Electronic Meeting Planning Commission Chairman Statement In accordance with, Utah Code 52-4-207(4) Open and Public Meeting Act, I have determined that to protect the health and welfare of Sandy citizens, an in person Planning Commission meeting, including attendance by the public and the Planning Commission is not practical or prudent. Considering the continued rise of COVID-19 case counts in Utah, meeting in an anchor location presents substantial risk to the health and safety of those in attendance because physical distancing measures may be difficult to maintain in the Sandy City Council Chambers. The Center for Disease Control states that COVID-19 is easily spread from person to person between people who are in close contact with one another. The spread is through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks and may be spread by people who are non-symptomatic. It is my intent to safeguard the lives of Sandy residents, business owners, employees and commission members by meeting remotely through electronic means without an anchor location. Community Development staff are hereby authorized and directed to include a copy of the above notice with each Planning Commission agenda.

SUB-09-20-5 Harris Lot Split Subdivision (Preliminary Review) 908 625 E. 8800 S. [Community #4 - Historic Sandy] Attachments: Staff report.pdf Map and materials.pdf Craig Evans presented this item to the Planning Commission. Michael Christopherson asked if the Sandy City Historical Committee recommendations needed to be added to the conditions of approval. Craig Evans said yes. Michael Christopherson asked if the approved plat needed to be modified to show the recommended changes. Craig Evans said the shared driveway would be the only modification that would need to be removed, but if the recommendations are added to the approval conditions, then that would take care of it. Dave Bromley didn’t see the plat in the staff report and if that will cause a problem for approving this item if it is just being seen now. Michael Christopherson asked if the plat not being in the staff report will cause any issues. Darien Alcorn, City Attorney, explained that it is not written in city code that the plat must be in the packet for the public and that information given in the meeting is part of the record and can be approved but if you are not comfortable without looking further into the plat you can table or continue the item. Michael Christopherson asked if the commissioners would be comfortable with reviewing the plat during the meeting or if more time was needed to review it. The Planning Commissioners agreed that they were comfortable with reviewing it now. Jeff Lovell asked if Sandy City staff have any issues or concerns with the Sandy City Historical Committee recommendations. Craig Evans said no and the only reason they were not included in the conditions of approval was because the committee meeting was held after the staff report had been written. Al Boman, the applicant, further presented this item to the Planning Commission. Dave Bromley asked if there was a twenty-four foot access in and out of the garages. Al Boman explained that they originally showed a twenty-foot shared driveway but now they will widen it to make it easier so lot 1 will be twelve feet and lot 2 will be twenty feet. Dave Bromley asked if a neighboring fence was built on the property line, would twenty feet be adequate to enter and exit the garage. Sandy City, Utah Page 8 Printed on 11/11/2020 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes October 15, 2020 Al Boman said that it would. Craig Evans explained that the applicant is requesting the Historic Sandy Development Overlay Zone which would allow them to do the development as proposed. It does require PC approval, but is not a special exception, however. It is something they request at the time of application, and then the PC can choose to approve or deny the application of the HSD Overlay Zone based on whether the PC finds it appropriate. Dave Bromley asked Craig about concerns about a front porch in the historical zone and if that was covered in condition number two. Craig Evans said yes. Michael Christopherson asked if they needed to include any language in the motion to approve the HSD overlay zone or if the conditions of approval confirm that. James Sorensen explained that the Planning Commission should affirmatively approve it. Michael Christopherson opened this item to public comment. Brooke Christensen, City Council member and member of the Sandy City Historic Committee explained that they are really pushing for two separate driveway’s and if that is included that the neighborhood is okay with the development under those recommendations. Michael Christopherson closed this item to public comment. James Sorensen asked Craig Evans if we can change the language in the conditions to say that two separate driveways are required. Craig Evans said yes. Michael Christopherson clarified that it needs to be added as a condition. James Sorensen said yes. Michael Christopherson asked if it needed to be in addition to the separate driveway recommendation for the Sandy City Historic Committee or does that cover it. James Sorensen said that should be fine. A motion was made by Jeff Lovell, seconded by Monica Collard that the Planning Commission approve the application of the HSD overlay zone and determine Preliminary Subdivision review is complete for the Cliff Harris Lot Split Subdivision, located at 625 E. 8800 S., based upon the four findings and five conditions outlined in the staff report with the removal of condition three and With the additional three conditions added from the Historic Committee's recommendation as follows: 1. That both Lot 1 and Lot 2 have separate driveways. That Lot 1 driveway should be on the east side of the existing home, and Lot 2 driveway should be Sandy City, Utah Page 9 Printed on 11/11/2020 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes October 15, 2020 entirely contained within the boundary of Lot 2, and not cross the boundary onto Lot 1 at any point. 2. That the drive approach (not including the wings) for each lot be close to the 12-foot minimum width required by Sandy City. 3. That the garage on Lot 1, to be located behind the existing home, be oriented to the east rather than to the west.
