PUBLIC HEARINGS SCHEDULED FOR MAY 16, 2023
A. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION SA-1-2023,
FILED BY CHRIS TOMADAKIS, REQUESTING FINAL PLAT
APPROVAL FOR THE TOMADAKIS SUBDIVISION- AMENDING LOT 1
PHEASANT PARK AND LOTS 214 HUNTER HILLS NO. 2
SUBDIVISIONS
Mayor Lang informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular Council
Meeting scheduled May 16, 2023, in order for the City Council to hear and consider
public comments regarding Application SA-1-2023, Filed by Chris Tomadakis,
Requesting Final Plat Approval for the Tomadakis Subdivision- Amending Lot 1
Pheasant Park and Lots 214 Hunter Hills No. 2 Subdivisions.
Proposed Ordinance 23-11 related to the proposal to be considered by the City
Council subsequent to the public hearing, was discussed as follows:
ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 23-11, APPROVE THE AMENDMENT OF LOT
1 PHEASANT PARK AND LOT 214 HUNTER HILLS NO. 2 SUBDIVISIONS
Steve Lehman, CED, discussed proposed Ordinance 23-11 that would approve the
Amendment of Lot 1 Pheasant Park and Lot 214 Hunter Hills No. 2 Subdivisions
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
Mr. Chris Tomadakis, is requesting final plat approval and an amendment
to lot 1 Pheasant Park and lot 214 Hunter Hills No. 2 Subdivisions. The
purpose for the plat amendment is to adjust the common property line
between the two lots. No new lots will be created from this application.
This type of request would previously have been allowed by lot line
adjustment reviewed by staff only. However, in 2021, State Law changed
requiring a plat amendment.
Mr. Tomadakis who owns both properties, would like to adjust the existing
property line to provide more useable space for the dwelling at 5203 West
Holder Drive. This application is unique in that it will amend lots in two
different subdivisions. The Pheasant Park Subdivision is zoned R-1-8, and
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – MAY 9, 2023
-3-
the Hunter Hills No. 2 Subdivision is zoned R-1-7. Both lots meet and
exceed frontage and area requirements of their respective zones. As a result
of the subdivision amendment, lot 1 in Pheasant Park will increase in size
to 12,835 square feet, and lot 2 in Hunter Hills will be reduced to 7,100
square feet in size.
There is an existing 10-foot utility easement on the east side of lot 1
Pheasant Park and a 15-foot utility and drainage easement on lot 214 Hunter
Hills No. 2. Both easements will remain in place. Any new structures
and/or fencing will need to be coordinated with the respective utility and or
drainage companies. The easements are not being vacated or realigned with
this application.
The City Council will consider Ordinance 23-11 at the Regular Council Meeting
scheduled May 16, 2023 at 6:30 P.M.
B. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION SA-2-2023,
FILED BY ROMAN FRAZIER, REQUESTING FINAL PLAT APPROVAL
FOR THE MOUNTAIN VIEW BUSINESS PLAZA SUBDIVISION-
AMENDED AND EXTENDED LOCATED AT 3320 SOUTH 5600 WEST
Mayor Lang informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular Council
Meeting scheduled May 16, 2023, in order for the City Council to hear and consider
public comments regarding Application SA-2-2023, Filed by Roman Frazier,
Requesting Final Plat Approval for the Mountain View Business Plaza Subdivision-
Amended and Extended Located at 3320 South 5600 West.
Proposed Ordinance 23-12 related to the proposal to be considered by the City
Council subsequent to the public hearing, was discussed as follows:
ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 23-12, APPROVE THE AMENDMENT OF LOT
3 MOUNTAIN VIEW BUSINESS PLAZA SUBDIVISION
Steve Lehman, CED, discussed proposed Ordinance 23-12 that would approve the
Amendment of Lot 3 Mountain View Business Plaza Subdivision.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
Roman Frazier is requesting final approval for the Mountain View Business
Plaza Subdivision Amended. This application will amend and extend lot 3
of said subdivision. The subdivision is located at 3320 South 5600 West
and is zoned C-2.
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – MAY 9, 2023
-4-
The Mountain View Business Plaza Subdivision was recorded in June 2019.
The original subdivision consisted of 6 lots on 12 acres. The property is
zoned C-2 and is bordered on the north and south by existing commercial
development, the east by 5600 West and the west by property currently
being reviewed for flex office space located between the existing storage
project (old K-mart building) and Mountain View Corridor.
Mr. Frazier has developed the old K-mart into inside storage spaces, and the
other two lots adjacent to 5600 West as a Cane’s restaurant and Krispy
Kreme donut shop. In recent months, another parcel became available on
the north side of the main entrance into this project. It is currently being
used as a car wash. It is this parcel that the applicant would like to
consolidate with lot 3 of the Mountain View Business Plaza Subdivision.
The applicant would like to continue using the car wash for a time until a
more desirable use becomes available. The existing car wash site does have
some issues that need to be resolved with the City before a new business
license can be issued. Namely, the installation of required trees, removal of
the non-conforming monument sign and removal of banner signs. While
these issues won’t affect the approval of the subdivision, they will need to
be resolved in order for a new business license to be issued.
Councilmember Whetstone asked if the amendment would allow for an access point
between the property to the north where Walmart is located. Steve stated that the
two properties were unable to come to an agreement on sharing a cross access
easement and this application would not change that.
The City Council will consider Ordinance 23-12 at the Regular Council Meeting
scheduled May 16, 2023 at 6:30 P.M.
C. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION Z-1-2023, FILED
BY SAMUEL WRIGHT, REQUESTING A ZONE CHANGE FROM 'A'
(AGRICULTURE, MINIMUM LOT SIZE 1/2 ACRE) TO 'M'
(MANUFACTURING) FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7103 WEST

public comments regarding Application Z-1-2023, Filed by Samuel Wright,

MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – MAY 9, 2023
-5-
Proposed Ordinance 23-13 related to the proposal to be considered by the City
Council subsequent to the public hearing, was discussed as follows:
ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 23-13, AMEND THE ZONING MAP TO SHOW
A CHANGE OF ZONE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7103 WEST GATES
AVENUE FROM 'A' (AGRICULTURE, MINIMUM LOT SIZE 1/2 ACRE) TO
'M' (MANUFACTURING)
Steve Pastorik, CED, discussed proposed Ordinance 23-13 that would amend the
Zoning Map to Show a Change of Zone for Property Located at 7103 West Gates
Avenue from 'A' (Agriculture, Minimum Lot Size 1/2 Acre) to 'M' (Manufacturing).
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
The applicant has submitted a concept plan and written description for his
development proposal for the subject property. If this application is
approved, the applicant intends to build two 8,400 square foot buildings to
house his business, Wright Timberframe, and to rent out the remaining
space. Wright Timberframe builds custom timber frame structures such as
pergolas, pavilions, and trellises.
The subject property is designated as Light Manufacturing in the West
Valley City General Plan.
Similar to other properties along the south side of Gates Avenue that were
rezoned from A to M and abut residential to the south, the Planning
Commission is recommending a development agreement to address the
following topics: access on Gates Avenue, off-site improvements, a
covered entry for the building, hours of operation, a setback reduction
along the west side, a masonry wall substitution, and use limitations.
ACTION: RESOLUTION NO. 23-66, AUTHORIZE THE CITY TO ENTER
INTO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH SAMUEL WRIGHT FOR
APPROXIMATELY 1.19 ACRES OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT
APPROXIMATELY 7091-7103 WEST GATES AVENUE
Steve Pastorik, CED, discussed proposed Resolution 23-66 that would authorize the
City to Enter into a Development Agreement with Samuel Wright for Approximately
1.19 Acres of Property Located at Approximately 7091-7103 West Gates Avenue.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – MAY 9, 2023
-6-
Samuel Wright has submitted a zone change on a 0.88-acre parcel at 7103
W Gates Avenue from A (Agriculture, minimum lot size ½ acre) to M
(Manufacturing). The property at 7091 West Gates Avenue is already
zoned M. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the zone
change subject to a development agreement.
The proposed development agreement addresses the following topics:
access on Gates Avenue, off-site improvements, a covered entry for the
building, hours of operation, a setback reduction along the west side, a
masonry wall substitution, and use limitations.
Mayor Lang asked if the lot to the west is a commercial or residential use. Steve
replied there is no current residential use on that property. Councilmember
Whetstone asked if there are noise restrictions when manufacturing is next to
residential. Steve replied that noise restrictions apply after 10 PM to 7 AM. Mayor
Lang stated that noise complaints can still be reported if they can be heard within a
household. Steve agreed.
The City Council will consider Ordinance 23-13 and Resolution 23-66 at the
Regular Council Meeting scheduled May 16, 2023 at 6:30 P.M.
ORDINANCE 23-14: AMEND SECTIONS 16-1-101, 16-2-101, 16-4-101, 16-6-101,
16-11-101, 16-12-101, 16-13-101, 16-14-101, AND 16-15-101 OF THE WEST
VALLEY CITY MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADOPT CERTAIN INTERNATIONAL
BUILDING CODES
Jerry Thompson, CED, presented proposed Ordinance 23-14 that would amend Sections
16-1-101, 16-2-101, 16-4-101, 16-6-101, 16-11-101, 16-12-101, 16-13-101, 16-14-101, and
16-15-101 of the West Valley City Municipal Code to Adopt Certain International Building
Codes.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
Every three years revised editions of the building code, which is adopted by
the State of Utah as the minimal building standards for all buildings within
our State, must be adopted by local municipalities to replace the older
building codes that is considered obsolete. The building codes are living
documents which are subject to revision at annual code development
hearings in a national forum. The results of those hearings are published
every three years in revised editions.
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – MAY 9, 2023
-7-
In order to comply with the actions of the State Legislature, and current
State law, it is necessary to replace the 2018 editions of the international
codes by adopting the 2021 editions of said codes.
The City Council will consider Ordinance 23-14 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled
May 16, 2023 at 6:30 P.M
RESOLUTION 23-67: ADOPT A CAPITAL PROJECTS LIST
Wayne Pyle, City Manager, presented proposed Resolution 23-67 that would adopt a
Capital Projects List
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
We have amassed a significant amount of funding in our capital improvement
projects fund balance. This affords us the opportunity to fulfill some significant
catchup purchases and projects that otherwise would have to be further delayed,
bonded for or lease-purchased. This fund balance amount allows us the rare
occurrence of cash purchase without debt of these prioritized items. The CIP fund
balance is above and beyond the unreserved general fund balance, itself also a very
healthy amount equating to almost 25% of the city’s annual operating budget.
All projects on the list will come before the council for either contract or purchase
approval, or a budget opening as appropriate, or both. This resolution merely states
the council’s priority intent and authorization to move forward.
Councilmember Harmon stated he would like a little more detail on the golf course
maintenance equipment. Wayne replied that he would provide a more specific list to the
Mayor and Council. Mayor Lang asked if the $70,000 for the Fassio Fence would be
sufficient. Wayne replied that Nancy is working on obtaining an up to date bid. He noted
that this resolution is only meant to provide an overview of CIP projects and their estimated
funding but the Council will still review contracts or agreements for most items on the list
as they normally would. Upon inquiry from Councilmember Huynh, Wayne provided a
detailed explanation for each item proposed on the suggested CIP list. The Mayor and
Council briefly discussed street signs and the process of replacement as well as the cost per
sign. Councilmember Huynh asked about the Crystal Avenue sidewalk project. Wayne
replied to do the entire project with drainage, etc. would cost about 5 million dollars. He
indicated that Public Works is still working to obtain grant funding to complete this project.
Councilmember Whetstone asked how the CIP budget affects the General Fund. Wayne
replied that they are two separate funds and noted that the General Fund is 25% of the
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – MAY 9, 2023
-8-
annual operating budget and the CIP budget typically is about 1-2 million. Councilmember
Harmon asked why the CIP budget is so large this year. Wayne replied that this is largely
due to the inflow of federal funding over the past few years related to COVID.
The City Council will consider Resolution 23-67 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled
May 16, 2023 at 6:30 P.M
RESOLUTION 23-68: APPROVE AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN WEST VALLEY
CITY AND LARSEN, LARSEN, NASH & LARSEN, ATTORNEYS AT LAW, FOR
INDIGENT DEFENSE SERVICES
Nicole Cottle, Assistant City Manager, presented proposed Resolution 23-68 that would
approve an Agreement Between West Valley City and Larsen, Larsen, Nash & Larsen,
Attorneys at Law, for Indigent Defense Services.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
The Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution requires the City to provide
legal representation to indigent defendants. LLNL has been providing this service
to the City by contract for over 30 years. Not only is this firm is familiar with the
Court requirements and procedures and provides competent and valuable service to
the City it is also the only provider with a location in the City for the purpose of
serving our residents. Because of this competent experience, LLNL was chosen
as a professional service provider under the Procurement Code.
A robust contract has been negotiated and executed by LLNL to meet all the
requirements of the Sixth Amendment and subsequent case law and to provide the
best and most economical service the City.
Councilmember Nordfelt stated that there is a 7% annual increase. Nicole stated that the
previous agreement was a 4% escalation 5 years ago but the 7% is more in line with the
current legal rate. She added that there is only one other firm who could provide these
services and their proposal was twice the cost. Councilmember Huynh asked if there is a
website where residents can go to find indigent defense. Nicole replied that this is handled
by the court and information is provided to those needing services when the issue arises.
The City Council will consider Resolution 23-68 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled
May 16, 2023 at 6:30 P.M
RESOLUTION 23-69: AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE OF HVAC EQUIPMENT
AND THE EXECUTION OF A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – MAY 9, 2023
-9-
FROM AND WITH AMERICAN MECHANICAL SYSTEMS SERVICES, LLC
Nancy Day, Parks and Recreation Director, presented proposed Resolution 23-69 that
would authorize the Purchase of HVAC Equipment and the Execution of a Professional
Services Agreement From and With American Mechanical Systems Services, LLC
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
The Harman Senior Recreation Center furnace/AC units were vandalized and are no
longer functional. Due to the nature of the damage, facility insurance will cover the
cost of replacement with the exception of the $25,000 deductible. The Parks and
Recreation Department solicited bids and received two including the following:
American Mechanical Systems Service, LLC: $57,070.21
Rocky Mountain Mechanical: $57,250.00
American Mechanical Systems Service, LLC was selected as the lowest responsible
bidder and holds the Utah State purchasing contract number MA2606 for this work.
Councilmember Whetstone asked if there are plans in place to prevent future vandalism.
Nancy replied that the turf is being changed to rock, fencing is being added, and security
cameras.
The City Council will consider Resolution 23-69 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled
May 16, 2023 at 6:30 P.M
CONSENT AGENDA SCHEDULED FOR MAY 16, 2023
A. RESOLUTION 23-70: RATIFY THE CITY MANAGER'S APPOINTMENT

Wayne Pyle, City Manager, discussed proposed Resolution 23-70 that would ratify
the City Manager's Appointment of Initial Members of the Healthy West Valley

Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
Members of the Healthy West Valley City Committee are
appointed for a four year term by the City Manager with
the advice and consent of the City Council.

Councilmember Harmon stated that he would like to see more citizens from West
Valley City serve on the committee. Councilmember Christensen stated that this is
something the Committee would like as well. He noted that many members are
from organizations that assist with the committee. Mayor Lang asked if there is a
cap. Nichole Camac, City Recorder, replied that she would look into this.
The City Council will consider Resolution 23-70 on the Consent Agenda at the
Regular Council Meeting scheduled May 16, 2023 at 6:30 P.M
COMMUNICATIONS
A. CONVENTION TOURISM ASSESSMENT AREA (CTAA) FOLLOW UP
Kaitlin Eskelson, President and CEO of Visit Salt Lake, provided a recap of the
proposed CTAA and how it could help West Valley City and bring tourism and
tourism dollars to the community. Councilmember Christensen asked how the City
would see the benefit from this type of program. Ms. Eskelson stated that the
program is governed under a contract with Salt Lake County and noted that this
contract has been in place for 36 years. She indicated that dollars flow through
transient tax through the hotels who can use the funds to provide improvements to
areas like the Maverik Center or the golf courses. Ms. Eskelson stated that the
partnership is unique and hoteliers are self-imposing an increased fee but have the
opportunity to sit on a board, manage those funds, and approve how those funds are
spent.
Councilmember Nordfelt stated that the hoteliers are responsible for determining
where the dollars are spent. He asked if there is one committee who oversees the
overall dollars in the County or if there are separate regional committees. Tyson
Lybbert, Visit Salt Lake, stated that there would be a ChamberWest footprint that
would oversee West Valley City and Kearns but there will also be representation
on the overall board. Mr. Lybbert addressed how funds could potentially be spent
and potential events that could be brought to the City. Mayor Lang stated that the
money wouldn’t be guaranteed to be spent in West Valley City or on improvements
at the West Valley City venues. Mr. Lybbert agreed but noted that it is in the best
interest of the hoteliers to incentivize and improve events so more visitors will stay
at their hotels.
Councilmember Huynh expressed concern that West Valley City would not have
direct control over how the funds are spent. Councilmember Nordfelt stated that
this would bring more visitors to West Valley City who would then spend dollars
at the local stores, restaurants, etc. Mayor Lang stated that these events could still
come to West Valley City, even if the City doesn’t participate in this program. Ms.
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – MAY 9, 2023
-11-
Eskelson stated that bringing large events is dependent on many factors including
room rates, air fair, and other package deals. She stated that while money is going
back to the hoteliers, the City will see increases in the way Councilmember Nordfelt
mentioned. Councilmember Whetstone asked if hotels in West Valley City are
struggling to fill rooms. Ms. Eskelson stated that they are running at about 67%
occupancy year-round. Councilmember Whetstone asked if there would be any
discernment between local residents staying at a hotel. Ms. Eskelson replied no.
Mr. Lybbert stated that the County Council will be voting on June 6th. He noted that
Salt Lake City and Sandy have already passed resolutions and Draper, South
Jordan, and Kearns are going through the process. Mayor Lang asked what the
resolution will provide. Mr. Lybbert replied that it will allow hotels to participate.
He noted that if a resolution is not passed, CTAA funding cannot directly benefit
the West Valley City region. Mayor Lang stated that there is no guarantee West
Valley City will see any funds at all. Mr. Lybbert stated that this is true but the City
will benefit one way or another from sales tax. Councilmember Whetstone asked if
the hotels in the City have expressed interest. Mr. Lybbert replied that there are 15
hotels and 7 have approved of this plan. He noted that the other hotels didn’t offer
any opposition, they simply didn’t respond. Councilmember Nordfelt asked if all
hotels would be required to collect the additional fee. Mr. Lybbert replied yes.
Mayor Lang asked if this is the something the City needs. Wayne replied that Mr.
Bruder at the Maverik center is in favor of this proposal. Nancy Day, Parks and
Recreation Director, stated that she could see a benefit to the golf courses, softball
fields, etc. Mayor Lang asked if this would limit residents from using the fields for
their own programs. Nancy replied that residents would be a top priority and any
large tournaments would be scheduled so as not to conflict with local leagues.
Councilmember Nordfelt stated that he doesn’t see a downside to passing a
resolution in support of this proposal. Councilmember Harmon stated that people
may not want to stay at higher priced hotels and may travel to Taylorsville or West
Jordan because rates are cheaper there. Councilmember Nordfelt stated that the
events will be held in West Valley City and a higher volume of tourists will spend
time in the City. He noted that the hotels can also offset costs by reducing their rates
to remain competitive. Councilmember Christensen stated that when he visits
Disneyland he stays off property because it’s less expensive but he does spend all
his money on the property. Councilmember Whetstone stated that he would like to
see more high-profile events in the City and would support a resolution.
Councilmember Christensen agreed. Mayor Lang stated that the City has invested
dollars into the Maverik Center and other event venues. She stated that she feels
the City is doing a good job and doesn’t need this added support. Mayor Lang also
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – MAY 9, 2023
-12-
noted that the City would have no say over the outcome or the dollars being spent.
Councilmember Huynh agreed. Mayor Lang stated that she is also concerned about
forcing the 8 other hotels that didn’t respond to participate in this program if they
don’t want to. Councilmember Nordfelt stated that 100% of those who responded
were in favor. Councilmember Huynh asked if the 8 other hotels would be able to
sue the City. Eric replied that anyone can sue but he doesn’t believe there would be
a strong likelihood of prevailing. Mayor Lang asked for a review and legal opinion
on this matter. After discussion, the Council agreed to place a resolution on the
agenda for consideration.
The Mayor and Council had no further questions or concerns.
