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.

Sandy City, Utah Page 3 Printed on 11/20/2020 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes November 5, 2020 Planning Commissioners shared their opinions on the rezone and concept plan as requested by City Council: Jamie Tsandes believes that the Applicant has done a great job in revising their plan. She likes the theme of the project. Michael Christopherson said that he was the only one that voted for the PUD (12) last time. He is supportive of the changes as proposed and believes there is a need for this type of project to provide opportunities for people to live in our community, especially along the transportation corridor like 700 E. Dave Bromley appreciated the civil communication with the developer and the residents. Dave feels that the Applicant has done a good job of taking the feedback and revising the plan. He thought the amenity package was well-themed and thought out. He also likes the location of the open space and the view corridor into the project from 700 E. The gate at the entrances is a good thing but is concerned about the stacking and potential blocking of traffic on 700 E. Dave also felt that the building articulation was commendable. There is a concern of the cumulative effect over time of higher density projects in the City but feels that the higher density projects should be closer to the freeway. Monica Collard feels that the Applicant has definitely improved the plan. Monica has a concern over rear loaded units. She does like the townhome project that was built along 7800 S and feels that a lot of the concerns about traffic have not come to fruition. She has concerns with the gate, and additional discussion is needed on how fast people will be able to move through. Cameron Duncan likes the unit reduction and the open space. He expressed support of the PUD, which will allow the Planning Commission to have influence on the heights of buildings and other elements of the project. Jeff Lovell likes the changes and feels that this is a good compromise. He lives close to a similar project and believes that the perceived impacts have not been as bad as people thought they would be. Daniel Schoenfeld says he has concerns about the gate and possible stacking onto 700 E. A motion was made by Michael Christopherson, seconded by Dave Bromley, that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve the zone change from R-1-40A to PUD(10) based on the concept plan "as presented" and with direction to City Staff to provide a more detailed summary of the Planning Commission's specific comments, both positive and negative, in reaction to the concept plan and presentation presented to them in response to the City Councils request. In addition, that the Planning Commission be allowed, even informally, to review and approve that summary prior to it being forwarded to the City Council for their review.
