Public Hearing for Garden City Planning and Zoning

GARDEN CITY, Utah. September 4, 3013.  A Public Hearing was held prior to the regularly scheduled meeting.  There were about 20 to 25 people in attendance.  They were all interested in what is happening to the Water’s Edge Subdivision. 

Concerns and questions were voiced.  It was noted that a fence would be placed on the north side of the subdivision according to the current ordinances.  However, there will not be one on the south because there is a road between the subdivision and other homes.  There are five property access points according to the current plans. 

Safety issues were discusses, beach access, congestion on 150 South, building heights and lake view matters were raised.  Road widths within the subdivision, fire access paths and widths of parking stalls were also questioned.  The maps that most people had access to were small making reading of details difficult. 

Several individuals noted that large projects sometimes fail.  It was noted that a performance bond will be required for the entire project. 

Several people noted that a traffic study, an environmental impact study, and housing for individuals working on the project as well as long-term employees who will be working at the various commercial buildings as they are completed should be addressed. 

The meeting moved along smoothly, the questions were interesting and brought up issues that certainly need consideration.
