Staff): 67 68 Public Works Director Nelson 69 • 700 South Sidewalk hasn't been worked on much since the last meeting. Both contractors have 70 been very busy and are likely off on other jobs. He and Engineer Rasmussen are scheduled to 71 meet with them tomorrow morning to find out why its not being worked on. There are 72 currently a number of driveways that have been cut and are not usable. 73 • He has spent a number of hours on reports which are due to the state. 74 • They will be preparing equipment for winter. 75 • It's been two years since they ordered a new truck. Since it takes several months, he will get a 76 new one ordered soon. 77 • He would like to meet with Mayor Rasmussen and Councilmember Thatcher to discuss the 78 float and Apple Days. 79 80 Finance Director Grover 81 • He discussed the $250,000 expenditure, which was pulled from Cache Valley Bank and will be 82 deposited into the PTIF shortly. He pointed out that 25% ofthe year has passed and the budget 83 numbers are tracking pretty close. The water fiind is tracking ahead, but will probably level off 84 since summer water usage is pretty much over. 85 • Councilmember Thatcher stated she just received an Apple Days Expenditure report from 86 Treasurer Wilker. She'd like to review it before she hands it out to the council. From what she 87 can see, they came in about $1,200 under budget. She would like to spend this on Apple Days 88 signs which need replaced. 89 90 Treasurer Wilker 91 • She presented and answered questions regarding the list of bills to be paid. 92 • PWD Nelson asked to see the Logan City bill when it comes. River Heights City Council Meeting, 10/9/18 • Mayor Rasmussen asked if Caselle would be coming to a close. FD Grover said they will check with other cities who might use Quickbooks. It's very difficult for them to generate 95 certain reports in Caselle. 96 97 Councilmember Scott moved to "pay the bills as listed." Councilmember Wright 98 seconded the motion, which passed with Scott, Thatcher, Wilson and Wright in favor. Clausen 99 was absent. No one opposed. 100 101 Councilmember Thatcher 102 • She plans to work with Treasurer Wilker to understand the Apple Days budget. 103 • She has contracted with Santa for the Tree Lighting Event. Treasurer Wilker will have a check 104 ready for them that evening. 105 • She discussed the fatal accident in the last two weeks at 700 South and 100 East. She agrees 106 with others that there needs to be some action by River Heights City to work with Logan City 107 to get some traffic control at this intersection. Many people avoid it because it is too scary. 108 PWD Nelson said speed seems to be the biggest issue. Ms. Thatcher said its getting worse and 109 would like to see the Council agree on an action to pressure Logan. Councilmember Scott 110 pointed out that Mayor Rasmussen has done an excellentjob working with Logan Mayor 111 Daines during the last couple weeks. Logan did a warrant study 18 months ago, which 112 determined no action was required. They take into consideration accidents, but the recent 113 fatality was due to the victim not wearing a seatbelt, which is a factor not related to the 114 intersection itself. Mayor Rasmussen agreed that he and the council desire Logan City look into a solution and move forward. 117 Councilmember Scott didn't have anything. 118 119 Councilmember Clausen was absent. 120 121 Coimcilmember Wilson 122 • She asked if the park restrooms will be closed soon. PWD Nelson informed they will stay open 123 until the temperatures drop to freezing, since the park continues to be used until then. 124 125 Councilmember Wright didn't have anything. 126 127 Recorder Lind didn't have anything. 128 129 Mayor Rasmussen 130 • He is still waiting on Michael Ballam to meet about the Old Church. 131 132 Public Comment: There was none. 133 Discuss Adoption of a Commercial Parking Ordinance: Councilmember Wright discussed the 134 proposed commercial parking ordinance, unanimously passed on by the planning commission. They 135 heard concem from citizens that they didn't want the potential ofa commercial building in this zone. 136 Therefore, the ordinance precludes this. He briefly went through the procedure process for an applicant. River Heights City Council Meeting, 10/9/18 138 Mayor Rasmussen asked about the release of stormwater. The ordinance addresses the 139 collection, but not the release. Councilmember Wright informed, the engineer would take care of the 140 management of their system design. PWD Nelson pointed out they will need to follow the standards 141 already in place. 142 Mayor Rasmussen asked if the language was restrictive enough about the grounds maintenance 143 building; are there any limitations to size? Commissioner Schaub suggested a maximum size. They 144 discussed stating a certain percentage ofthe total property, like 1.5%. Height is already addressed in 145 the code. 146 Councilmember Wilson was concerned that the city would make provisions for an accessory 147 building that was already there. Others said it was a reasonable expectation for any parking lot. 148 Councilmember Wilson asked about the procedure. Councilmember Wright explained, after 149 the council approves the plan, the applicant will work out the rest ofthe details with public works and 150 the engineer. They will deal with small changes, but significant revisions will need to come back to 151 the council. Ms. Wilson felt any changes should come back to the council. PWD Nelson doesn't 152 foresee him approving changes. The plan will be dictated by this ordinance and the city's construction 153 specifications. Mr. Wright pointed out that the city engineer is typically hard on developers, making 154 them stick to their plan. 155 Councilmember Wilson asked if this ordinance would apply to the Sinclair station. She was 156 told it wouldn't affect it at all because the station is located in a residential zone, with a historical 157 overlay. Councilmember Wright explained the CP zone can only be located next to a current 158 commercial zone. 159 Councilmember Wright suggested addressing two additional items in the code: Responsibility 160 of upgrades to the adjacent public right of way and a security of performance bond on the public 161 improvements. Attorney Jenkins had given some suggested wording, which he read and the council 162 agreed to. Mayor Rasmussen suggested a possible bond for future improvements. PWD Nelson said 163 the road should be put in at this time because we don't want them tracking on a dirt road. The 164 proposed code states they need to have paved access to a public street. 165 Lance Anderson said they have some draft designs that show the new lot egressing into their 166 existing parking lot. 167 Councilmember Wilson asked what would happen if they ended up purchasing the next 168 property and then the next, on down. Councilmember Wright said the way to prevent it is to update 169 the general plan, showing where the city will allow the CP zone. Commissioner Lehnig pointed out 170 that the CP zone must be connected to a commercial zone. Councilmember Wilson suggested the 171 ordinance identify this zone applies to only this one piece of property. Commissioner Schaub stated, it 172 needs to be city wide, so its not a spot zone. 173 Councilmember Wright moved to "adopt Ordinance 4-2018, An Ordinance to Adopt 174 Changes to the City Code of River Heights, Utah,for a commercial parking zone with the 175 following changes, an accessory building may not exceed 1.5% of the gross land area, the 176 applicant will be responsible to pay for all necessary public improvements on streets adjacent to 177 the property within the CP zone and that a security of performance is required as described in 178 11-5-lB." Councilmember Scott seconded the motion, which carried with Scott, Thatcher and 179 Wright in favor. Wilson opposed and Clausen was absent. 180 Mayor Rasmussen felt a good decision was made. Lance Anderson felt it was a good decision 181 for River Heights. 182 Adoption of a Resolution to Update Fees: Councilmember Wright said because the 183 commercial parking zone has passed, application fees need to be set. River Heights City Council Meeting, 10/9/18 — Councilmember Wright moved to "adopt Resolution 8-2018, A Resolution to Update Fees." Councilmember Scott seconded the motion, which carried with Scott, Thatcher and 186 Wright in favor. Wilson opposed and Clausen was absent. 187 Discuss No-Fault Utility Claims Ordinance: Councilmember Wright reported he has given the 188 ordinance draft to Attorney Jenkins, who will most likely respond by the next meeting. Mr. Jenkins 189 asked him why the city would adopt this ordinance when they have an insurance policy that already 190 dictates what the city will cover in the case of a break or backup. Mayor Rasmussen said its because if 191 someone from the city makes an offer to someone in this situation, the ordinance says we canft offer 192 anything more than what the insurance will cover. Mr. Wright reviewed and answered questions 193 regarding the few changes he made since the last meeting. 194 They decided to review the draft one more time at the next meeting, in case the attorney had 195 any comments. A public hearing will likely be held on November 13. 196 The meeting adjourned at 8:10 p.m. •' ' f 197 \^\lUk 'NJaA 198 ^ ^ Sheila Lind, Recorder TodikAT Rasmussen.
