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. Jamie Tsandes, Chair Sandy City Planning Commission Sandy City, Utah Page 1 Printed on 12/4/2020 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 The November 19, 2020 Sandy City Planning Commission meeting will be conducted via Zoom Webinar.

SPR-08-20-5 Towne Ridge Retail Pads “B” and “C” (Preliminary Site Plan Review) 886 9680 and 9710 S. State Street [Community #2 - Civic Center] Attachments: Staff report, documents and map.pdf Doug Wheelwright presented this item to the Planning Commission. Jared Plouzek, the architect for the project, further presented this item to the Planning Commission. Michael Christopherson asked the applicant if there were pedestrian access points from State Street. Jared Plouzek explained that each site will have two pedestrian entries from State Street. These entry points also will have a different color of concrete to help identify that it is for pedestrians. Doug Wheelwright explained the purpose and reasoning behind bringing the canopies out closer to State Street. He also explained the long-term vision of the pedestrian space adjacent to the front of the building and how that could be expanded if the drive-up windows ever go away. James Sorensen explained that staff thinks this a good concept and are excited about the project. Jamie Tsandes asked about the landscaping and if it was going to be done in phases. Jared Plouzek explained that there is some existing landscaping along the west boundary, and everything will be done in one phase. The reason for the islands without trees is because they are over the canal easement. Cameron Duncan asked about the reclaimed wood and its durability and the sidewalk next to State Street since it is a little jagged. Jared Plouzek explained the reasoning for the landscaping creating a meandering sidewalk as called for in the Cairns Design Standards. The reclaimed wood is an idea of the property owner to help this become a net zero building. The owner is committed to making it look good and will need to provide maintenance. If the material does not prove to be durable, they will discuss with staff other material. Cameron Duncan asked about maintenance for the reclaimed wood. Jared Plouzek said that it is typically every five years. Jamie Tsandes asked if the Planning Commission has ever allowed projects with reclaimed wood. Doug Wheelwright explained that it was before the Cairns Design Standards were put into place. The design standards do focus on durable materials. This is one of the exceptions that the applicant is seeking. Jamie Tsandes asked if they would require a maintenance agreement. Sandy City, Utah Page 6 Printed on 12/4/2020 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Doug Wheelwright said that the maintenance would be the responsibility of the owners. Jamie Tsandes asked NH Rather if he had any concerns with that much wood and its durability. NH Rather he was part of the Civic Center Architectural Review meetings and that he doesn’t have any concerns with the durability. He felt that the wood would provide some variety in the materials. Jami Tsandes opened this item to public comment. Dale Hull, owner of Neuroworx (adjacent property to the west of Albion Village) said that he is not in favor of the reclaimed wood because it could become a maintenance issue and has concerns about vehicle safety because of the dip in the road on State Street and cars having little visibility when turning right. Steve Van Maren agrees with site triangle issue on State Street and has concerns with the drive-thru having the same elevations as the sidewalk and that there is no curb and gutter. Jamie Tsandes closed this item to public comment. Doug Wheelwright explained that they will still meet drainage and LID requirements and that they will protect the view in the site triangles. Michael Christopherson asked for clarification on condition three. Doug Wheelwright said that appendix D will be included in the motion automatically. A motion was made by Michael Christopherson, seconded by Monica Collard that the Planning Commission find that the preliminary site plan review is complete for the proposed Towne Ridge Retail pad lots “B” and “C” project, based upon the three findings and eight conditions detailed in the staff report.
