Planning Commission - Regular Meeting

That might be Yeah, that's not too terribly old, but still. Yeah, it's funny. I mean, I listen to the new stuff and there's some songs that I think some of them are going to but it's not timeless. Yeah, some of them are going to stay. There's some that will. So, sure. But that's by like serious set to listen. Sometimes they'll do one hit wonders. Okay. Oh man, that's the best cuz you're going, "Really? They only had one hit?" I just watched a documentary on Linda's death. That's fascinating. Neil Sedaf had just passed. I thought Neil Sadath stuff. He was such a good writer. And he was saying a good girl, but he was good writer. Yeah. Well, so did Wayne Newton, but

Oh, Wayne Newton. We went and saw the uh Neil Diamond musical. Oh, yeah. That was funny. Yeah, that was really fun. Yeah, great. It was a good show. You need to watch the documentary on Linda Ross. I love Linda Rod. Well, I will. She has Parkinson. Yeah, she hasn't been able to perform for a long time. So, I would like to I think the Prime Prime look it up and see. Check it out because I love her. Me, too. I love I saw one the Jackson Brown. It wasn't that great, but watching me. Oh, my husband has and his boy not you can see why

I didn't it was a really good documentary you were actually

I don't know but that's always the lacking is always the issue and depending on the demographics in the building like there's no way how they could have that much that was quite the show there. Hey, we need to start at 6 o' Yes, please. Yeah, let's get started. I guess we'll I guess we'll open the meeting now. We'll begin with the pledge of allegiance. Please stand.

I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you very much. Can I get a roll call? Chair Anderson here. Vice Chair Ericson here. Commissioner Tiffens here. Commissioner Snow excuse is excused. Commissioner Edwards here. Commissioner Lkey here. Commissioner Brocky here. Thank you.

Thank you. So, we're going to get started with our chair and vice chair elections. So, will you head out? Yes. I will just um just go through our bylaws real quick just so that everyone is on the same page and that we don't have any hiccups.

Hey, can you make it a little bigger? So this is the page out of our bylaws and I marked it up a little bit just so that you can skim through it. Um so you remember we changed these. So the change basically meant that everyone can nominate everyone can be chair or vice chair. It doesn't matter if you are a member or an alternate and everyone can also vote. So that's the first thing. Then we first nominate for chair and then we do the voting for the chair and once that has settled that we have a chair then we do the same thing for the vice chair. Um, also if um you were nominated for chair and you weren't elected, that means you can be nominated again for vice chair. And each time someone is nominated, um, Chair Anderson will just confirm with the person who was nominated if they actually accept the nomination. and would accept being chair or vice chair if they were um elected. Um and once we have all the nominations

then there there's a motion that just approves these nominations just so that it's present for everyone who was nominated. Um with the voting uh we we do you know the we use the mechanism that we changed to about a little bit over a year ago. So everyone gets a piece of paper and you have those in front of you. You just write write down who you are and who you are voting for and then Elizabeth will pick up all the votes, bring them to Katie, and then Katie will read them into the record and then we know, you know, who was hopefully elected right away. If in order to be elected, you need to have a minimum of four votes. Um, if it's less than four, then we do a second round. And the difference between the first and the second round is that the person who has the who had the fewest votes gets dropped. And so that's the same system for chair as it is for vice chair. And then when we've gotten through that, then we're done. and whoever got elected will then be chair and vice chair for the next meeting. So this meeting will still happen under current chair and vice chair and uh commissioner Ericson our vice chair is sick but she is participating virtually.

How does she vote? So, very good question. Instead of um filling out a paper copy, she will just send a message to Katie and then Katie will read it into the record just like the votes on paper. It's kind of like a mail in ballot. Exactly. Totally. That's me. Any questions? Okay. Okay, then I will open for nominations. I would like to make a a nomination of Shane Litkkey as chair.

I accept. Oh, I was just going to say, okay, I make a nomination for Commissioner Edwards. Okay, Mike. Sure. Okay. Thank you. So, we've got two. We don't need any more. I mean, really, we just have a vote now. No, unless it's any unless there's another nomination, but seeing none.

Okay. So we write this down and Dan. So yeah, you write it down. Elizabeth collects and then Katie will read into the record. Thank you. Oh, we forgot to confirm the nominations. What does that mean? So they said they would. Yes. Um, so that's a Oh, motion to approve. Sorry. The pool of nominees. So,

would I be voting? Yes. Yes. Yes. Oh, so we So So, uh, make a motion to approve the pool of nominees. Any votes? Give me one second. I'll second. All in favor? I I Okay, there we go. That was better.

Do you want me reading first and last name or like chair, commissioner, so and so voted for first and last name? Yeah. Okay. I I don't think you necessarily need as long as there's no potential for mixups. Okay. So, Commissioner Brocky voted for Commissioner Edwards. Commissioner Oh, nope. I read that backwards. I'm so sorry. Commissioner Edwards voted for Yes. Wait, is it the bottom one is the voting commissioner and the top one is the person they voted for? Okay. Yes. Yes. Okay.

Yeah. Okay. So, Commissioner Brocky voted for Commissioner Edwards. Commissioner Lidkey voted for Commissioner Brocky. No, that's backwards. And somebody wrote on theirs backwards. Yes. Okay. So, the top the top is um who the vote is for. Yeah. And the bottom is who the vote is from. Yes. Okay. So what? One person wrote theirs backwards. Okay. Uh just to confirm, we're voting on two. No, but we're only voting for chair right now. Two ballots currently. I've given I shouldn't be doing. Okay.

Just one ballot. Retract the one that's not for chair real quick. Sorry. So this is for chair chair. Chair now is for chair. Got it. Okay. So Okay. Let's try that again. Let's let's start. Commissioner Brocky has voten voted for Commissioner Lkey. Chair Anderson has voted for Commissioner Edwards. Commissioner Edwards has voted for Commissioner Edwards. Commissioner Lidkey has voted for Commissioner Lidkey. And Commissioner Tippets has voted for Commissioner Lkey. So we have three votes for Commissioner Lidkey and two voter Edwards. That's a good

mic. I haven't. Oh, so we have three and three. Three votes for Commissioner Edwards. Uh, Commission Vice Chair Ericson has also voted for Commissioner Edwards. So, we're split down the middle. We are. Yes. Well, taking another vote without another person here isn't going to make any difference unless someone changes their vote. Unless Yeah. So, and I'm willing to withdraw. Want to withdraw? Doesn't matter. Yeah. I don't know.

You want to do a How do you guys feel? Do you want to Is anybody You want to try another one? Territory. I mean, that's what you're going to have to do because you you'd have to have four votes to be put. So, you withdrawing wouldn't give him the four votes anyway. Oh, okay. All right. But we would have to rebuff. Yes. Yes. Okay. But can you go back? Well, I think you have to test. Okay. Okay. Then never mind. I take it back. Let's vote. Let's vote again.

So, you're still voting for the commission. The chair. The chair. I mean commission. Hello. almost feels like it' be easier somehow. Don't make this hard. Well, I was just glad that I wasn't like should we Thomas?

Congrats people. Thank you very much for participating. It's on my next agenda. Okay, let's Did we get a chance to look at some minutes? Can we get those approved? I'll make a motion to approve the minutes of February 11th, 2026. Second the motion. All in favor? I

thank you. Okay, we are going to have a public hearing and first item is Midville City initiated text amendment to fix clerical errors in the use in the use table of section 17-7-7.2 17-7- 12.2 and 17-7-13.2 two of the Midville City Municipal Code. Liz, yes.

Okay, for those of you that were with us last September when this came before you, we had an amendment. I have just You think I do these things? Yes, it is turned on. all those paperwork. Okay. So, uh the table on the left is what is existing currently in the code. So, you'll see just under transportation facilities. I left that one in as an idea that sometimes we have a heading and then things that go underneath it on the use table and that's how these vehicle related uses used to be. It used to say vehicle related uses and then all those listed below rental sales minor sales major filling and repair and when we made that change the heading got removed and vehicle didn't get added. So that is what is going in in this new amendment so that all those uses now say vehicle rental, vehicle sales, f vehicle filling station etc. Um so your text amendment criteria uh clerical error on my part when I brought you the amendment last time and um that is all. Any questions for me?

Okay, thank you. Okay, we'll open this to the public. Um, seeing no public comments, I uh move that we close the public portion of this second. All in favor? I. Thank you very much. Second. What was that? I I'll go ahead and make a motion. I move that we recommend approval of the amendment as provided in the attachments with the finding noted in the staff report. I second. Can I get a roll call? Chair Anderson, yes. Vice Chair Ericson, yes. Commissioner Tippetsz, yes. Commissioner Litkkey, yes. Commissioner Edwards, yes.

Commissioner Brocky, yes. Thank you. The motion passes.

Okay. Okay. Next is Midbell city initiated code text amendment modifying the title 16 and section 17-4-3 of the Midbail municipal code to come into compliance with requirements of the Utah state legislate legislation legislature something the legislature. So from the title, this is in a way a housekeeping item in the legislative session. The city's basically got told a few things. And the main change in this um in this action item we have here is that the legislature told the cities that for subdivisions when you have the engineering review, the civil engineering, you can either do that with the preliminary plat or the final plat. You can't do it in both spots. So um so we looked at our ordinance and tuned it up from that perspective. But that's not the only and that's actually um let me go here. That's this is one of the spots um where actually wait a minute. This here is one of the spots where you can see it. This is in the under the final subdivision plat approval and we took out all the language that has to do with engineering. Um and there are a few other little little spots where that was the reason why the language changed. Um otherwise though we did a lot of housekeeping and let me start at the beginning here. So

the first housekeeping item that's sort of more internal um is this under the powers and duties section. Um you might remember also due to legislative changes at the state level um subdivisions don't go to city council anymore. And as part of that um the cities had some choices and in Midvil we settled on that the planning commission approves the preliminary plat for each subdivision. And you know that is in title 16 but in title 17 um where just sort of summarizes the powers and duties of the planning commission. It never really got incorporated into that. So we tuned that up a little bit. So that's paragraph D there that you as the planning commission approve or deny the preliminary subdivision application and the old language was that you recommend to the city council. Then the other item that's also it's nothing new but since this summarizes your powers and duties we added on under paragraph F the street vacations and you might remember we had an item on this just at the last meeting. So, so this is just for completeness. This is already, you know, ingrained in chapter 12, but for completeness, it probably should be shown here. So, that's the one housekeeping item. Then you will probably find around 30 or 40 references that have changed. So whenever the SCA state code is referenced in our ordinance,

you know, we need to make sure that the section is correct. And unfortunately the state of Utah decided to um recotify part of the state code. And that this I guess this time it that principle of recottification got applied to the planning enabling law. It used to be in chapter 10 on title 10, chapter 9A and then you know section whatever 105 or so and all of that has changed now it's in title 10 chapter 20 and they also reshuffled things a little bit. Um, so you when it if it was 10 9A 604 that doesn't mean it's 1020 604. For example, the one where the green arrow is, it's it went from 10 9A 604.2 to 102806. It is just the way it is. And so you'll see that in the future whenever we have something that we bring in, all of these will get fixed. Um, and we may at some point come in just with the entire rest rest of title 17 and fix all of these things. Um, then another little um just readability thing and we've done this in previous uh text amendments as well. um whenever a number was spelled out we are changing the numbers to digits. So instead of 50 f I fy it's now 50.

And there are also quite a few spots where that um occurred. We already talked about this here. This is really the main um driver behind all of this. And here's this is another policy aspect that we while we reviewed this some you could say stumbled over somewhat. This is private streets. Um the current language allows within the same rightway two options for a private street. And um you could either have a sidewalk on each side or what you see in the deleted box on the bottom, a 4-ft sidewalk and a 5-ft park strip just on one side. And on the staff's end, our thinking was in this day and age, we really don't want to have any streets that um don't really accommodate for people with disabilities, which you know, if you have a private street, you have houses fronting on both sides, why should the one side have a sidewalk but the other side doesn't? It's just a safety issue, especially if if you have a disability. So that we put that in here as well. And the last item, this is just a heads up, boundary line adjustments have changed as well. Um, that's a relatively short section, our current ordinance, but there have been quite a few changes, so you'll see that in the future. And that's really everything that there

is to this change. I mean, it basically clicks all the usual criteria in our zone amendment section in the code. Um, do you have any questions? question I have is when you go back to any of those that say ordinance and then they list a date up there at the very bottom says ordinance 2024-30 is that still current or does that need to be updated where uh like the codifying changed?

Yeah. So those that basically gives you a history what whatever changed. So when if this goes through, if the city council approves it, then you'll you'll find additional citations with the ordinance from 2026. Thank you. So you're welcome. Um if there aren't any other questions, um as staff, we recommend approval of this. Thank you, Vandal. You're welcome. This is a public hearing. I'll open that up to that.

Seeing there's no one, I make a motion we close the public hearing. Second. All in favor? I not going to be used to that. No kidding. Somebody make a motion. I move that we recommend approval of the Midville city initiated code text amendment modifying title 16 and section 17-4-3 of the Midvil Municipal Code to come into compliance with requirements of the Utah State Legislature. I second. Could I have a roll call? Chair Anderson. Yes. Vice Chair Ericson. Yes. Commissioner Tippetsz. Yes. Commissioner Ludkkey. Yes. Commissioner Edwards. Yes.

Commissioner Brocky. Yes, the motion passes. Thank you. Okay, let's have a staff update and other business.

So, I just wanted to let you know um how our future meetings are going to go. We have a meeting um in two weeks. Uh the first meeting in April is um basically during the APA conference. sits on the first day of the conference and since there are so many of us who are gone uh on commission side and also on the staff side we will cancel that meeting. Um and um with regard to the conference uh Katie has um packets that you need to sign for the reimbursements um especially the the travel and PDM. So she'll um contact you about that. And that's everything I have.

Thank you. Would you like to adjourn? Seeing as there's nothing else, I'd move that we adjourn at 6:29 p.m. Second. All in favor? I I thanks. Thank you. So next time we vote rank choice voting you did ranked choice voting they go to pull them out you know Yeah.
