Item#2 Maps for the General Plan-Brandon presented the 5 maps of the general plan to the council. Brandon explained the projected land use map-as developers come in to develop we will make sure to follow the maps the best as they can, it could change over time. Councilmember Pace likes the difference in the map and you can build around that. Brandon stated that the committee done a great job on the transportation map. Councilmember Lay stated that the Newman annexation is not correct it needs to be fixed on the transportation map. Councilmember Pace stated it's right on the other 2 maps just not the transportation. Brandon stated he will fix it. Brandon stated it's a good idea to have your trails and roads on the same map, if it's on the transportation map UDOT will build it if it's on your map it's a benefit to the town. Councilmember Hardy stated the maps look good to me. Councilmember Hardy stated on the land use map, it shows my property in 2 different uses, can we make the property all the same uses, don't split it into 2 different uses. Brandon stated he would make all the changes to the maps.
