1) PUBLIC COMMENT: No comments

2) DISCUSS ZONE CHANGE- GEBO:
Tim Pack attorney for the Bumper Dump located at 1680 W 3000 South was present to represent Mr. Russell. Mr. Pack stated that the property is specifically just storing equipment and that no customers come to the location. The home is currently occupied by an employee, who is the driver. They are request a rezone from RA-5 to Commercial. He has reviewed the master plan and believes that said property would qualify under the enterprise zone. There would be a very low impact to the community and elect to put up a privacy fence if required.

Mayor Turner stated that he believes the area several properties that are in the projected enterprise zone and because of that it is not just an automatic status that applies to those properties.

Mr. Pack stated that he believes the are makes sense in that it is close to the highway. Council member Grady asked if there was a conditional use that would apply to the property. Council member Bunker stated that there is not because it is RA-5 Zone.

Council member Bunker further asked what the intent was with the home. He stated that with the change of use from RA-5 to Commercial, the house would no longer be residential use, but could be used as an office.

Ben Russell stated that they would entertain changing the zoning as well. Tim Pack asked for a 10-minute break to speak to his client as he was not aware of this information in the code.

Moved to item 4, as High Mountain Waste has a pending approval for possible business license.

3) WEBB TRUST SUBDIVISION APPLICATION:
James Dahl was present to discuss the Webb Trust application for preliminary approval with conditional modification.

Ryan Taylor stated that he has not reviewed the final draft completely but made the recommendation that all items need to be in compliance, the right-of-way properly dedicated as public right-of-way and there may be some possible technical issues that will need to be brought to compliance.

Mr. Dahl stated that there will be no issues with coming into compliance and have made the necessary property deeded for the right-of-way. Ryan Taylor stated that the 50’ right-of-way needs to be on the plot as public and believes that it shows private at this time.

Council member Bunker asked if it was dedicated to the town? He also stated that the irrigation that is located on the property is not showing on the plat map and this item was mentioned in the Planning Meeting as needing to be completed.

Ryan Taylor stated that the irrigation line is buried under ground and feels that it should be on the map; as well as feels that the risers need to be surveyed. Steve Webb mentioned that the irrigation runs in the middle of the lots.

Mayor Turner asked about fire hydrants for the subdivision lots? Council member Bunker stated that the map indicated two locations for hydrants. Ryan Taylor stated that there is 740’ which should put a hydrant every 400’.

This was seconded by Council member Glodowski. All members in favor.
