Garth stated he was been working on this project for awhile. Cottonwood Meadows will have mixed uses, commercial, residential including town homes and patio homes. We are not proposing any apartments in this project, we don't do apartments. Councilmember Hardy asked about parking, Garth stated it will have room for parking some units will even have 3 car garages. Mayor Nelson stated he was concerned about the mixed uses. Garth explained its flex space like a strip mail; we could have business on the bottom and residential above. Mayor Nelson asked if they were going to do this project all at once. Garth said no it will be done over a 10 to 15 year project. Mayor Hardy stated the property that you are going to donate for a new town hall, he thinks it would be better in a different spot. Garth stated we could work together on that, the pieces of the concept can be moved around. Garth Stated regarding the rezone, Elwood doesn't have the infrastructure for this development, we want to help with that. Mayor Nelson feels the rezone should be done. Garth stated this development will have 350 units of residential some lost 10,000 for single patio homes, and some lots are smaller. We will work with UDOT to help with the intersection on 9600 north, we know that's a big problem. Garth asked to rezone and do the rezone and work on the agreement and move forward with a concept plan. We need to work a lot with the town and planning commission to get it right. Mayor Nelson stated he was in favor of the rezone. Councilmember Goodliffe stated he thinks the MPC is a good tool, the MPC zone is the development agreement that's the first step, this is in the ordinance it's our law and we need to follow it. We should be looking at the agreement first. Garth agreed we need to do it by ordinance. We need to do the rezone first then move into the agreement and concept plan. Garth stated this development does meet the general plan when we applied. Councilmember Goodliffe stated there is an agreement attached but its blank. Garth stated he had asked the planning commission and we couldn't get any answers I got zero direction from them. Councilmember Goodliffe stated the scope is the same, it's the same footprint that was presented on May, and it's the same. The rezone application has only one parcel number on it, its for 30 acres. That's all the application is asking for, and one parcel belongs to Rupp trucking. I talked to Blain Rupp yesterday and no one has talked to him about this project. Garth stated he talked to Blain Rupp a few times and he wants to be part of the project. His property will have commercial on it. Councilmember Goodliffe stated the green space requires more space. Mayor Nelson called Blain Rupp and Blain stated Garth has not talked to him about the project but said he would be okay with the MPC, he told Garth to call him. Councilmember Hardy stated he was okay with the plan but don't have an agreement. Garth stated he would fix the application and come back to the council. Mayor Nelson and Councilmember Hardy thinks it's a great plan. Councilmember Pace thanked Garth for everything. Councilmember Goodliffe stated there are a few thinks I don't like. I don't like residents above the business and who is going to take care of the open space and I worry about people safety right there. Garth stated there is a bigger buffer there I don't think that's an issue.
