Activities Park Proposed In Garden City

GARDEN CITY, Utah. September 7, 2016. Clair Webb requested that he be allowed to create a commercial building on a 25 percent slope for a future project on Eutaw Road in Shundahai.  His original plan was to place this building on a 30 percent slope.  However, he was able to find another spot that will be within the City’s ordinance of a 25 percent slope.  Webb will be building the parking lot for his building on an 18 to 25 percent grade. 

There was also the request made to allow the poles for an extra high swing as well as a climbing wall, both will probably exceed the 35’ commercial height limit.  However, it was determined that these items were not structures thereby making it possible from Webb to move forward.

Webb is planning on creating an activities park.  There would be summer tubing.  Freeballin, also known as Zorb balls and human hamster balls, is another activity being considered.  The 30’ balls are made in Europe and sold by Freeballinusa.  He is planning a rope course, a 300’ zip line, a giant swing over 35’ high, and a climbing wall about 20’ long and about 50’ high.  Disc golf is also being considered.

Webb was asked if he was planning on building a fence around the activity park.  He noted that it will be a short fence because keeping people out of the area is impossible.  He asked if a permit would be needed to build the fence and was told that a building permit is not required for fences.
