Steve Lehman agrees that any water issues need to be resolved before construction begins.

THE SUBDIVISION WILL CONSIST OF 3 LOTS AND 1 PARCEL ON 54 ACRES. THE SUBDIVISION IS ZONED M (MANUFACTURING) AND IS LOCATED AT 5139 WEST 2400 SOUTH. (STAFF - STEVE LEHMAN AT 801-963- 311) Discussion: Steve Lehman said this property north of the Riter Canal will be subdivided into three large lots for future industrial type uses. There is an existing well on the property that may interfere with parking and the layout of the site. The developer proposes to relocate the well. There is also an existing storm drain line that will be abandoned and relocated to allow greater flexibility on the lots for development. Commissioner Winters asked if the well is active. Steve Lehman answered yes. Commissioner Fuller asked who the well belongs to. Steve Lehman said it may be a private well system. Commissioner Winters asked if the wetlands can be included as part of the required greenspace. Steve Lehman said we don’t require a lot of open space in the Manufacturing zone, but if it is left open, it would be counted towards the landscaping percentage needed. CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATIONS C-11-2018 PETITION BY BRIDGER TAYLOR REQUESTING CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL FOR A FOUR-UNIT DWELLING. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 1512 WEST 3395 SOUTH ON 0.23 ACRES AND IS ZONED R-4-8.5 (FOUR UNIT DWELLING RESIDENTIAL). (STAFF - BROCK ANDERSON AT 801-963-3361) Discussion: This subdivision of four-plexes was developed in 1978, with this lot being used for water retention. The water retention basin has since been abandoned and the water has been piped. There are three 15’ easements on this property. Brock Anderson reported that the property owner appeared before the Board of Adjustment and was granted variances for landscaping, location of a dumpster, reduction of required amenities and open space requirements, and using some carports instead of all garages. All other design standards for multi-family dwellings will be met. Materials for this four-plex will be fiber cement siding with some stone. Commissioner Lovato asked if the homes will include basements. Brock Anderson answered yes, a geotechnical report is required before construction may Planning Commission Study Session July 3, 2018 Page 3 begin. C-12-2018 PETITION BY ALPINE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT REQUESTING A SHOPPING CENTER. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 3330 SOUTH 5600 WEST AND IS ZONED C-2 (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) ON 10.75 ACRES. (STAFF - JODY KNAPP AT 801-963-3497) Discussion: In Jody Knapp’s absence, Brock Anderson gave a brief history of this property. This Kmart property was built in 1986 and closed in 2016. The property has been vacant since then. The developer would like to divide this space into a 60,000 sqft grocery store, 10,000 sqft retail space, and 21,000 sqft restaurant. Because the intensity of the use will be increased for the restaurant, more landscaping will be added. One pole sign is being requested for this property. 10 sqft of bonus signage is allowed, because no other monument signs are being requested. C-13-2018 PETITION BY JAMES CARROLL REQUESTING CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL FOR A SHOPPING CENTER. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 1741 WEST AND 1751 WEST 3100 SOUTH ON 1.47 ACRES AND IS ZONED C-2 (GENERAL COMMERCIAL). (STAFF - BROCK ANDERSON AT 801-963-3361) Discussion: Brock Anderson said this property has been vacant. These two parcels will be consolidated in to one. A one-stop tile, carpet, counters, cabinets, and paint design center is being proposed here. There will be a show room and retail and warehouse sections. 53 parking stalls are required. There will only be one access allowed to the property from 3100 South, the second access will need to be removed. Cross access and easement agreements are needed through the Chevron station off of Redwood Road. 3100 South is a high image arterial, so high image streetscape standards are required. Materials are stucco and a composite panel. An 8’ wall may be required instead of 6’ because of the height difference near the mobile homes. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 4:10 p.m. Respectfully submitted, _______________________________________ Brenda Turnblom, Administrative Assistant
