Electronic Meeting Planning Commission Chair 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.

SUB0222202 Southeast Industrial Park Amended Condominium Plat (Preliminary 2-006272 Review) 8496 S. Harrison St. [Community #1 - Northwest Exposure] Attachments: Staff report.pdf Map, notice and materials.pdf Craig Evans introduced this item to the Planning Commission. David Mckinney, land surveyor, said he's comfortable with the staff report and will fix what he needs to. He also said asked if the landscaping needs to be on their property. Craig Evans asked David Mckinney if the landscaping is within their property lines. David Mckinney said no it's just outside and within the new UDOT R.O.W. Craig Evans said the five foot landscaping is required to be on their property. David Mckinney asked how it got reconstructed without the landscaping being on the property. Craig Evans said he didn't know how the landscaping evolved through the prior amendment. Ron Mortimer opened this item to public comment. Steve Van Maren said it's an obvious approval. Paul Quilter said he owns a couple of units in the complex and has been working with UDOT for a couple of years to settle on the compensation amount due from UDOT. He said UDOT put in gravel and wasn't sure if the landscaping requirement included the gravel or if they have to cut into their existing parking. Craig Evans replied saying that by ordinance the landscaping needs to be installed on the property between the parking/access area and the right of way area. Paul Quilter asked what the landscaping needs to look like. Craig Evans replied saying it could consist of xeriscape or sod with trees and bushes. Paul Quilter said that UDOT told him that they would have the same amount of space that they've had before but is now being told they have to cut into their parking another five feet. Jennifer Quilter asked if the owners will have to pay for the cost to rip up asphalt and curb in order to landscape. Paul Quilter said they're not paying for anything since UDOT caused this issue. James Sorensen asked Craig Evans to clarify what the focus of the Planning Commission was. Sandy City, Utah Page 3 Printed on 4/22/2022 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes April 7, 2022 Craig Evans said we are asking the Planning Commission to determine that the preliminary review is complete, that according to the plat there is 46.59 feet between the building and the right of way line and that five feet of landscaping is required by ordinance. James Sorensen asked if the Planning Commission has any leeway for the five feet. Doug Wheelwright said no and that UDOT doesn't check into city requirements. Ron Mortimer asked Doug Wheelwright what the applicant or property owners need to do next after Planning Commission makes a decision. Doug Wheelwright said they need to work with staff if they're going to install the landscaping or have a notice of non compliance recorded against the property if they are not going to add back the landscaping that was removed by the freeway widening project. Homer Prison said he owns a unit in the complex and said that UDOT was supposed to compensate them for the cost to cure and asked if they need to go back to UDOT to compensate for tearing up the asphalt and curb. James Sorensen said that would be a discussion he'd need to have with staff and asked Doug Wheelwright to confirm. Doug Wheelwright said yes and that they were compensated for the fifty feet of land that included the landscaping that the state condemned. Homer Prison said they did that wrong. Doug Wheelwright and James Sorensen both said that's a discussion he'd have to have with UDOT. Homer Prison asked about the noncompliance and if they would get fined for it. Doug Wheelwright said that it shows up in the title, it could become a title exception and could possibly hold up finance. Homer Prison asked if they could get a variance on it. Doug Wheelwright said no. Jennifer Quilter said they wouldn't have enough space for the turnaround. Doug Wheelwright said it's not a turnaround it would be a fire access aisle. Paul Quilter said they were guaranteed, by UDOT, a certain amount of space for parking and taking away five feet is a significant space. Jennifer Quilter said there are a lot of 18 foot trailers that access that road and they need a big enough space to get around the building. Ron Mortimer closed this item to public comment. Dave Bromley asked if the applicant wanted to have this item moved to a subsequent agenda and bring it back to the Planning Commission once concerns have been worked out with UDOT. Sandy City, Utah Page 4 Printed on 4/22/2022 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes April 7, 2022 Both Danny Schoenfeld and Ron Mortimer agreed with Dave Bromley's direction. Ron Mortimer asked the Quilters, Dave Mckinney and Mr. Prison to raise their virtual hand if they had any objections with Planning Commission moving forward with a decision before they address concerns with UDOT. Paul Quilter said he does not want Planning Commission to move forward because they haven't settled with UDOT. Dave Bromley told Paul Quilter that the Planning Commission's decision does not change his position with UDOT. All it means is that it doesn't require them to come back before the Planning Commission. Paul Quilter said he doesn't want to lose any negotiating power with UDOT by moving forward. Dave Bromley asked Dave Mckinney if they want to move forward. Dave Mckinney said they were hired to prepare the plat and wants to move forward with the approval. A motion was made by Dave Bromley, seconded by Danny Schoenfeld that the Planning Commission determine that preliminary review is complete for the Southeast Industrial Park Amended Condominium Plat based on the two findings and five conditions outlined in the staff report.
