    Fire Station 253 rezone and site plan

    Approved with conditions · 5-0

    The 1.75 acres of city-owned land north of Wride Memorial Park on Mid Valley Road moved from Agriculture to Public Facilities, with a site plan for the new station including a community room the council had requested. The Planning Commission recommended approval unanimously, conditioned on a six-foot masonry wall on the west property line. Gray asked about land ownership if the city leaves the fire service area; staff said the city would buy the stations but not the land. No one spoke at the hearing.

    Fire station impact fee waiver, Sweetwater Fire Station and Fire Station 253

    Approved · 5-0

    City Administrator Paul Jerome said the Unified Fire Authority had granted Millcreek City's waiver request for its city hall and that Eagle Mountain was asking for reciprocal waivers for new fire stations; it is the authority's first such request from Eagle Mountain. The item was pulled from the consent agenda so staff could check whether other UFSA cities waive the fees. The council approved the resolution.
