Removal of lot size transition standards

The Planning Commission voted unanimously Dec. 8 to recommend approval with four conditions: OS-N zoning for the western 1.1 acres, Agriculture zoning with no accessory dwelling units for the strip between the PacifiCorp corridor and the road dedication, a 66-foot right-of-way dedication, and RA2 for the rest. Council Member Love opposed prohibiting accessory dwelling units; Council Member Clark expressed concern about the impact of council decisions on residents.

The county will prosecute city class B and C misdemeanors. The 50/50 citation credit split, about $92,000 a year, ends.

Item 15.A · Development
Scenic Mountain Phase C master site plan
Tabled · 4-0
The plan covers about 35 acres south of Wride Memorial Highway and northeast of The Ranches; Phase C shrank from 7.22 to 5.39 acres because of UDOT acquisitions and proposes 84 townhomes (down from 120 units). The master development agreement allows 10.15 units per acre; the overall project is 8.1. The Planning Commission voted 4-1 Dec. 8 to recommend denial. Staff proposed 14 conditions, including a five-foot retaining wall maximum and a ten-foot pickleball fence. Council Members Clark and Curtis said elevations were inferior to the agreement's exhibit, and Curtis called the five-foot wall limit non-negotiable. Applicant Jason Harris of Fieldstone Homes offered a parking alternative; Clark disagreed that parallel parking qualifies. The council tabled the plan and directed the applicant to return with elevations that differentiate individual units, an updated parking plan and an amenity plan with better connectivity.
- Acres: just under 35 overall; Phase C 5.39
- Units: 84 townhomes proposed
- Planning Commission: 4-1 recommend denial
Item 16.4 · Development
Brylee Farms preliminary plat amendment, open space and amenities
Approved with conditions · 3-1
The amendment replaces the Phase A playground with a 2,000-square-foot pool, clubhouse and parking and expands Phase B amenities, for 1,003 points against 737 required. The item was tabled Dec. 1, and the applicant asked to proceed as submitted. The Planning Commission had voted unanimously Nov. 10 to recommend approval. Council Member Clark questioned counting excess pool square footage toward clubhouse requirements. The council approved it with removal of two Phase B parking spaces for a landscaped island and pedestrian crossing.
Item 17.A · City code
City administrator and board appointment ordinance (chapters 2.05, 2.10, 2.16, 2.27)
Tabled · 4-0
Council Member Love asked for public posting of the city administrator position; the draft says the process shall at minimum include public noticing, and board appointee names must go to the council at least five days before public noticing. The council tabled the ordinance so the city attorney can make five amendments: posting requirements, striking the mayor's hiring-process line, an annual administrator performance review, and designee submission of board appointee names.
Item 11 · Other

The consent agenda released bonds for Arrival Phase B Plat 5, Brylee Farms Phase A Plat 2, Overland Phase C Plat 2 and Spring Run Phase C Plat 1 (into warranty), and Scenic Mountain Phase A Plats 1 and 2 (out of warranty).
