GARDEN CITY, Utah. Riley Argle, Public
Works Department, reported that the project to repair the water main line in
Lakota has been moved to the fall. A public
hearing will be held next month on the proposed Garden City Gun Range. So far, everyone who has seen the site is
excited about this project. An on-site
visit will be available for the public before the public hearing. Because of unavailability of asphalt, the
project to replace five outdated water meters will be delayed until Monday of
this coming week. The GIS mapping is
progressing.
A bid for a parking lot at Heritage Park should be coming in
this week. New trees have been planted,
a ramp has been installed, bentonite clay has been added, the head gates
and boxes repaired, ditch improvements have been installed, and rock has been laid to
slow erosion at the Heritage Park Pond.
So far, eight of twenty decorative light poles have been
installed in Garden City. Landscaping
surrounding the Water Treatment Plant is being completed as promised to
property owners. A water line must be
installed in 300 West before construction of the roadway. A 14” water line must be installed for bypass
reasons, to serve properties, and for fire flow. The estimated cost of this project is between
$90,000 and $100,000, including hydrants, fittings, etc.
Andy Stokes, Code Enforcement Officer, is preparing a new
format for giving citations. New businesses
are being consulted regarding the sign ordinance. Stokes
has stated that most businesses have been cooperative regarding signage. Signage stating that a business is
open/closed, enter/exit signs are considered informational, not a product sign.
Danny White, Garden City Administrator, performed
jurisdictional determinations of the wetlands along 3rd West. Hydrophytic vegetation assessment, soils
classifications, and hydrology assessments were performed. Using
GIS, White compiled the data collected
in the field and delineated the wetland boundaries. Two other roadway projects,
100 West and 75th North-Beach Access Road, also
were assessed, as was 300 West. An initial survey of the site (the 75 North parking lots)
will determine the opportunities and constraints.
A preliminary layout of the parking area has been
produced. Some changes on the layout of
the decorative lights to allow more flexibility in the spacing have been implemented
and installation of the lights is continuing.
White has met with State Parks, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, and the Rich
County Commissioners to discuss the gun range design, and is working with the Division of Wildlife Resource
to mitigate the impact on winter grazing habitat, and with UDOT to determine if
a turn lane will be needed.
Garden City with is also working with State Parks to identify the locations of property corners on the site. White spoke with Renegade Raceway and should have a letter of understanding that the Raceway will have the façade on the sign by the first week in July. A map showing public beach access points and locations for future parking adjacent to these sites is being prepared. An information Kiosk design proposed by White has been signed and stamped by JUB and will be under construction soon.
