CITY, Utah. February 4, 2015. The
Planning and Zoning public meeting began at 4:45 PM and had a few people in
attendance. The discussions focused on a
Conditional Use Permit application to build a high quality RV Park and
Campground, including “glamping” sites.
This would be located on the west side of 300 W. between the rodeo
grounds and Bear Hollow and will be called Conestoga. The application was made by Glampco, LLC
(Mike Knapp). Questions were asked in
regard to emergency vehicle clearances and access, setbacks, and infrastructure
requirements being met. The board also
stated fire hydrant locations need to be located on the Plot Plan.
The
P&Z meeting began at 5:12 PM and the board members present were: Lance
Bourne, Dewayne Gifford, Susan House and Jim Stone. Pat Argyle and Steve Arnold were absent. Jim Hanzelka and Jim DeGoot were also present.
After
accepting the minutes for last month’s meetings the board nominated Susan House
as the Vice Chair. The first topic
discussed was the Preliminary Phases for The Lodge at Bear Lake, Water’s
Edge. The project will consist of
several phases. The City Engineer has a
concern with water drainage on 150 S. Norm
Mecham thought this topic had been discussed and settled and restated there is
not sufficient open space to handle the anticipated run off on his site the way
the engineer is suggesting. The board
approved the preliminary plan as previously proposed and gave permission to
begin Phase 1.
The
next topic discussed was the Conditional Use Permit discussed during the Public
Hearing. Lance pointed out that because
the Master Plan presented was the 3rd version and was not provided
two weeks before for review a decision could not be made. He said a special meeting will be scheduled
with the P&Z and Town Counsel to discuss the revised Master Plan in more
detail. Lance reviewed the bonding and
infrastructure requirements and provided clarification on the need to phase the
project so it can be spread out over a longer period of time if required Knapp
said they have an over optimistic plan to be operational in July 2015. The master
plan shows 8 glamping sites, 13 Conestoga wagons, 4 wagon circles containing 8
wagon each, 32 RV sites, pizza pavilion, fire pit, bath house, Event barn,
activity field, and parking spaces. The
board approved a permit for just the glamping portion of the project with
stipulation it includes acceptable emergency vehicle access, water, sewer, electricity
and acceptable fire hydrant access.
The
next topics on the agenda were: an ordinance stating that homes can be built in
a specific commercial zone, sign ordinance, commercial parking, and conditional
use permits for kennels. The board tabled
all of these agenda items for further review.
During
the miscellaneous discussion Mark Smoot, Epic, discussed a proposal to provide
an egress lane from his property on 200 N. that adjoins Cherry Blossom so the
traffic can drive straight through and large vehicles like garbage trucks do not
have to back out. The board also
discussed what commercial zones indoor and outdoor kennels should be located in.
Meeting
adjourned at 6:30 PM.
