Agenda, item by item
Item 19.A · Appointment
Mayor Pro Tempore for 2022
Approved · 5-0
Council Member Brett Wright moved to elect Council Member Carolyn Love under Utah Code 10-3b-302, asked that January emails on the process be entered into the record, and withdrew the motion after discussion that city code has the mayor select the appointee subject to council approval. Mayor Tom Westmoreland cited a 23-year precedent. Council Member Donna Burnham then moved to approve Love's appointment.
Item 16.A-B · Subdivision
Triumph general plan amendment, rezone, master development plan and plat
Approved with conditions · 5-0
The 161.99-acre site at 2400 N. Lake Road is rezoned to Foothill Residential for 235 lots (233 single-family detached on one-third to one-acre lots). Applicant Scot Hazard said the project is bordered on three sides by major roads and requires 11 acres for infrastructure. The average lot size is 0.48 acre, below the half-acre Foothill Residential minimum, after nine lots were added to accommodate an existing home on the parcel; Wright said the minimum must be met. The council approved the amendment, rezone and master plan, then the plat with five conditions including adjusting to meet Foothill Residential minimum and average lot sizes. Council Member Colby Curtis asked about the city obtaining an orphaned segment between Ault Farms and Triumph needed for the Old Airport extension.
- Acres: 161.99
- Lots: 235
- Average lot size: 0.48 acre
Item 14.A-B · Subdivision
Eagle Ridge general plan amendment, rezone and preliminary plat
Approved with conditions · 5-0
The parcel annexed Nov. 17, 2020 moves from Agriculture/Rural Density One to Two and is rezoned RD1 for a 17-unit plat. The plat fails block length and cul-de-sac connectivity standards, which Love waived. The Planning Commission voted 4-0 on Dec. 14. Curtis worried lot sizes may not allow redundant septic drainage fields; a resident, Tanya Anderson, wrote in opposition citing cul-de-sac length, runoff and traffic. Applicant Kim Rindlisbacher said septic drainage will be confirmed before final plat. The plat was approved on condition that a cluster mailbox site is provided if the postal service requires one.
- Units: 17
- Parcel: 58:044:0011
Item 15.A-B · Development
Eagle Quest ordinance and preliminary plat
Tabled · 5-0
Applicant Josh Cummings asked to move Old Airport Road to the east property line, saying straightening benefits connectivity, safety and signal spacing, and offered an 8 percent road dedication. Dave Shippen, owner of the northern property, asked the city to keep the general plan alignment. Wright, Gray, Curtis and Burnham favored the general plan alignment, with Burnham citing City Engineer Chris Trusty's concerns about speed in bad weather. The council gave feedback to redesign with the general plan alignment and tabled both items.
Item 17.A · City code
Shooting range ordinance
Approved · 5-0
The ordinance allows indoor ranges as special uses and creates an Outdoor Shooting Range Overlay Zone the council can apply; exploding targets are discouraged but allowed at the owner's discretion with the owner assuming liability. The Planning Commission recommended approval Nov. 9, 2021. Five emails supported it.
Item 17.B · City code
Monument sign ordinance (Chapter 17.80)
Approved with conditions · 4-1
Applicant Bill Gaskill asked for combined signs at each drive access, 20-foot combined height, no masonry requirement and 6-foot individual signs. The Planning Commission recommended four changes 4-0. Burnham's motion with a 16-foot combined height and no masonry failed 2-3. Curtis's motion passed 4-1: up to two combined signs per frontage, individual signs of six feet, design elements of eight feet and no Airpark references. Burnham dissented, saying she wanted to compromise on height.
Item 17.C · City code
Regional Technology and Industry overlay amendment
Tabled · 4-1
Mumford explained the overlay streamlines approval for projects with more than 100 permanent workers or 100,000 square feet in phase one, was used for Facebook, Tyson and Google, and is set to repeal May 31, 2022. The Planning Commission recommended approval 3-1 with repeal in 2027 and a review in 2026. Curtis supported repeal; Burnham supported a two-year extension; Wright thought 100 employees too low; Gray supported repeal or a two-year extension. Burnham's motion for a Nov. 30, 2023 repeal failed 1-4. The council tabled it, and Burnham and Wright will work with staff.
Item 9-13 · Contract
Consent agenda: engineering design, manhole scanning, change order, plats
