1:49 – 2:310

Yeah. Uh Trish Dlo with planning staff presenting uh cup 2023-116. Um you guys had seen this in a previous meeting. Um you tabled it for concerns of traffic in in the area. Um and we did find out uh that there are already access lanes off of 36. Um, okay. Ingress and egress lanes. So, um, Excel and Del lanes. Um, so I I believe that's the only thing that we were really worried about there. So, the traffic study, it already took care of that. So, is there any other questions or anything on that?

2:29 – 3:140

Anyone have any questions? Um, I did notice when I went out the next day, I mean, Mr. Dao drives by that every day. I did notice. Um my concern is the length of them. But if you do feels that's acceptable, then who are we to question them? Um since this is table from a previous uh meeting, all we can need to do is have a vote on it at this period. We don't have to have a public hearing. We've already done that. You closed it. Yes. What's that? You closed it in the last meeting. Yes. Yeah. So um any comments? Anyone? I would entertain a motion one way or the other.

3:12 – 3:570

Madam Chair, I motion that we approve CUP 2023-116. We have a motion. Can I have a second? I'll second it. We have a motion that we approve CUP 2023-116. Um, we will do roll call on this. Uh, Commissioner Mitchell, how do you vote? I vote. Commissioner Alder, yes. Commissioner Stats, yes. I'm uh, Commissioner Scott, I vote yes. Commissioner Beck, yes. Commissioner Dao, yes.

3:54 – 4:140

Thank you. Um, motion passes. Approved. CUP. Our next item of business is land use ordinances. Um 2025-079.

4:12 – 4:590

Yes. So the next couple you're going to hear are text amendments to our land use ordinance. Um the first one is 2025-079 and the request is um to add land farming and land farming modified into our chapter 27 chap uh land use code which is mining quarry sand and gravel excav exc excavations. Um, and if you look through the packet, there's definitions for both of those um that we'll add into those chapters. And um, just that we make that uh, as part of those tables in that chapter as well.

4:55 – 5:310

Can you just briefly like recap how is this different than what we already have for gravel pits and such? Um, so what they're doing with the soil is that they're treating it um, so that it's not uh, contaminated. Um, and then they can either sell it off or continue with other uses of that. Like, um, yeah, they're just treating the soil. Okay. I read that and I'm like, that's selling it off. That's what we do with gravel pits. We've had several come

5:29 – 6:000

So, these would be So, they're taking the soil from other places, like they're bringing it in from other places, and then they're um, however their processes work there. that's what they're going to be doing. So, it's not necessarily that they're excavating it from their property. All right. When I when you talk farming, I assume it's coming from this piece of ground. I mean, okay. So, I'm not totally off base. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. So, essentially they're

5:57 – 7:070

uh yes, thank you. I understand that, Lord. I didn't see it in there. Okay. Any other questions? Um, let's see. Uh, let's I will open the public hearing for this. If you have a question or well, no questions. If you have a comment on this, I'll just ask you to come up to the podium, write your name down and address on the clipboard and state your name for the record. And um we'll limit the the comments to two minutes tonight for all all public hearing. Okay, I will close the cup with the public hearing. Any other questions or comment from the board, the commission um to ask the staff?

7:06 – 7:400

Um just some clarification real quick. Sorry. Um okay, just to make sure that it is a conditional use uh approval approved through planning planning commission. Um that's the type of use that they're requesting. And then we also added in the the title to um make sure that those are not any closer than 1300 ft from a residential or commercial zoning district and that's a new state. Okay. So it follows the state guidelines. Yeah. So we just had to add residential and commercial

7:39 – 8:060

okay boundaries. Sorry there's a lot to scroll through this week. Um, I will I'll make a motion that we do. We recommend this. Yes, ma'am.

8:01 – 8:460

Yes. rem recommend to the county council to approve um TCLO205-079 text amendment to Twilla County Land use chapters 2 and 27 and um to adopt the definitions of land farming and land farming modified to the land use ordinance as well as adding the terms to chapter 27. 7 mining quarry sand and gravel excavation. Um, Commissioner Scott made the

8:45 – 9:300

motion. Thank you. Motion Commissioner Dao second it. Um, Commissioner Bstrom, how do you vote? Yes. Commissioner Stats? Yes. Commissioner Alder? Yes. Commissioner Mitchell? Yes. Commissioner Dao? Yes. and Commissioner Scott, I vote yes. Thank you very much. So, moving on to uh reszones 2025-04. You'll have two more text amendments. Sorry. Oh, two more on this one. Yeah, they're like, let's see. Oh, is it 5B is where we're at. So it'll go A

9:28 – 9:440

2025082. Sorry, I skipped over that. It's kind of a new formatting. So I know. So item 5B, right? Yes.

9:39 – 11:030

Okay. Um Yes. So Trisha Clo um so this is an applicant request. Um the applicant Brock Brown is requesting that uh we add firearms training facility and outdoor and indoor shooting ranges um into our um land use table for MU40 zones and then for MG zones um and then adding a definition to that into chapter 2. Um, so we've had quite a few requests over the years um to do this and currently our land use code does not have them in there so they're not allowed. Um, so planning staff did help the applicant to try and find zones that fit this use and so we've come up with the MU zones, not just 40. So, MU40, MU 80, MU 160 and then the MG zones. Um, and the applicant did do quite a bit of research. Um, the definition is also in in your the requested definition. So, um, yeah, I don't know. He did provide a lot of operational type um, information in there, but that's not what we're going to hear today. that'll be under condition.

10:59 – 11:440

So, with the MU zone, um, remind me what the boundaries are from residential areas. Um, the state code requires that any, uh, shooting ranges is,000 ft. Just a,000. Well, it requires that there be a deed notification to the surrounding areas. Okay. What notification? If they're located within a thousand deed. Okay. Yeah. A deed restriction. So like any developments that come in or something that will have to be posted on their either the plat or their deeds or whatever development is going to come in within a thousand feet of that and any neighbors that this would affect. Yeah. So you'll have

11:42 – 12:000

Yeah. So the request is to make this a conditional use permit. So you'll see each of these come in through planning commission too. So we can do all of those by case by case thing. Okay. Any other questions?

11:58 – 12:410

I have a couple questions and probably more educate me. So, when I look at this land use is is a is a general plan. Um, I would imagine a community like ours, we'd only see a oneoff of these uh being described as fairly large. I've been to these facilities. They're great. um for a one oneoff item, do we have to update the land use plan or is there something different? Because I wouldn't expect that every person who owns 40 acres is going to come up and for the conditional use to you and ask, "Hey, I want to do this too." Um, educate me, please.

12:38 – 14:110

No. So, for the land use uh portion of like the zoning codes, um they're just um uses that could be allowed in those areas. Um and there's different kinds of levels of those. So, the permitted ones, they don't have to have a conditional use permit. Um they do have to do a site plan through staff. So, all that has to be approved. And then there's the staff level um one where only the staff sees it and approves it. They can put conditions on it. and then um the regular conditional use lease permits that come before you guys as a board. And so those kind of uses if you feel like there's any nuisances that you need to mitigate um those are the conditions that you can put on to each of those properties. And so each property is going to be a little bit different. Um and there's a wide range of of different uses in different areas. Um, so just like the the multi-use zone that we're talking about, um, you can do homes on there. Um, you can do industrial uses, you can do a certain type of commercial uses. Um, and so it's just it really depends on what we want to allow in those kinds of areas. So, it's not really a reszone. It's already there. Those zones already exist. If somebody wants to reszone to put the firearm in there, that's where the general plan would come in to amend that. Um the land use codes are just kind of a living document where we come in and and fit the needs of the county at that time.

14:09 – 14:400

Okay. They define what's possible. Yes. And a conditional use permit would be required. Yes. I like the thought of a conditional use permit simply because of the nature of this industry and the site plan being able to impose conditions for safety measures. I agree. And you might be surprised how many times we've have one of this businesses come before the board in the four years I've served. So, thank you. Yeah, we see a lot.

14:41 – 15:030

Any other questions? Um, okay. Let's open it up to the public hearing. Again, if you have question, sorry, if you have comments on this pertaining to this um possible re uh reszone text amendment

15:01 – 15:400

amendment, sorry. Thanks. Um, please come up, state your name and write your name and address on the board on the clipboard. All right, I'm going to close public hearing due to lack of participation. Any comments or questions? Any thoughts on this from the commissioners? I would entertain a motion.

15:37 – 16:210

Madam Chair, I move that we uh I motion that we approve TCL 202025-082. Can we approve or do we recommend for recommend it or recommend? Sorry. I motion that we recommend DC Lo2025-082. Okay, I have a motion. Can I have a second? Have a second by Commissioner Alder. Um, again, we'll do a roll call. Commissioner Mansel, yes. Commissioner Stats, yes. Commissioner Backstrom, yes. Commissioner Scott, I vote yes. Commissioner Alder, yes. And Commissioner Dao, yes.

16:18 – 16:340

Okay, that it's approved for favorable recommendation to the council. And next, oh, we have a part C. Mhm.

16:31 – 17:460

Um 2025-092, a request for amendment to the land use chapter 35. Yeah. So, um this is just complying with the new state requirements. Um there's a couple of um minor fixes and I can kind of go over those if you want just to to update our our subdivision code. um instead of saying planning commission, we want the land use authority because it may change in the future and so the state requires that the land use authority approves these. Um and then in our currently under the county um that is planning commission, but that could change. So we just want to make sure that it's consistent all around. Um and then in the very back of um the chapter um they're requiring that any boundary adjustments follow these standards. So uh we've just updated those. So it'll be simple boundary adjustments or full boundary adjustments and those requirements according to state.

17:44 – 17:560

I like the language changes. What is that? I like the language changes. It's been It was a good update. That's it. Okay. Any questions for staff?

17:55 – 18:380

Oh, we do want Sorry. Well, there's one more here. And the final the final plat requirements. This is also uh state requirements. We just didn't catch it before. So, we can only require um certain requirements in preliminary or final. We can't require them in both. So, um, the health department has said that they're not going to to give us feasibility studies with preliminary review anymore. So, I just put those in final and then just adjusted some of those final requirements for final plat. Now, final plat, we don't see it, right? It doesn't come down. We only see preliminary. So, that's the only time we could

18:36 – 19:190

impose restrictions or requirements, right? Um essentially, yeah, subdivisions are hard to to do that in, but yeah, so the state just requires that um only Yep. only preliminary goes before the land use authority, which is you guys for tool county. Um and then just making sure that we didn't have both requirements like same requirements in both sections. Okay. Thank you for clarifying. Commissioner Mitchell, did you have comment? I do have questions. Um why was uh the evidence of water rights removed from the preliminary? Um it we moved it to final.

19:18 – 19:580

What was was there any particular reason for that? Yeah. So the health department and the state uh water rights division won't offer that information until after they've gotten preliminary approval. Okay. Thank you. Um, this is on the final, so maybe it doesn't matter, but the pedestrian and road connection plans moved to the final. Um, or remove was removed from the Yeah, because they're in preliminary. Okay. Thank you. So, that's when we can ask for trails or something in around and we want it in the preliminary. We don't want it at the end. Yeah. Mhm.

19:56 – 20:400

And then I think you might have an error in uh the title section 3584 that that's struck out too along with the paragraph. I think you just want the paragraph struck out, but you want that numeric value there on the uh right there. Let me find it. Sorry. A big packet here. You said 384. 38. Yeah. 3584. 3584. If you do an accept all, it's going to drop that. Um, yeah, essentially it's the same thing. Uh, I can talk to Nathan about formatting paragraph numbering itself. I don't know if you want to drop that.

20:37 – 21:180

It's below. You just changed the title. So, you struck out paragraph number, but it's below on boundary adjustments. The numbers there. The numbers there. Okay. Thank you. That's all I have. Thanks. Okay. Are you ready for a motion? Nope. Oh. U now open public hearing. Yes. And again, you'd like to comment, please come forward and state your name and write your name and address on the clipboard. I'm going to close public hearing. Mr. Beckram, I'll now entertain a motion.

21:160

Okay. I'd like to make a motion to recommend TLO2025-092.

21:26 – 22:090

What do you read the rest of it? No. What are you recommending? Recommend approval. Excuse me. No. No. You either recommend um Yeah. A favorable or unfavorable to the county council. Okay. Favorable. Excuse me. Okay. Thank you. Okay. We have a motion by Commissioner Beckrom, second by Commissioner Sts to do a favor favorable recommendation to the county council to adopt this. Um, Commissioner Mitchell, how do you vote? Yes. Commissioner Alder, how do you vote? Yes. Commissioner Dao, yes. Commissioner Scott, I vote yes. Commissioner Stitz, yes.

22:07 – 22:280

And Commissioner Beckrom, thank you. Yes. All right. So now we're doing results six, right? Correct. You guys have me um used to be each one.

22:29 – 23:300

Okay, take one. Uh so uh reszones rez 2025-046 J Charles Charles R A Arlo with the inland port is requesting a reszone of 232.52 acres from a multiple use 40 to an MG. Um yes. So um Charles Aurelo with the Inland Port um is requesting these parcels be reszoned. Um and council actually did approve this extension of the inland port and you'll probably see something here in the near near future for something north of this area too. So um the council's approved this area. Um, so it's just a formality to get it reszoned so that they can continue their development. Do you will you just clarify what the the MGS?

23:27 – 24:190

Um, yeah, it's general manufacturing. Um, so there's a wide range of of uses that they could do in there according to our table. Um uh the the main concern and I I'm sure that um Charles would be happy to talk on it is just that Higgley Road um that's going to have to be reclassified as a truck route through the transportation plan and it's going to have to be improved upon in order for all of the um to accommodate all of these industrial uses. Um and I'm sure if you if he has questions or anything about the roads, I'm sure he's planning on updating those. He's actually submitted a concept plan that adds more um not just Higgley Road, but there will be quite a few more, at least two that I could see.

24:16 – 24:540

Are we talking north of the cannabis farm? That's right. Uh west. Yeah, northwest. It's just northwest of it. So, the cannabis farm is south of Higgley. This is just north of Higley. Okay. Um yeah, just west of his current MG zone in the map there. That was Sure. New Road would help several other applicants we've heard over the last two years, huh? Yeah. I've got a question for you, Trish. Um, speaking of past applicants, refresh my memory. Didn't we

24:51 – 25:180

deny a reszone request two or three meetings ago because we did not want to designate Higgley Road as a truck route? We tabled that. We tabled that one um because I thought that was the um the issue that we had was that there were several land owners there including the Higgleys that didn't want that designated as a truck route.

25:16 – 26:010

Um yeah, so quite a few of those properties have been bought over. Um but yeah, essentially when um the development comes in, they're going to be forced to improve that road. But at that one when we tabled it there was no no one spoke against it. We just were concerned about the width of the war the road where two semis couldn't safely pass. So that was our concern. There was no land owners that spoke. We haven't seen a land owner in this for about a year. We left with the property owner was going to work with the staff to get it to where we

25:56 – 26:400

Yes. some conditions of um uses that could be in there that would um limit the amount of traffic or what kind of traffic there is. And so that's going to be the next item actually. So we can discuss that later. But um yeah, with this one um and it's pretty much the whole length of Higgley um and including the next resone. So that whole the whole section of that road will be taken care of in the future. They'll have to Thank you. Yeah. Yep. Yep.

26:40 – 27:230

Got to do. Got to do. But he had the headphone on. He was in a meeting. So that's Any other comments or questions? Yes. So it appears it's compliant with the land use plan. But with the existing infrastructure, did I read correctly that that capacity this would be 13,683 trips per day? It could um it's hard to per Yeah. Yeah. They're just doing um a wide range of uses in that area. So, we really don't know exactly what's going to come in at this point um for every property, but it's going to be a lot of traffic.

27:21 – 27:410

How does this body have influence on that? What was that? How does this body have p influence on the pace of that? Um, I don't really know. What specifically are you asking? What what do you want to control?

27:37 – 28:170

Um, the timing of you built the capacity, but 13,000 trips uh in that infrastructure isn't going to work. And we can see what's going on at I80 right now with the interchanges. Um, if we try and do that right now, if they build a full structure there, try and bring that that many trucks, we've really hurt ourselves. But if they're pacing it out over five or 10 years, that's something to to take a look at. But I didn't see anything in in the traffic studies or anything that said here's a plan. Here's here's how we would grow into this area.

28:15 – 28:360

Um, that happens with development. So, they're going to be required to do all that infrastructure before anything can come in. So, it's those roads are going to have to be able to handle all of that traffic study. Um, so they'll it'll be taken care of as development comes in to the 13,000.

28:33 – 29:160

Well, yeah. So, our maximum standard is 100 ft width of a road and that would help include any XL del lanes. And so, that's what they're currently doing on Burmeister. widing it and adding all those in there. Um, it's going to be up to the traffic engineer to decide what's going to be required in that area. Um, if there's going to be lights, if there's going to be like stop lights or any other Excel diesel lanes, what the traffic uh the speed limit would be like those that's going to be up to the traffic engineer. So, this body doesn't have influence on the pace of that. Um, no. Okay.

29:14 – 29:590

Who is our traffic engineer for the county? Um, we consult with uh Enzy. Okay. That's what I thought. Could we make a bad assumption that um there is too much going to be too much traffic and and they if they ruin the roads, could they come after the the county to say, "Hey, the roads have been ruined and we need improvements quickly so we can we can handle our own traffic to this location." Um, I believe this area is going to be in a private industrial, right? Yeah. I was going to say the land owners here, we'll have them come up in a a little bit, but um, so Burmeister and Higgley, which is

29:56 – 30:330

Yeah. is ours, the county, it's already there. We can't change that. The rest is Okay. So, it'll be Yep. It'll be up to them to maintain those internal roads that they put in. But and not all the pigglys toilet county, right? It will be. Yeah. So all, like I said, when development comes in, the infrastructure is going to be taken care of very first. Um, so anytime they want to try and build anything on there or site plan or subdivision or anything, the infrastructure and those approvals will have to come first. Okay.

30:30 – 31:120

Okay. I noticed uh also there was no we don't have any neighborhood comment yet. I'm wondering are we going to have some tonight? Hopefully if we don't is there any actions that should be taken to have that discussion or just public notice enough? Well, it's public notice and they usually send out no not cards notices directly to the Yeah. Yeah. Did I miss that one? But um any other questions? Should we have the landowner come up first or after public hearing?

31:09 – 32:590

Let's open public hearing and then maybe anything that comes up he will be able to address. Um again, if you have comments on this particular thing, uh come up, state your name, and write it down on the clipboard. We do have somebody with their hand up on Zoom. So, we'll begin with that comment. All right. A lot of traffic from people going because of resources making [Music] section. that would be affecting because only and also resources

33:06 – 33:480

also area. So I think that's going to be a concern is okay. Thank you for your comments.

33:56 – 34:110

Uh we have one one other comment and again we're going to limit it to two minutes. She didn't hit that but okay we have one online first Fitzgerald.

34:10 – 36:000

Yes Jamie Fitzgerald we are like corner and right next to the cell tower which is on the property. How is this going to affect property taxes in the area and the surrounding properties the We can take comments. We can't answer questions unfortunately. And that's not when we would be qualified to answer either. Hi m uh Michael Drury. I signed in previously. I'm the uh reszone application afterwards. I'm I'm in support of uh this reszone. Um, and I've actually owned quite a bit of property even west of it and but I've got aquatic resource uh reports that show um we're still having to go down 10 12 feet before you hit water, but the ground is is good. It's buildable. Um, we're excited about having Higgley Road uh professionally developed. Um, I was responsible for selling the cannabis the property to the cannabis operation in Utah Track and Welding. Those are both very good successful businesses and uh I'm in support of the entire port project and what it's bringing as far as the commercial area out there by the freeway and keeping the residential a little closer to town. So, I think it's a good overall master development in support of the project.

36:160

Um, for the record, please remember to write your name. Yes, my name is on the list here. Do I need to write it again? Nope.

36:21 – 37:170

Okay. My name is Cameron Ordicowski. Uh I'm actually a realist commercial real estate agent. I live out in Utah County actually. And my comments are is once I've had a lot of clients that have been looking to this whole area. And I'm super excited for the development and the jobs it'll bring to the area because in Utah County, we are full and Salt Lake County, they are full. And there's just so many people that want to build as the beehive state goes and work. So the next best location is really Tula County Park City in that area, there's just nowhere for any type of serious commercial development. And just being along I80, it's just got a lot of interest. And I'm just excited for the jobs it'll bring to the area. And I'm actually looking to move out to the area as well, too, because I just love the growth. So those are my comments.

37:14 – 37:400

Thank you. Anyone else online? Okay, I'm going to close the public hearing. Any other comments or thoughts from the commission or the council? No, commission.

37:40 – 38:220

A comment that may turn into a question. Um, and this might be for Michelle, this might be for Trish. I don't really know. Something that I don't think it's talked about enough is and and it it this directly affects what I'm about to say. Can our infrastructure handle What did you say, Commissioner Mitchell? 13,000. 683. How many of those vehicles I know this traffic study was focused on uh the pertaining area, but how many of those uh trucks are going to hit I 80? All of them because that's where they want to route them. They they're going to limit Grantsville is my understanding. Exactly.

38:200

You don't want truck route through there.

38:22 – 39:130

No. And uh and I agree. Um but uh last week is a good example. How many days was I80 shut down for hours at a time because our infrastructure cannot simply handle the amount of traffic that we have? And I don't think it's I think it's something that doesn't get talked about enough. Um, and I I don't know if this planning commission has any say uh for this reason because of our feelings towards the infrastructure. But I I seriously think that it needs it's something that needs to be looked at. Um because we have a a pretty serious issue. Um, it's almost almost a daily occurrence and I think that it is something that needs to be looked at before it gets brought to us because if it doesn't change, it's only going to get worse.

39:11 – 40:190

However, there's already processes in the works. I80 is being expanded. There's the dedicated lane from 99 to exit 102 that they are working on. they've already um widened both lanes both ways on 36 to three lanes. So if you're talking about infrastructure, I think there is a little bit of forward planning because by the time this is built up and realistically I work in the trekking industry, the fact that you're getting you're not going to realistically have that. I mean in the West Valley area where you already have this inland port, you don't see that much traffic and it's been in place for years. But there is some I think I see some forward planning. I mean, I've been driving this route for 25 years. So, when I first started working in the trucking industry, there 36 was one lane.

40:15 – 40:490

Well, I do agree with you. Um, you know, we we all the ones that were here to vote on it saw what was proposed uh for our uh transportation plan, master transportation plan. Um, but like the gentleman that spoke, he said, you know, there's Utah County is full, Salt Lake County is full. This is the place to move. Um, we we need to be careful that we don't put the cart before the horse. And we're already headed in that direction. We have been for 25. We have been since day one. Yeah,

40:47 – 41:310

I agree with that also. But I thought that this location was actually probably the best to avoid that situation if you had to expand what you kind of do. This has one of the least impacts than you know around. Yeah. In the history of our country that westward expansion and it's coming our way still. So I I agree with that and I'm not saying I disagree with this reason. I just and I agree with Commissioner Alder. It's just that choke point because everything leads right into that choke point. Um and so it's something that currently doing a study of this area. They've had several public hearings and are not getting much uh participation. Weird.

41:28 – 42:080

There's big surprise. Um but they have stated they will not throw state dollars at infrastructure before growth. The growth and congestion have to be here first. That's the school system unfortunately. Yeah. schools and stuff when they widened 36 25 years ago. I was at a public hearing said why don't you buy up you know we could have mass transit you know trains and stuff and they said you don't have the people yet when you do we'll talk about it so now we have a problem now we have a problem okay if I can make a quick comment yes

42:06 – 43:000

I think Michelle probably just gave the answer to the question I was going to ask but that particular exit off of I 80 could become what 36 has become coming into Lake Point that is that it be become a choke point off of I80 at that particular spot. But I guess we need to see evidence before they will improve it. It sounds like so but I think that choke point might become an issue that makes it one one of the next priorities for for UD do or yeah for you do to say okay it's a choke point we now you need to improve that spot. So you could um make a condition that the applicant get with you do let you do know their plan get a letter to you guys from UD do which he may have already done. We have not heard from him yet. I do not know but you could ask for that.

42:58 – 43:090

Okay. At this point we will invite the applicant up to talk to us and answer any questions that we might have.

43:08 – 45:070

Thank you commission. and I really appreciate it. My name is Chuck Akerlow and I would like to take a few moments and just bring you up to date on what we've been doing out there for the last four years. We've been working on this project for that period of time. We are into it many millions of dollars already in terms of of work that we've done, roads that have gone in, pipes in the ground and so forth. Would you mind just passing out that sheet? You got it. Okay. that uh is is a summary of my notes. Let me just go over them quickly. So, first I want to give you a background of who we are and how we relate to the county and then how it relates to the inland port. And I think that's something that a lot of people don't fully understand. Took me a while to understand it. But when we acquired the property that we acquired, which was the Ballander piece, that was the first piece we acquired. It was 162 acres and it was zoned MG already even though it had no access or anything. It was still zoned MG some years ago. It has rail that runs right alongside of it. And right now if you go out there you'll see Savage Rail is improving that rail and rebuilding it. They bought it from Union Pacific. So Savage Rail is part of the Savage companies bought that rail line and they're taking it all the way down to the Lake Point, excuse me, the Lake View project. And right outside of us are three tracks and we building a track in on our property as well. That for us is going to cost us somewhere in the neighborhood of $4 million just to do that part of it, which we're more than happy to do because we have many people, many businesses that would like to have rail. Uh when we uh uh when we bought the property, we then heard of the inland port, but our impression of the inland port at that time was that they would only buying things they were going

45:04 – 47:030

to run and develop. But what at that time we learned was that they made a shift in their emphasis and they instead went out to try to identify project areas that they could then support. And what they do, the state legislature has given them authority to issue uh public infrastructure districts. It's given them the authority to uh negotiate on tax increment financing and so forth. And it's clear that in a place like this where there is no utilities, where there was nothing, you know, to to support industrial that you have to make a serious investment up front. And one of the best ways to do that is with uh infrastructure financing through bonds. And so that has been the financial plan that we have been working on to do all of that. We have had to study the heck out of this thing. We have probably to date done five different um geotech studies on the property to make sure that everybody that we work with in the county as well as on our our bond people and so forth are comfortable that this is a buildable place. We have also done something no one else has ever done and that is we have organized we have engaged a wetlands mitigation study and the wetlands mitigation study is done by a professional firm national firm has offices here in Salt Lake and they delineated where the wetlands are. So we had to make the point the uh decision in our layout and design to stay out of the wetlands except in one case where we needed to cross the wetlands with our interior road and that took us about four months to get that through the process of the core of engineers. We did it properly. It was done right and we got the authority. In the interim, in

47:01 – 49:000

conversations with Michelle and with others in the county, it it became uh evident that that the county did not want to have to uh take responsibility for the maintain maintenance of those roads and utilities and so forth out there. Uh particularly if we had this bridged area, they didn't want to be involved in that. So, we organized the Tela Valley Public Infrastructure District. Now, I'm u and my partner is here, Matt Smok. We are property owners and managers of all of this property. We have something like uh 500 acres now that we're putting under uh under development. Um we are also trustees of the infrastructure district. So I I could stand here tonight as chairman of that board of trustees and tell you what the infrastructure district is doing and that we have entered into a contract with the county. Now, you may not have heard of this, but we have an interlocal agreement with Tela County in which it is agreed that we will take ownership of all of our roads, our streets, our our water pipes, our sewer pipes, our water tank, our booster pump stations, our wastewater treatment facilities. Every single thing we're putting into this project, we become responsible for through the district. The district has the taxing ability. So of course it will be able to tax to the person who worried about taxes going up. This doesn't affect anybody outside of the of the uh development of the industrial park period doesn't affect them. No other taxes go up except within the district. It's the district that pays back the bonds and maintains the roads and streets. So with that background um

48:57 – 50:540

there was a couple of statements made in in Trisha's excellent report that I just wanted to conclude with. One is you were you were asked to evaluate for yourselves the uh impact of residential and utilities in the area. There is no residential in the area. Uh except for two of the Higgley boys still have homes there, but they're moving out because when we purchased their property, they had the money to go elsewhere. And the the two remaining uh residents there are likely also to move. One was the little zoo that's out there, if you're familiar with that. And that the lady that ran that was unfortunately and tragically killed in an automobile accident right at at 36 and and the freeway when she was coming on to get on the freeway going west and and the other one is um the widow of Rulan Higgley and she's also profited from you know some of the purchases and so forth. So that soon will they'll soon move. I want to come back to Higgley Drive though in just a minute. As as to public utilities, uh there are none there. I mean, if if you if you're evaluating what impact we're going to have on existing sewer sewage treatment plants or water uh facilities or there's no need. We are developing everything. We own enough water rights to serve this project. We have drilled wells so we know where our water's coming from. We have designed all of the uh pump stations and and reverse osmosis stations and so forth in the property. Our water tank is now being constructed, excuse me, it's now being manufactured. It'll be delivered here in September and then you will see it going up. Uh it's a

50:50 – 52:480

700,000galon water tank. The wastewater facility can handle up to 35,000 gallons per day. And the neat thing about this new system and then there's some great things that are happening in the marketplace out there in development that you might want to know about that's a modular system. So as the as the project grows and as more need there is for water uh uh daily water use, we can expand it right on the 13 acres that we that the pit owns. So uh uh if you if you want to know about and I put this in my notes to you, but if you want to know about the utilities and do we have the utilities to serve, yes, they've all been designed by engineers, water engineers, civil engineers, they've been they've been impacted upon by the wastewater treatment people, by by the engineers at the wetlands mitigation, etc. So we've carefully moved around this entire project. We've been at this for four years as I mentioned and it takes time to put all of these various pieces into place. We made this presentation I'm making to you now to the county council recently when we went before them to ask for a resolution from the county council to approve the expansion of our project area. They have approved it. They have adopted a resolution. It will go before the board of directors of the uh Utah Inland Portis Authority uh second week of September for final approval. What we now wanted to do is upgrade the zoning because you know having the MU40 zone doesn't work very well for the manufacturing and for the technical uses we we propose. Finally, as to the subject of Higgley Road, there's some things that we've discovered as we have done our homework that I don't think a lot of people know in this in the

52:46 – 54:440

county. We've tried to make the county manager's office aware of this. We have also discussed this with the planning office, but the uh the road uh Higgley Road is not totally owned by the county. You must understand that there's land under that road that is still owned by Arthur Higgley. We have no intention of using that road. None. With this new acquisition, we have three accesses, three entrances, three exits into our project, which meets everything the fire department needs. We do not need to go down uh Higgley, nor do we choose to. However, you show it on your on your master transportation plan as a future connection to the other road that we are now building for the county, which is the connection road that comes off the freeway. Goes through our property, goes through the Morton Salt piece of our property we just bought. You're going to be seeing a the same kind of zone request for that piece as we're here tonight. And then it comes all the way down to what would be Higgley Drive if you took it all the way east. And then if we continue to develop down toward the south of our property, we will take that road which is on your plan. And it is county road and it's been designed to county standards. It's all all above board on this. And we'll take it and continue it down the road. And it will be a county road. At some point in time, the county may want to take it over. That's fine. But at the this point in time, the public infra infrastructure district has that responsibility. Um, why do I point out that there's that there's an ownership issue? It's because I think all of us property owners and the and county officials need to come together to decide what to do about Haley. It is not designed for the use.

54:41 – 56:400

And I was surprised that the that the hailes even, you know, thought it could be used as much as it can be. It is simply not designed and and the reason for that is that Arthur Haggley built it and he didn't build it according to county standards. It doesn't have the right away that it should have and what you'll want for it to be a county road. And yet the county still claims it as a road even though it has not been dedicated to it. Arthur Higgley has made it very plain and clear to my partner and I that that that he never dedicated that road to the county. We have had our lawyers and our title people do the research and we can find no conveyances from Arthur Haley to the county a little further in on the road right where you get around where the the entrance is to the uh marijuana plant uh that that then shows there's a dedication and I I have to believe that somehow that got dedicated when that road went down to the to the uh farm for the to that farm. I'm not sure how it was, but there is part of it that is dedicated uh but not the first part where you turn off of Burmeister. One final thing that you were discussing and that is the acquisition uh and the traffic and so forth that uh that uh Commissioner Dao was talking about. Right now we are widening Burmeister. Burmeister is a county road and it's a county road almost to the point where the freeway comes off right by that interchange. We are working with UD do on what they're going to do with the rest of it obviously because we are widening Burmeister with acceleration and deceleration lanes. And we're doing that all the way uh Matt was about halfway down our property. halfway down the road with the next expansion, it's going to be all the way out to Interstate 80.

56:380

Right.

56:40 – 57:550

So, u and and if you go out there now, you will see we've excavated. That road is being widened. We're doing it all under county standards and with county inspectors and with the county on board and the county has approved everything. So, that that'll be done the way it's supposed to be done and it will meet the qualifications and the requirements of the transportation study that we had done. excuse me, the traffic study we had done with Hails Engineering. I'm happy to answer any other questions, but I want to assure you that we have taken a very professional approach to the development of this property. If there's something that you see that we need to know about and that we need to to address, we are more than happy to do that. Always want to work with the county. We are now I now have a government job being on the trustees. So, from one government person to the next, let me tell you, we're more than than honored to uh to deal with anything you might have. I would request that we uh have a vote on them on the reszone tonight since we're trying to make sure that by the time we get to the inland port for their board meetings, we can represent that it's done. Any questions?

57:52 – 58:140

I have a question. Um you you mentioned you purchased Higgley's property. Does that not include the road that we've been discussing? No. As a matter of fact, if you look at that that yellow, we bought it right to the edge of the road, the north edge of Higgley. Okay.

58:10 – 58:550

And then Arthur maintained the uh Hegley part and down and he and he there's a there's a paragraph in the purchase agreement which says that if we ever want to widen that road, we have to come and pay him for that. uh that road ownership that he has. And so that of course is something that when when and if we get to sit down and talk about what should happen in the future with Hegley Road, we'll will be dealt with at that time. But that's a good question. But no, we're right to the north boundary of Okay. of his. So you didn't buy all of it. You just bought a portion of his bought any of it of the You mean of the of the road? No. Of the Higgley property? Yeah. We just bought what's in the yellow.

58:54 – 59:350

Okay. For now. Thank you. Any other questions? I do have one a couple questions. Okay. Um, you surely must have a milestone schedule or something you've got in mind for growing to capacity. Uh, do you have anything that's linked to the schedule and the infrastructure upgrades with the study with you do? Is that something you can share with us? I'm sorry, I didn't understand the question. Well, a pro project this size, you would have a schedule, correct? You've got some type of a development. Development schedule. Sure. Yeah. Yes. Absolutely.

59:32 – 1:00:060

Yeah. So, do you have anything linked with UD do and that infrastructure uh those infrastructure? We haven't had to do anything with UD do at this point. They're aware of what we're doing on the Burmester side, which is a county, and we do have schedules with the county. They know what what the schedule is in terms of completing that, and it's being done now. We had a Uh we had a uh we had to do some more borings because the deflection tests weren't weren't acting as they should. What body in the county you said has that?

1:00:04 – 1:00:420

Well, it's the your your roads department uh is one that that has approved what we're doing and and and and they will they will maintain that the public infrastructure districts boundaries do not include the road, but the public infrastructure district is paying for it. I can't see that commission. I don't think that answered your question. It It did. So, he's got a schedule for the completion of the Burnster Road improvements. You're asking if he's got a schedule for intended buildout and what infrastructure you anticipate having to build as your project grows?

1:00:40 – 1:01:340

Well, we we have put in all of the infrastructure in the first phase, which includes the uh that kind of triangular piece that's marked MG. And then there's a piece we bought from the state of Utah that is also if you look carefully it says MG but it's not color and it goes over and connects with the yellow part of the Burmeister piece. So that's the total 242 acres. We have put in all of the infrastructure for that 242 acres uh together with all the laterals that go off into the property and we are now also laying out the electrical and the gas. Yeah, my question is not internal to the facility itself. My question deals with the road structure, the infrastructure. At what point you're building a capacity of 13,683 trips per day? What point do you plan on hitting that?

1:01:330

When do you start? You're So, it's just pretty much whoever wants to come in at that time. I don't think they've got anything.

1:01:41 – 1:02:390

I've never seen I know what you're talking about, but I I just thought that was awfully high. I don't see that that we generating that kind of traffic particularly when we have rail. A lot of our product will come in and out on rail. And then the second thing, Commissioner Mitchell, that I would point out is that in the yellow piece right now that's designated to be a um technology center and we we are in negotiations with high-tech companies to move there. They don't have the need for trucks and and so forth coming in and out because they're they're run by computers and and so on and so forth and they don't have also the the amount of of employee traffic. So I I appreciate what you're saying. Your hails engineering study says the project is anticipated to generate approximately 13,683 week

1:02:37 – 1:03:110

and that includes all of it. That includes what we're talking about here, plus the up above. And part of that you haven't seen yet, but on the Morton property we just purchased is a major truck stop travel center that's going to go there. That is where you will have a lot of the traffic. The trucks, in fact, they've got a plan on their layout for something like 70 trucks to park. Yeah. Sorry, the documentation doesn't support. I'll I'll take your word for it. That's all the questions that number, right?

1:03:10 – 1:03:520

Well, it it came from whatever calculations they did, but I'll tell you this much. The reason it went up high is when we told them we had this truck stop because they, you know, they understand the traffic that goes in and out of truck stops. Well, of course, those trucks will come right off the freeway into the travel center and right back out. So that this your traffic study had the the proposed truck stop included. Yes. Um the one we submitted is was a secondary one after the first one we submitted which was just for the first phase, but this one you're referring to is for the whole project.

1:03:48 – 1:04:420

Okay. and and uh it you know it didn't it wasn't 13,000 when when we before we told them about the truck stop and then you know went up but again it's not a burden on anybody. It comes they come off the freeway and go right back on the freeway. Um you had said when you were uh explaining this uh document that you had been working with UD do had been talking to UD do um concerning the Burmester I80 exchange right there. Uh my question is have you had has UD do any traffic study concerning this and the proposed um traffic that will be added to I80? I um I don't know that they do their own work and uh I don't I can't answer that.

1:04:41 – 1:05:120

Okay. I'm assuming they will. They're very slow in what they do and uh I don't I mean right now they're happy with what we're doing on the county side and the and we've not had they're just starting to think about what they might have to do on that interchange. We'll share with them our study. Give that to them. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Any other questions, comments? Thank you for your time.

1:05:18 – 1:05:530

Turn your mic on. Michelle, you made a comment earlier about uh a conditional approval of this. Could you explain that again? I I like the language you were saying. It helps alleviate some of the concerns I have. condition that the applicants notify you do with their traffic study and get some acknowledgement from you do regarding the capacity of IE in that area. That's acceptable to me. Thank you.

1:05:50 – 1:06:310

I like that too. Especially because the staff recommendation Higgley Road is something they're focusing on and we've just heard that that's not part of it. So, There needs to be some resolution there, I think, before there's some county code that you develop adjacent to a planned road, you have to do the road improvements. He is more than likely going to have to dedicate right away. Jury had to do it for the marijuana, right? But that doesn't come until the subdivision. Okay. Okay. Thank you.

1:06:29 – 1:07:110

Thank you. Any questions or comments? A motion. I motion we adopt it with Relle's condition. Make a favorable recommendation. Sorry. Make a favorable recommendation with that condition attached to it. And the condition being that you he the land owner gets with UD do to get provides his road studies to UD do and that you do DOT provide a response back to that. Is that correct? Thank you. I have a motion. Can I have a second? second.

1:07:09 – 1:07:500

Have a motion by Commissioner Mitchell to do a favorable recommendation with um the the note that um the landowner will be required to provide his traffic study to UD do and they can provide feedback on this um interchange for I80 and Burmeister. We have a second by Commissioner Stats. Commissioner Alder, how do you vote? Yes. Commissioner Dao, yes. Commissioner Scott, I vote yes. Commissioner Beckrom, yes. Commissioner Stats, yes. And Commissioner Mitchell, yes.

1:07:46 – 1:07:580

Okay. Thank you, Trish. Let's move on to the other reason.

1:07:53 – 1:09:390

Yes. So, um, presenting 2025-035. Um you guys had tabled this before um requesting um that applicant get with staff to determine what type of um uses that could be um in that area to put a condition in that area that um it would be light traffic because of Higgley Road is not able to handle all that. Um, I did speak with the applicant and we came up with um a condition that um let me see if I can find it. Get the right verbiage here. Um just because we're uncertain if and when the inland port may use or improve Higgley Road, um staff recommends that a condition on um on this zoning request be for max trips per day. Um given the hills study engineering that this applicant provided for his resolve um planning staff recommends that the condition is that each future business uh use proposed shall provide a number of trips per day that their business will bring. Uh the max allowed trips for the entire proposed reson area be capped at 250 trips per day until Hegley Road is sufficiently improved um to provide more traffic. Um because if you look at Hell's Engineering, uh the max that they felt that road could handle is 400 trips and currently it there's 150 trips that they've counted there. So,

1:09:380

okay. And that's between all the businesses that will be there total, right? 250 total.

1:09:42 – 1:10:300

Um no, that's just whatever is currently there and what his proposed is. They didn't include any of the inland ports things and um like I said because it's uncertain if and when um the inland port would handle that western half so we just have to go from what the current Hell's Engineering is so that it's yeah um so yeah just that each so that that little paragraph in the bottom that each business is um when that development comes in they provide a how many trips per day their business will handle and then as development comes in we have to manage um they can only cap at 250 trips for the entire reasoned area.

1:10:28 – 1:11:100

How do you how do you monitor that and enforce that? Do we have something in place to enforce? Yeah. lake. Um, it would probably be we'd have to contract with our own traffic engineer um and maybe every year, every two years or something and get counts out there at our expense. Yeah. But like I said, that's just going to be if and when you know the inland port has to improve Higgley Road. If it does, then Yeah. Okay. So it'll only be that condition is only placed until Higgley Road is sufficiently improved.

1:11:08 – 1:11:520

The count's everywhere else. It kind of sounds like I don't want to get involved in that one yet. Their land owners are fighting. Yep. Okay. Thank you. Yes. Any other questions for Trish? Trish, I got just a couple questions. What's the difference? Why Why was this one manufacturing distribution versus manufacturing? It's just what the applicant preferred. Okay. What is it? What's the distinction between the two? Um it's just whatever uses in the land use table are. Um I it's hard to say. There's just um

1:11:50 – 1:12:350

a little more heavy industrial amounts than Okay. than distribution. Thank you. Yeah. more I'd say more commercial operations and distribution is more like warehousing okay type uses so it's heavier loads it just depends okay thank you uh let's open the public hearing if you have a quick comment on this please come forward as the landowner do you want to do this or do you want to make your comments after as the land owner yeah Does this one? No, this one doesn't. It does not because we did it. We did it last time. Last time. We That's right. Sorry.

1:12:34 – 1:13:180

Okay. He doesn't get to address it, does he? As a land own, don't any questions you have? He's Yeah. All right. But this is Mr. Chairman if you want to hear from Mr. Dwey. Do we have any questions from him? My question comes up with this the Higgley uh road. How How are you affected by what was just described and I don't know if that's a legal truthful situation? I'm sure it was truthful, but I don't know if it's really the way it was expressed is does Mr. Hickley actually still own that that's up for lawyers to decide, but yeah. And our lawyers in the back.

1:13:14 – 1:13:290

Yeah, I think it's this Michael Jury. I think it's an issue. Uh Jared Higgley told me a long time ago that Arthur kept that out for a strategic reason this little piece in between.

1:13:27 – 1:14:460

So the county has to my knowledge has up to the probably the cannabis farm and then he has a little piece and then county has after that and it was I think a kind of a little trick or something. and I don't know what it is, but um my my property is yeah I I proposed uh light manufacturing distribution and most of the businesses I'm uh uh marketing to are warehouses, storage, not super high traffic and and the discussion I had with Trish about limiting what the current conditions of the road. First of all, the road is actually I think it's a nice road. It's not it wasn't made by Arthur. He doesn't spend any money. It was actually done by Jerry Hirs, the previous commissioner. He and I worked on that because it used to be a mud road full of potholes and we were doing a lot of fundraisers down there and he uh put a road down there. But so it's it's decent. It's not super wide. So there is an issue for two semis to pass on each other. But um yeah, most of the I'm going to be limited by the current traffic study. And so I'm looking for businesses on purpose that aren't going to use it up. I'm looking for on purpose to, you know, because I know one day it will be used up and then all a sudden I have to address it if the inland port doesn't.

1:14:44 – 1:15:010

So for instance, right now part of your property on the previous subdivision is Utah Track and Welding, right? But they use it for a lay down yard. Yeah. So that's thing we're looking at for this particular piece.

1:14:59 – 1:16:570

Yeah. So Utah Track and Welding just stores uh construction equipment there. Um, the cannabis farm has about 20 employees. So, I don't even know where the 150 is coming from. But, we'll continue to monitor that. But, if if right now they say there's 150 and there's 250 less or left, then we'll try and get if we pick one land or we sell one property or something to a business that uses that up, that's bad for us. We'd say, "Hey, let's let's not do a a deal with them. Let's do it to businesses that are more in line with storage." And even like Mr. Aclo said, it's data centers. It's it's not these huge traffic things. So even though hails and I've done five traffic studies with hails, even though they said there's a total maximum of 13,000, that's if everything's maxed out to the hilt. And the real the reality is the absorption rate is much slower out there. Now, we're marketing to businesses. We have two uh businesses that want to move out there. They have some two or three. It's going slower than that. That that was just a maximum. Uh, and probably the truck stops sent it through the roof. They probably shouldn't have included that in the traffic study, but yeah, we want the the development out there. We're trying to keep the jobs here from instead of going to Salt Lake. And the reality is most of them are not uh hightraic businesses based on the input we've been marketing on with my associate Cameron. They're mostly storage. people can't expand their businesses in Salt Lake, so they're moving out here to store things and and operate like that. So, we haven't seen really high high traffic ones yet. Anyways, I'm hoping to get that approved with it, you know, that condition and we're going to start bringing some smart businesses out that hopefully don't use it up and then if it does, then I'll be working with Inland Port to say, "Hey, what do we got to do to get that road improved?" and uh continue to we we'll have to fix the the

1:16:55 – 1:17:150

Arthur ownership issue one day. I don't know who's going to fix that, but not us. It's some little snippet in in between. I don't even know how you pull that off, but we'll have to deal with it one day. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Um if I could comment. Yes.

1:17:13 – 1:17:500

It seems like last time we discussed this particular property, one of our concerns was potential emergency response accesses. I don't remember that part. I know we've addressed it with Mr. Drury before and he had to actually do a little bit. Well, no, he didn't. Um, fire chief signed off up on the road up to um the cannabis facility. So, it's after that that it narrows. Maybe it actually widens after cannabis. It widens up out to Higgley's uh all the way to the port.

1:17:48 – 1:18:310

Okay. Yeah, that'll all be taken care of um once I haven't seen supports. I mean, I've seen it from a distance. Yeah, they'll have to get all those approvals before they can do anything. Commissioner Mel, did you have a comment? I I just have a question. So, what's the what's the distinction between this applicant and the previous applicant? And is it fair that we put the same condition on this applicant given um the the manufacturing versus Right. Yes. Um the the problem with this property is that their only access is off Higgley Road. Yes. Um the other ones have access off Burmeister.

1:18:29 – 1:19:130

They they've got three additional that they're building. This one is just a very narrow road. Rush Valley. It's the road between Clover and St. John. That back. Yes. Okay. I'm not clear on this one yet. Part of it is we don't know who owns it. Well, the road's not our issue. Okay. The reszone rezone's compliant within the land plan is what it seems. Uh the traffic burden is and the traffic actually worked with staff and did what we asked him.

1:19:10 – 1:19:500

Yeah. In May, we had this applicant. He was going to come back in June. We tabled it, but he didn't have a chance. So, he worked really closely, I think, with with staff with Trisha and and met what we had asked for. Okay. Thank you. Any questions? Any motions? Motion to accept or recommend or what was the right favorable recommendation. Approval a favorable recommendation. A favorable recommendation.

1:19:47 – 1:20:160

Okay. We have a motion the condition with the condition of the additional 250 cars per day. Correct. Max max until he road. So 400 max or an additional Okay, that Higgley Road can handle up to 400 trips per day. And so the Yeah, the current is 150. So 250 is left. So yes. Okay,

1:20:14 – 1:20:540

if you want to read that one little paragraph for the condition, I guess. So, Commissioner Mitchell um has proposed a favorable recommendation to the planning or to the county council with the following um where did it go? Right there. Uh an additional 250 cars per day max for a total of 400 cars per day. Do we have to reclassify that too as a truck route? that was in your recommendation. Um

1:20:55 – 1:21:250

probably be best to do it. So add add that to it please. Okay. Uh each future business use proposed shall provide a number of trips per day with that their business will bring the max allowed trips for the per tire zone area to be kept at 250 trips per day or is that an additional 250? That's I need the reszoned area only bring in

1:21:22 – 1:22:050

only 250 trips per day until Hickley Road is sufficiently improved to provide for more traffic. We have a motion. That was the motion by Commissioner Mitchell. Commissioner Commissioner Dao has seconded that. Commissioner Beckrom yes. Commissioner Stats. Yes. Commissioner Scott, I vote yes. Commissioner Alder, yes. Commissioner Dao, yes. And Commissioner Mitchell, yes. Okay. Thank you. Thank you for clarifying. What was your second condition? Clarify. Just write it down. You had the uh vehicle trip limit. The transportation plan.

1:22:04 – 1:22:370

Yeah. Update. Okay. The truck. Okay. Sorry, I need to clarify. Do I need to redo that one? I have a a point of inquiry here. This is for Michelle. Wouldn't an amendment of a particular road uh an amendment to the tra the master transportation plan? Wouldn't that have to be an agenda item? We don't have to amend the master transportation plan to identify this as a truck rep. Okay. And

1:22:36 – 1:22:570

it's not part of the general plan. It's a completely different stay. There's a little bit of confusion in the because it was listed in the last applicant's uh reszone request and there was just a little bit of confusing language in there and so I'm glad we clarified there. But yes, if we update the master transportation plan, you absolutely

1:22:56 – 1:24:000

Okay. So, we have a site plan review. Yeah. Um so um presenting item SPR uh 2025-086. Um Adobe Rock is requesting um a smaller setback um for their proposed pavilion. Um it's going to be just over three feet from Village uh Boulevard. Um and so our land use code says that um commercial zones can have up to a zero um foot setback with uh planning commission's approval. So that's just what they're requesting is just it's normally a 20 foot setback for like a front setback, but it can be

1:23:56 – 1:24:360

I have a question as I was reviewing this and driving by every day. This is on the east side of SR36, right? Yes. On there. So, oh, okay. So, I didn't realize the right next to where their scale house is. Their scale house. I didn't realize the village boulevard extended across the freeway like Yeah. So, that was a new development in the last couple of years. So, the county um made an agreement with those gravel pits and it eventually will connect all the way up to Drew Bay. Oh, okay. Because it's just dirt. Yeah,

1:24:34 – 1:25:130

it I I knew that because we have the truck route coming behind off of Bates and and Drew, but I didn't realize that was going to be public road eventually. Yeah, it'll be a nice road when the gravel pits are done. See, we are looking ahead. Okay. Any So really there's not any concern with the three-foot setback because that road is dedicated as a 100 foot rightway which is our max currently right now anyway. So okay

1:25:14 – 1:25:420

and it's just a pavilion. It's not it's something they can pick up and move and since this is a subdivision we can approve. So just clarify but thanks. Um, we will open to public. You won't have public hearing on this. Yep. It doesn't require anything. You need to make this. It just has to be approved through you. Okay.

1:25:44 – 1:26:290

Um, I make motion that we approve SPR 2025 dash 086 um to approve the three-foot setback for Adobe Rock Pavilion. Second motion and a second to approve. I changed those numbers on me. SPR 2025086 with the three-foot setback. Commissioner Mitchell, how do you vote? Yes. Commissioner Alder, yes. Commissioner Sts, yes. Commissioner Beck, yes. Commissioner Dao,

1:26:290

yes. Commissioner Scott, I vote yes. Okay.

1:26:390

This next one won't require public hearing either. This next one? Yeah.

1:26:43 – 1:27:310

Okay. It's um 2025 037. Applicants are requesting final plat approval for the amended plat of prickley per acre subdivision. Um yeah, so this one is already exists as a subdivision. It's just north of Wendover City. Um sorry there were I had a presentation and I didn't send it to Michelle. So, um they're just requesting um an extra lot and then making an internal private road through to access all of those. Um really that's only the the only amendment.

1:27:28 – 1:28:100

Trish, do they need to see that? Um it's already recorded technically. I don't know. Yeah. Um, so we're just going through approval as the subdivision to get an approved private road here. How many lots are there now? Three. Three. So they're just putting a fourth lot. What's the size of the lot? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I don't know each of them, but yeah, they conform to the RF5 zoning. Okay. Yeah.

1:28:09 – 1:28:540

Yep. So, it's all been approved through all the reviewing agencies. Um, we've actually because this one's amended plat are a little bit different. So, um maybe the state code will eventually change it. For right now, you still see final plat amendments like the amendments are all just final. So, you'll I don't know how this is going to work out, but so that's why it's coming before you. Um, yeah. So, it's really just formality. You're just the last reviewing agency to approve it. Everybody else has approved it and okayed the road and all that. Okay. Just one question. You had to withhold the recommendations.

1:28:55 – 1:29:310

Is that right? Yes. Is that private? Um, it's not. This was kind of a tricky situation. So, it wasn't. You'd have to see the plat before. So that lot two was one lot. That whole arm and everything that flag lot was just part of the lot. Lot one and two is one lot. Okay. Uh well no lot two and three were one lot kind of. Yeah. Those and so they technically all had access off Leppy Road right there. But when they created the fourth

1:29:29 – 1:30:130

lot and they split those and changed that it landlocked it. So they had to they they created an easement. It's recorded there already. That's why I was like I don't know I we don't need to conditionally use approve it if we just approve it with the plat. Um so we just need to approve the amendment with adding the lot and the private road and it will take care of that. It's not that section. No. Uh, Lappy is the corner off to the top left and then they had a driveway and everything there for the other lot. They made it an easement. They've recorded all that.

1:30:09 – 1:31:030

Um, so we just need to approve it as this. And then um yeah, just make sure um I guess just to clarify with the the planning staff recommendation is that you grant approval for prickly pair acres subdivision amended one with the private road prickly per lane. Um and then when they go record that they will also record the it's kind of a weird process in the recorder's office. They'll have to record the road maintenance agreement at the same time they do this plat and they'll write in that uh little amend the recording document number on this plat when that happens so it'll overlap the you know

1:30:59 – 1:31:430

yeah same thing okay does that answer your question yes okay any other questions Do we have a motion? I'll make the motion. Recommend approval. Approval. Is that the right beverage? Okay. For AMD SUB2025-037, Prickley Paris Acres Subdivision amendment one to include the private road. Yeah. Okay. We have a motion. Can I have a second? Second. We have a second by Commissioner Mitchell. Um, Commissioner Alder, how do you vote? Yes. Commissioner Dao,

1:31:43 – 1:32:090
