COMMENT PERIOD
A. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Paul Nichols stated that he is concerned about his neighbors not maintaining gravel
in their driveway.
Jim Vesock stated that there are lot of pop-up yard sales throughout the City over
the weekends. He indicated that it doesn’t look great for the City and there should
be more enforcement.
Mike Markham stated that there is a semi-tractor being rebuilt in the driveway of a
neighbor’s home, a home that is operating a repair shop, several homes with
landscaping yard violations, and homes with debris. He indicated that he would like
to see Code Enforcement out enforcing these issues. Mr. Markham stated that he
doesn’t believe parking enforcement is doing their job. He indicated that there was
a trailer parked in the street with debris that sat there for 3 weeks.
Sarah Hedsor stated that Governor Cox declared a state of emergency due to the
drought. She indicated that she and her neighbors have received violations for not
watering lawns. Ms. Hedsor stated that she has stopped watering her lawn to
conserve and noted that she eventually would like to do a localscape. She noted that
she believes the City ordinances are out of date and water is needed to survive.
B. CITY MANAGER COMMENTS
Wayne Pyle, City Manager, stated that the work has begun on the next phase of
2700 West. He also noted that the new Mountain America building opened on 3500
South.
B. CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
Mayor Bigelow noted that the City recognizes the current drought situation and is
lenient on dry or yellow grass. He indicated that it is still important to ensure yards
stay alive and there is a difference between dead landscaping and dry landscaping.
Councilmember Fitisemanu suggested further communication from the City to
residents on what is acceptable and what isn’t. Wayne indicated that information
has been shared via the website and social media pages. He indicated that the
Governor’s message was to be water-wise but this doesn’t mean that yards should
be unmaintained and left to die. Wayne noted that the City’s enforcement and
ordinances are trying to find a balance between conservation and keeping yards
from dying. He indicated that the City will work with residents and can give them
additional time to bring their landscaping back into compliance. Wayne stated that
it’s difficult to find a balance and noted that, as demonstrated in public comment

PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. ACCEPT PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING APPLICATION GPZ-13-
2021, FILED BY BRIAN PITCHER, REQUESTING A GENERAL PLAN
CHANGE FROM LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (3 TO 4 UNITS/ACRE)
TO LIGHT MANUFACTURING AND A ZONE CHANGE FROM R-1-8
(SINGLE UNIT DWELLING RESIDENTIAL, MINIMUM LOT SIZE 8,000
SQUARE FEET) TO M (MANUFACTURING) FOR PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 4312 SOUTH 4000 WEST AND 4270 SOUTH 4060 WEST
Mayor Bigelow informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular
Council Meeting scheduled August 24, 2021, in order for the City Council to hear
and consider public comments regarding application GPZ-13-2021,filed by Brian
Pitcher, requesting a General Plan Change from Low Density Residential (3 to 4
Units/Acre) to Light Manufacturing and a Zone Change from R-1-8 (Single Unit
Dwelling Residential, Minimum Lot Size 8,000 Square Feet) to M (Manufacturing) for
Property Located at 4312 South 4000 West and 4270 South 4060 West.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
The subject property includes a triplex, a 12-unit mobile home park, and 12
storage units. According to County Assessor records, the triplex was built
in 1950, the mobile home park was built in 1960, and the storage units were
built in 1962. Zoning was first adopted in this area in 1965, so no zoning
was in place at the time the existing uses were constructed. None of the
existing uses conform with the existing R-1-8 zone.
The applicant is requesting the M zone to redevelop the property into
storage units, which are referred to as self-storage facilities in the ordinance.
The M zone is the only zone that allows self-storage facilities.
Mayor Bigelow opened the Public Hearing.
Brian Pitcher, the applicant, stated that he has a lot of experience in the real estate
industry. He indicated that he works to improve everything that he owns. Mr.
Pitcher indicated that the property is run-down and is non-conforming as it is. He
stated that he feels the storage unit would clean up the area, provide less traffic, add
security cameras, and encourage people throughout the City to clear out garages
and install items at a financially fair location such as this. He indicated he is trying
to improve the property and noted that it would improve the tax base.

Pat Sherzinger that she has lived in her home for 44 years and she and her husband
have worked to improve the house itself and the lot. She detailed the history of the
area and expressed concern about the large proposed building obstructing her view,
criminal activities, and traffic. Ms. Sherzinger indicated that this is not a good use
for the property and noted that the people living there are trying to find their way
to a better life.
Councilmember Buhler left at 7:23 PM.
Clint Webber stated that he agrees with the concerns expressed by Ms. Sherzinger.
He noted that he wants to see improvement but is unsure what that might entail. He
indicated that this may not be a bad proposal as long as it is well maintained.
Mayor Bigelow closed the Public Hearing.
ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 21-51, AMEND THE GENERAL PLAN FROM
LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (3 TO 4 UNITS/ACRE) TO LIGHT
MANUFACTURING FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4312 SOUTH 4000
WEST AND 4270 SOUTH 4060 WEST
The City Council previously held a public hearing regarding proposed Ordinance
21-51 that would amend the General Plan to show a change of land use from low
density residential (3 to 4 Units/Acre) to light manufacturing for property located
at 4312 South 4000 West and 4270 South 4060 West.
Councilmember Fitisemanu that he doesn’t believe this is a bad development but
stated that he doesn’t know that it’s a good fit for this particular property. He noted
that he feels other properties can be assembled in the future for a use that is better
suited to the neighborhood.
Upon inquiry by Mayor Bigelow there were no further questions from members of
the City Council, and he called for a motion.
Councilmember Fitisemanu moved to deny Ordinance 21-51.
Councilmember Lang seconded the motion.
Councilmember Nordfelt stated that he knows this area well and delivered
newspapers here as a child. He indicated that not much has changed in those 40
years and he doesn’t feel that much will change in the next 50 years either.
Councilmember Nordfelt stated that he believes this storage facility may be an
improvement and could really clean up the property for the neighbors around it. He
MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 24, 2021

stated that there are security cameras and gates and there is not a lot of traffic
generated from this use.
Councilmember Christensen stated that this is a property that has deteriorated over
the years. He indicated that the trailers here do not provide a good living
environment and illegal and unsafe transactions have occurred at this site in the
past. Councilmember Christensen stated that he believes the developer has a better
vision for the property and he is in favor of improving the community. He noted
that the developer plans to work with families to find better housing and ignoring
the issue and hoping it will improve doesn’t seem to be a good solution.
Councilmember Lang agreed that this property needs to be cleaned but noted that
she doesn’t feel this is the right and best use for the property. She indicated that she
would like to see something more neighborhood friendly and added that this type
of development lasts for over 50 years so whatever is approved here now will not
change any time soon. She indicate that she spoke to residents living next to storage
facilities in other locations and they do not like living near them. She indicated that
she was told there are illegal activities that occur among other concerns.
Councilmember Lang stated that she feels it would be in the best interest of the City
to hold out on changing this property for a little bit longer to allow something more
suited to the neighborhood to develop.
Mayor Bigelow stated that the City has no control over how a property develops
until someone comes to them with a proposal.

Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
An application (GPZ-13-2021) was submitted by Brian Pitcher on 1.81
acres to change the zoning from R-1-8 (Single Unit Dwelling Residential,
minimum lot size 8,000 square feet) to M (Manufacturing) and to change
the General Plan from Low Density Residential (3 to 4 units/acre) to Light
Manufacturing. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the
General Plan/zone change application subject to a development agreement.
The development agreement includes the following provisions:
With the exception of the property line along 4000 West, buildings
may be placed at the property line. Along 4000 West, the
minimum required building setback shall apply.
The maximum building height at the property line shall be 12’.
The only use allowed on the property shall be a self-storage
facility.
The first provision grants a setback exception and allows the storage
buildings to be built along the property lines of adjoining residential
properties as has been done on other self-storage projects. The other two
provisions are protections for the neighboring residential properties to
limit the building height and prevent other M zone uses that could conflict
with residential.

line, the Public Works Department asked the District to include the removal of the
rest of the bridge with their project, along with some miscellaneous drainage work
associated with the bridge removal. As part of the work, the road will also be
reconstructed and restored in the area impacted by the bridge removal.
