Agenda, item by item
Item 13.A · Development
SilverLake 32 site plan
Approved with conditions · 4-0
Plat 32 covers 91 lots on about 9.92 acres (33 cluster lots and 58 townhomes) in Area C of the SilverLake master plan. It requires 31 guest stalls and provides 27, with a 40-foot private right-of-way against the 43 feet approved for Plat 31, and 1.46 acres of open space across Plats 31 and 32. Council Member Colby Curtis asked staff to verify required masonry wrapping on finished units and voiced frustration that the developer did not keep the agreement in good faith; Council Member Carolyn Love was disappointed the phase does not connect to the asphalt trail. Steve Mumford said the agreement's example elevations show masonry wrapping though the text does not address it. The council approved the five Planning Commission conditions (collector road fencing, more parking, water-wise landscaping, matching rear and side materials, 43-foot right-of-way) plus 18 inches of masonry wrapping to the side of units.
- Acres: about 9.92
- Lots: 91 (33 cluster lots, 58 townhomes)
- Guest parking: 27 provided, 31 required
Item 14.A · City code
Utility accounts in owner's name (Chapter 13.20.050)
Approved · 4-0
Evan Berrett said the rule requires utility accounts to be in the property owner's name to improve landlord communication and prevent unpaid bills after tenants leave. Landlords who want tenants to pay directly can sign a utility service agreement, bills will also go to landlords, and a six-month grace period is planned. Love supported the change; Council Member Melissa Clark worried renters unaware of the process could go days without water; Berrett said a new online application guides tenants.
Item 1.B · Development
Oquirrh Mountain Ranch amendment (work session)
Discussed
Tayler Jensen presented two options for the 2011 plan of 120.4 acres (reduced in 2016 to a maximum of 346 units). Option A has 229 lots with 40-, 45- and 50-foot frontages (maximum 283 units); Option B has 206 lots with 45-, 50- and 55-foot frontages (maximum 260 units); the applicant said 206 units was the minimum for financial viability. Current RC standards require 58-foot frontage. Curtis would consider a 50-foot minimum frontage and a small multifamily area; Council Member Donna Burnham credited the wildlife corridor dedication and lot variety; Clark worried multifamily could undermine the outcome; Love said greater lot depth and 10-foot garage setbacks mitigate narrow frontages. No motion.
Item 1.C · Development
Eagle Quest concept plan (work session)
Discussed
Applicant representative Kurt Ostler showed two concepts for a parcel west of Lake Mountain Road: 484 lots with a dedication of 12.27 acres of road right-of-way (56 more lots in exchange), or 428 lots without full collector dedication. A second parcel of about 160 acres west of Overland, north of Rush Creek, has mixed zones and a hospital user that asked for no single-family homes. Curtis argued the 12.5 acres of agricultural land equals about 2.5 lots, not 56. Members supported hospital and retail uses and suggested fewer multifamily units and development triggers. No action.
Item 1.D · Public safety
Fire Station 251 color scheme (work session)
Discussed
UFA Assistant Chief Dominic Burchett and Dan Gasser of AJC Architects proposed dark brick, wood accents and glass doors. Members approved the scheme, preferring midnight black brick; Love and Clark said one side looked flat.
Item 10-13 · Contract
Consent agenda: Lone Tree signal change order
Approved · 4-0
The council approved Change Order 1 for the Lone Tree traffic signal with B Jackson Construction and the Sept. 7 minutes; a conservation easement agreement was removed at the applicant's request. The minutes give no dollar amount.
