GARDEN CITY, Utah.  February 9, 2017. Dieter Walters requested a short term rental license for his property on 767 Spruce Drive.  His application was lacking George Peart’s signature, and there were some electrical problems that needed to be taken care of.  The Council approved the application upon condition that the above items be resolved.

Charles Van Wagoner has hired Bear Lake Property Management to handle his property located at 533 Raspberry Patch Road as a short term rental.  The Council approved the application for a license for this business. 

Dennis and Carol Judd own property at 55 North Sherry Lane.  They applied for a short term rental license.  Apparently this property has just been sold and the new owner’s signature is needed on the short term rental application.  Also, a better layout on parking needs to be submitted to the City.  Approval was given on condition that the above two items be resolved.

Ordinance #16-08 was sent to the Council from the Planning and Zoning Commission.  This ordinance concerns the height of fences, and the item was discussed by the Council.  The question was asked concerning when commercial and residential properties are next to each other what height of fence should be allowed?  Several other examples of when fence height might be different than the one height suggested in the ordinance.   The Council decided that the Ordinance should be revisited by Planning and Zoning.

A request has been made to re-zone property along 200 North from approximately 120 W to Bear Lake Blvd.  The request is to re-zone the property from the current C3 zone to a PUD (Planned Unit Development) Zone.  The request was made by Mark Smoot.  The Council passed the rezone.

Bob Peterson, the Code Enforcement Officer/Planning and Permitting Liaison to the council, presented two studies—the Water Usage Report and the 2016 Sales Tax Report.  Both of these reports are presented in separate articles.

Elk’s Ridge water system easement and property agreement was discussed. It should be recorded in the next few days. 

Mayor Spuhler noted that the Appeals Authority Board needs to add another member to the board who is employed by the City.  Sharlene Millard was recommended as the individual to fill this spot.  This will bring the board compliant to state code.  The suggestion was made that perhaps the Council should look into making some additional changes to this board.
