Silver Fox Cascade master site plan
Discussed
The proposal is 6.3 acres at the southwest corner of Porters Crossing Parkway and Pony Express Parkway with Cascade Collision Auto Repair on Lot 1, including an 8-foot fence around the enclosed parking area. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval with conditions. Applicants set a 15-foot minimum setback from Tickville Wash, with the fence and retaining wall at least 20 feet from the wash's top edge. The city attorney said the setback is left to council discretion; Council Member Love raised slope concerns.

Item 1.E · Presentation
Wasatch Wing and Clay presentation, proposed Cedar Valley rifle range
Discussed
The presenters proposed a range on private land abutting BLM land behind White Hills, about a mile from the nearest homes, operating five to six days a week with a certified range safety officer. The land is designated residential in the Pole Canyon Master Development Plan (645 housing units). The city attorney said a municipal code amendment and possibly a master development agreement would be needed.
Item 13.A · Other
Business license appeal, home-based dog grooming business
Approved with conditions · 5-0
A 2015 license allowed up to four dogs, 12 clients an hour and two employees; renewal was not timely filed, and complaints since 2016 cited odor, animal count, noise, traffic and wastewater discharge.

The owners said they were relocating and offered an eight-dog limit and no boarding. A first motion by Council Member Burnham failed for lack of a second. The council then approved a one-year license from Oct. 13, 2020 with conditions: no more than eight dogs, client dogs only 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., grooming only, controlled outdoor access, inspection access, immediate revocation for violations and traffic signage, and no further licenses at that address.

Butterfield annexation petition and zoning, about 22 acres Agricultural/Rural Density One and about 182 acres Parks and Open Space
