Item 14.A · Development
Development agreement with Mountainland Supply
Approved · 5-0
City Attorney Marcus Draper and applicant Matt Cook discussed a new store in the Rush Creek Industrial development. Mountainland wants a retaining wall on the property line while city code requires a 3-foot setback; the agreement gives a legal path. The motion was delayed so staff could research a building on adjacent storage units behind the lot.

Approved · 3-2
City Recorder Gina Olsen presented a land disposal application from a homeowner for a portion of Utah County parcel 38:335:0148, designated significant real property. Four people spoke at the 8:14 to 8:29 p.m. hearing.
