Mayor Peterson asked Craig Hall if the item needed to be tabled.

Craig Hall replied it is really not a table; it is a continuance at their request and asked about the date on a letter that the Clerk sent out to the property owners.

Mayor Peterson and Kristi Barker looked at the date of the letter in the packets to verify it had the correct date on it.

Mayor Peterson asked for a motion to continue action item 8c.

Councilmember Sheltman I so move.

Councilmember Roberts, Councilmember Sheltman, could you throw a date on that, I assume seeing a date on it instead of leaving it open?

d. Discussion and possible action for a Zone Change on Parcels L-5-A-3, L-5-A-2 and L-4-A-4 for Doyle and Kevin Hatfield from Residential (R-1-2) and R-2-2 to Commercial (C) on approximately 14.36 acres

Town Council discussed the application.

Councilmember Roberts stated Planning Commission’s recommendation was to deny it because they wanted to maintain a space between the adjoining properties and potential commercial property; however, he was not sure that when someone is asking for a zone change, they have to be specific on what they are going to do on the property. If a zone change is approved, it would be anything that is allowed in that zone. Access to those properties for ingress, egress has to be decided when someone decides what they want to do with the property.

Mayor Peterson, agreed that you can’t zone towards what you plan on doing with the property, because any subsequent owner that wants it zoned what it is at the time, is able to do what is permitted under that, and is able to file for a conditional use under that. He thinks it is premature to say to them when requesting a zone change “what exactly do you plan on doing with the property”. It could mislead Town Council into rezoning it, because they like an application for the property without factoring in that there are dozens of possible uses that could be there once it is zoned commercial.

Mayor Peterson asked for a motion to affirm the recommendation of the Planning Commission and deny the application for a zone change on parcel Parcels L-5-A-3, L-5-A-2 and L-4-A-4 from residential to commercial on approximately 14.3 acres.

Councilmember Sheltman, I so move. 2nd by Councilmember Stirling. Motion passed in a Roll Call Vote.

9. Discussion Items:

a. Main Street Storm Water Study

Councilmember Sheltman indicated the Mayor and he had a meeting with UDOT where they looked at the drainage problems on Main Street. Karl Rassmussen arranged the meeting to discuss who was going to pay for what. UDOT indicated, verbally, 71 percent with the Town paying for the rest. It would be a drainage system that went from the store all the way down Main Street. Elliott continued to discuss the storm water study that Karl Rassmussen prepared for the Town.

Mayor Peterson indicated he has not heard back yet on if Leeds has been put on the AOG list yet and discussed the study further with Councilmembers.

10. Citizen Comments:

Kohl Furley, Battalion chief from Hurricane Valley Fire department gave an update on the fire department. He indicated the fire station in Coral Canyon is complete and staring May 1st they will start to service Rockville, Springville.

Councilmember Roberts asked how they could put a fire station in a district that has their own coverage.

Kohl Furley replied they share the building and explained it further.

Councilmember Stirling asked if there is anything that should be put into the quarterly newsletter to help with fire safety.

Kohl Furley replied yes and discussed fire safety for weeds and trees and another good thing would be on a controlled burn.

Mayor Peterson stated there is also a Mutual Aid Agreement between Hurricane Valley and Washington as well and continued to discuss it with Kohl.

11. Staff Reports:

Councilmember Stirling indicated she was contacted by a Mr. Petit. He was concerned about the first curve on Vista Road, and the speed factor for the safety of children. He requested the Town put in a speed bump similar to what we have on Valley Road. The Mayor indicated it was illegal to have speed bumps because of safety vehicles so they don’t have to slow down. So what we came up with is between the hours of 4 to 6 we will request having the sheriff there.

Mayor Peterson indicated with the budget, we will be looking to have a preliminary budget on the May 9th meeting. One thing I would like to mention, as we are having a hard time getting a treasurer, so are other communities. We might want to consolidate with others. We are the only community that does not provide benefits to our employees, with the exception of Rockville, so I would like to look into that as well.

Mayor Peterson indicated there was a DETC meet and there is 100 million dollars available in State funding for transportation. The route to Zion’s National Park passed though their preliminary process to help provide bus transportation.

Mayor Peterson discussed the 150 years celebration the Town is planning.

12. Closed Meeting: None

Mayor Peterson adjourned the meeting.
