b. Discussion and possible action for a Zone Change on Parcel L-78-A-1-A-2 for Steve and Bonnie Mathews from Residential (R-1-2) to Commercial (C) on approximately 4.67 acres.

Ian Crowe explained where the property is located.

Councilmember Sheltman, stated he read what the Town Planner Bob wrote about big boxes; however, he doesn’t see it in the General Plan and with this lot, it is not buildable because of the slope.

Ian Crowe explained where the road is on the property.

Councilmember Sheltman, indicated it is small, usable land, for commercial, and right now, we have 9 acres of commercial being used, and 26 acres that is not being used. With the road that has been cut there last year, the Town was not aware of it.

Ian Crowe, the existing problem is the road is dangerous. They would have to come in with a site plan to move the road.

Councilmember Sheltman, in the General Plan, that road is over utilized.

Councilmember Roberts stated he thinks you have to segregate. The applicants are only looking for a zone change and with anyone developing that property; they are going to have to deal with the traffic right there. The zone change would allow anything that is allowed to that commercial zone.

Town Council, Ian Crowe and Steve Mathews discussed the road to the property.

Councilmember Sheltman stated he understand this is just a zone change, but if it is commercial, it will have more traffic and indicated the traffic on Silver Reef Road is already too much.

Mayor Peterson stated these are issues that will have to be addressed when we know what the property will be zoned and developed.

Steve Mathews, indicated for the zone change, he has a small excavating business and is looking for a small yard and hopefully a place to park equipment.

Town Council and Steve Mathews continued to discuss it. It was decided the item would be tabled until the 26th so more research could be done to find out more on the permitted uses in each zone.

Councilmember Sheltman made a motion to table the item until April 26th. 2nd by Councilmember Stirling. Motion passed in a Roll Call Vote.

Ian Crowe with the parcel on the north side, back in 1996, at that time they thought they had bought a commercial property. They thought it was commercial and would like to research the history.

Councilmember Roberts, that zone did not change.

Mayor Peterson asked Ian if he was asking for the item to be tabled.

Ian Crowe replied, yes please table it

9. Discussion Items:

a. Town Attorney

Town Council discussed the applicants and will look to bring a contract with Craig Hall to the next meeting.

b. Cemetery Property

Mayor Peterson indicated he has no new information on the property.

c. General Plan and Transportation Plan Grant

Ryan Jolley with Jones & DeMille explained how they would help the Town get some funds to help with the General Plan and the Master Road Plan. He indicated they have helped other Cities. The first thing that would need to be done is go to the Dixie MPO and give them a letter and ask for some of their transportation money and with the AOG, Leeds is already on their Capital Improvement Plan list.

Town Council discussed it and all are in favor to proceed with trying to get funds.

10. Citizen Comments:

Angela Rohr, thanked Councilmember Roberts for mentioning that UDOT has ownership of the right-of-way by Silver Reef Road and asked about the five acres that was leveled out.

Mayor Peterson, replied the Ordinance indicates if someone disturbs land, they have to restore it.

Angela Rohr, with the two Commercial properties adjacent to that are they land locked? Do they have outlets?

11. Staff Reports:

Councilmember Roberts, gave an update on WCSWD.

Angela Rohr, gave a history on when she served on the board for WCSWD.

Councilmember Roberts expressed concern with the septic permitting and the requirement for the property size. He finds it problematic that Washington County Commissioners have given Washington Conservancy District oversight on how septic systems are designed in the County based on a study done in the 1990s. He wondered if it is the responsibility for local municipalities to push back a little bit to have them show us some studies.

Mayor Peterson stated the study is something that we could have the Town Attorney review.

Mayor Peterson stated with the DTAC meeting, part of that was for the call for those grants we discussed.

Mayor Peterson, indicated he had a meeting with Rick Sant and he has submitted the BLM Easement and Rick has been discussing with LDWA the water tank and water loop.

Mayor Peterson, indicated there will be a storm water meeting tomorrow with UDOT.

Mayor Peterson, regarding Treasurer we have one written application and one verbal interest. I was going to ask if there is any objection to using our accounting firm until we get the position filled.

Mayor Peterson discussed the roads.
