Agenda, item by item
Item 17.B · Budget
Sales tax revenue bonds, Series 2022
Approved · 4-0
Bond counsel Laura Lewis set parameters of a maximum 5 percent interest rate, 31-year maturity and 3 percent discount, with a true interest cost closer to 2.5 percent and repayment anticipated over 20 years. City Administrator Paul Jerome said the projects include widening Eagle Mountain Boulevard from two to four lanes past Aviator Avenue, replacing the Pony Express roundabout with a signal, adding lanes on Mid Valley Road and Old Airport Road and a sewer trunk line, at an estimated $16 million against a proposed $20 million bond. He said the bond will not raise taxes and a Cedar Pass Ranch waterline repair of $1 million to $2 million could be added, which Gray supported. A public hearing is set for March 15, 2022. The original motion for $22 million was replaced by an amended motion for not more than $25 million.

Item 14.A-B · Zoning
Eagle Mountain Data Campus rezone
Approved · 4-0
Applicant representative Corey Berg said a buyer wants to close on 1.5 acres and begin development, with the remainder staying a sod farm until developed; a site plan is expected in late April. The site is zoned Agricultural, designated Business Park/Light Industry and proposed for the Regional Technology and Industry Overlay. Burnham asked whether to wait for the overlay review and Gray cited water and power concerns but did not oppose; Jerome said Rocky Mountain Power confirmed sufficient capacity; Steve Mumford said water-use concerns would be addressed in development agreements; the overlay is scheduled to repeal in May 2022. No one spoke.
Item 15.A-B · Zoning
Rush Creek rezone to Light Manufacturing/Distribution and 15-lot industrial plat
Approved with conditions · 4-0
The 38.80-acre site, changed from Employment Center/Campus to Business Park/Light Industry in July 2021, is rezoned from Agriculture/Rural Density to LMD with a 15-lot industrial subdivision. The Planning Commission recommended approval Jan. 25 with three conditions; the council removed the buffer and trail conditions and kept the City Engineer requirements, including a traffic analysis before final plat. Applicant representative Dan Ford said a masonry wall and 15-foot open space were sufficient; Gray supported the project, citing a shortage of this product type. No one spoke.
- Acres: 38.80
- Lots: 15
Item 16.A · City code
Animal zoning regulations (Chapter 6.10)
Approved · 4-0
Tayler Jensen summarized changes: setbacks from residences removed, fenced area for horses, mules and buffalo cut to 2,500 square feet per animal, minimums for pigs (half acre) and buffalo (one acre) restored, a reasonable-person standard for half-size animals, pigs not counted until weaned, and fowl exempt. Pig allowances are two on half to 0.99 acre, four on one to 1.99, six on two to 2.99 and eight on three acres or more. The council agreed not to count offspring until weaned. Residents submitted nearly twenty comments; the minutes do not summarize them.
Item 17.A · Development
Oquirrh Mountain second amended and restated master development agreement
Approved with conditions · 4-0
Mumford said park timing requires the petroglyph and hillside parks to be complete before recording the plat with the 130th lot, with partial escrow release language added and 10 percent retained for warranty. Gray wanted more parking for the natural and historical area; Love said playgrounds are needed near homes. Applicant representative Nick Mason asked that any escrow amendment not need further council approval. Approved with one pro-rata park escrow reduction and an exhibit change to five-foot side and ten-foot garage-side setbacks.
Item 9-13 · Contract
