85 next year for improvements on 600 South.

back to preparing and getting a bid out for the church.
1 ij • He asked where they could move the piles of dirt that have always been stored on the new park
114 property. When informed there was no other option, he asked for a future discussion soon on

170 verbiage added by the council about bluestakes, since they decided it wasn't needed at their last meeting.'

180 Update on Goals for the New Park: Councilmember Milbank spent quite a bit of time with
181 Engineer Rasmussen last week to see if he could oversee the new park project. Mr. Rasmussen convinced
182 him to stay with BioWest to finish the project since they developed the plans. They updated the Phase 2
183 goals. They would put off the construction of the restroom and pavilion and do some basic things to
184 make It look like a park.
185 Mr. Milbank announced that Janice Skousen was leaving town for two years so nothing would be
186 done with raising money for trees in the park.
187 There was discussion on the high cost of mobilization fees, which was something that could
188 fluctuate on bids. Councilmember Gallup asked if BioWest would consider the type of grass that is best
189 for our area and drought resistant plants. Mr. Milbank felt BioWest knew what they were doing in that
190 area.
191 Councilmember Milbank discussed moving the dirt mounds and hoped they could find a place for
192 them. It was his goal to get the Improvements in by spring. He was willing to postpone planting trees and
193 shrubs since the mayor wanted to shave some of the capital improvements. The mayor confirmed that
194 would help.
195 Councilmember Milbank asked PWD Nelson if he had received bids on the fence. Mr. Nelson said
196 he had one from Arrow and was still waiting for Custom Fence to respond.
197 Councilmember Milbank said he would ask Engineer Rasmussen to get the bid out for Phase 2.

11-4-1: DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS
A. Intent: By the time a subdivider creates a preiiminary piat, both the subdivider and the
city have made a substantial investment In time and money, in addition, once the
preiiminary piat has been completed, it is difficult and expensive to rework the plans for
the project. To better meet the needs of the city and the subdivider, the city has adopted
the foiiowing development review process.
B. Pre-application Meeting:
1. Intent: The purpose of the pre-appiication meeting is to allow the subdivider the
opportunity to share with the administrative land use authority (as defined by Utah
Code Ann. § 10-9a-604.1) his/her proposed project plans, it also gives the
administrative land use authority the opportunity to share with the subdivider the
city's thoughts and ideas. The administrative land use authority will comment on the
compatibility of the proposed development with the general plan and general
compliance with the zoning ordinance, this title, and other ordinances and/or city
regulations.
2. Process: The subdivider shall obtain and review a copy of the subdivision ordinance
and application from the city or the city's website. After submittal of the application
and payment of the fee, the subdivider may contact the city recorder to schedule a
pre-appiication meeting. The City Recorder shall schedule a conference with the
administrative land use authority within ten (10) business days of receiving the
request. The subdivider shall provide the foiiowing information to the administrative
land use authority:
a. A general description of the existing conditions of the site.
b. A sketch plan (hard copy or digital copy in pdf format) showing the proposed
subdivision layout, including the numbers of lots and street locations.
c. The relationship of the proposed subdivision to existing utilities and streets.

use authority has a general idea of what is desired for the proposed development,
they will forward the sketch plan to the planning commission for further consideration
along with notes of the pre-application meeting and a recommendation to approve,
conditionally approve or reject the proposed development. If a preliminary
subdivision application complies with applicable city ordinances, the administrative
land use authority shall forward their recommendation to the planning commission.
C. Concept Plan:
1. Intent: With the administrative land use authority's recommendation and pre-
appllcation meeting notes, the planning commission and the subdivider can review the
proposed development to get a general idea of what is desired and how each
visualizes the final product. While this is not a full preliminary plan (It will not contain
the technical aspects of a fully engineered plan), the concept plan is the step where
major decisions are made and agreed to.
2. Process:
a. At least one week prior to a regularly scheduled planning commission meeting, the
subdivider shall inform the planning commission chairperson of his/her desire to
be on the agenda and shall submit the concept plan, overlayed on the site analysis

standing which shall permit the subdivider to proceed with subdivision
construction.

proposed project site. The site analysis map shall be prepared in a digital pdf
