ACTION: RESOLUTION NO. 21-93, AUTHORIZE THE CITY TO ENTER INTO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH DAI PARTNERS, LLC FOR APPROXIMATELY 16.05 ACRES OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT APPROXIMATELY 2892 SOUTH DECKER LAKE DRIVE Steve Pastorik, CED Director, discussed proposed Resolution 21-93 that would authorize the City to enter into a Development Agreement with DAI Partners, LLC for approximately 16.05 acres of property located at approximately 2892 South Decker Lake Drive. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: Joe Salisbury has submitted a General Plan/zone change application (GPZ- 3-2020) on 16.05 acres to change the zoning from A (Agriculture, minimum lot size ½ acre) and M (Manufacturing) to RM (Multiple Unit Dwelling Residential) and to change the General Plan from Commercial/Light Manufacturing to High Density Residential (12 to 20 units/acre). The Planning Commission recommended approval of the General Plan/zone MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – JUNE 8, 2021 -5- change subject to a development agreement. The proposed development agreement addresses the following topics:  Number, mix, and size of units  Architecture  Interior finishes and features  Project amenities  Management standards  A commitment to contribute $540,000 for improvements in a neighboring park  Multi-unit residential design standards from City Code Councilmember Christensen stated that he met with the developer at his request and was told that the stacked units were not separately rentable but could be used as a mother-in-law apartment. Steve replied that he would get further clarification. Councilmember Buhler stated that he feels this is an exciting project and he would like to live here, especially if he had a young family. He indicated that there is nothing similar to this in the City, would help clean up this particular property, and is in a good location in relation to transit. Councilmember Buhler added that he would hope that this would spur reinvestment in the area. Councilwoman Lang stated that she isn’t comfortable with rental only but noted that she is happy with the proposed parking standards versus other projects. Mayor Bigelow stated that he feels the apartment units will end up being converted to duplexes which seems to be a significant trend in West Valley City and neighboring communities. He expressed concern about heading in that direction. Councilmember Buhler stated that he feels they are designed and built to be smaller or larger apartments and can function as either. He indicated he would rather see this type of housing in an area that meets the requirements and can accommodate the infrastructure. The City Council will consider Ordinances 21-36 and 21-37 and Resolution 21-93 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled June 22, 2021 at 6:30 P.M. B. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING Z-2-2021, FILED BY NORTHROP GRUMMAN INNOVATION SYSTEMS LLC, REQUESTING A ZONE CHANGE FROM A (AGRICULTURE, MINIMUM LOT SIZE 1/2 ACRE) TO RE (RESIDENTIAL ESTATE) AND R-1-8 (SINGLE UNIT DWELLING RESIDENTIAL, MINIMUM LOT SIZE 8,000 SQUARE FEET) FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6865 WEST 4100 SOUTH Mayor Bigelow informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular Council Meeting scheduled June 22, 2021, in order for the City Council to hear and MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – JUNE 8, 2021 -6- consider public comments regarding application Z-2-2021, filed by Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems LLC, requesting a Zone Change from A (Agriculture, Minimum Lot Size 1/2 Acre) to RE (Residential Estate) and R-1-8 (Single Unit Dwelling Residential, Minimum Lot Size 8,000 Square Feet) for property located at 6865 West 4100 South. Proposed Ordinances 21-38 and Resolution 21-94 related to the proposal to be considered by the City Council subsequent to the public hearing, was discussed as follows: ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 21-38, AMEND THE ZONING MAP TO SHOW A CHANGE OF ZONE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6865 WEST 4100 SOUTH FROM A (AGRICULTURE, MINIMUM LOT SIZE 1/2 ACRE) TO RE (RESIDENTIAL ESTATE) AND R-1-8 (SINGLE UNIT DWELLING RESIDENTIAL, MINIMUM LOT SIZE 8,000 SQUARE FEET) Steve Pastorik, CED Director, discussed proposed Ordinance 21-38 that would amend the Zoning Map to show a change of Zone for property located at 6865 West 4100 South from A (Agriculture, Minimum Lot Size 1/2 Acre) to RE (Residential Estate) and R-1-8 (Single Unit Dwelling Residential, Minimum Lot Size 8,000 Square Feet). Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: The applicant has submitted a concept plan, which is attached, that shows the subject property together with about 11.7 acres to the east that is zoned R-1-8 being subdivided into 58 lots yielding an overall density of 3 units/acre. The request for R-1-8 zoning is only for 2’ wide strip of land running about 518’ north to south. The requested zone on the balance of the subject property is RE. Existing fencing along the east edge of the proposed subdivision is encroaching onto Northrop Grumman’s property. The 2’ of R-1-8 zoning would allow the developer to keep existing fencing along the east edge of the subdivision where it is. ACTION: RESOLUTION NO. 21-94, AUTHORIZE THE CITY TO ENTER INTO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH WEST VALLEY 22 LLC FOR APPROXIMATELY 19.3 ACRES OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT APPROXIMATELY 6865 WEST 4100 SOUTH Steve Pastorik, CED Director, discussed proposed Resolution 21-94 that would authorize the City to enter into a Development Agreement with West Valley 22 LLC MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – JUNE 8, 2021 -7- for approximately 19.3 acres of property located at approximately 6865 West 4100 South. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: Northrop Grumman Innovations Systems, LLC has submitted a zone change application (Z-2-2021) on 7.6 acres to change the zoning from A (agriculture, minimum lot size ½ acre) to RE (Residential Estate) and R-1-8 (Single Unit Dwelling Residential, minimum lot size 8,000 square feet). The Planning Commission recommended approval of the zone change subject to a development agreement. The development agreement is with Northrop’s agent, West Valley 22 LLC. The City’s Zoning Ordinance requires that “All new Subdivisions involving a rezone of property, or a PUD, shall participate in a Development Agreement that addresses housing size, quality, exterior finish materials, Streetscapes, Landscaping, etc.” The development agreement states that the applicant will follow the City’s design standards. The agreement also addresses fencing along 4100 South, a rear yard setback reduction, and right-of-way dedication along 4100 South. Mayor Bigelow verified which properties have exceptions applied in both setbacks and zoning. Councilmember Nordfelt stated that he feels this is a good development. He indicated that the City would get more RE properties and new standards, including house size and materials, would apply to the properties zoned R-1-8. Councilmember Nordfelt suggested requiring a sound-proof wall to buffer the railroad tracks from the homes. Councilmember Christensen asked if this is in the overpressure zone. Steve replied yes and noted that those homes would need to meet standards of that zone as well. Councilmember Lang asked if minimum house size is the same as both zones. Steve replied yes. Councilmember Fitisemanu clarified that the residents will be notified of the proximity to the railroad. Steve replied that there is nothing in the Code but this can be placed on the plat if the developer is amenable to that. Councilmember Fitisemanu asked what a sound barrier wall would like in this area. Steve replied that there is no height called out for a sound barrier wall and it often is dependent on the type of facility in the area. He indicated that it could take some further looking into to see what’s needed and whether it would be effective. Councilmember Buhler stated that he would like to see a requirement always be noted on the plat for this. He indicated a large wall can impact the sunlight. Councilmember Lang stated she would like to see that this is on the deed so when property is sold it’s noted. She added that she would like to MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – JUNE 8, 2021 -8- see a fence that is not climbable for the safety of children. Councilmember Lang stated that she would like the overpressure zone and railroad be noted on the plat and the requirement of the non-climbable fence. Councilmember Buhler stated that he wouldn’t make it a requirement for a block fence. Mayor Bigelow asked where the nearest park is in this area and asked how developable portions of the project are due to the railroad tracks. Steve replied Falcon Crest Park is the nearest park and it is located further to the north. Steve explained how the stub street would work and noted that property in this area will remain zoned A. Councilmember Huynh verified that traffic is not a concern in this area. Steve replied traffic volumes are less in this area than they are further east. The City Council will consider Ordinance 21-38 and Resolution 21-94 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled June 22, 2021 at 6:30 P.M. RESOLUTION 21-95: APPROVE AN AGREEMENT FOR THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF A NEW FILTRATION SYSTEM FOR SECONDARY WATER AT THE RIDGE GOLF COURSE Nancy Day, Parks and Recreation Director, presented proposed Resolution 21-95 that would approve an Agreement for the purchase and installation of a new filtration system for secondary water at the Ridge Golf Course. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: The Ridge Golf Club is in need of a new filtration system for its secondary water supply. This system is of utmost importance as, without it, the course would not receive the necessary water and the turf as well as other plants would perish. Flowtech has been selected as a single source contractor for this project as they installed and repair the current pump station and would need to be hired to program the new system into the existing software. The Ridge Golf Club is in need of a new filtration system for the secondary irrigation. The current system is failing quickly and without quick action there will soon be a loss of turf in numerous areas of the course. This is particularly critical moving into the warmer months. The new system is $98,000 and will be funded with the existing budget. We anticipate receiving some funds for the sale of a surplus filter that cannot be used with the new system. Flowtech has been selected as a single source contractor for this project as outlined above. The City Council will consider Resolution 21-95 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled June 22, 2021 at 6:30 P.M. MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – JUNE 8, 2021 -9- CONSIDER APPLICATION SMI-2-2021, FILED BY SCOTT THORSEN, REQUESTING FINAL PLAT APPROVAL FOR THE LEE CREEK SUBDIVISION LOCATED AT 5993 WEST SR-201 SOUTH FRONTAGE ROAD Steve Lehman, CED, presented application SMI-2-2021, filed by Scott Thorsen, requesting Final Plat Approval for the Lee Creek Subdivision located at 5993 West SR-201 South Frontage Road. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: Scott Thorsen, representing the property owner is requesting final plat approval for the Lee Creek Subdivision. The subject property is located at approximately 5993 West SR-201 South Frontage Road. It is bordered on all sides with property zoned for manufacturing uses. The proposed subdivision is being requested in order to create 2 lots on 32 acres. Lot 1 will be approximately 20 acres in size with lot 2 being approximately 12 acres in size. The land use proposed for both lots is office/warehouse. The name Lee Creek is derived from a creek that extends north from the Riter Canal. This creek actually crosses 2 other properties, one being the Godfrey West Subdivision to the south. The creek will remain in its current location and matters associated with wetlands or flood plain do not appear to affect future building placement on either lot within the subdivision. Access to the subdivision will be gained by 5900 West. This right-of-way was constructed by the Utah Department of Transportation and replaces a portion of the old SR-201 South Frontage Road that now terminates just east of Godfrey Trucking. This new right-of-way curves to the south in front of the proposed subdivision and then intersects at 2400 South. At 2400 South, vehicles could go east over the Mountain View Corridor or south on 5900 West which provides access to vacant property and the Godfrey West Subdivision reviewed by the City Council a few months back. At the south boundary of the Godfrey West Subdivision, 5900 West will make a connection with Beagley Road which then heads west providing access to a number of large office/warehouse developments and eventually ends up at 7200 West. The road that UDOT constructed does not have formal improvements on either side. As a condition of approval for the subdivision, the City will require curb, gutter and sidewalk along the west right-of-way of said road. The City does not anticipate this road being dedicated at the present time. MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – JUNE 8, 2021 -10- As mentioned earlier, the subdivision is traversed by Lee Creek. Future buildings within the subdivision will be subject to FEMA Flood Zone requirements. The developer is working with the Engineering Division and Salt Lake County to resolve and establish guidelines related to those issues. In addition, portions of the subdivision are located in a perceived wetland area. Studies will need to be done with the Army Corps of Engineers to determine if these wetlands are jurisdictional. The City Council will consider Application SMI-2-2021 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled June 22, 2021 at 6:30 P.M. CONSENT AGENDA SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 22 , 2021 A. RESOLUTION 21-96: AUTHORIZE THE CITY TO ACCEPT A QUITCLAIM DEED FROM BRIGHTON CANAL COMPANY, LLC Russ Willardson, Public Works Director, discussed proposed Resolution 21-96 that would authorize the City to accept a QuitClaim Deed from Brighton Canal Company, LLC. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: The Brighton Canal Company has determined it will no longer operate the canal north of the Kearns-Chesterfield Drain (approximately 2700 S) beyond this irrigation season. The canal company has offered to deed the canal easement to the City. The attached map shows the location of the easement to be deeded to the City. The canal easement area has become overgrown in many areas which presents a nuisance for illegal camping and nefarious activity. Acceptance of the Quit-Claim Deed gives the City options to manage the easement area. The area could be used to construct a recreational trail. Or the City could facilitate release of the easement to the adjacent property owners for development or appropriate maintenance. B.
