PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD
Jim Vesock gave special recognition to Vicki Jeppson, who retired after over 25 years with
the police department, highlighting her contributions as a visible and dedicated city
representative at events like National Night Out. He also discussed the city's budget,
praising Jim and his team for presenting clear and accessible information. Mr.Vesock
suggested adding brief explanations for terms like CIP and other funds to improve public
understanding. He supported planned expenditures, such as the purchase of fire trucks, and
noted he had no significant issues with the current budget proposal.
Barry Gittleman, President of Hamlet Homes, addressed the council regarding the Weston
Field development project at 4100 South and 6800 West. He highlighted the project's
success, including its first phase of development, the model home’s participation in the
2024 Salt Lake County Parade of Homes, and the positive reception it received. Mr.
Gittleman stated he would like to update the 2021 development agreement, which he noted
was created under different economic and housing market conditions. He stated that while
the overall project plan remains unchanged—58 large, high-quality homes—he proposed
adjustments to make the homes more affordable, ranging from $700,000 to over $1 million,
without compromising quality or lot size. He emphasized aligning with the city’s values of
unity, pride, and progress, expressing a willingness to collaborate on changes that benefit
West Valley City while maintaining the integrity of the development.
Mike Markham began by addressing attendance, noting the absence of some council
members and urging stronger participation. He highlighted a logistical issue with receiving
a notice in his utility billing regarding Christmas tree disposal after the deadline had passed.
He also reported offensive graffiti at the northwest corner of 4100 South and Redwood
Road, near the CVS. Mr. Markham encouraged the council to revisit discussions from the
January 2024 meeting concerning code enforcement. Specifically, he pointed out
inconsistencies, such as allowing vine-like weeds with damaging stickers while enforcing
height limits for other weeds.

Paul Sellers shared his frustration after receiving a citation for parking his trailer in front
of his home for repairs, which he asserts only lasted 35 hours, exceeding the 24-hour limit
stated in city ordinances. He argued that it is unreasonable for someone in his health and
age to complete necessary trailer repairs and winterization within 24 hours, especially
given the lack of daylight hours. Mr. Sellers pointed out contradictions between city codes:
one allows 72 hours for parking, while another restricts recreational vehicle parking to 24
hours unless it is related to property repairs, which can take up to seven days. Mr. Sellers
highlighted inefficiencies in parking enforcement, claiming that officers rely on complaints
and may issue citations without verifying parking durations. He proposed amending the
ordinance to allow extended parking for specific situations, such as repairs, suggesting a
system where residents could request parking extensions through the city website and
display an approval voucher. He called for greater flexibility and common sense in
addressing parking regulations.

Mayor Pro Tem Nordfelt presented proposed Resolution 25-03 that would authorize the

Acres of Property Located at Approximately 7035-7055 West Gates Avenue.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
The City Council approved zone changes and a development agreement on property
at 7035-7055 West Gates Avenue back in 2021 to facilitate the construction of a
new office building along with storage. The landowners have since encountered
financial difficulties and now need to sell the property. The potential buyer is
interested in using the property to store modular buildings like construction trailers.
While the existing development agreement allowed outside storage, it also required
that the proposed office building be constructed on the property.
The proposed new development agreement would replace the prior agreement. The
changes are summarized below:
The proposed agreement allows the existing home on the west side of the
property to remain and be used as an office while the existing agreement
requires that the home be demolished.
The proposed agreement adds a provision that requires the installation of
off-site improvements before any use of the property.
The proposed agreement requires all existing structures except the home
mentioned above to be demolished before any use of the property. The
existing agreement allows the outbuildings to remain if they can be
modified to meet setbacks.
MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 14, 2025

setbacks if the zoning and use of the property to the east and/or west are
changed to commercial or industrial.

construction of a new office building.

of the City Council, and he called for a motion.
Councilmember Huynh moved to approve Resolution 25-03.
Councilmember Whetstone seconded the motion.

noted that this is probably better than nothing happening on this property.

it for further development in the future.

MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 14, 2025

signals, street lighting, streetscape, and drainage improvements. In addition, the
Public Works department has decided to add a regional underground storm drain
detention facility to this project to accommodate drainage capacity needs for the
neighborhoods south of Lancer Way. The detention facility will be located under
the west parking lot of City Hall.

project estimate is $10,967,776. Most of the project will be funded with federal

The execution of this agreement will enable the project to be awarded for
construction through the UDOT procurement process. It is anticipated that
construction will begin in early 2025.
