Commissioner Hollist stated that there were several items to address during the meeting,
including the election of officers for the year, as it was the first meeting of the year. She
explained that the commission typically elects a chair, vice chair, and an Architectural Review
Committee (ARC) representative. She noted that this structure could change if the commission
begins adopting bylaws, but for the time being, the current structure would suffice unless there
were any objections.
D.1. Elect Commission Chair
Chair Hollist opened the floor for nominations for the position of commission chair.
Commissioner Catmull nominated Commissioner Gedge as Chair. Commissioner Hollist
seconded the motion. The vote was 4 to 0 in favor; Commissioner Gedge obstained from the
vote.
Chair Hollist will conduct the rest of tonight’s meeting and Commissioner Gedge will start the
Chair position at the next Planning Commission Meeting being held on January 28. 2025.
D.2. Elect Commission Vice Chair
Commissioner Gedge nominated Commissioner Hollist as Vice Chair. Commissioner
Bevans seconded the motion. The vote was 4 to 0 in favor; Commissioner Hollist obstained
from the vote.
D.3. Choose ARC Representative
Commissioner Hollist nominated Commissioner Bevins as our ARC representative for 2025
Commissioner Catmull seconded the motion. The vote was 5-0 unanimous in favor.
Commissioenr Gedge said I would like to remind everyone of the State of The City, the mayor's
address tomorrow evening and I believe it's being held at the South Jordan Ccommunity Center.
Commissioner Catmull said. I went to the Utah Trails Network meeting today, and it was very
similar to the other planning meetings we have, although this one is driven by the parents, by
UDOT. And so it's about building regional trails throughout the state of Utah, how to fund it,
prioritize it. And so we, like the other exercises, will draw on a map areas that we think are of
interest as destinations or intermediate steps and pathways, we think to get there, and all that
goes into all the other feedback and will come out eventually is trails that can be funded for
ardscape, so if you like asphalt, and with certain standards that. Are seen as regional, so, across
city, cross county. And so the legislature has funded, every year a certain number of or certain
amount of dollars to invest in this, towards this and the comprehensive transportation plan. So
really interesting to see things that could be destinations like downtown daybreak, and how to
how to connect that with everything else. So there were a couple of people from South Jordan
staff there. Jeremy was there. So Jeremy and I can't remember the other individual, but we're just
thankful for the opportunity to provide feedback to those larger bodies.

Applicant: Perigee Consulting on behalf of Miller Family Real Estate
Planner Greg Schindler reviewed background information on this item from the staff report.
Commissioner Catmull said you were mentioning in your presentation called out the South
Valley Water Reclamation. Is that just land that's owned, or was there a facility or something?
Planner Schindler said it used to be a facility that was referred to as the poop farm. that was I
think maybe Jeremy knows a little bit more, but I believe it's cleaned up now, and it's proposed
to be, at some point a master plan community as well, but not by daybreak. It's a different
developer. So it's currently called shoreline.
Kurt Utley (Applicant) said I am with Larry H Miller Real Estate and I would like to say thank
you for the consideration, and I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
Commissioner Hollist opened the Public Hearing to comments. There were none. She closed the
Public Hearing.
Commissioner Bishop said I am curious about the garages. It's normal in Daybreak currently for
the front door to face the street and the garage to face the alley. But I didn't see that here. I was
just curious how that's going to work.
Kurt Utley said that's correct. There's a handful of lots that are on the far western edge that will
be front loaded, so those would be handled similarly to some of the front loaded houses and lots
that we had in some of the earlier phases of Daybreak. The garage will be pushed back so that it's
not part of the home, so it'll still meet the guidelines that we have set up in the PC zone.

Applicant: Max Bordahk
Planner Miguel Aguilera reviewed background information on this item from the staff report.
Commissioner Hollist said can you go back to the slide that showed the traffic flow?
Planner Miguel Aguilera said so, this was just highlighting the blue suites that are going to be
what the restaurants are. The orange is going to be the what the retail space are. The arrows
indicates the driveway aisles for the pickup or the drive up window and then the entrance up to
the north west. The Northwest is going to be what they're going to build to expand that, because
right now it looks more like a driveway, like a residential driveway entrance. UDOT has given
them permission to expand it into an actual access way.
Commissioner Hollist said so, to confirm this does not exit out onto 10400 S.
Planner Aguilera said so it is a right out only, and I believe it's also a right in, because there is a
medium there.
Chair Hollist said can you confirm that is in between the two buildings, where there is an arrow
pointed up. Is there is sufficient access that cars using the drive through on the right could turn
and exit out, as cars came in to exit the building or access the building on the left.
Planner Aguilera said this was brought up with engineering. We did have concerns about that.
Originally, the site plan had parking, I think maybe on both sides. So during the review process,
they kept the parking only on one side. But perhaps Jeremy can speak more to the safety of that,
but during the review process, once they submitted this site plan with the modified parking, they
didn't express any further concerns about the safety there.
Commissioner Gedge said to follow up on this. So again, the right in, right out on the western
part of the property that's shown there,, aren't we supposed to have two access points for a
development property like this, and if so, why is that waived or not applicable?
Planner Aguilera said I'm not sure about the requirement for access points.
Commissioner Gedge said I was just wondering if you know if there's a traffic collision right
there, someone's coming in, everybody inside this property is going to be stuck. Did fire sign off
on this. I'm assuming they signed off on it, but that's just one concern I have. And then the
second one would be so that access is crossing the UDOT property. This is a conditional access
permits being granted, so who controls that condition of the conditional access permit? Who can
revoke that? Is it solely UDOT and so are we approving something that can be built and then no
South Jordan City 5
Planning Commission Meeting
January14, 2025
longer access, I am I'm just a little concerned about that. Could you can address those two items
of the multiple access points in the conditional access permit?
Planner Aguilera said I'm not too familiar with the conditional access permit. Jeremy, do you
know more about that, how UDOT works with giving those out and how they handle it if they
have to revoke that in the future?
Assistant City Engineer Nielson said I don't know the details of that conditional access permit,
other than what was in the packet indicating that it appeared it either was approved or was in the
process of being approved to be able to have that access across their property. Regarding the
single access, I don't remember exactly if it's required to have two accesses, but I can say it has
been reviewed by fire and all the different groups, and this has been approved. UDOT wouldn't
approve a second access any closer to that intersection at Redwood road. That would be a big
City concern, and so this single access point is is the best scenario for for what we're doing here.
Commissioner Catmull said are there any easements on the property? I couldn't see any, but I
just want to double check to see if you're aware of any.
Planner Aguilera said no there weren't any. The only ones which really are not on the property
were like the UDOTparcels adjacent to South Jordan Parkway.
Commissioner Catmull said the garbage dumpsters that are shown on the south side in the center
appear to be projected into the rear landscape buffer, is that allowed by city code as an element
of the landscape design.
Planner Aguilera said that was pointed out during the review process and it was not an ideal
location for the dumpsters by the building department, but they didn't hold up the review or the
application because of the location of the dumpsters, as to whether or not it can be part of the
buffer, that's a little unclear to me. I would have to look through the code for that specifically,
but it was not pointed out as an issue holding the application from moving forward.
Commissioner Catmull said I was looking at that last night, because it's a little unusual, we
usually see it like we see the other item that we're going to be reviewing today.
Planner Aguilera said I'm not sure if the applicant would be willing to adjust their site plan
slightly to move those dumpsters up, or if it's going to be a concern for residents to have a
dumpsters nearby, or if it turns out the landscape does have to go all the way across there without
being impeded by those dumpsters.
Commissioner Catmull said it would be right there next to the residential zone, right?
Planner Aguilera said that is correct, but there would also be a masonry fence or a wall,
essentially separating this property from the nearby residences.
Commisioner Catmull said I was looking at as what is allowed. And unfortunately I have a little
bit of a concern from what I am my reading of the code about the location of the dumpsters or
receptacles.Did we review the tree percentage and type of requirements for the commercial
South Jordan City 6
Planning Commission Meeting
January14, 2025
zones? I believe it's like 70% ever green, or 30% evergreen, 70% deciduous. I'm specifically
focused on that South boundary. I don't know where else it was on the landscape, but I just want
to make sure that it butts right next to residential on both sides, and that we are very particular
about meeting that requirement, because that is a desirable type of buffer.
Planner Aguilera said they do meet the requirements for the trees and numbers and percentage
between deciduous and evergreen trees. I don't have the exact numbers with me right now, but I
think the number required was a total of 24 trees, or somewhere around there. And they do
exceed that by a few, at least 30% of those trees being evergreen trees.
Max Bordahk (Applicant) – said my partner is here with me tonight. I know the dumpster is a
concern. And to be honest, we didn't think it'd be a problem. It was already reviewed. If it's a
problem with the code, we might be willing to move it somewhere. What if we put a large
enclosure around it, so we would have a six foot masonry wall separating the property lines. We
we're thinking maybe 10 feet around the dumpster, or something like that. we're willing to do
that for you guys. We have our civil engineer with us as well, and he said the only actual place
we can move the dumpster is onto the front of the building, and that will be right on the street
view, which I don't know if the city would want that. Our best case scenario, is to build a higher
fence and a higher wall against the whole situation. So if there's winds or any type of situation
causing that to overflow, we would have coverage. If you guys would like, we can also think of
something to cover that up.
Commissioner Hollist said what would be allowed as far as fence height? I know that there are
particulars. Would that even be permitted?
Planner Aguilera said I do believe the maximum allowed is six feet. But I'm gonna look at the
code again to be sure.
Commissioner Catmull said I spent way too much time last night reading about these things, but
I did stumble upon that and I believe it is six foot is in residential, but commercial it can go
higher. I know we've had items where we did go higher, but can someone confirm that.
Assistant said so if that's the case, I was thinking maybe 15 feet to the West and 15 feet to the
East of the dumpster, so go higher than the six foot.
Engineer Mitch Brown said somebody asked about the easements. There is an existing sewer
easement on the east side of the property. It's a 20 foot wide easement underneath the parking
stalls on the east side. Unfortunately, because that easements is there, we can't move the
dumpster over there because the Sewer District doesn't allow permanent structures within their
easement. So that eliminates the east side. The west side and the south side are both residential.
The north side is obviously fronting South Jordan Parkway. There was a comment about the
UDOT access, and off the top my headI think it's 660ft., or something like that. UDOT won't
grant a secondary access to this site, they will only grant this one on the west side. In fact, we
originally submitted to UDOT earlier, with an access in the middle, which they denied. So this is
where UDOT wants their access.
Commissioner Hollist said do you have any idea what the tenants will be ther yet?

Max Bordahk said we are still talking to them. But 33% of the total space can be occupied by
food establishments. In the other spaces we have some interest in medical, post office, like a
UPS or FedEx store, they have expressed some interest. We have a lot of interest besides food. I
think we're not going have any problem filling those spaces. We might consider a pizza joint,
like a walk in one without a lobby, something like a Pizza Hut, or Papa Johns, something along
those lines. But, beyond that ther will probably be two drive through spots.
Commissioner Bevans said I know when we saw this last it was just a rezone, but it looks like
you have kind of changed what these buildings look like. Can you go over a little bit of what
you've changed?
Max Bordahk said we included the UDOT parcels up to the north part of the property. The
building sizes were bigger before, there was a total of 11,000 square feet, now we're down to
8,000, and we went down from four drive thrus to two drive thrus. We also pushed the buildings
up to the front, as you know, per City's request.
Commissioener Bevans said did you change the location of the drive throughs as well?
Max Bordahk said the reason why we changed the drive thru was because of UDOT. We had the
drive thru entrance in the middle of the building, but they didn't allow us to put it there because
it had to be a certain amount of feet away from the site.
Commissioner Catmull said is the reason that the dumpsters can't be moved is that because the
parking constraint size?
Mr. Brown said I think it's like easement issues on the front, and the other reason is the parking
requirements.
Assistant said well, so we can't go on the East because of the sewer easement, but it can be
moved anywhere on the south side, or the east side, or the North really, we just have to consider
the dumpster truck being able to access the dumpster.
Mr. Brown said due to the parking situation we've actually redesigned this probably eight times.,
It's just the whole situation with engineering and architectural. It's been kind of a headache trying
to figure out what's the best option. And at the end, we came up with as the best option.
Max Bordahk said if a temporary structure were to be granted around the dumpsters instead of a
permanent one, it could be moved east, pending the sewer districts permitting that we would lose
a minimum one parking stall there, which we've already met but we don't want to lose any more
parking stalls.
Mr. Brown said if we would need to lease the spot, it becomes much harder for a lot of
companies to come in, so that would constrain us on leasing out the property itself. So that's why
I'm saying there's so many different situations and problems that come with just moving the
dumpsters around. That is why we were doing our best to keep it in the correct spot, and based
off everyone's perspective, this is the best situation.

Commissioner Bevans said do we know when pick up of those dumpsters would be?
Max Bordahk said usually, when they pick up it's early in the morning or late at night. It's one of
those options. I mean, I don't know if we can set something up where we can work with
dumpster companies to pick up super early in the morning or late at night.
Commissioner Bevans said that's between you and the company you decide to have service,
correct?
Max Bordahk said said yes.
Commissioner Bevans said that is my concern, if that is picked up during business hoursthat
would potentially block traffic in and out.
Max Bordahk said the best potential would probably be after eight o'clock or nine o'clock, so it's
not disturbing anyone.
Commissioner Bishop said I was looking at the sidewalk access, we'd love it if people walked
here and we've got one little sidewalk. It looks like it is connecting into the west building, so I
was trying to figure out if there was anything else we could do here to make it a sidewalk.
Assistant said this relies on the fact that that it is UDOT property. That situation is based on City
Codes an how much we need for a landscape buffer and what part is UDOT property. We can't
really do anything other than that, because they need that bike lane and all those situations, and
we still have to fix all of that. There is a lot that goes into that situation. We understand what
you're saying, but it's out of our hands, because that is a UDOT situation.
Commissioner Gedge said are you talking between the buildings itself and not actually on South
Jordan Parkway?
Commissioner Bishop said I was thinking about the five foot sidewalk that's come comes down
to the west side building, because I am somebody who likes to get around on foot. Sometimes
you get to a place like this and you just feel like you weren't supposed to be there it can be scary.
Commissioner Hollist said that is a legitimate point. There probably will be foot traffic.
Commissioner Gedge said what is the required sidewalk along South Jordan Parkway? Can you
explain what those minimums are for the sidewalk that's along South Jordan Parkway, just along
the bike lane and the roadway itself?
Assistant City Engineer Nielson said typical sidewalk widths are between four and six feet wide.
We have some that are wider than that, but not less than four feet.
Commissioner Bishop said I'm talking particularly about the bit that cuts down and is running
north to south on the map.
South Jordan City 9
Planning Commission Meeting
January14, 2025
Assistant said the right out is kind of to the east of that? That can be extended it is not a problem
for us at all.
Commissioner Hollist said it is a crosswalk to access the building on the west, but then have a
point where it's obvious you want pedestrians to cross over to the other building.
Max Bordahk said I'm not sure why there's no sidewalk there, but maybe it's based off the code
with the exit coming out, and with cars coming out close to the drive thru I'm not sure if they
allow someone to walk in front of that. I would have no problem adding another one. It's just the
concern of would it be safe. Because I think what the architect was going for is to get into the
property, kind of more on a west side, and then they kind of maneuver around where they where
they need to go it's not a really long walk from there.
Commissioner Hollist said how would you feel about a marked pedestrian access from where the
cars come in. That just makes it clear where they want you to walk.
Commissioner Bishop said I guess really my point was looking at this, I feel like it's not really
intended for pedestrians.
Max Bordahk said I understand your concern. That's not a problem we can fix that. That's not a
situation that we're worried about. But if you wanted to add another sidewalk to the other
building, it would fall right in front of the drive thru exit.
Planner Schindler said is it a possibility that you could put a second one on the east end of that
east building? So when they come in, they'd be walking down the side of the building? So they
could either go to one building or the other.
Max Bordahk said that comes with the landscape situation you guys have. I don't know if its
okay for you guys or whatnot. I'm saying that's another thing that could be of concern based off
the code, because we're cutting into the landscape.
Planner Schindler said I was thinking, about coming down on the east side of that building,
where you show landscaping. Miguel, is there something in the Code I don't know about that
they have to have landscaping up against the building. So could that be a sidewalk on that east
side of the building? Could it connect straight out to the road as well?
Planner Aguilera said So, yeah, that would be obvious that it is required in the code.
Chair Hollist opened the Pubic Hearing to comments.
Stan Balfour (South Jordan) said we own the house and property to the west. In the fall of 2023
we talked about the possibility of an eight foot fence. What is the requirement on it now?is it six
or is eight? Because on 10400 South we have an eight foot fence, right? Depending on if it's a
pizza place or something, that's one thing. But, has there been any discussion about Bingham
High School? Because now they come down the northern sidewalk to McDonald's to the
intersection. But as we remember when we were teenagers, some will go to the intersection, but
South Jordan City 10
Planning Commission Meeting
January14, 2025
some will not. Of course, that is a main artery so has there any been any discussion about the
safety of that?
Commissioner Hollist closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Hollist said I think that Mr. Balfour commented about safety and Bingham and
that is what we were talking about with the pedestrian accessibility. I totally share his concern
that students might feel like they can just cross 10400 S. With that being said, they have a light
access on 2200 West with a pedestrian crosswalk that hopefully they would use to sidewalk on
the south side, or they could walk down to Redwood road and hopefully use it there as well.
Commissioner Gedge said I recognize 10400 S Parkway is a UDOT road, but if it does become a
issue there could be a dialog with with the city to install a fence or something so students can’t
cross our jaywalk. I've seen it in other cities, but I know people who cross obviously can't have
it where you have a cross street access, but maybe at certain conflict point to prevent jaywalking.
Obviously, it's going to take one incident and there's going to be a public clamor. And obviously,
we need to work with the school as well to tell their students to use the crosswalks at 2200 W.
Commissioner Hollist said I do think we've identified a concern that we have, and it sounds like
the applicant is open to mitigating it. I would like to have some sort of a requirement that city
staff could review on the final plan, that a thoughtful pedestrian flow be included, and that
markings as appropriate and indicates where pedestrian foot traffic should flow in this complex.
There was also a comment about an eight foot fence. What is the requirement? What is planned
at this time?
Planner Aguilera said the code that I looked at right now, and perhaps Greg can comment on
this, it says that it shall be a six foot high decorative precast concrete fence when adjacent to an
agricultural or residential lot or properties. So I'm not sure if that code language allows for higher
fencing.
Planner Schindler said what section are you looking at, because I found something different.
Planner Aguilera said I'm looking at Section G of fencing part two.
Planner Schindler said in fencing section that G2 it says; with the six foot high fence, a higher
fence may be required or allowed in unusual circumstances. So it could go higher, but it doesn't
say how high.
Commissioner Gedge said I recall our conversation from the rezone, and our discussion was, it
always eight feet, or was about eight feet..
Planner Schindler said because the commission is the approving body for the site plan. That
means it's up to you. It's not something they have to go to City Council for.
Commissioner Gedge said one thing on that eight feet. We need to make sure that the applicant is
agreeable to an eight foot fence before we would make that a part of the motion.
South Jordan City 11
Planning Commission Meeting
January14, 2025
Commissioner Hollist said I could call them up. I just like to put it out on the record before we
do that. I think I'd be more inclined to go for a one height fence than to do eight feet everywhere
instead of some additional height with the dumpster. I do still have some concerns about the
dumpster location, but based on the conversation this evening and the fact that we received no
written comments.
Commissioner Catmull said, did we resolve the landscape offer because we have to follow the
City Code.
Commissioner Hollist said in 17, 3c it says the following: May be projected into any yard
required, area and commercial zones, minor utility or irrigation equipment or facilities, and I
would consider a dumpster in minor utility.
Commissioner Gedge said yes, because garbage disposal is a utility.
Commissioner Catmull said I am open to that.
Commissioner Gedge said we are setting a standard that garbage collection is a utility for future
applications, so we are just consistent for future applications.
Commissioner Catmull said and that's the point, because one of the reasons this is happening is
because we're trying to maximize the building area, so when we do that do we do we want to
consider that a minor utility.
Commissioner Gedge said I would argue, like your residential utility bill from the city includes
garbage collection, so I would say it falls under minor utility based on how the city invoices that
along with water today.
Commissioner Bevans said I do see and share the concern. I don't love that location. I think it's
awkward at best. But if that's the best we've got, like you said infill projects do create some
difficult and particular issus.
Commissioner Catmull said getting that on the record, we don't want to set a precedence that this
is a in a less tricky situation.
Commissioner Hollist said then we should cite the easement significantly limiting what's
possible, and the fact that all other boundaries are residential.
Commissioner Hollist said we ready for the applicant to discuss the fence?
Commissioner Gedge said on the dumpster, I guess on the fence side. Are you going to ask about
the eight foot around the property as well? Does that alleviate the concerns that you had with any
flow of smell into with having raised eight feet across the property?
Commissioner Catmull said yes, because it has to be covered anyway. There is also that
accessory building that is already there, and there is no one that's commented on that tonight. I
South Jordan City 12
Planning Commission Meeting
January14, 2025
know we've been careful about odor is a can be a detrimental effect. And if there's restaurants,
there's gonna be all kinds of odors coming all different directions.
Planner Schindler said can I add one more thing? Maybe there's another solution, but I don't
know if it's where the sewer easement goes or if it comes straight in off of that. It seems like they
might have to lose that one parking space. But it's not the north parking space along there. It is
behind that that easement and there's probably enough room to put t the dumpster in the in that
landscape area. You would have to have that parking space or something a little bit wider so that
the dump truck can back up and pick it up, or come in from whichever way they do it, to pick up
the garbage. We do have other areas in the city where the dumpster has been adjacent to a street
and so forth. And if it is built with masonry to match the same kind of colors that the building
has, and then also you can screen it with landscaping that has to be in it's required landscaping
area. You can put a screen of evergreen trees and things that will screen it completely. I have
seen some at the district that's been done like that. It's not fronting on 11400 south but there are
those main roads that go through the district, and those have some of the dumpsters that are right
on those roads, but they're concealed by landscaping so and they're not really noticeable. So it's
another option that maybe you might want to look at. I know that they are barely meeting the
parking requirement, so to have another parking space gone cut out way, do we want more
parking or a dumpster in a different location?
Commissioner Catmull said that spot in the upper right parking, I can't imagine someone parking
there they would have to be desperate.
Commissioner Gedge said guess the only concern I might have is having it that close to a water
source with the trash. Hopefully there's no seepage or leakage from the container. But that would
be an environmental concern, the proximity to a waterway.
Commissioner Hollist said there is also aneasement right there, So, it's really wedged in there.
Commissioner Gedge said just adding another layer on top of that, right? And then also you have
the canal road as well, and you're putting a closure where undesirables may use that after hours,
you know, for homelessness, or whatever it might be, just concerns with that location.
Chair Hollist said I can see it attracting unwanted dumping.
Commissioner Bevans said but take away a parking spot, like the applicant said, it could limit
their ability to fill those with the current applicants that they have. So I think with citing the
easement, this is probably the best spot for it, without causing undue burden on the applicants
and their development.
Commissioner Hollist asked the applicant to come to make sure he was ok with the 8 foot fence.
Max Bordahk said we already discussed it over a year ago for the entire property. So I think that
bodes well with with the garbage being back where it is, and Prrovide an additional buffer there
too.

Commissioner Hollist said are you also okay with the desire that we have for adequate pedestrian
access markings?
Max Bordahk said yes, we are.
Commissioner Bevans said I definitely appreciate the thoughtfulness that went into this site plan,
and I do appreciate you changing the drive throughs from being away from the residential
backyards, so that was a welcome change with this site plan.
Commissioner Gedge motioned to approve the Parkway Plaza, site plan, application, File
Number, PLSPR 202400072, noting the agreement that the perimeter fencing will be eight feet in
height and the discussion regarding appropriate pedestrian access and direction will be properly

H.3. MODERN & CHIC SITE PLAN APPLICATION
Address: 1750 W Shields Lane
File No: PLSPR202400187
Applicant: John Davis
Planner Miguel Aguilera reviewed background information on this item from the staff report.
Commissioner Gedge said n you just clarify the delivery types of vehicles that would be
accessing the once or twice per month? What types of vehicles.
Planner Aguilera said they are going to be carrier vehicles. They said they would not expect semi
trucks or large vehicles like that. But they probably answer more to what specific vehicles they
usually will expect.
Commissioner Gedge said for future meetings. Any arc meeting that's applicable to the items that
we are reviewing. Can we have Architectural Review Meeting Minutes included in our staff
packet?
Planner Schindler said yes, we can do that.
Commissioner Bevans said what's the fencing between this property and the daycare?
Planner Aguilera said so the this daycare site plan had a six foot tall vinyl fence on their site
plan. This site plan does not specify that they're going to provide their own fencing. In addition
to that, fencing from the daycare code does not require fencing to be between these two

properties, since they will be in the same zone, but but the Ever Brook site plan does say a six
foot vinyl fence.
Commissioner Gedge said what about the vehicular traffic along Shields Lane, right here, as
we're adding another property, and of course, with the expansion across on the south side with
Merritt medical, are there any concerns that we may make this property right in, right out, so
we're avoiding the conflicts. Especially, with the gas station right next to it and the daycare on
one side, and of course, Merit Medical on the other side. Are there any concerns, and will that be
evaluated by staff at a later date?
Assistant City Engineer Nielson said is, it is on our radar. We are watching it there. There have
not been any incidents to date that are concerning or that would have been mitigated with the
restricted access. But it is, it is something we'll be watching, because that access is close to
Redwood road. And so there may come a time where it will need to be restricted.
Commissioner Gedge said just as you're walking up and you'll introduce yourself to the before
us, what are the hours of operation?How many customers do you expect daily?
Christy Butler (Applicant) said currently in our current space we are open 9 to 3pm there's a
possibility of extended hours, maybe to 5 to 6pm in the evening. We have about eight employees
that would be working on the site daily. I don't know that I could accurately predict the amount
of retail traffic at this time.
Commissioner Bevans said is this like an actual retail store they can come in and shop, or is it
just a pickup after they order online?
Christ Butler said there is going to be a retail store so they can pick up online orders as well as
shop in store.
Commissioner Hollist opened the Public Hearing to comments. There were none. She closed the
Public Hearing.
Commissioner Gedge said I do like this fit here, because we have the daycare alongside that
we've approved is being built. We have a food slash gas establishment on the other side, and then
we have a retail in the middle. I think this is a great location for this type of use.
Commissioner Bevans said I have to admit, I did not know what this was. I'd never heard of this
company before this application came through and I did my Googling, and now my daughters
have an order coming to our house, so I think this will be wonderful, and it looks like it's a well
thought outside plan, and it'll be a good addition to our city.
Commissioner Gedge motioned to approve File No. PLSPR02400187 Modern & Chic Site Plan
Application. Commissioner Hollist seconded the motion; Roll Call Vote was 5 to 0 unanimous in
favor.
