RESOLUTION - Appointing Judges to be Considered as Alternate Municipal Justice Court Judges When the Sitting Judge Cannot Hear a Case RECOMMENDATION: The Director of Administrative Services requests the City Council, by resolution, appoint Vernon Romney, Sherlynn Fenstermaker, Scott Cullimore, Lane McCotter, Randy Birch, and Doug Nielsen as alternate judges to the Orem Municipal Justice Court. PRESENTER: Richard Manning POTENTIALLY AFFECTED AREA: Citywide BACKGROUND: From time-to-time a sitting judge cannot hear cases either due to the judge being absent from the court for illness or other matter or the judge having a conflict of interest and being disqualified from hearing a particular case. State law provides for the appointment of approved alternates to be called upon as needed. The City had previously approved Rick Romney, Provo municipal justice court, Sherlynn W. Fenstermaker, Springville City municipal justice court, and Scott J. Cullimore, Utah County justice court, as alternates. The current list of alternate judges is comprised of full-time judges; it is wise to broaden the list of alternate judges to ensure the efficient flow of court business. All judges recommended for the alternate list are approved by the State of Utah office of the Courts. SCHEDULED ITEMS 15. MOTION - CANVASS AND CERTIFICATION - 2013 Municipal Primary Election Results RECOMMENDATION: The City Recorder recommends that the City Council complete the canvass and, by motion, certify the 2013 Municipal Primary Election results. PRESENTER: Donna Weaver POTENTIALLY AFFECTED AREA: Citywide BACKGROUND: Pursuant to State law, it is necessary for the City Council, as the Board of Canvassers, to canvass the election no sooner than fourteen days after the completion of the ballot. After the canvassing has been completed, it will be necessary for the Council, by motion, to officially certify the results of the Canvass. 6:00 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING 16. ORDINANCE - Amending Section 22-5-3(A) of the Orem City Code and the Zoning Map of Orem, Utah, by Rezoning Property Located Generally at 775 East 1600 North from R12 to R8 REQUEST: Due to a noticing error, this item must be continued to September 10, 2013, at 6:20 p.m. 6:00 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING 17. ORDINANCE ? Approving a Boundary Line Adjustment with the City of Provo for Property Located Generally at 1450 South 1140 East RECOMMENDATION: The applicant requests the City Council, by ordinance, adjust a common boundary line with the City of Provo for property located generally at 1450 South 1140 East. PRESENTER: Jason Bench POTENTIALLY AFFECTED AREA: Hillcrest Neighborhood BACKGROUND: The applicant owns property located generally at 1465 South 1140 East. He recently purchased property previously owned by Riverside Country Club with the intent to add the parcel to his property as one-single lot. The property purchased is within the Provo City limits. The applicant requests the common boundary line between Orem City and Provo City be adjusted. On June 11, 2013, the City Council approved a Resolution of Intent for a Boundary Line Agreement with the City of Provo. A sixty-day protest period is required by law to provide opportunity for citizens to comment on the proposed request. To date, no concerns have been received. Currently, the City of Provo is also processing the applicant?s request. The Provo City Council meets on September 17, 2013, regarding this issue. Staff concurs with the positive recommendation from the Planning Commission and recommends the City Council approve the boundary line adjustment. 6:00 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING 18. ORDINANCE - Amending Section 22-19-1 and Appendix A of the Orem City Code as They Pertain to Various Uses in the M1, M2, and CM Zones RECOMMENDATION: The Department of Development Services requests the City Council, by ordinance, amend Section 22-19-1 and Appendix A of the Orem City Code as they pertain to various uses in the M1, M2, and CM zones. PRESENTER: Jason Bench POTENTIALLY AFFECTED AREA: Citywide BACKGROUND: The M1, M2, and CM zones are generally located west of the I 15 corridor in Orem. The uses currently allowed in these zones are industrial uses such as manufacturing, shipping, storage, warehousing, and other similar types of uses. As part of an ongoing long range plan review for the Geneva Road corridor, the Development Services Department requests that certain uses in the M1, M2, and CM zones be changed from ?Permitted? to ?Not Permitted? to facilitate future changes along the corridor as a result of the improvements to Geneva Road, the continued development of Vineyard and the potential redevelopment of many areas in Orem along the corridor. The Orem General Plan states, ?Heavy industrial uses should be reduced in the future by developing more light and controlled manufacturing areas to encourage high-tech jobs.? This proposal is consistent with the General Plan. Other uses more consistent with business parks and light industrial types of development, as well as retail uses, are perceived to become more fitting to this area. Without these and other changes, the area along the Geneva Road corridor will continue to be a heavy industrial area for many years to come. Any business that exists prior to the change will be considered a legal nonconforming use and would be allowed to operate their business, but would not be able to expand their use in the future. Once the revised General Plan (Geneva Road Corridor Plan) is approved, certain SLU Codes could be reconsidered as options within the area. In addition to changing several of the SLU codes from permitted to not permitted, SLU code 4851 Green Waste Composting and Recycling is proposed and listed as not permitted in any zone in the city. Currently, there is one green waste facility in the city. They currently are classified under the SLU code 5193 Scrap and Recycling Materials. This SLU code clarifies green waste composting and will not be permitted in any zone in the city. In regard to SLU code 4850 Solid Waste Disposal and Incineration, there is currently only one such facility in the city. This facility would be classified as a legal nonconforming use and would be allowed to continue to operate but would not be able to expand the use to additional property. The City contracts with the North Pointe Transfer Station, located in Lindon, to handle its solid waste needs. SLU code 4850 Solid Waste Incineration and Disposal was discussed in the Planning Commission held on June 19, 2013. The Planning Commission considered the other SLU code changes on August 7, 2013. The Planning Commission unanimously recommends the City Council approve this request. Staff concurs with the Planning Commission based on the fact that this request is in accordance to the Orem General Plan, is necessary to encourage light industrial and controlled manufacturing developments and associated high-tech jobs, and it improves the aesthetic quality of the Geneva Road corridor. The proposed amendment is outlined below: SLU R5 R6 R6.5 R7.5 R8 R12 R20 OS5/ROS PO C1 C2 C3 HS M1 M2 CM BP 2110 Slaughterhouse N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N 4841 Sewage Treatment Plants N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N P N 4850 Solid Waste Incineration and Disposal N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N 4851 Green Waste Composting and Recycling N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N 5193 Scrap & Recycling Materials N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N 5395 Flea Market N N N N N N N N N N N N N N P N N 6370 General Warehousing & Storage N N N N N N N N N N N N N N P N N 6420 Wrecking Yards N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N 7223 Race Tracks N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N CONTINUED DISCUSSION 19. ORDINANCE ? Amending Section 22-14-7(B)(2) of the Orem City Code to Permit Gravel Driveways Along Carterville Road REQUEST: The applicant requests the City Council, by ordinance, amend Section 22-14-7(B)(2) of the Orem City Code to permit gravel driveways along Carterville Road. PRESENTER: Jason Bench POTENTIALLY AFFECTED AREA: Sharon and Hillcrest Neighborhoods BACKGROUND: The applicant purchased property on Carterville Road in 2011. At that time, the driveway was constructed of asphalt. After purchasing the home, the owner tore out the asphalt and replaced it with gravel. A resident called Orem City to see if what the applicant had done was acceptable or against the Orem City Code. According to Section 22-14-7, the first seventy feet of a driveway must be a paved (asphalt or concrete) surface. The applicant wishes to amend the Orem City Code to allow for other alternatives. The City Council originally considered this request on July 9, 2013, but continued the item to allow staff time to consider other options and to work with the Carterville Road neighborhood by holding a neighborhood meeting to allow neighborhood input. On August 8, 2013, staff met with several residents from the neighborhood and came to a compromise concerning gravel driveways on Carterville Road. The exception outlined below requires a twenty-five foot access to be paved from the edge of the road asphalt along Carterville Road for the full width of the driveway. The method to achieve the paved surface to keep soil, rock, and mud off the road and out of the drainage system is left to the property owner, provided the method is approved by the Development Services Director. Since Carterville Road is a rural road with limited sidewalk, curb, and gutter, and has gravel shoulders, staff determined that the option outlined below would be an acceptable option for the area. Other issues concerning Carterville Road were discussed at the neighborhood meeting including a street dedication plat, maintenance of trees that overhang the road, and other issues. Staff suggests forming a Carterville Road Neighborhood Committee to discuss and resolve these and other issues relating to Carterville Road. The City has several individuals from the neighborhood who are willing to serve on the committee. 22-14-7 Conservation of values. B. Any lot in any zone shall be improved and maintained as follows: 2. Driveways leading from a street to a parking lot, private garage, carport or other off-street parking space shall be a paved surface except that the paved surface need not extend more than seventy feet (70') from the street right-of-way line. The paved surface shall be completed within one year from the date of the occupancy of the building. Parking on grass or landscaped areas of the front yard or side yard adjacent to a street in residential zones is prohibited. Exception: A driveway accessing Carterville Road must be paved for a distance of 25 feet from the existing edge of road asphalt and the full width of the driveway must be paved. A paved surface for a driveway accessing Carterville Road shall be considered compliant with this section if it is of a type that will not generate any soil, rock or mud which may be tracked onto Carterville Road or storm water drainage system. The pavement method used must be approved by the Development Services Director prior to installation. Advantages: ? The proposed ordinance requires a twenty-five foot paved surface; ? The proposed ordinance requires soil, rock and mud to be kept from being tracked onto Carterville Road or into the storm water drainage system; and ? The proposed ordinance allows alternatives for paved surfaces on Carterville Road which is considered a rural road; Disadvantages: ? Long term maintenance of the paved surface. However, this issue is not exclusive of Carterville Road. The Planning Commission recommended the City Council deny the request to allow gravel driveways along Carterville Road. However, based on the revised ordinance and advantages outlined above staff recommends the City Council approve the proposed amendment. PERSONAL APPEARANCES ? CONTINUED (IF NECESSARY) 20.
