GARDEN CITY, Utah.  February 11, 2016. Summit Inn Pizza has requested a business license to conduct a restaurant and retail sales business at 70 West Logan Road.  The Managers will be Matt and Laura Cluff.  This is the same location where Lakeside Pizza was previously.  The recipes for the pizza will be the same as in the past.  The license was granted for the new franchise. 

A short term rental application was made to allow 108 Harbor Village to be used as a short term rental.  Bear Lake Lodging will be the management company handling this property.  The owners are Jeff and Cindy Winter.  The license was granted.

The Shundahi master plan is really a conceptual plan, and it is the development plan used from which to build.  It was determine that if Shundahi will maintain 75 percent green space for every unit, greater density will be allowed by the City.

A discussion was held to rezone property #36-04-009 from residential estates zone to a C-4 zone.  Councilman Darrin Pugmire felt that the area was much too large for this particular zone.  He said it should only be five acres or less.  Pat Argyle, Councilwoman, also was questioning this rezone.  The Council voted three for and two against thus passing what the Planning Committee had recommended.  However, later in the meeting, the Council decided that the item needed to be tabled and considered at the next Council meeting.

A discussion was held concerning rezoning of property within all existing subdivisions located above the canal from Hillside Estates zone to Recreational Residential zone.  Foothill Estates will have a portion of their subdivision as Recreational Residential and a portion as C-3 zone. The council passed this action.

The Council approved the reappointment of Joey Stocking and Jim Stone to the Planning Commission, Clint England and Scott Tolentino to the Board of Adjustments and Skip Duffin to the Appeals Authority Board.

A comparison was made among three different insurance coverage plans for City employees.  The three plans were the Utah State Trust Plan, a state government plan, Olympus Insurance, and Travelers’ Insurance.  After looking at the premium factors, coverage factors, carrier factors, service coverage, and commercial market philosophy; it was determined that the Utah State Trust Plan would give the best coverage at the lowest price as well.
