, yeah. I haven't thought about that." So, with all that being said, um I know the engineers have done their studies and things, but I mean, if you just rough math, that's like additional,400 people, another 700 cars. Um I know they say it might work, but is it really a good idea? Is it really going to work? I know a lot of us, we live right all around there. We grew up riding there, riding our bikes there and everything like that. Um, but and I'm I'm all like again like Travis, I'm all for building housing and we need that, but is there a way that we can look at it and potentially change it? I know we're like way down that road with the development agreement. Um, but in the military, we always say there's a waiver for everything. So, I'm always like, well, how do we how do we make change? So that's just my question is if could we look at it and really be like is this is this really going to work and then how do we make that change in a development agreement to make that happen. So thank you.

Okay. Thank you.

Anyone else? My name is Ben Tate. I sent an email so thank you for reading that ahead of time. I'm on um on Albert British Brush Drive. Just had a couple of things that I don't think have been brought up in either of the meetings. Destination has some beautiful homes. I do know that they have their three-story um plans that are featured in Trailside between the the storage units and the residential. And on page 46 of the the packet, it mentioned those three stories being potentially included. And um those are larger and have some nice features, but they also have more capacity, more cars and things. So I I might suggest um you don't see a lot of threetory structures west of Main Street on Gentile. So maybe that you look at those three threetory options and whether or not those are a good inclusion. The other thing, I love the Larry Miller group sincerely. I can't read Larry Miller's biography without crying because I've benefited so much from his theaters and jazz and all the things. And I'm wondering if we can make them spend more money and develop the Leighton land underneath that large parcel that we're talking about as green space, but not because right now we're talking about a lot of extra soccer teams coming out of these new homes. Right now they try to use the LDS property on Gentile, but it'd be nice and and they can go over to Harmony, but just if we can get that developed as part of this and whether they're paying for it or city's paying for it, but um a true green space like that where you can actually kick a ball, catch a ball, um I think we the households already need it. So with 300 more, the other the other thing that I would just end with is um I know what chicanees do. I know what roundabouts do. I would love as we

reference these things and answer questions for Mr. Roberts and others that have asked questions if there could be some kind of addendum at some point that helps us understand the engineering what conversations were had and what those differences are because I am concerned that you plan for the east west traffic. Um, I think that it's safe to assume that a similar development will be east of this probably within 15 years and getting those people to Gentile and to 2200 West I think should be considered. I know that that's not the plan and but but I've worked I'm a realtor that works a lot with developers and um that the land that sells first is the land that's never going to sell. We all know that and um appreciate you hearing these few things.

Okay. Thank you very much.

I am Winston Gillis. I also live in Leighton. I'm in the Evergreen Ivory neighborhood to the to the east of Travis's. And uh my concern is Excuse me. Do you mind restating your name? Yeah. Winston Gillis. Won Winston Winston. Yes. Okay. Go ahead.

Okay. Um my concern is uh the the collector road that comes down through Alberta Spruce um going from it looks like Gentile down all the way over through our neighborhood to Parkway. Uh I don't know if there's something that can be done to ensure the speeds stay down because that's going to be uh probably widely used. I don't know if you can put speed bumps or something through there to to control the speed because um teenagers especially tend to ignore speed limit signs. Um but that would be my biggest concern. I live on the street that's just to the east. I live on Austrian Pine Drive which is to the east of Alberta Spruce. So, we won't see necessarily the traffic over there, but that is going to increase the the throughput for our neighborhood substantially, I think, because I think people will take that route rather than going further west, hitting 2200 and then hitting Parkway. So, just just food for thought. Okay. Thank you.

Thank you. Okay. Next,

mayor and council. My name is Tom Toronto. I also live in Leighton City. This is actually the third time that we've lived in Leighton City. I grew up in Farmington and thought that was heaven. And we've truly learned to appreciate Leighton as a little piece of heaven as well, especially when you pronounce it without the T. Leighton, mountains, and and other things. So, my background is in the geospatial industries, GIS. So, Doug Pierce is one of your resident. just uh recently left here. Um I have worked in ex extensively with engineers over the past 20 years and lived in Arizona for a while for part of and worked with the city of Goodyear for an annexation of 90 square miles. So from I 10 down to I8. Um that was an adventure in planning all of that out to really hit those target densities for everything open space, public space, all the different residential densities and everything else. Um I understand uh having worked with uh at engineering firms the time spent to create iterations of these layouts. It takes a lot of time. It takes a lot of uh effort and sweat and those poor drafters who get to go back and redraw all of the layouts in the homes. And I know that there's iteration uh two, three, four, five, six possibly. I believe that uh looking at the single unit homes uh in here and having done some of these myself in the past that there might be an opportunity to go back and look at this and see and I understand that there is an effort to try to really provide opportunities for homes. I have kids. I know you know they they want to live in Utah at some point as well and not quite sure how they're going to be able to afford these homes as well. But looking at this density, this is the targeted densities seem quite intense and high compared to what we're typically used to in this area. And so I would I would propose that this plan could be looked at again and and potentially reduce the densities that are intended as well. Thank you.

Okay. Thank you. Okay.

Anyone else? Hi, my name is Richard Romney. Uh, I submitted a um statement, I guess is what you would call it, to the the council and appreciate your attention to that and received a letter from you, mayor, and I appreciated that response. Um, I have some notes I've taken during the meeting. And I'll go through those in just a moment. One of my questions was uh what we really mean by agricultural heritage. I It's a term that sounds nice. I don't understand what we're doing in any of this that preserves agricultural heritage. It just seems odd to me that we're justifying something that is doing the exact opposite of what it says it's doing to me. Uh I'm particularly concerned about the bird habitat. That's was the primary focus of of uh the letter that I wrote to the council. If we could go to the diagram that u had the different colors on it. This will do. Yeah, this will work. Um, if you look up in the upper corner of that diagram, uh, right at the top right corner, you'll see underneath the power lines there, they've already planned that as an open space. If you go to that upper right corner, there is a grove of trees there that has been there for years. That is the the habitat of native birds in the area. Uh there's a a a pair of

hawks that live in the area. There are uh I counted birds the other day. I got up to over 300 birds that live in those trees and we're just wantingly tearing that down. We have a stand of old grove pine trees on the other end of the development and we were told in the earlier meeting that those will be bulldozed. uh if we're truly looking at agricultural heritage, it would seem to me that there ought to be maybe some way of incorporating existing habitats into that overall planning. That's basically the gist of of what I sent to the the council. Also, some some questions that I have just uh noted as we've been going through the uh the presentation. uh not to get into repeating things but just to ask for clarification. It seemed like in the plans that were presented all of the structures are multi-story buildings. Uh I didn't see a single singlestory home. Everything there was at least two stories tall. I wonder if that ought to be considered. Um the traffic on Gentile at times I drive on Gentile. I go over there almost every day. It's not a quiet street. And if you go there at certain times of day, I would say anybody, take your engineers, take anybody over there when J&J is busy. Uh try and drive up and down that street on rush hour. It's already overly busy and and now we're saying we're going to add to that. uh 2200 similar concerns. Uh it's a narrow road. It's a it's not uh always been uh repaired well. There are a lot of

potholes. Uh there's no bicycle space there at all. It's it's dangerous at times. Um we're going from what zoning to what zoning? I'm not sure I understand all the zoning things, but it seems to me like we are going from a lower density zoning to a higher density zoning. Whatever terms you want to use, uh we're looking at the neighborhoods that surround this proposed area, there's going to be an increased density. Whether you call it high density, low density, whatever, it's an increase of density compared to the other neighborhoods around it. Um some of us don't understand why if uh the water shares are sufficient as they are now then why did we have water rationing just a couple of years ago? U if we truly have sufficient water for the area then why have so many of us had to cut off our water uh before the growing season was over. Um, there are proposed trails in here. I'm not sure I understand. I'm not sure if anybody understands how this proposed trail connects to other trails that don't exist yet that are supposed to be some part of an overall agricultural heritage. Uh, how is a trail preserving agricultural heritage, especially a trail that only goes from one end of the development to the other end of the development and doesn't connect to anything? Um, I was talking with my wife. By the way, I live on uh Austrian Pine Drive, which is just around the corner from that uh top part of the area. Um, my wife and I were talking and and said that we moved

to the country to get out of the city. Uh, now you're trying to put us back into the city. And uh uh one of the reasons we moved here was because of the agricultural feeling of the neighborhood and are we going to turn it back into uh the old neighborhoods uh highdensity areas that we lived in in Salt Lake and and uh you know turn it from an agricultural community into a rural or a suburban community. There are so many children in this neighborhood already and more and more and more of them. Please, let's do all we can to make it safe for the children. Um, another issue that I think needs to be explored thoroughly is um there are areas here that are proposed as open areas, but working with HOAs. Uh, I'm on the HOA board in our neighborhood and there are things that HOAs control that are not public areas. So, how much of this will be limited by the HOA to members of that particular neighborhood and how much of it will be open to full community access? Uh, those are my questions. I thank you for your time. U, I appreciate your willingness to listen to us as citizens. Thank you.

Okay. Thank you very much. Is there anybody else that would like to add to the list here? Okay. Well, seeing that there's none at the moment, Weston, do you mind coming up back up and Brad if you need to and let's kind of address a lot of some of these questions here that these folks have. Hopefully I captured everything, but um catch me on something if I if I don't clarify it enough. Um there's some concerns around increased traffic. This neighborhood, it will um bring traffic. I think we recognize that and and I appreciate the concern. Um one thing that I would say about this development is the majority of these homes are rear loaded. And one of the benefits of a rear-loaded subdivision is that it moves the driveways to the rear portion and it limits the access points and interactions pedestrians can have with vehicles. The other thing, it creates a lot of open space and so there are a lot more spaces in this subdivision that children and pedestrians can interact and engage in um without having interactions with a vehicle. Now, I'm not minimizing pedestrian actions accidents. They happen. We we just heard a story that's a terrible experience. Um I'm definitely not uh in favor of any terrible accident happening. Um but I will say that this development is looking at that and trying to recognize a way to create an environment for people to um live and enjoy the area that they're in. Um the roadway along 2200 where the the homes are already existing. uh talking about widening there. Um generally if there's some existing homes that uh there is not a widening that has already

occurred that would be tied to generally there's some caveats to this but generally tied to a city project. Um so those homes there if that roadway has not been established it would be tied to traffic counts and traffic numbers and engineering looking at that and saying if it's on the city to widen we would go in and and take care of that as a project. If it's an area that um development will occur eventually um and um we can count on the development doing it, then the development will put that in. There are cases where the city recognizes that the road needs to go in and the city puts it in. Mayor, you referred to it earlier where um that happened on Gentile and so payback agreements are established to make sure that that's co that that is established and covered. Um the the heights um the majority of these units are twotory. I I guess I would turn to the developer and ask them to respond to the heights and what they're planning on putting in uh and express the the types of buildings that they're planning on showing. Um the a heritage um I I appreciate the concern about a heritage. The the intent of the a heritage is to allow for an option to preserve agricultural options. Now, that can be community gardens. There could be a broader concept to what that is, but it's also intended to preserve the agricultural ground that was there in an open space format. We recognized that um and when we went through the general plan process that Westlon is going to be built and a lot of people are coming and as farmers want to sell their ground, more growth is going to come. And so part of that was looking at it and saying there's got to be a way to preserve some open space. We recognize that we have a lot of open spaces that are passive that may not be my open space, but I enjoy looking out and recognizing that there is some room

between me and others. And so part of this is to preserve some of that open space. And that's what this ordinance does is is allows that 20% in here 22 whatever that percentage is to in open space to to preserve that ground to have some open space. I appreciate destinations thought process and trying to create um the parks that are a little bit more natural. Um and they can speak a little bit more to that when they get up if they want to. Um, traffic on Gentile. I just want to touch on on that for a second. Um, so in this section uh of of Gentile Street, the traffic has actually been reduced by 30% since um the West Davis corridor was in um went online. I'm not saying that Gentile is not a um busy road. We recognize it is a busy road. It's intended to hold traffic. Um, but the facilities of Leighton Parkway and the West AI corridor and Gentile and 2200, all those roads work together to facilitate that traffic to keep it off of the local roads. Um, as far as trails connecting, um, there was a comment, uh, tied to how are these, especially the power line corridor. So, we're creating a trail that, you know, quote unquote goes nowhere, right? This is how development occurs. Um, these are how a lot of these trails are established. This is part of our trails master plan to have a regional trail along that power corridor. This is the first step. Um, as developments occur, these through the PUD is a great tool for us to get the trails installed. Um, if if we don't have that as an option, then the city is required to put those in. And so it it takes a little bit more time to get

those facilities installed, but they are part of our plan. And so when we have development come forward, we look for those opportunities to work with developers to get those facilities in so that they can get in sooner rather than later. Um I skipped the egg heritage tied to the the bird habitat. I I appreciate um and recognize the concern for the the environment that's around. This is a this is a hard concern. This is a normal thing that occurs with development. As this subdivision comes in and as you know the subdivisions before it came in, there was a disturbance of some kind of local wildlife, birds and um and whatnot that are potentially um distributed to other parts of the city. This will create a lot of areas for trees and room for birds to grow. I realize the trees take time to grow, but this will facilitate a nice area for the natural environment. Um, tied to water shares. Uh, yes, we have a water concern. We we live in a uh an aid state and there are constantly concerns about that. Um, we do require specific water shares and and all that really is doing is saying you have rights to produce enough water to facilitate this site. That's what we can uh legally require. Now, the conversation of if that water comes off the mountain this year and we have enough water to supply everybody's water rights, that's a broader context that I can't really respond to. Um but what I can respond to is that we are actively making sure that this development is not just um facilitating the the water needs that it has, but that the open spaces are water-wise. Yes, there's going to be grass areas. We're showing the area in green as open space just to give a context, but we're not saying all that's going to be um all grass. This is there

are going to be significant areas that are water-wise designed. Um and it is a concern. Um I'm kind of skimming through my notes. Council, am I missing something that you wanted me to address that I haven't addressed? Well, I think developer would probably address the HOA open space even though you just touched on it, but as far as what their intent is. Um, zoning. The gentleman had a question regarding zoning.

So, you're I mean, it was a good question. Uh, so the zoning, the request is to go to an R110. An R110 zone is a standard single family residential zone that allows for 10,000 foot lots. The PUD component is an overlay on top of that. That PUD allows the developer to cluster or put together the homes in smaller formats. So, not having to use a 10,000 ft footprint, but then redistributing that that ground into open space. And that by doing that and um increasing the design quality of the homes, adding the open space, adding the amenities, all those things allow for um small increases in density, which get us to the 4.8 units per acre that, excuse me, 4.89 units per acre that they're at. Okay. The only other question I think that was asked was possibly and I mean this would be city property and that would be something that we'd have to decide but again you're talking a huge maintenance cost there is that is the open space with the detention basin probably converting it to um a playing space or soccer or whatever sports space.

Yeah. And I I would just say there's a broader conversation to that. the um it's it's specifically functioning as a regional detention basin for a reason and we need it to function that way. So um and then mayor, you actually had a question about uh uh connected bikeways. 2200 does list it as having a future bikeway and then we also have the regional trail. Yes, I love that. Okay, thank you. Any other questions?

If I could, mayor, just follow up. You talked about 2200 um with Mr. Jeepson's question. Um, I brought up a question. To the south of the development, uh, there's a place where on the west side of 2200 where two homes were just built this last year. The is the width of that road any narrower than the width of the finished road would be say up by one of the alpha alpha fields when it is finished or would that be equal? It should be equal. I'd have to zoom in and take a good look at that, but I don't see any reason why that road width should be any different. So, yeah. So, I guess the question is, take a look at it.

The evergreen um part on 2200 is the same same line as the curb and gutter would be in the new development. Does that make sense? Yeah, it does. That's correct. Yeah. Wherever to the south is on that east side. Brad, why don't why don't you stand up so you can be recorded.

Sorry, I was looking at my computer and trying to answer your question, but yeah, on on the east side of 2200, it'll line up with that curb, gutter, and sidewalk there. It the west side, there might need to be uh a city project in the future. So, just so I mean, I asked that question. There's not going to be a bottleneck where it gets narrower as you go south. Right. Right. Yeah. Especially like where if you're heading southbound on 2200 West, there's not going to be anything that will change with this development. Um it'll be the same as it is now. But when it comes to that northbound traffic lane, it won't be a bottleneck. It'll line right up the way it's supposed to. Okay.

Okay. Any other questions here? If not, I think we'd like the developer to stand up. I do have one question for him just because I kind of heard the concerns in our um public comment portion of our meeting and obviously you heard that we had proponents of dog parks and I know that this is a challenge. You guys have certainly looked at it, but the what if scenario, what if you can put one in, where would it most likely land in this development because I think that would be a concern here.

Sure. Uh Brandon Ames. I am a Leighton City resident as well and represent uh Larry H. Miller Real Estate and Destination Homes. Um I'm going there's some technical questions about that. Sean has been kind of managing this. I know he has chosen at least two places for dog parks. Thank you. Sean Aar H Miller Real Estate Destination Homes. Um I need a pointer. It's easier. Is there one that I can where we can see A, B, and C? Well, there's a pointer over here that he can use as well to kind of help all of us.

Try not to hit anyone in the eyes. Currently, there will be a dog park right in this region. Um, we try to keep our dog parks closer to the single family and town home units because of not having backyards for the dogs. And we are exploring the option of another one here and a smaller one in this area. Kind of analyzing those two spots right now. Excellent. So, we do we do know that there will be one in this parcel for sure. Okay, that works.

I just I I want to thank everyone for all their work. Staff has been incredible to work with and and it's been a long process, but I and I know a lot of time and effort has been put into this. And I do want to thank everyone who came to uh voice their opinions and their concerns. I think that that's really important. It it's what makes this country great and and a lot of people complain and they just complain on their couch and they but no one's willing to do anything. And I I always I think it's admirable. I try to tell my kids, you can complain as long as you followed up with what you're doing afterwards. So, um I I just want to thank everyone who came tonight. Um, and I and I want to express on behalf of uh, you know, the Miller family and Gail Miller is that change is difficult. We know that it's it's very challenging to deal with and we're all ch we're all challenged with handling it at a very fast rate right now in the state of Utah. Um, we're working on projects all over the state and uh it's very difficult to keep up with a housing demand that's 35,000 units short. And it's very difficult to manage the value and the and the cost of homes in the market when we are 35,000 units short. And that's a challenge and it's something that we talk about all the time. And Gail is very passionate about trying to solve that, which is why she purchased destination homes. One of the things that we've learned is that having uh developments and subdivisions that have just a continuous one type of home all the way through them, it's okay maybe, you know, if you have 10 acres or 20 or 30 homes or something like that, it but when you have a larger develop like development like this, it's really important to offer multiple housing types. uh we've seen now schools closing right in in the Wasatch front

because there are no more kids moving in or out of those developments. They're too homogeneous. And that's something that we've studied for a long time and and watched and that's one of the reasons why we do provide multiple housing types in a development is this development can live and grow and breathe throughout multiple life cycles, not just ours. and and that's something that we pay a lot of attention to and and that's why you see town homes in addition to single family homes.

Okay. Before you leave, just because uh you know it's a concern or people really are still trying to understand a heritage again and I apologize. I know you're probably the one that's working on most of these identified properties. um kind of explain the possibility of like a community garden or even stand up box gardening and where would that most likely land?

Sure. Yeah, that's something that we've considered for this site. Uh we would really like to implement it in this site. Uh we're we're kind of testing it right now in our trailside development which is on Gordon uh to see how responsive the community is because not every community responds the same to them. Um, and so we'd also don't want to waste resources and maybe go in and put it in and find out that it hasn't been useful. We are uh we are on the HOA board and will remain on the HOA board throughout the development and that's something that we hope to kind of watch and see and pay attention to and we definitely have the space to do that. Okay. Thank you. Ask

Yes. Go ahead. Um could you speak to um I believe one of the residents asked about um the possibility of the threetory structures. Could you speak to that? Would that be those town homes or are what on here considered the three? Probably correct me, but I don't believe we have any threetory structures in this development. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Any other questions? Oh, I have one more. Sure. Go ahead.

Um, so Mayor, you were asking about the dog park and potentially where those would be. Every green space within this community, though, that would be considered private or public. Yes, it is. It's private and HOA except for the trail systems that are like on the city property and the 10- foot wide trail that's intended to travel west and and along the corridor, you know, those are public use.

So, how whose responsibility is it? The HOA's responsibility to make sure that folks who do not live in this community are not accessing the dog park. And also for these communities that are stubbed into would that also preclude them from using those same amenities?

It is the HOA's responsibility. Um you know something like a dog park is a little easier where it's fenced and and people tend to know each other in the area and they know each other uh by visiting the dog park. Um the rest of the spaces, you know, will not be fenced or anything. you know, there's not like a a card or a gate to get into the grass areas. Um, I've never as I'm on quite a few HOA boards in our company and I I've never implemented like an actual policing system for that, but they are owned and maintained by the HOA.

So, just that follow-up question. So folks who are in this neighborhood where Alberta Spruce is up to the top or where this Sugar Pine Way is going to be added in, they have dogs or whatever and they the park is close to them. Are they able to access the same amenities? I mean, it's not technically their neighborhood, but the street is going to be connecting into their neighborhood. We try to post it's one of the things that you know unfortunately we have to do and as an HOA is make sure that it is posted as private property uh for legal rights and and legal reasons. Um but it won't be fenced.

Okay. Okay. If anyone else has any questions, the public hearing is still open. So if you'd like if you want to stand up to the mic, I know you raised your hand, but please come up to the mic. And once again, you have to state your name. I'll be brief. Um, Travis Baker, Leighton City resident. I was going to ask the same question that Councilman Councilwoman Smith asked. Um, but I I would like to say I hear lots of planning and lots of effort to make the new residents of this community have things. All the current residents see are downsides. So, no access to these green spaces, but increased traffic, things like that. Thank you.

Okay. Thank you. Okay. I know one of you guys, Tom, Toronto, Leighton City. Uh, I was going to ask what the uh for investors looking to purchase, is there a percent of the overall units that will be allowed to be sold to investors and what are the plans for that? Uh we do not have any deed restrictions right now on the on the property, but that's something that we would consider. We've done them in other developments as well, but all all units, including the uh town homes are all privately owned. Correct. Correct.

Or owner occupied, I should say. Owner occupied. Yeah. Okay. All righty. Go ahead. Just take just real quick. There's a difference between privately owned and owner occupied. Yeah, that's why I They can be privately owned and half of it could be owned by one company. Ju just a clarification. Okay, sir. Claude Young in Leighton. Uh my question is on affordable housing if there's a certain percentage that was supposed to be affordable housing and what's the price range that you're looking at is what is affordable.

Okay. That's not really on us, but

Ben Tate again, since they mentioned that they don't plan on two stories, I was just wondering if we could just pin that down because in the packet it does state threetory or twotory. If it could just be clarified that the developments are capped at twotory since there's no plans. I don't know what the process is for that. Go ahead. Yeah, go ahead. The reason that's called out as three stories is because that's what the code would allow. So, if the council would like it noted that it would be a twotory, um, that could be added to the development agreement. And obviously, we'd want to see if the developer would be amunable to that, but it's just stating code is all that is.

Okay. All right. Um, Brandon, do you mind speaking to the uh um not necessarily the affordability, but obviously the price range?

Sure. And and our intention, I think, would be just to follow the code for the zoning on the houses. I we don't have any plans right now for anything over threetory, but I uh I also think it'd be useful to note uh so we are developing this essentially in thirds starting on the south. And so the southwest corner will be the first street that's built and those I think it's probably about 20 homes will be built first and then we'll move uh east from there and then kind of start working our way from south to uh to north. Um there are some other reasons with Rocky Mountain Power and what re you know availability of utilities that we need to do that but that's a general plan if if anyone is wondering. Um, was the what was the question about affordability? Exactly.

Well, I think I think the question was obviously how are you going to, you know, address the affordability, but this is a privately owned, but I think the question also was what's a ballpark range that this these products will probably sell for. I know that that's only based upon demand and when it's developed because there's certainly inflation involved in there.

Yeah. Um we do have other projects where we're trying to address affordability where we're able to have small you know 800 to 1100 square foot homes that are just a slab on grade and um this we weren't able to do that here with you know there wasn't the ability to do that here so we're not trying to address necessarily what I would consider a $350,000 home here. Um, I don't know if I can get into exactly what I think the prices will be for the market for everything, but I I know it's not going to be considered affordable. Um, you know, as far as what the state considers affordable, we would love for it to be.

Yeah, I appreciate that. It's difficult to do that. Okay. Thank you.

Real quick, thank you for your time. Appreciate all the energy you've put into it. Uh, I do have a question kind of to the own the owner occupancy portion of that because it's something that as a council we've we've really feel very strongly about. Um, you know, some capital company coming in and buying an entire neighborhood. Uh, and then my kids actually don't own the house, they just rent it. So, how did we how do we facilitate home ownership in young Americans if it's owned by a capital group? So I I do would like just to know what you've done in the past with these deed restrictions and if you've had successes and things that we could maybe look at regarding that.

Yeah, we we have and we've done them in a in various ways. Um sometimes it's with time and percentage or there are things that we can do. We're very um being a Utah owned company and a you by a Utah driven family, we work really hard to create developments that are that are owner occupied and and not, you know, purchased by large corporations. Um so there are different ways that we've done that. I'd have to probably have our legal department uh kind of decide what type of language to add in the MDA for this specific one, but that would be our goal is to, you know, sell to uh my kids who are currently looking for somewhere to live and would love to live in Leighton.

Okay. Thank you. Any other questions? I had a question for Weston. Um, I I wrote down the phrase trails to nowhere when someone was speaking. Just uh just wondering in our active transportation plan, is there a plan for a trail through the power corridor or any other connections of note? Yeah, that trail that corridor uh is planned to have a regional trail through the whole section of Leighton. Um and other cities are um planning to have that to be a trail as well. Okay. Thanks. power corridor.

Mayor M, could I just make um what I believe are some clarifications? Um so to Mr. Young's question about how much of this is this development is considered affordable housing. I think the answer to that was zero. So this is not an affordable housing community, which is what was just represented. Um, I know there are some assumptions behind that which we won't get into today, but this is not this is not that. Um, and then I just wanted for the benefit of those of you here and also those who are live streaming or will replay this on the city planning website. We do have master parks plans, master trails plans, like we have plans of all of the things that the city wants to do from now into, you know, years into the future. And so even with the um the statement right of the trails to nowhere, there are plans and maps of all of this information is online and with the Wasatch Front Regional Council. we participate in the active transportation plan that is a regional plan. So we're not just creating things um that don't connect but we're in conjunction with the cities that are around us. So Clearfield, Syracuse, Kisville, you name it. These plans we come together to kind of create a network so that while you are going from one trail to another, you are not ending at a dead end. But all of this is available on our planning website and you can get links to that as well. So I just wanted to make sure that we all are aware of that and I know sometimes we don't know. So thanks. Good comment.

Okay. All right. Well, if there's no other no further discussion, um council, I'll bring it back to you then to take action regarding our um annexation and reszone request for the Stevenson Field subdivision. Um, what I'd ask of you to do is to close the public hearing and then uh take action regarding or ordinance 25-11 and ordinance 2512 and also call out resolution 25-53. Yeah. Or you can say what I said. Get up. Madame Mayor, I'd like to make a motion that we adopt resolutions 25-1, 25-12, 25-11. Sorry, those are out of order

in my eyes. And resolution 25-53 and close the public hearing. Hearing. Okay. Thank you very much. Okay. Um, I'll go ahead and do a roll call vote on this. Oh, excuse me. I need a second. Good point. Okay, it's second. Is there any other discussion? Otherwise, I'll uh Absolutely.

Thank you. Um, so a lot of times when we're doing annexations and reszone requests, we're doing that and then other things happen later. Um, we have a development agreement before us right now, which basically is just what we see, right? what we've seen on screen today with no changes. So, approving this today, does that mean that there's no opportunity for a tweak here or there, if the developer and city staff, based on comments and information and questions we had tonight, what is, and maybe this is for Clint, I don't know. Yeah.

But what is the opportunity for minor tweaks and changes if we approve this tonight? council. All right. Legal council. All right. You're just letting me answer because I had to walk all the way down here, right?

Um Yeah. So, if so, if if you pass resolution, you know, 2553 tonight, then that would be the development agreement, but a development agreement can always be modified in the future and it would just go through the same public hearing process. And so if um if there was if it it was determined by you know a city staff working with the developer or if there was a request that came up and the city council wanted to amend that development agreement um you know after executing it then that's always a possibility. Yeah. So just just to be clear just to answer you minor changes yes

substantial changes no and without consent of the developer your I hate to put it this way but your uh the moment that you have the most leverage is right now. So, if there are things in this plan that you want to see different or if there are things that you want to see that you feel like should be considered or changed or or looked at by the developer, then that now is the time because yes, once this is approved, this is substantially approved, right? And I guess that was what my point was with like the owner occupancy because we can't, right? So, if you if you want to make that a condition,

then that needs to happen tonight. They could always voluntarily agree to that, but they would not be required to.

So, that begs the discussion here. If that might be the point of concern, you could ask the developer to answer that at this time, if that's what you guys so choose. Well, and I think he I think he answered that they've done it. So, it's not something that is not in the question, but I my concern would be without knowing what actually to ask for at this time, would it be prudent for us to, you know, really understand a little bit more about what we should be asking for in that owner occupancy? Um, like if we said, "Oh, we want to make sure that that's a part of it." Sure, that's a part of it, but what does that actually mean? And how are we guaranteed that? And that may not be the only thing. I'm just using that as an example, but how do how are we guaranteed that we are asking for what we really want? Does that make sense? Council,

I mean, I think those are good questions. And if if that is a concern of the council, then that's something that you would want to have. you would definitely want that discussion tonight.

Yeah. And I could address that a little bit too. Um I I personally I'm not I would say um a fan of having single family homes bought up and rented and having the whole thing, you know, having a neighborhood uh being owned by a corporate rental company. I don't think anybody really um is a fan of that. Um, I would say that if we were to do that, it would be contrary to than to how all of the other subdivisions in this area have functioned where um, I'm not aware that any of these subdivisions in this area have an owner occupancy requirement where the owner has to own and occupy the home. So, for example, if anybody lived in these neighbors in in in any of the surrounding neighborhoods, um you know, in speaking of, you know, just the free market and and the opportunity to choose what you want to do with your own property, they could move away from their home and still rent that home out or they could sell it to a corporate entity. And so I I think it's important to to recognize that and still to to weigh that in in in the decision on what you want to do as a council if if that is something that you would want to impose, you know, to this development specifically um when it isn't something that we're requiring of any other subdivision in the area.

Okay, that's good point. Yes. Well, I'm just thinking um appreciate that and you're correct. Um, but I also do think that we have experience where we maybe should have done that and didn't because we didn't know. And so we do have another another area in the city where something similar has happened and we don't necessarily want that to happen again. Um, but I do understand the point on the single family side. I'd be more interested maybe in that specific to the town homes because I think that's where the concern comes into play largely. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. Brandon, do you want to go ahead and maybe speak to some of your past knowledge on this just to help educate us?

Yeah. Um I might say that uh I think that that could be a longer conversation to figure out the details on but I have done this where it can be conditional upon adding language in the MDA that it and then it says you know all efforts will be made to work with the city to come up with a proper language for that. I don't think I can come with come up with that exactly on the spot right now. But I think a you know conditional approval maybe with something that that says that we will make all efforts to work something out with the city is is a way that I have done that before. Um and I think I think it's appropriate on the town homes. I I I think my gut is that this community price point may not attract a lot of corporate buyers. Uh not that we're trying to make it a high price point. We're not we're trying to offer town homes so that our kids have somewhere to live, but just the nature of the location and and kind of the nature of the development with as much open space and the quality of the build that we do, I we have not really encountered that in any of our developments so far in Leighton. Um, but so I maybe conditional would be if if it's something that the council really wants to see. Uh, or maybe we can just talk about it and see how many want to see it in there. I'm I'm open to just I think that's why we're here.

Have the conversation and and uh come up with a plan to move forward. Okay. Council member Morris.

Yeah. Just um Excuse me. I I don't know that we want to make that determination tonight. I I would rather have a broader discussion on unintended consequences of doing to to Brad's point uh as well. I don't we it sounds great, but we don't want it. And you know, it was there was a a bill that was died in the legislature this last legislative session wanting to ban all and and I'm not for it. I'm not. We we have we have areas in the city right now just above Highway 89 that's a beautiful little neighborhood. It's all rentals owned by a company in California. Uh so I'm not advocating that. Just the the idea you you have so someone comes in and buys the town home a young family and now they want to they're growing and they want to move. they might want to rent their town home and then move into another another and and just kind of continue that progression in their in their so again we ought to have a broader discussion before we decide to say yeah town homes tonight I don't think that'd be prudent so that's my thought on that

mayor if I may add something absolutely um and I'll I'll lean on our legal counsel for this comment as well but it is my understanding the state law does not allow us to re regulate whether it's owner occupied or not. That's kind of the big crux of this, right? So what what the broader conversation is is there room to say a large corporation can purchase these units. There might be something in that. And again, I'd have to lean on Clint, but state code does not allow us to say these are required to be owner occupied. That can't be part of the development agreement or the decision that we're making tonight, unfortunately.

So just just a comment and comment here. Um I just had a quick discussion with the developers representative And I'll recap it. Um I asked him um what is more likely to be investor purchase, single family homes or town homes? I think we know the answer to that. It's the town homes. I asked him what would be an appropriate um if it would be appropriate to ask for a percentage and if they'd be willing to do that. Um he said that he thinks that it's um reasonable to do a restriction of 75% of the town homes be owner be sold as owner occupied as part of it wouldn't be in perpetuity which I agree with him. you it's really hard to restrict land for imper for in perpetuity but uh for a portion of time that it would be um there would be an owner occupied restriction that would get you 75% of the town homes and based on their experience and uh I think really just common sense usually those those higherend single family homes are not what investors are purchasing anyway it's usually more the town homes so if that's something that would achieve your goal that might that's something they said they'd be willing to to agree to.

Okay, that's good. Okay, you want to continue the discussion? Sorry. Did you hear Weston's um question about I only heard part of it, so I didn't hear the question. Um and maybe it wasn't a question, it was a a statement. Yeah, restated. I don't want to misquote you. Please, could you go back to your seat for a minute? He's gonna get his steps in. He will get my steps in. Um, I just mentioned that state law uh precludes us from uh requiring that it be owner occupied. The de the developer can offer that, right? They're welcome to offer that, but we can't require it. What I'm saying is is that they're he's telling me they're willing to agree to that. That's very amical,

I think. And it's a good solution here on the spot for us. I I did tell him, he didn't ask for this, but I did tell him that if they got into their if if it were approved by the council and I and it got into that development and it just wasn't feasible that it was killing their development, that that's something that we would bring back to the council to to to consider. But it doesn't sound like it would be. It sounds like 75% is something they think is manageable and and would work for this. Okay. So then what that would do tonight is bring it back and look if you want to modify your um

so if the ca if the council did want to do that if if the council did want to do that you could just mo just amend your your your motion to include um that the HOA would um the developer and the HOA would restrict um uh owner occupied units um to set um no more and or sorry, no more than 25% or 75% owner occupied. Um, and the only thing I couldn't say is is that I don't know for the the limit of time. So, I would just give staff the discretion to be able for us to do our research on that and do a reasonable amount of time. So, you could just say what I just said. Did you get that, Kim? That's my motion.

So, just let me help it out. So, just you don't have to say anything about that. Time out. And I don't mean to be rude, but somebody's got to say something. I got a question. Oh, yeah. You mentioned something. You mentioned that into perpetuity there needs to be a time frame. Shouldn't there be on the town homes? Yeah. And and that was part of what I said is that I You did. Yeah, I did. I I I said that give give staff the ability to do research and find what is common practice and and work with the developer on a reasonable time. But really I think what's even just the first town homers town home purchaser is great,

right? Um but yeah, we okay we would and I just I'm hesitant to say the length of time without looking at what the market is dictating and what what's happening elsewhere. So to council Smith Edmonson had a question and then I can help you with the motion if if this doesn't change something. Okay. Okay. Sorry y'all. I'm just on one. That's okay. No, this is why we have this discussion and why I promise these folks that we would vet it out thoroughly and I appreciate you guys taking the time and really questioning this so that you feel good about your decision.

Yeah. So I I agree with Councilman Morris, you know, in the assessment of maybe a family. I mean, we are right outside the base and a lot of base families, a lot of military families come here, don't want to live on base, they buy a home. I had a town home outside of the base and then they want to buy a house and maybe they're going to rent it and you know

so I think I'm more in favor of figuring out how we could do something around the big corporation purchases because I think that's a bigger issue where you have a corporation that is buying x number of town homes and renting them out, but state law prohibits this. I I think the only way I think the only way you can address that is by designating it owner occupied and that doesn't help. Okay. Yep. Okay. I think I think we're at a point and you Yeah. And and you're right. Right. And and if I could

let's go ahead and go back to the motion on what what you're saying they could do this and and and maybe what's even reasonable for the developer and for the for the community is just that because they can only control what they can control when they sell it. And so for that first purchase 75% of the purchases of town homes will be owner occupied. Sounds like that's what they've done. So without a time frame just cuz once once they've sold 100% of this product they they will they're not here anymore. They're it's they don't own anything. They they don't have the control to be able to do that. Okay.

So with that then the motion would be if if this is what you want to do council member Roberts is mo the motion would you don't have to restate what you already said. to say amend your motion to include that 75% of the town homes will be owner occ sold to owner occupied purchasers. Um I don't know how the council feel all the council feels. I I'd rather make it as an amendment and we vote on that. I don't know. Or or is the whole council okay with that amendment? Well, that that's what I'm saying is you make the amendment, it would require a second and a vote.

Yeah. do it that way. Okay. Yes. Okay. So, I would amend my motion as Mr. Drake stated to require that require or work with the land owner or the developer that 75% of the town homes were owner occupied on the first sale. Correct. Okay. I have a point of clarification. Since we're only voting on the amendment, can I do a yay or nay or do I still need to do individual? So, what it would just Sorry, I I misspoke. What it would be is if there's a second if if if there's a second on this amendment, then it would be his first motion plus the amendment.

Amendment and then I'd do a roll call vote. Okay, that makes according to Robert's rules of order. I don't think you vote on the amendment first. Your rules. We're not amending the motion. And I'm voting on the amendment or I'm proposing an amendment to the motion. Yeah. Sorry. The way I was thinking it is you're basically adding to your first motion and then separate vote just to I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'll do a roll call vote on just the amendment, which the amendment is to

Well, no, I'm clearly stating Well, Tyson, go ahead and restate it so everybody's aware of it and then I'll look for a second on that motion and then I'll do a roll call vote. So, I motion that we amend my original motion to state that 75% of the town homes would be owner occupied on the first sale. Very well stated. Is there a as part of the development agreement? Yeah, that that will be included as part of the development agreement. Okay, there's a motion and a second. So, now I'll do a roll call vote on this. I'll start out with Council Member Roberts. Yes. Council member Thomas.

Hi. Council member Morris. I. Council member Smith Edmonson. I. And council member Bloxom. Okay, there you have it. It's unanimous on the owner occupancy. Now, I'll entertain the original motion for the public hearing of the Stevenson'sfield subdivision with ordinance. Do you want to state them or do you want me to go ahead? Go ahead and restate your motion. Let's adopting ordinance 2511, 2512, and resolution 2553. Okay. Is there a second on that motion?

Second. Okay. Thank you, Council Member Thomas. Second it. Again, I'll do a roll call vote on this. I'll start out with Council Member Morris. I uh Council Member Thomas, I. Council member Smith Edmonson. I Okay. Council member Roberts. Um I'm Before I vote, I'd like to share a story. That's okay. Do you have explain my vote?

I think it is personally. Um, first of all, I want to thank all of you for being here. Um, for your for being at the planning commission meetings, for signing petition, the petition, for sharing your personal stories. Um, Mr. and Mrs. Baker, you got me. Um, made me think of my nine-year-old twins. Um, and I I don't want you to feel um like you haven't been listened to. I appreciate the process. Um, but I I remember a Leighton where uh I remember what I believe is the first subdivision in Leighton and uh Lauren, you grew up in it. Um, that's the first place I ever saw sidewalks. And for a skateboarder growing up, that's that's something big. But, uh, um, and my reason for sharing that is it's a lot different Leighton than it was back then. It's a lot different lat than my grandfather saw, my dad saw. And and I hope that uh that all the discussion we have is and knowing that Leighton is changing and developments change as we go along um that we're trying to address and and staff is doing their best to address the concerns of of traffic and um safety and all of all of the concerns that have been brought up. I sympathize with you. Um, but that that first subdivision that I I talk about, um, with the addition to it, there's about 200 or so homes in it. And about, uh, about 10 years ago, there

was a another subdivision that happened to the east of that. And it it actually made a connection, a direct connection from that neighborhood to Leighton Parkway. And there was a huge concern about the added traffic in in that it would take on that those small streets. And I'll I'll say I I take my kids to friends through that road and very rarely do I see more than one car on that road. So, I know it will increase traffic, but I with my vote, I hope that the impacts will be little. And I I believe that's what I've seen in as I've watched Leighton develop. There's a lot of subdivisions now, and there's stub roads on most of them, and and eventually those are going to be connected. But I just want to express that I I hope you don't feel not listened to. Appreciate you you being here and participating. But mayor, I would vote yes.

Thank you, Council Member Bloxom.

Yeah, I appreciate that, Councilman Roberts. Um, I appreciate this is how the process is supposed to work, both from the the community and also from the developer. We we see a lot of developers come in here and have said some things to us at that p at that podium that have been offensive uh and totally unbecoming of public discussion. So I appreciate the the way that you have handled yourself. But to the residents first and foremost, I mean I I I appreciate all the emails. I read them all. I appreciate all the discussions and the phone calls. Um and I appreciate all of the great comments that you've had. um because they do matter. I appreciate you taking your time because they do matter. Um and we do listen and we make sure that the staff understands that as well and that if there's a difference of agreement or position on this dice. Uh I they know I don't like PRUDs. They know I vote I don't like them. I I understand why they're there. I understand the purpose of them. Uh, this one got about as close as it could get to getting me to vote yes, but I just can't do it because I just don't feel like uh the density issue is is is feasible for this area of of Leighton. And so that's not to say that my colleagues are wrong necessarily. It's just reasonable people disagree. Um, and so I just appreciate the comments. I appreciate helping me think think through this and for all of this the the the smart discussion that we've had. So with that me madame mayor I vote no. Um, but with the understanding I do appreciate uh all of the work gone through and I I really do hope that this development to your point elder pres uh Councilman Roberts that it will uh have and be good development for all these new future residents who will come into the city and it also will be a place that people who live on their surrounding areas will also look to it that it didn't have the same outcomes

that they were worried about that we can still hope for for optimism. And so with that, mayor, Madame Mayor, I vote no. Okay. I I was gonna say that's a vote. Did you still want to make a comment even though I'll That's okay. I'll allow it before I make final judge.

I I appreciate my colleagues. Um the this process is is difficult. You know, it's difficult. You're here because it's difficult. it's where you live. Um, we came together, it's been 10 years ago, uh, and re authorized our general plan, updated it, and invited the community. And we had all the meetings, and you may have heard this, and and and cities get to get to do that. They have to have a general plan of how the city's going to maybe look like in the future. It's general. It's not specific. It's general, but what it looks like in the different areas, what we'd like to see. And that was brought before all of you. Uh not necessarily you, but those who were involved in in the uh in the update. And as part of that update, we had options for those that wanted to build in the city, in this city, uh, for property owners, for developers. That was also part of this. You saw some of that tonight with the with the overlay. Those are all options given. It's not something new. It's it's it's it's there for a reason, and we we voted to to allow that. I look at this here, and they are beautiful neighborhoods. These are beautiful neighborhoods. These are good people. You're good people. People want to live here. If they didn't want to live here, this wouldn't be happening. We're going to have good people move into our city. And through this process, I think this is a better product, a better development because of you, because of your input, because of

working with the staff, the staff working with the with the developer. You might not feel like it tonight, but this is a better development, and that's why I voted to allow this to to continue. Um lastly, this we do three things as a city. You've heard me say it. One, we we provide essential services. Two, a a place people a hometown you want to you want to live in, you want to come home to in the evening you're proud of being from. The third thing is this land use stuff and it's hard and it's our authority, your authority, your opportunity to do this for us to to visit with them and them and and to give them direction and then with the staff is being eroded at the state level. And I don't know what this looks like in the future, but I don't want to have the state legislature, executive branch, however it this things morph into that now they come in and say, "Yep, right there, that looks like that 75 acres. We can put in threetory town homes and apartments and whatever we want to do because we got to have it because people need to move here." That discussion is happening at the state level. Um and and the the Utah League of Cities and Towns is trying to thort it off and council members and councils trying to do what we can to to keep that to keep this zoning authority local. It won't affect this, but the future look around. Look around. It'll affect that if we can't if if we don't have we're able to do this. And so I

doesn't make us feel better tonight. Um, yeah, those are those are my thoughts. Sorry, but I get excited about that. I want to keep this local for us. Okay. I think what you've heard here is uh just so you know, it's part of Robert's rules of order that the council can justify or want or if they dis want to elaborate on their choice of the vote that that's what they were doing here. So, I I I appreciate their thoughts. Um I'm one that does not like to repeat. I wholeheartedly appreciate the process and I appreciate you folks being here and again, you know, the interaction and and also the fact that tonight what I I witnessed which has not taken place before was that it was a developer on the spot willing to work with us. A lot of times it's a lot of back and forth, but the fact that he came up with a solution for us tonight, I have to commend you on that. Um, but with that, I need to rule on the uh vote, which for the Stevenson's field subdivision, it was a 4 to one vote, four in favor, one against. So, um, that I need to actually make sure. Did we close that public did you say you closed the public hearing? Okay. I know that discussion took place long ago. Okay. So that that does conclude then our uh meeting for this evening and um council I don't think does anyone have any unfinished business? If not I will just say thank you everyone for being here. Thank you for all those online that was willing to listen. And I would entertain a motion to adjurnn. Motion to adjurnn. Okay. Is

there a second? Thomas Saxon. Okay. Thank you. I'll acknowledge that. Thank you everyone. And uh again, be safe. Enjoy the holidays. Participate in all the things that the city has to offer. Thank you.
