Randy Smith, Howland Partners, Inc. Susan Schilling, Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce Brian Cowley, Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce Johnny Loumis, Jr., Planning Commissioner Traci Crockett, Planning Commissioner and City Council Candidate WORK SESSION Mayor Timothy called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. 1. Roll Call. All members of the City Counci l were present. 2. Presentations. a. Renderings for Hotel Development Located at 14600 South Pony Express Road, Presenter, Dan Vanzeben. Dan Vanzeben, with the assistance of Diego Carroll and Chad Pollard , overviewed renderings of the proposed hotel. They made an effo rt to move the hotel to the highest point on the site. There is also an element on the site where the tower will be placed to mark the gateway into the City. One of the questions pertained to the hotel being lost in all of the other structures. They conducted conceptual  BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, September 25, 2019 studies to show the location of the hotel from various vantage points. The location of the sign was identified on a rendering displayed. In response to a question raised by the Mayor Timothy, Mr. Yanzeben explained that they will be incorporating the design of the LED airny into the design of the building to create a framework for the sign. A similar sign in another project was discussed and the location described for those wishing to see it. It was noted that the design is conceptual and not yet complete. Mayor Timothy appreciated being provided something to look at. Mr. Yanzeben indicated that they prepared a 3-D study of just the site contours, which were shown. There had been no additional grading. Chad Pollard commented on the issue of the minimum height. The City proposed a minimum of 10 levels. He explained that sometimes a height restriction is eliminated and the developers build three to five-story apa1iments. They had concern about that because there are several uncertainties. They did not object to committing to a minimum of 10 stories as long as there are provisions for market and site conditions that they do not have control of. One of their concerns was witlfthe text and the fact that there is currently a ceiling on the number of apartment units. They would like to work with staff to eliminate the ceiling but limit the number of units. City Planner/Economic Development Director, Grant Crowell stated that the ceiling was the result of feedback from the Council to ensure that the proj ect proposed is what is built and making sure there is a minimum height identified for the tower. Mr. Vanzeben remarked that since they committed to high-quality construction, as they go taller there are cost efficiencies that come into play. Boyd Preece commented that before he commits to no ceiling he would want more information on the mix and size of units. Mr. Carroll explained that they are seeking a mix of unit sizes. Mr. Crowell described the process and stated that unit sizes will not be administered during the site plan review because it wi ll be permitted and administrative. If the Council is concerned, it should be addressed in the ordinance. If not, the market will determine it. Mr. Carroll explained that because they are looking at a higher-end product, it does not make sense to do too small or too many units. There is, however, some interest in studio, small micro-units. Currently, they are committed to 13 levels but because there is still some uncertainty, they are trying to determine what the mix should be based on the market. They also do not have much site information. The upper limit will be driven by the market and by parking. They have no intent of exceeding two levels of parking. Mr. Vanzeben commented on the analysis based on the market study. With regard to the tower, because of the construction type, the cost of construction could not be borne by multiple micro-units or multiple bedroom units. It has to be a luxury tower with two or tlu-ee-bedroom units. They are in the process of analyzing the market study and studies conducted in other areas with a higher urban residential mix than Utah. Timing issues were discussed. Mr. Canoll stated that they worked with the Planning Department to incorporate lang uage addressing the project as a single project. One building would be constructed and within a maximum 12-month period construction of the other building must begin. They expect, however, to go much faster than that and have construction completed within three years. 2  BLUFFDALE CITY COUNC IL MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, September 25, 2019 b. Saddleback Point Development Future Phases, Presenter, Dana Howland. Dana Howland gave an overview of their plans go ing forward and displayed a rending showing the future phases of the Sadd le back Point Development. He reported that their site in West Jordan was set to open in November. With regard to the hobby caves, their first units are complete and sales have been bri sk. They currently have the property behind the church under contract and they have put an offer in on another parcel. Their primary business is retail. Other projects they have developed were described. Mr. Howland commented that retail is changing and they are finding that flex office is the new retail. Many of their tenants want retail up front and distribution in back. Mayor Timothy reported that a petition is being circulated by the neighborhood against the property behind the church being developed as commercial. The oppositi on may make it difficult to develop that piece of property. Mr. Howland commented that there is no access to the property from the church side. He recognized that the desire is for residential but economically it does not make sense. The Mayor' s impression was that the residents prefer high-density residential to conm1ercial. The possibility of senior housing was also mentioned. Mr. Crowell suggested the developers more specifically identify the concerns. Wendy Aston stated that those she has spoken to do not want commercial or retail but are willing to support a senior community with much higher density. Mr. Crowell stated that they may have to create something new in the Code that would allow for a senior proj ect. Entitlement issues would need to be discussed. C urrently, there is nothing in the Code that provides an existing option for senior housing although the SD zone could probably be manipulated to potentially allow for it. Mayor Timothy suggested that the applicants organize a meeting w ith the neighborhood and have discussions about the plans and the residents' expectations. Mr. Howland was happy to do that and agreed that it would be a good idea. Jt was clarified that the only piece that is not commercial is the parcel behind the church. Mr. Crowell stated that either scenario would require General Plan and zoning modifications. Wendy Aston was willing to change the density behind the church but not to commercial without the support of the residents. Timing issues were discussed. c. Discussion Relating to Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce, Presenter, Susan Schilling. Susan Schilling from the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce reported that they have been in existence for 22 years. The organization began as the South Jordan Business A lliance and encompassed Riverton, Bluffdale, and Herriman. Today, even though Riverton has moved on, they have about 70 members from Riverton. Each has been contacted and assured that the Chamber wi ll continue to serve them as they have in the past. Ms. Schilling explained that Chambers are often associated with ribbon cuttings although each has a different way of doing business. In the case of the Southwest Valley Chamber, they try to blend the community and businesses. Ms . Schilling described their Member to Member Di scount Program. Each city also has a seat on its Board of Directors. Senior City Pl anner, .Jennifer Robison represents Bluffdale City in that capacity and attends Board Meetings. One of their foc uses is education so every month they hold a Lunch 3  BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, September 25, 2019 Meeting focused on education. T hey also do a Multi-Chamber Lunch to provide a larger footprint for businesses. They are involved with Chamber West, West Jordan, South Jordan, Murray, and the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce. In October, they will hold a luncheon with South Jordan and Draper where they choose a topic and prov ide education on it. Ms. Schilling reported that their Women in Business group meets monthly. They are involved in the community as well. They do an annual Teacher Appreciation Lunch where one teacher from each of the 25 schools is honored. Knight of Heroes is important and honors police and fire personnel as well as local businesses. Scholarships/fellowships are also offered. This year they awarded six scholarships of $1 ,500 each toward continuing education. They work with other organizations as well and accommodate the ability of businesses to ship internationally. The desire was to keep the Chamber small and local. Ms. Schilling described other work the Chamber does. She serves on the South Valley Community Domestic Vio lence Coalition where Victim Advocates from the Police Depa11ments are in attendance. The committee seeks to educate the community and businesses on domestic violence. She also serves on the Riverton Hospital Advisory Committee. The hospital has provided them with NarcX to di spose of unused pharmaceuticals. The possibility of having a disposable site in Bluffdale was discussed. Future programs were described such as a Junior Chamber, a Job Fair, and an after-hours event. 3. Council Discussion. There was no Council di scussion. 4. Closed Meeting Pursuant to Utah Code §52-·4-205(1) to Discuss the Character, Professional Competence, or Health of an Individual, Collective Bargaining, Pending or Imminent Litigation, Strategies to Discuss Real Property Acquisition, Including any Form of a Water Right or Water Share, Security Issues, or any Alleged Criminal Misconduct.

Presentation of the Bluffdale City Fire Department Semi-Annual Statistical Report, Staff Presenter, Fire Chief John Roberts. Fire Chief, John Robe11s presented the Semi-Annual Statistical Report and stated that over the past three weeks they have averaged seven calls per day. Various cal ls were described. He reported that two ALS ambu lances provide advanced life suppo11 for 12 leads. Chief Roberts repo11ed that Life Flight has responded in the City four times in the last six months. They were in Draper 33 times and in Riverton 31 times. They spend a lot of time in Draper, Riverton, and Heniman because they have two ALS ambulances. Response time and call data were presented. Significant calls were discussed. A total of 453 calls were received from February 1 tlu·ough September 1, 2019. 5. Presentation of the Police Semi-Annual Statistical Report, Police Chief Andrew Burton. 6  BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, September 25, 2019 Police Chief, Andrew Bmion presented the Semi-Annual Statistical Report covering the time period from January 1 tlu·ough July 3 1, 20 19. Department trainings were described, which focused on officer safety and skills. He reported that the New Police Department Headquaiiers in Saratoga Springs will soon be moving to a much larger facility. Chief Burton pointed out that the response times to calls in the Independence area are much quicker since the New Fire Station has opened. Chief Bmion reported on conummity involvement effmis and stated that in association with Old West Days and National Night Out, there is the nine-week Citizens' Academy with several Bluffdale residents enrolled. Photos were di splayed of the Police Department Co lor Guard at the Bluffdale Parade, Officer Goode teaching a DARE class, and the SWAT training. Proj ections for 20 19 were presented based on what has been seen to date. A 19% increase was anticipated in calls for service and a 6% increase in incidents requiring a repmi. If they were to project a 10% increase over the next five years, they would see the number of call s for service in a five-year period increase to nearly 17,000 and to 25 ,000 in 10 years. Chief Bu1ion had found that I ,000 calls per officer to be manageable. In 20 19, with no increase in the number of officers, call s for service would be close to 1,000. Anticipated increases in officers were discussed. Statistical data was presented. In 201 9, there was a 60% increase in citations but a decrease in the number of accidents. Chief Burton's opinion was that if they are writing enough citations, the number of accidents will stay down. A 15% decrease in accidents was projected with an increase in citations. Response times on Priority I calls were just over seven minutes with their goal being seven minutes. Chief Bmion presented data on calls for service based on the time of day and day of the week. The mid-afternoon period is their high time as are Friday and Saturday nights. Their busiest day is Wednesday with Sunday being the slowest. It was noted that the majority of an officer's time is obligated in handling calls and administrative duties. He noted that every call varies in time and some types of calls take longer than others. Unobligated time includes traffic enforcement. When this is low, officers have less time to do traffic enforcement. Mayor Timothy conrn1ented that unobligated time is how he measures the need for additional officers. Chief Bu1ion stated that there are other factors to be considered such as officer safety. Some calls require two or more officers and others require a supervisor be on scene. There is stiff competition for quality officers and they are not quickly produced or trained. Mayor Timothy asked about dash cameras and how long it takes for then to be installed. Chief Burton confirmed that they have been ordered but was unsure how long the process will take. The importance of the dash cams was addressed. Mayor Timothy suggested that when a car is purchased that it includes a camera. Chi ef Burton commented that the dash and body camera systems have been invaluable in the collection of evidence and the protection of officers. Chief Burton stated that officer safety is of utmost importance. His second priority is taking care of officers in terms of pay, equipment, and moral suppo1i. Mayor Timothy appreciated the efforts of the Police Department. Chief Burton repmied that Officer Hill is being deployed for eigh t months by the Air Force Reserve staiiing October 1. A new offi cer 7  BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, September 25, 2019 will be hired to replace him until he returns. There are four officers in the military reserve, tlu-ee of whom have been deployed. Appreciation was expressed to Chief Burton and the Police Department. 6. PUBLIC HEARING - Consideration and Vote on a General Plan Land Use Map Amendment Application (2019-30) for Approximately 6.16 Acres, located at 1811 West and 1785 West 13800 South from Low-Density Residential to Commercial and 1777 West and 1765 West 13800 South and 13810 South, 13828 South, 13844 South, 13850 South, and 13880 South Redwood Road from Neighborhood Commercial to Commercial, City of Bluffdale Applicant, Staff Presenter, Caitlyn Miller. 7. PUBLIC HEARING - Consideration and Vote on a Zoning Map Amendment Application (2019-31) for Approximately 6.16 Acres, located at 1811 West, 1785 West, 1777 West, and 1765 West 13800 South and 13810 South, 13828 South, 13844 South, 13850 South, and 13880 South Redwood Road from Residential (R-1-J 0) to Destination Retail (DR), City of Bluffdale, Applicant, Staff Presenter, Caitlyn Miller. The above two items were discussed together. Senior City Plaimer, Caitlyn Miller presented the staff reports and stated that there are nine prope11ies under review, all of which are owned by the Utah Department of Transportation ("UDOT"). Thi s is one of the City's major economic development nodes and the City is looking to have designations from the General Plan Land Use Map and the Official Zoning Map changed to facilitate conunercial development on the properties. The existing General Plan Map shows seven of the nine parcels as Neighborhood Commercial. The remaining two are Low-Density Residential. The application proposes changes to the designations to Commercial. All nine are currently zoned R-1-10 Residential with a 10,000 square-foot minimum lot size. The City is proposing that be changed to Destination Retail , which is a new retail-specific zone created during the revision of the City ' s land use tables. A conceptual layout of 1780 West was displayed. It was added to the City's adopted Transportation Plan and continues north from the Maverik site and curves parallel to Bange11er Highway to connect with 13800 South. A list of the land uses permitted in the Heavy Commercial , General Conm1ercial, and Destination Retail zones was provided. Mayor Timothy opened the public hearing. Delynn Summers gave his address as 14002 South Redwood Road and reported that a wall separates his property from the Maverik. He supports the City ' s actions and would like to see the gateway cleaned up and a new face brought to the City. He was frustrated by rumors that the City paid for the wall bordering their prope11y. He clarified that he requested that the City recede property to widen the road to acconm1odate the Maverik with a traffic light and a left-hand turn lane in exchange for a wall to protect his property. Mr. Sununers pointed out that one week before the wall was installed, a car crashed into his home causing extensive damage. Some have suggested that the road next to Maverik that extends west to and a long the Bangerter wall is the most dangerous in Bluffdale. Mr. Summers reported that there have been three accidents on hi s property beginning at Redwood 8  BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, September 25, 2019 Road and one death. As his property has been impacted, Mr. Summers agreed that the road needs attention. He hoped to get clarification on the wall and the road. Mayor Timothy explained that it seemed to the C ity that a road was needed behind the conm1ercial propetiies that would connect back to 13800 South so that any commercial traffic was not zig-zagging tlu·ough the neighborhood that could potentially go back out to 2200 West or vice versa. The City approached UDOT and expressed their desire to obtain the right-of-way for the road. UDOT is required to do dollar-for-dollar exchanges and cannot give the City the right-of-way. That being the case, the determination was made that if the property is zoned commercial, the prope1iy value will increase. By zoning the prope1iy commercial, UDOT agreed to make the exchange. If that were to occur, that speci fie right-of-way would be dedicated to the City, which is where the road would go. The intent was to complete the exchange before UDOT sells the property, which could eliminate the available options. The Mayor repotied that the wall was installed to improve the safety of the corner. Mr. Summers asked if the wall will continue around. In the policy, it is not clear who will pay for the wall. Boyd Preece clarified that typically when a City road is designed, walls and fences are not installed but may be considered if there are extenuating circumstances. C ity Manager, Mark Reid explained that when the road was constructed a retaining wall was required. In that case, a wall was installed along the entire length as well as a retaining wall. Mon-is Clark gave his address as 13897 South 1835 West and stated that his property abuts the proposed propetiy being considered for the zone change to General Commercial. He served on the Bluffdale City Council from 2002 to 2006 and for the first two years, he served as the Liai son to the Planning Commission. At that time, they completely rewrote the Bluffdale C ity Master Plan, which was a huge undertaking. Mr. Clark stated that the property was to be rezoned Neighborhood Commercial to provide a buffer between the commercial property across the street to the east and the residential property to the west. This was determined to be the best way to plan to protect the citizens. This has already been violated with the Maverik on the corner of 14000 South and Redwood Road and the commercial on 2700 West and Bangerter. He considered it to be bad planning to place commercial next to residential. Mr. Clark stated that it is necessary to have a buffer and transition zone and stated that the intersection cannot handle the traffic. The congestion will continue to push traffic into the neighborhood and exacerbate the traffic situation down 2200 West and 1950 West. Mr. Clark stated that once the zoning is changed, commercial development will be allowed. The impact can be mitigated but not prevented. He asked what the compeJling reason was for the change since the current zoning was done intentionally. There are ample areas in the City where commercial development can occur. The proposed rezone wi ll greatly impact property values and the decision will determine the fate of the neighborhood. He asked that the City Council reconsider what is proposed before making a change. He thanked the City Co uncil for their efforts. There were no fu1iher public comments. Mayor Timothy closed the public hearing. Mayor Timothy commented that if the City wants the road , now would be the time to take action. If not, there is no reason for the rezone. He believed the road was important in order for traffic to go 9  BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, September 25, 2019 around. Ty Nielsen clarified that 13800 South went tlu·ough before Bangerter. The Mayor recalled that the road was plallned because the residents at the time were concerned that the Maverik would create a lot of traffic. That turned out to not be the case. For the future development of the property that faces Redwood Road, the road behind and connecting around the side would help divert traffic around the neighborhood. Boyd Preece considered the greater issue to be the use. He questioned whether the desire was to preserve the commercial for the future and if so what the designation should be. He agreed that there is a lot of available acreage in the City but this is a prime node for economic development. Currently, the areas that are prime for development are Redwood Road, Bangerter Highway , and 2700 West. He supported locating commercial development in areas that will be the most successful and designating them in a maimer that is appropriate. He tended to suppo11 commercial that encourages retail-type uses. Counci l Member Preece noted that Neighborhood Commercial has not attracted any development. The hours of operation tend to prevent people from moving in and developing commercial property. The road will get people to the conm1ercial but he questioned whether that would be the case if the residents do not support it. Ty Nielsen recalled that this action fulfills a promise made to citizens when the Maverik relocated. He agreed that it is in the best interest of the City. Wendy Aston' s understanding was that the road was very important to the citizens when the Maverik moved. She assumed this was what the majority of the residents wanted. Travis Higby commented that the road and rezone are imp011ant for the future of the City. The City is beholden on a great deal of funding from one-time monies, which wi ll go away. He pointed out that there are few places in the City where there is recurring revenue. He supported the rezone as proposed. Ty Nielsen moved to approve the General Plan Land Use Map Amendment Application Number 2019-30 for approximately 6.16 acres, located at 1800 West and 1785 West 13800 South from Low-Density Residential to Commercial and 1777 West and 1765 West 13800 South and 13810 South, 13828 South, 13844 South, 13850 South, and 13880 South Redwood Road from Neighborhood Commercial to Commercial.

PUBLIC HEARING - Consideration and Vote on a Text Amendment Application (2019-32) for The Preserve at Spring View Farms Infill Overlay (10) Zone to Eliminate a Trail and Clarify the Location of a Sidewalk, Ken Olson, Applicant, Staff Presenter, Caitlyn Miller. M s. Miller presented the staff report and identified the subject properties on a map displayed. She pointed out that the original concept plan for The Preserve at Spring View Farms consisted of 18 single-family lots. It was developed when the City ' s Transportation Plan included a connection to 14600 South. It has s ince been changed and the new version has been adopted. A c01mection is now anticipated from 14600 South to Redwood Road, Camp Williams Road, and the cul-de-sac that ends in The Preserve development. The applicant requested that the trail that was included as paii of the IO zone be removed since it will not connect to anything in the future. He also had concerns with the topography of the site. A handful of property owners who are not affiliated with the developer and the trail will have to cross the properties to make the c01mection to 14600 South. In addition to removing the trail requirements, the applicant requested that the sidewalk that cmTently terminates at the northern point of the first cul-de-sac be allowed to remain rather than continue along the edges of both cul-de-sacs. Since the developer requested that the trail no longer be included in his plan, he has asked that the sidewalk also be removed. The Mayor' s opinion was that 14600 South going straight has nothing to do with the trail connection. Mr. Reid stated that at the time they thought that a pathway that would avoid the intersection would be a great idea. If it goes through, the intent would be to make that less of a challenge. For the sake of the property owners along the lane, he personally would not want to have people being able to walk down a trail nex t to his home. Wendy Aston asked if they are required to have open space or trails in this particular development. Mayor Timothy stated that the trail was not a requirement. Boyd Preece commented that 1690 West is very busy and dangerous. By diverting traffic to a different road, it becomes a more viable option for people to use. Mayor Timothy explained that currently there is a sidewalk on both sides but the one side is only because there was going to be a trail. If the trail is eliminated there is no reason for the sidewalk. Ms. Miller reported that there is a full sidewalk along the notih side of the street and a small extension that was intended to connect to the trail. Mayor Timothy opened the public hearing. Dan Dinning gave his address as 1618 West Preserve Court and identified himself as a friend of Ken Olsen and the first resident of The Preserve. He loves Bluffdale and was happy to be close to the Jordan River Trail. Originally, Mr. Olsen intended to sell the existing home and parcel. Mr. Dinning commented on the trail running between Lots 17 and 16 and stated that it would be too steep to ride a bike up. Traveling so uth, the area next to the parcel with the existing home has been dug out so there is no place to construct a trail. Mr. Olsen's intent was to construct a road but there were issues. He preferred to work with Mr. McCandless on an alternative access. Lots 16, 17, and 18 will be small so it does not make sense to construct a s idewalk. On Preserve Comi, Mr. Di1ming has observed that people walk in the street rather than on the sidewalk. He had spoken to his neighbors and none want a trail or sidewalk. 11  BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, September 25, 2019 Shem Wayman gave his address as I 4457 South 1625 West. He owns the access going south, which is a private lane and his driveway. He would not be amenabl e to a trail going through in that location. In addition, there are farm animals on both sides of the lane. There were no further publi.c comments. The public hearing was closed. Boyd Preece moved to approve Text Amendment Application Number 2019-32 for The Preserve at Spring View Farms Infill Overlay (IO) Zone to eliminate a trail and clarify the location of a sidewalk. The sidewalk will remain as-is and the requirement for the trail removed. Wendy Aston seconded the motion. Vote on motion: Wendy Aston-Aye, Ty Nielsen-Aye, Boyd Preece- Aye, Travis Higby-Aye. The motion passed unanimously. 9. PUBLIC HEARING - Consideration and Vote on a Zoning Map Amendment Application (2019-32) for Approximately 0.38 Acres Located at 14401 South 1690 West from R-1-10 Infill Overlay to R-1-10 (Infill Overlay - Preserve at Spring View Farms), Dennis Nichols, Applicant, Staff Presenter, Caitlyn Miller. Ms. Miller presented the staff report and identified the subject property on a map di splayed. The lot is unconventionally shaped and without extreme grading, the Nichols Family was requesting a plat amendment to incorporate the rear .38 acres into The Preserve at Spring View Farms. To facilitate the plat amendment, they need to achieve the same zoning designation as the other properties in The Preserve. Ms. Miller repo1ied that in addition to the subject prope1iy, the Nichols own two parcels to the north that are zoned R-1-43. The remaining property owned by the N ichols is zoned R-1-10 IO. Staff attempted to research the lot standards created during the JO zoning process but were unable to find a record of them. The Nichols Family would like to incorporate this po1iion of their propeliy into The Preserve IO. The remaining portion will remain as-is. The Mayor clarified that the intent was to include the property into The Preserve project. Mayor Timothy opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. The public hearing was closed. Travis Higby moved to approve the Zoning Map Amendment Application Number 2019-32 for approximately 0.38 acres located at 14401 South 1690 West from R-1-10 Infill Overlay to R-1- 10 (Infill Overlay - Preserve at Spring View Farms). Boyd Preece seconded the motion. Vote on motion: Wendy Aston-Aye, Ty Nielsen-Aye, Boyd Preece-Aye, Travis Higby-Aye. The motion passed unanimously. 10. Consideration and Vote on a Resolution Authorizing the Execution of an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement between the Board of Education of the Jordan School District and the City of Bluffdale Pertaining to Impact Fees and Use of School Facilities, Staff Presenter, Vaughan Pickell. City Attorney , Vaughn Pickell reported that the agreement was drafted by the Jordan School District's Attorney and addresses impact fees and the use of school facilities. The Jordan School District contributed land and fund s toward the completion of Harmon Day Drive, which is justification for the 12  BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, September 25, 2019 waiver of impact fees. There are also utilities, storm drain, and water in Harmon Day Drive that they contributed toward developing. The district is willing to all ow the City to use the new auditorium being constructed in Hidden Valley Midd le School and the fie lds associated with both school s. He stated that they will be valuable additions to the City 's open space and parks system. In addition, the City will be allowed to use part of the middle school property for a Dog Park. The property was to be developed by the City. A provision in the agreement specifies that the district may wish to take the land back in the future. If that occurs, they agreed to compensate the C ity for costs. Staff was successful in negotiating a higher percentage and more years. In response to a question raised, Mr. Reid stated that the district wi ll get priority of the auditorium and field use. Mr. Pickell clarified that as part of the agreement, the City would commit to develop the Dog Park. Travis Higby questioned whether the City needs another park to maintain. Mr. Reid explained that the residents were promi sed a Dog Park and staff was following the direction of the Council to ensure that this property was set aside. Mayor Timothy stated that a Dog Park has been highly requested but there had been issues with where to locate it. A sign was placed on the property early on indicating the intent to develop it as a Dog Park before any of the residents moved in. Senior City Planner, Jennifer Robison explained that they pursued the Dog Park because there is limited space on the opposite side. They want to utilize this area, which seems to be unused and an area the district does not want to maintain. It appeared to be a win-win proposition. It is part of the City's park system but is not next to park amenities and schools. It would be a destination on the south side near the trail. The prope1iy is unique and something staff feels they can build around. Another benefit was to be the ability to use property the City did not have to purchase. The park will include grassy areas for small and large dogs. There w ill be some investment on the part of the City so if the district takes the property back they will have to repay some of that investment. The infrastructure will include fencing, gr&ss, pavilions, irrigation, and potentially a trail. T he remainder of the park prope1iy could be used for other park amenities. Ty Nielsen moved to approve a resolution authorizing the execution of an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement between the Board of Education of the Jordan School District and the City of Bluffdale pertaining to impact fees and use of school facilities, as presented. Boyd Preece seconded the motion. Vote on motion: Wendy Aston-Aye, Ty Nielsen-Aye, Boyd Preece-Aye, Travis Higby-Aye. The motion passed unanimously. 11. PUBLIC HEARING - Consideration and Vote on a Proposed Land Use Ordinance Text Amendment (2018-26) to Title 12: Subdivision Regulations, and Related Administrative Updates, City of Bluffdale, Applicant, Staff Presenter, Caitlyn Miller. Ms. Miller repo1ted that staff has spent a significant amount of time reviewing the City ordinances and updating them to ensure that they are compli ant with state statutes and that their existing practices have been codified. Staff opted to do a repeal and replace amendment. Many of the specific engineering standards and specificati ons were removed from the ordinance language and referred directly to the Standards and Specifications Manual. The proposed changes were reviewed and discussed. As part of the streamlining process, staff removed a requirement for applicants to come in 13  BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, September 25, 2019 for a concept plan review. It is a strong recommendation and gives applicants an opportunity to meet with staff before submitting an application. Staff, in turn, will he lp identify glaring problems. Condominium plats was an exampl e of where they are codifying existing practice. They did not have a set process and had begun to utilize the plat amendment process. They also created a minor subdivision process that could be approved administrati vely at the staff level. This would include subdi visions of 10 lots or less or subdivisions that have been previously approved as part of the Master Development Plan that has already received site plan approval. Mayor Timothy commented that there had been discussion of having the Planning Commission be more involved with approvals. Ms. Miller described the Concept Review process and stated that once the Design Review Committee ("DRC") makes a recommendation to the Planning Commission, they make a recommendation to the C ity Council who holds a public hearing and makes the final decision. The amendment would require a recommended concept plan review with the application reviewed by the DRC. Once a minor subdivision has been reviewed by the DRC it can be passed on to the Zoning Administrator for approval at the staff level. A "punting clause" is written into the ordinance where if a subdivision is abnormal, the Zoning Administrator could direct it to be sent to the Planning Commission to follow the standard process. City Plaimer/Economic Development Director, Grant Crowell stated that that is a significant change and an option the Council can consider. Mayor Timothy questioned why subdivisions of 10 lots or fewer are not sent to the Pl aiming Commission for approval. Mr. Crowell stated that that can be done. Staff was trying to strike a balance. Mr. Reid repo1ted that a previous Planning Commission Chair was very antagonistic toward development and many things that should have been approved were not. Mr. Crowell explained that they have done more specific training on State law governing plaiming commissions for the last several years and have emphasized legislative and administrative issues. In the event a land use authority does not approve an administrative request that meets Code, it would have to be appealed. If that were the case, the Council may want to rethink their appointments. Mayor Timothy commented that they have a very good Planning Commission and they have personally told him that they appreciate working with staff in the Planning Depa1tment. Mayor Timothy opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. The public hearing was closed. Ty Nielsen moved to approve the proposed Land Use Ordinance Text Amendment Number 2018-26 to Title 12: Subdivision Regulations, and Related Administrative Updates, with appeals to be heard by the Appeals and Variance Hearings Officer. Travis Higby seconded the motion. Vote on motion: Wendy Aston-Aye, Ty Nielsen-Aye, Boyd Preece-Aye, Travis Higby-Aye. The motion passed unanimously. 12. Consideration and Vote on Proposed Amendments to the City Engineering Standards and Specifications Regarding a Slope Stability Manual, City of Bluffdale, Applicant, Staff Presenter, Daniel Tracer. 14  BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, September 25, 2019 Assistant City Engineer, Dan Tracer repo11ed that at the last meeting he presented the manual and described it in detail. He recommended it be adopted. Boyd Preece suggested that the initial geotechnical study be limited to il lustrations and sketches rather than requiring survey data. Mr. Tracer recommended a change to the Infiltration Table that lists infiltration rates. The intent is to apply a safety factor to values of 2.5. The original values are from a research publication but the safety factor is for clogging, use of overtime, extra compaction, and unknowns. Boyd Preece moved to approve the proposed amendments to the City Engineering Standards and Specifications regarding a Geotechnical and Slope Stability Manual with the addition of a safety standard of 2.5 to be applied to the Table of Values in the infiltration rate. Ty Nielsen seconded the motion. Vote on motion: Wendy Aston-Aye, Ty Nielsen-Aye, Boyd Preece-Aye, Travis Higby-Aye. The motion passed unanimously. 13. Mayor's Report. Mayor Timothy repo11ed on the following: • Since the last City Council Meeting, a presentation was made at the Jordan Education Foundation Economic Summit. A video was made by Kevin Thompson from the Engineering Department that was very well done. • Grant Crowell was recognized for preparing the 3-D renderings of the hotel and tower. • The Mayor and Mark Reid met with Logan Simpson, who was hired for the study of the Southwest portion of the County. • The 10111 Annual Mayor's Thank You Dinner was held recently and was well attended.

C ity Manager, Mark Reid reported on the following: • An Employee Recognition A ward was presented to Terri Bawden as the Metro Fire Board Assistant. In 2017 through 2019 while Mr. Reid was acting as Chairman of the Metro Fire Board, Ms. Bawden served as the Assistant and took on additional responsibilities with her typical enthusiasm. Ms. Bawden attended all of the meetings, set up the room , took the minutes and attendance, and made sure all of the detail s were handled . She prepared the minutes following the meeting and di stributed them to those in attendance. She also reached out to the cities and chi efs to prepare the next agenda. Mr. Reid stated that Ms. Bawden adds a high level of professionalism to eve1ything she does, which is appreciated by all. 15  BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, September 25, 2019 • The following Monday was the grant presentation for the study and arena grants. Mrs. Robison was directed to make a presentation on the study and give it a higher priority than the arena. The original arena grant application showed a $1 million match to a $1.7 million request for a total of $2. 7 million. Staff did not feel the City could commit $1 million to the project. To commit $300,000 and get $1 million would provide a replacement for the bleachers, cement, and asphalt to come into ADA compliance. • It was repo1ied that Council Member Candidate Jon Hansen withdrew his candidacy earlier in the day as he will be moving to Kaysville. Mr. Hansen' s name will remain on the ballot but any votes for him will not count.

They wished to discuss the importance of high-density housing in their project. In their presentation, they included the UDOT ponds as if they owned them, which they do not. Mr. Reid stated that they are determined to request apartments in three different areas within the development. • The City is under contract with Mr. Crump on the doorknob prope1iy. • Mr. Crowell presented a drawing commissioned by the City of Draper for a portion of the prison site. Blue Line Design had also been doing graphic work for the Clyde Company. For a cost of $12,500, they could commission three sketches of the gravel pit area with the intent being of getting a snapshot of a portion of land to be utilized by the City. Economic Development Incentive money was available to pay the cost. Boyd Preece expressed his suppo1i and hoped to get it going sooner rather than later. An outline of priorities was to be presented at the next Economic Deve lopment Meeting. • Mr. Crowell presented an Employee Recognition Award to Kris Stam and Pam von Petersdorff. He recently received a copy of an email from one of the major home builders in the community thanking staff for their efficiency and professionalism. Mses. Stam and von Petersdorff consistently provide excellent customer service. They coordinate inspections with different inspectors and two consulting companies and communicate with various other departments. • Po1ier Rockwell Segment 4 was moving along.
