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. Cameron Duncan, Chair Sandy City Planning Commission Sandy City, Utah Page 1 Printed on 3/5/2021 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes February 18, 2021 The February 18, 2021 Sandy City Planning Commission meeting will be conducted via Zoom Webinar.

Ben Smith further presented this item to the Planning Commission. Cameron Duncan opened this item to public comment. Becky Shultz thinks that this is a single-family area and would rather see a few homes and is concerned about construction interrupting church meetings held next door. Julie Hepworth has concerns about the corner of Coppercreek and 1380 E., visitors blocking views and creating a bottleneck and potential Airbnb’s and illegal parking. Tom and Joan Lewis agree with previous comments and think that this is not a high-density area, and there is no room for it. Leaving as commercial property is a threat. Would like to see single family residents. Debra Stoker has concerns about congestion with added density. Heather Meier is opposed to the request and does not think townhomes are a good idea for this area. Dennis Hiatt agreed and believed that high density area will not work in the neighborhood. Karen Conder pointed out that the dance studio across the street adds to the craziness of the congestions on 1380 E. Cameron Duncan closed this item to public comment. Monica Collard asked if residents would have to drive through the high density to get to single family homes. Cameron Duncan explained that they would have an entrance on 1380 E. Jake Warner clarified that the multi family would access Coppercreek and the single family would enter through 1380 E. He also clarified that the application is for about 0.63 of the 1.02 acre parcel. Michael Christopherson asked if they could hear from Brittney Ward about the traffic concerns. Brittney Ward explained that single family homes take 10 trips a day and the multifamily homes take 7.5 trips per day, creating 65 new trips on Coppercreek which is built for 2,000 trips per day at max and the added trips would not cause congestion or delays. Sandy City, Utah Page 4 Printed on 3/5/2021 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes February 18, 2021 Brittney Ward also addressed parking concerns and explained that it is legal to park on local roads but are subject to current traffic codes and laws. She explained that there have only been two accidents since 2007 and that traffic from Silver Mesa would not affect congestion. Michael Christopherson expressed that he is in favor and thinks Sandy City needs more housing like this. Jeff Lovell agreed. Daniel Schoenfeld explained that he is in favor of the homes but not sure that the high density fits this area.
