Council annexes YD3 and Coleman parcels, accepts tentative budget, signs MAG deals for 200 South intersections
May 14, 2024, 7:00 p.m. · American Fork City Hall, 31 N. Church St.
After residents along 200 South complained about construction traffic, missing sidewalks and potholes, the mayor promised a town hall and said the city had bought 30 acres in the area for a park and public-safety site. The council annexed the 0.20-acre YD3 parcel into the TOD zone and the 6.957-acre Coleman property into the Marina (M-1) zone, accepted the Jes and Claire Scott annexation petition, and adopted the tentative FY2025 budget with a June 11 hearing. It approved a reimbursement agreement with Deer Park LLC for 1100 South improvements, a striping contract with Allstar Striping, and two Mountainland Association of Governments funding agreements for the 200 South intersections at 100 East and 300 West. The PARC tax disbursement was pulled.
