SOUTH 5200 WEST FROM A (AGRICULTURE, MINIMUM LOT SIZE 1/2
ACRE) TO R-1-8 (SINGLE UNIT DWELLING RESIDENTIAL, MINIMUM

Steve Pastorik, CED Director, discussed proposed Ordinance 22-26 that would
amend the Zoning Map to Show a Change of Zone For Property Located at 3789 South
5200 West from A (Agriculture, Minimum Lot Size 1/2 Acre) to 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 that shows the subject property
being subdivided into 7 lots with 3 of the 7 being flag lots. The existing
home would remain on one of the lots. The average lot size is 12,063 square
feet including the stems of the flag lots and 11,280 square feet excluding
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – JUNE 21, 2022
-3-
the flag lots. While the 4 west lots all exceed 8,000 square feet in area, they
are all below the required minimum lot width of 80’. The applicant is
requesting a lot width exception in the development agreement for these 4
lots.
The applicant has submitted a development agreement proposal that is
summarized below:
The minimum house size for all ramblers will be 2,000 square feet.
For two story and multi-level homes, the minimum house size will
be 2,500 square feet for three lots and 3,000 square feet for the
other three lots.
No home will share the front elevation as another home.
All new homes will have a 3-car garage.
All new homes will have 9’ ceilings on the main level, two tone
paint, and quartz or granite countertops in kitchens and bathrooms.
Exterior walls will be constructed with 2” x 6” studs.
All new homes shall be meet the architectural requirements that
were in effect up until July of 2021 when the ordinance was
amended to comply with changes in state law.
ACTION: RESOLUTION 22-102, AUTHORIZE THE CITY TO ENTER
INTO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH ARCADIA SP, INC. FOR
APPROXIMATELY 1.93 ACRES OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT
APPROXIMATELY 3789 SOUTH 5200 WEST
Steve Pastorik, CED Director, discussed proposed Resolution 22-102 that would
authorize the City to Enter Into a Development Agreement With Arcadia SP, Inc. for
Approximately 1.93 Acres of Property Located at Approximately 3789 South 5200
West
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
Ken Milne with Arcadia SP, Inc. has submitted a zone change application
(Z-8-2022) on 1.93 acres to change the zoning from A (Agriculture,
minimum lot size ½ acre) to 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 City’s Zoning Ordinance requires that “All new Subdivisions involving
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – JUNE 21, 2022
-4-
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 grants a lot
width exception for four of the proposed lots and establishes standards for
the new homes.
Councilmember Huynh asked how short the frontage deficit is on the 4 lots fronting
5200 West. Steve replied approximately 10’. He indicated part of the reason for this
request is to keep the antique home on one of the lots and to make room for the flag
lot driveways. Councilmember Whetstone asked if the lot width reduction will have
to go to the Board of Adjustment. Steve replied no and indicated that the City
Council can authorize this by Development Agreement. Councilmember Harmon
asked if there was any public input at the Planning Commission level. Steve replied
no. Mayor Lang asked if the flag lot driveways are considered to be private streets.
Steve replied no and indicated that the driveways are privately owned as part of the
properties themselves. Councilmember Nordfelt asked if there is a large enough
setback between the homes fronting 5200 West and the flag lots. Steve replied that
he would confirm this with the applicant. He noted that the lots are deeper than the
average. Upon inquiry by Councilmember Harmon, Steve confirmed that there is
an ordinance in process that will ban public streets. He indicated that flag lots are
separate since the driveways are owned by the property owner. Councilmember
Harmon asked if a lane sharing agreement is needed. Steve replied that on the 2
flag lots to the South, the driveway will be 24 feet with each property owner owning
12 feet and all utilities will run separate along each individual 12’ driveway.
The City Council will consider Ordinance 22-26 and Resolution 22-102 at the
Regular Council Meeting scheduled July 5, 2022 at 6:30 P.M.
RESOLUTION 22-103: APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE RESIDENTIAL
SOLID WASTE COLLECTION, DISPOSAL, AND CURBSIDE RECYCLING
SERVICE BETWEEN WEST VALLEY CITY AND ACE DISPOSAL INC.
Dan Johnson, Public Works, presented proposed Resolution 22-103 that would approve
Amendment No. 2 to the Residential Solid Waste Collection, Disposal, and Curbside Recycling
Service Between West Valley City and Ace Disposal Inc.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
The City’s current agreement with Ace Disposal includes an automatic price
increase of 2.5% per year for residential solid waste collection, recycling, bulky
waste collection and the Neighborhood Dumpster Program to cover the increasing
cost of doing business. This past year has been fraught with inflation throughout
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – JUNE 21, 2022
-5-
multiple sectors in the economy, with the United States Consumer Price Index up
by over 8% from last year. Ace has reported operating costs increasing nearly 10%.
Ace has made a request to the City for a price increase of an additional 2.5% to
cover some of their costs. It is estimated that this increase will cost the City
approximately an additional $76,000.
The Sanitation Fund is currently operating in a deficit (annual expenditures exceed
annual revenue), which is depleting the fund balance. These additional costs can
be absorbed for a limited time by the Sanitation Fund balance. A fee increase, or a
service reduction will need to be implemented within the next year or two.
Mayor Lang asked if the additional 2.5% increase is a one-time increase. Dan replied yes
and noted that the contract would increase next year at its usual 2.5% instead of the 5%
adjustment being recommended this year.
The City Council will consider Resolution 22-103 at the Regular Council Meeting
scheduled June 28, 2022 at 6:30 P.M.
RESOLUTION 22-104: APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF GARBAGE CANS
FROM WASTEQUIP
Dan Johnson, Public Works, presented proposed Resolution 22-104 that would approve the
Purchase of Garbage Cans from Wastequip.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
The Sanitation Division regularly purchases new garbage cans to satisfy demand
from customers for new cans, additional can requests and the replacement of
damaged cans.
The pricing is based upon a bid awarded to other governmental entities and the
containers are procured through OMNIA Partners a national purchasing
organization. The bids obtained through this organization enable the city to
benefit from very competitively priced bids from another government agency,
satisfying the city’s procurement requirements.
This resolution authorizes the purchase of 1,908 garbage containers. Due to
expected long delivery periods there are two versions of the garbage cans being
ordered. The Sanitation Division normally purchases cans in smaller numbers at
various times during the year. Due to anticipated price increases more cans are
being purchased earlier at the current price levels.
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – JUNE 21, 2022

Councilmember Whetstone asked what happens to cans after they are damaged. Dan
replied they are fixed as much as possible but when they live out their life expectancy,
they are recycled.
The City Council will consider Resolution 22-104 at the Regular Council Meeting
scheduled June 28, 2022 at 6:30 P.M.
CONSENT AGENDA SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 28, 2022
A. RESOLUTION 22-105: AUTHORIZE THE CITY TO ABANDON A
PORTION OF A STORM DRAIN EASEMENT LOCATED AT 5468 SOUTH
5600 WEST
Nicole Cottle discussed proposed Resolution 22-105 that would authorize the City
to Abandon a Portion of a Storm Drain Easement Located at 5468 South 5600 West.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
In 1986 a storm drain easement was recorded in favor of Salt Lake County
across property located south of 5400 South on the west side of 5600 West.
As there are no existing storm drain facilities located on property within this
specific easement, the property owner has requested this easement be
abandoned by West Valley City.
Carpe Diem Auctum LLC is the owner of property located at 5468 South
5600 West, parcel 20-14-231-024 and the site of the proposed Carpe Diem
Auctum Subdivision. The above referenced storm drain easement was
recorded in favor of Salt Lake County prior to the Smith’s Annexation in
1995 by West Valley City. After the annexation of property West Valley
City became the successor in interest to Salt Lake County. As the easement
is no longer necessary, an Abandonment of a Portion of a Storm Drain
Easement document has been prepared for approval by the West Valley City
Council and execution by the mayor. There is another 15-foot wide storm
drain easement which runs slightly east and parallel with the easement being
abandoned. That easement will remain.

COMMUNICATIONS
A. BANGERTER HIGHWAY UPDATE
Alex Fisher-Willis, UDOT presented a PowerPoint presentation summarized as
follows:
- 4700 South Project Update
o Right-of-way is currently underway
12/18 of the offers have been signed
o West Valley and Taylorsville are still deciding whether to move
forward with an over/under/hybrid design
o Anticipated timeline
Now through Fall 2022
Decide on a vertical alignment
Clear all ROW and begin home demolitions
Out to bid for construction
Refine the design
Spring-Summer 2023
Relocation of the aqueduct
Nov/Dec 2023
Aqueduct switchover (old to new system)
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – JUNE 21, 2022
-12-
2024
Begin construction of the new intersection
- 4100 South to California Avenue (State Environmental Study)
o We are studying Bangerter Highway from 4100 South to
California Avenue
During this study we will:
Gather information and community feedback and
assess the best solutions for the community
Take into consideration the West Valley City
resolution 21-205 passed in December 2021, to
utilize frontage roads from 4100 South to
California Avenue
Traffic is expected to double by 2050.
2021: 60,000 cars per day
2050: 120,000 cars per day
Without improvements delays could increase by nearly
4 times the current conditions
o Study Goals
Convert all at-grade intersections on Bangerter Highway
to grade-separated interchanges or other freeway-like
solutions
Enhance safety
Improve travel times and increase mobility (north and
south on Bangerter, and east/west on city cross streets)
When complete, 20-minute reduction in travel time
between Draper and the Salt Lake City Airport
o Unique Elements
We have several unique elements to consider when
evaluating improvements to Bangerter.
Along with many homes and businesses along the
highway there’s also:
A pedestrian bridge at 4100 South and 3100
South
A major water line under the highway
A golf course
Railroad tracks
A large high school
A busy hospital
o Intersection Distances
We are evaluating all options, including the study WVC
conducted for frontage roads.
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – JUNE 21, 2022
-13-
The stretch of Bangerter between 4100 South and
California Avenue is unique, because the intersections
are closer together than they were at other locations
farther south
Typically, a freeway has on- and off-ramps spaced no
closer than a mile apart, but here, we’re working with
much less room which is why a frontage road system is
being considered
o Potential Improvements
Here is an example of what a frontage road system could
look like for Bangerter Highway
We’re studying not only traditional interchanges like
we’ve done before, but we’re also looking at other
options, like a frontage road system, to better work with
the proximity of each intersection
More details and possible options will be developed
throughout this study process
Each option will be evaluated for how well it
helps traffic flow,
Also, for the types and quantities of impacts that
would occur to the surrounding environment
Engineering feasibility and cost to build each
option is taken into consideration before a final
decision is made
o Schedule
o Public Scoping Meetings
We need the community to help our team to better
understand the area
Talk to the team and let us know what is
important to them in this area.
Residents and business owners are encouraged to join us
at one of the upcoming public scoping opportunities at
Granger High School
There is an online video that will be available in both
English and Spanish for those who cannot attend in
person
We will be accepting public comments through the end
of July.

Mayor Lang asked if the decision for an underpass or overpass has been made at
4700 South. Ms. Fisher-Willis replied no and indicated that this is still being
discussed as funding costs are evaluated. Mayor Lang clarified that pedestrian
walkways won’t be needed for underpasses. Ms. Fisher-Willis replied that this
would be correct but noted that as environmental studies are being conducted, the
water table may prevent underpasses north of 4700 South. Mayor Lang asked how
the mailers are being sent out. Ms. Fisher-Willis displayed a map that shows the
mailing boundary and noted that mailers have been sent to over 5,000 residents in
both English and Spanish.
The Mayor and Council had no further questions or concerns.

Mayor Lang asked if GCR will do another tire recycling event in the future. Dan
replied he believes they will. Mayor Lang asked how much the service fee would
need to be raised for the City to stay out of deficit. Dan replied staff could conduct
a study and report back to the Council. Mayor Lang asked if ACE was the only
provider to respond to the City’s last bid. Dan replied both ACE and Republic. He
noted that Waste Management did not submit. Dan added that ACE is a local
company and is happy to serve West Valley City. Councilmember Nordfelt asked
how soon ACE would need to report the recycling data as required by the
Legislature. Dan replied it would be about a year from now. Councilmember
Whetstone asked when the next shred event will be held. Dan replied next spring.
Mayor Lang asked how many ACE trucks service West Valley City. Dan replied
that he will look into this. Upon inquiry by Mayor Lang, Dan indicated that the
electric garbage truck was purchased by a Federal grant so it’s unlikely ACE will
be able to fully service West Valley City that way for some time. Councilmember
Nordfelt asked how waste is taken to the landfill. Dan replied it is taken via a
densely loaded semi-truck.
The Mayor and Council had no further questions or concerns.
C. FRAUD RISK ASSESSEMENT
Jim Welch presented the Council with the Fraud Risk Assessment that is required
every year. He detailed why the assessment is required by the State Auditors and
noted the primary purpose is to reduce the misuse of public funds and decrease the
possibility of fraud. He detailed the list of questions addressed by the assessment
and detailed how the City accomplishes each goal. Upon inquiry by Mayor Lang,
Jim explained how cash is handled at facilities like the Animal Shelter or Fitness
Center. He noted that there are always multiple levels of review and a cash receipt
is reported each day to ensure all accounts are balanced appropriately. He stated
how cash is processed and transferred to the bank.
D. COUNCIL CALENDAR
Mayor Lang referenced a Memorandum previously received from the City Manager
that outlined upcoming meetings and events.

A. POTENTIAL FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
Councilmember Huynh stated that he received the memo from Wayne Pyle
regarding the Maverik Center. He stated that he appreciated the information and
indicated that he would like to know what percentage the City shares in ownership
for the Maverik Center. He stated that it’s important to keep the Maverik Center as
an icon and he would not like to see it become a “swap meet” or open market but
would still like to look at selling to an appropriate buyer. He suggested contacting
Elon Musk to see if he would be interested in using the space for a unique and
special purpose.
Councilmember Harmon stated that he is still waiting for two responses related to
the KPI conversation.
Councilmember Whetstone asked if he could be provided with the resolution and
information that the Council voted on in 2020 related to Bangerter Highway.
Councilmember Harmon requested that information as well.

RESOLUTION 22-04: APPROVE AN INCENTIVE AGREEMENT WITH
GODFREY WEST INVESTORS, LLC
Jeff Jackson, Economic Development, presented proposed Resolution 22-04 that
would approve an Incentive Agreement with Godfrey West Investors, LLC
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
Godfrey West Investors, LLC (GWI), a partnership between Scott
Godfrey of Godfrey Trucking and Sansone Development, would like to
develop a new industrial park to meet the high demand for fulfillment. The
area of interest is a 38.7-acre property within the Northwest Economic
Development Area located at 6941 S. 2100 S.
The TIF incentive will help offset the high costs of remediating
compatible soils, constructing offsite water lines, and making substantial
upgrades to the entire power grid as Rocky Mountain Power requires.
The development will include two sizable industrial buildings with a total
square footage of 603,175. Building 1 is 314,175 SF. Building 2 will be
289,000 SF. The capital investment of the core and shell alone totals
$36,469,000. Additional tenant improvements for new tenants down the
road will amount to an additional investment of $15-20M.
The amount of TIF generated by this project is $3,532,033. The incentive
is subject to GWI meeting the performance terms of the agreement and
totals $700,000, which is 20% of the total TIF generated by the project.
Councilmember Harmon stated he sees 20%. Jeff replied it’s 19.8%.
The Mayor and Council had no further questions or concerns.
