1. Call to Order/Pledge of Allegiance.
Chair Meyerhoffer called the meeting to order at 7:00pm. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.
2. Discussion/action on minutes.
A correction to the date in the previous meeting minutes was noted.
Motion by Vice Chair Pitcher to approve the minutes, with the noted correction. Seconded by Mr. Schofield. The motion passed unanimously.
3. Discussion/action on Subdivision, application #83, for a proposed 4 lot subdivision located at approximately 3925 W Pioneer Road.
Staff presented the proposed four (4) lot subdivision and reviewed the location and submitted plans with the commission. Staff explained that the property has a history of flooding but is not currently located within a designated FEMA floodplain. The application is subject to final approval by the Planning Commission and does not require City Council approval.
Vice Chair Pitcher asked about the proposed open space and the location and function of the retention pond. Staff explained the purpose of a retention pond and identified its location on the site plan. The Commission discussed alternative options for open space; however, due to the wet conditions of the property, the retention pond was determined to be the most appropriate option.
Commissioners discussed adequate secondary water and irrigation issues. Staff noted this is the first time the City will have shares from Richardson-Cowen Irrigation Company. Chair Meyerhoffer wants to ensure there is adequate shares for secondary water. Applicant Jed McCormick provided clarification regarding ditch maintenance. The commission continued to discuss the availability and delivery of culinary and secondary water to the property, including the operation of the irrigation system. Staff explained that a secondary water shares will be held by the City and used by the residents in the subdivision based upon the duty value for the area provided by the state engineer. The City Engineer will verify the City has adequate irrigation shares for this subdivision. The calculation of the developer's engineer must be verified.
Staff explained that geotechnical reports evaluate soil conditions, soil depths, and other factors related to site development. Staff stated that no unusual concerns had been identified in the submitted site plan materials. There will not be basements in tis subdivision.
Chair Meyerhoffer asked whether allowing development on the property could create future liability or concerns for the City if flooding or other issues occurred. Staff noted that the property has been removed from the FEMA flood map and that the applicable development requirements must still be satisfied. The City is not responsible for acts of God that cause flooding and have done everything to mitigate flooding. However, there has been a history of flooding and this property used to be designed FEMA floodplain.
Questions were raised regarding the proposed septic system. Staff explained that the septic system would be addressed through the applicable Weber-Morgan Health Department requirements. Future pressure sewer lines may eventually be extended to the area, but no such improvements are currently part of this project.
Commissioner Holley asked about the proposed sidewalk on the opposite side of the road. Staff clarified that the sidewalk would be installed consistent with the existing sidewalk on east side of the road.
Motion by Chair Meyerhoffer to approve the Subdivision Application, subject to compliance with staff and affected entity requirements, compliance with requirements of the City Engineer, development conforms to the Public Works Standards, and comply with Dark Sky Lighting, LID Storm Water Regulations, and municipal code. Seconded by Mr. Hunsaker. Motion passed with five (5) commissioners in favor and one (1) commissioner opposed. Commissioner Holley opposed the motion.
4. Commission and staff follow-up.
Commission asked for an update on the status of Slaterville Park. Staff reported that the project is nearing completion and that sod will be installed soon. The park was fenced off to allow newly planted seed to establish. Staff anticipated that the park would be substantially completed within approximately one month. Staff also requested that residents and visitors help keep motorized vehicles off the park property.
Commission discussed progress on 17th Street and related infrastructure improvements along with upcoming events.
