GARDEN CITY, Utah. December 11, 2015. Zan Murray, Garden City Engineer, reported that he will resubmit the USDA Grant Application as soon as some property items on Elk's Ridge are taken care of.  This includes the land acquisition under the water tank and the problem concerning the Lance Cole issue. The Webber family is cooperating with the City which makes things much easier.

The City also needed to obtain an easement from Paul Hodges.  Norm Mecham brought a copy of the needed Paul Hodges easement into the meeting just as Murray was giving his report. Mecham noted that the document will need to be reformatted so that there is a place for a notary signature as well as the legal description added to the document.

The trail from 350 South to the City Park will be ready to put out to bid in January or February and should be completed before Memorial Day.  The issues with the Canal Company concerning the City’s water rights have been resolved.

Rulon Crosby has once again appeared before the Planning and Zoning Commission to develop a small subdivision.  However, the Council noted that he will have to remove one of the homes in order to meet the City’s requirements concerning access into that area.  It will be interesting to see how things work out in this area.

Mark Smoot of Epic is going to develop all of the property from Conestoga Resort on 300 West to Highway 89.  It was noted that the project looks good and has some really exciting ideas that will add to the City.
