GARDEN CITY, Utah.  March 12, 2015.  The agenda order was changed so that Zan Murray and George Peart would be able to leave the meeting for some other appointments.

Agenda item number 6 reads:  Final Approval for a RV Park located at 300 west and approximately 450 North, Parcel #41-17-00-075 and 41-17-00-083.  The name of the RV Park is Conestoga.  Applicant is Glampco, L.L.C., Mike Knapp and Rich Smart.

Planning and Zoning did given Conestoga a conditional use permit with the conditions that all roads would be 24 feet wide, the emergency turnaround would be 50 feet in diameter, and a second bridge—a foot bridge would be added to the plans.

In looking through the documents, Zan Murray noted that there were no final construction plans showing how everything was to be built and whether they met the City’s standards.  Construction plans are a requirement before final approval can be given on any project.  It was also reported that it is the City’s responsibility to contact both canal companies concerning any construction that is being considered within 100 feet on either side of the canals.  Apparently an application for a canal crossing had been requested by the contractors, but the City had not made any contact with the Swan Creek Canal Company or Hodges Irrigation Canal Company.

As the discussion ensued, it was determined that final approval at this time was not appropriate.  The construction plans will need to be submitted to the City.  Also, the various other entities such as the sewer district, the sanitation department, and so forth need to be consulted.  The canal companies will need to be informed and allowed to sign off on the project.  The Council members liked the concept.  They decided they would approve the preliminary plan.  A motion was made and seconded to do that.  The other information needed can be submitted prior to next month’s Council Meeting.

Agenda item number seven dealt with the bid awards.  The Council awarded the bid for the150 South parking lot to Circle C Construction Company.  Their bid was the lowest.  The motion was made, seconded, and approved to award the bid to Circle C.

The 300 West water line replacement/crossing project was awarded to MGM Construction Company (Mike Madsen).  His bid was the lowest.  The motion was made, seconded, and approved to award the bid to MGM. 

The Council member signed the required documents and presented them to Zan Murray to finish out the necessary paperwork and requirements to get the projects going.
