- Position expiration review
The commissioners were all given a paper with a list of who’s positions were up for the years 2012 and 2014.
- Agriculture Building Application from Tyler and Sherrie Jacobsen for 3035 S Big Hollow Road.
Tyler Jacobsen was present to explain that they have submitted an application to build an agricultural building to store hay for their horses. No animals would be housed in this building.
The staff report shows that their home exists within the residential, agricultural five acre zone but the lot itself is an approved lot of record of approximately 1 acre on the corner of Big Hollow Road and 3000 South. The Jacobsen’s need approval from the Planning Commission to add the agricultural building.
The Commissioners discussed the set back issues and Chairman Bunker read the town code, 8.21.20 to them.
Commissioner Hobbs moved to approve this application as submitted with Commissioner Smith seconding. The vote was unanimous and the motions carried.
- Daniel Academy
Chairman Bunker read a letter the Town received from the Daniel Academy requesting reasonable accommodation.
The Planning Commission will be submitting a letter of recommendation to the Town Council at some future date but first they need to define/outline the “process” of “reasonable accommodation”. Chairman Bunker handed papers to the Commissioners of examples of how other towns have handled “reasonable accommodation”. He has asked the Commissioners to study these and communicate with one another before the next planning meeting where they will address this.
Merry Duggin, town recorder, will email the sample letters and Daniel Academy’s request letter to all the Commissioners.
Tom Rawlings, a public member in attendance, commented said that he has been thinking about ADA accommodation and the controversy over 8 students versus 16 students. He consulted with his friend who is a lawyer explaining our situation. His friend thinks there is a difference between a residential versus a treatment facility and that a treatment facility becomes a business. Chairman Bunker explained that an ADA facility does not become a business but remains a residential treatment facility. He referred Mr. Rawlings to Utah State Code 62a-2-101.
- Administrative issues. Permits, fee, open board seats, planning actions, etc.
Administratively The Church of Latter-day Saints will be submitting a conditional use permit for property they have purchased for a ward building.
Our next meeting date in February is in conflict with the Daniels Irrigation meeting so our meeting has been changed to Thursday 16 Feb 2012
