Description/Agenda

Elwood Town Council Meeting July 18, 2022 The Elwood Town Council met at the Elwood Town Hall, 5235 West 8800 North, Elwood, Utah, at 5:00, July 18 2022. The following members were present consisting of a quorum. Keenan Nelson Mayor Scott Goodliffe Councilmember Mark Lay Councilmember Lynn Hardy Councilmember Mike Pace Councilmember Staff present at this meeting Gina Marble Town Clerk Steve Woerner Public Works Others present at this meeting Coby Garrison Quinn Hamson Carl and Lorna Petersen Amy Hugie WELCOME ADMINISTRATION Councilmember Goodliffe gave the prayer Pledge of allegiances Mayor Nelson welcomed everyone to the meeting. Item#1 Discuss the proposed love facilities rezone from commercial to industrial- Mayor Nelson reported that there has been a lot of discussion between Love's and the town. Mayor Nelson stated that we need to follow the master plan that would require you to build a road and the Petersen's don't want to sale more property. Coby stated that Loves is willing to give the town $400,000 to the town to help pay for the road. Councilmember Goodliffe stated that it's a nice offer but it's just not enough, The Mavrick bridge was $800,000 dollars and the one we just did is going to be around $800,000. You will need to put in a bridge and build the road. The project will have to have engineered plans, get permits and the work will need to be done between Dec-April. The bridge structure will have to be heavier also and 1500 feet of paved surfaces. The whole project could be around 1.2 to 1.8 million. Councilmember Pace stated that Love's is a great company, but the location is not the best. $400,000 is not enough and we have other safety concerns. Councilmember Hardy stated that there is a big safety issue, the road has been planned for a long time. The land is zoned commercial right now, I don't think we should change it to industrial. Councilmember Lay stated he values individual rights, but I have seen the work that has gone in to it. I have seen some frustration from the citizens. The road is on the master plan, we need to stay on the course and $400,000 doesn't do that. Mayor Nelson stated he is for property rights and hates telling people what they can do also. Councilmember Goodliffe stated he feels like it's not a good idea right now. Councilmember Hardy asked if the Planning Commission voted on it. Quinn Hamson stated they did vote on it and we didn't recommend it to the town. Amy Hugie suggested that you don't make the decision based on the traffic that is not an issue. There are more things that could come in with high traffic. I recommend taking action on the rezone. Councilmember Hardy made a motion that we support the planning commission and their decision. Councilmember Pace seconded the motion. The voting was unanimous in favor of the motion. Item#2 Discuss the proposed Love's facilities- Councilmember Goodliffe stated that the facility would be good for the community. It would be minimal impact to the city, and the only thing we would receive is property tax no sales tax. We will have to deal with the traffic now or in the future. Councilmember Lay stated that it appears it comes down to a decision from Ambrose. I think the facilities are fantastic but there are demands of the citizens. I wish you could come to the table with a little more. The traffic is going to be bare minimal, I just wish there was a common ground that could be found. Coby stated that Love's does some contributions all over the world and with the surround landowners. The road is build at no cost to the town. You will not find another low traffic as Love's. Mayor Nelson stated that we voted to not approve the request for the rezone. If you want to put up the building without the tire retreading you can do that. Coby stated he didn't know if Love's would want to do that without the retread. Councilmember Lay made a motion to adjourn, Councilmember Pace seconded the motion and the remaining council agreed. The meeting was adjourned at 5:33 p.m. The undersigned duly acting and appointed clerk for Elwood Town Corporation hereby certifies that the foregoing is a true and correct copy of the Town Council meeting minutes held on the 18th day of July 2022. Dated this the 9th day of Aug 2022. ________________________________ Gina R Marble, Elwood Town Clerk
