Third West Road For Garden City

GARDEN CITY, Utah.  September 14, 2017. Jack and Joanne Stone appeared before the City Council regarding a property transfer negotiation.  The Stones own property that the City needs in order to change the Third West road design.  Currently the curves near Buttercup were too sharp for a 40-mph bypass road.  The Stone family noted that agreements and plans were made in 2010, and yet there was no follow through on the part of the City. 

There are two main issues the Stone family would appreciate the City fixing.  Currently, the City wants to move the new road closer to the Stone’s garage.  In so doing, that will leave only 29’ of a driveway.  The Stone’s need at least a 46-foot driveway in order to be able to park their boats. 

It was suggested that the City make an entrance to the garage on the West side of the building.  This would require modification of the doors, the driveway, and required drainage in that area.  Perhaps the City could take care of the possibility to bid out these modifications.

In the agreement made in 2010, Garden City agreed to add a new fence, give the Stone’s a water hookup, would gravel the shoulders of the road, and put a culvert in the best location. This agreement, however, was never filed.  Because of this failure to follow-through, the Stones doubt the City will follow through this time with the items that are needed by the Stones.  They are reluctantly willing to make accommodations if the City will make the requested changes.
