GARDEN CITY , Utah.  February 8, 2018.  A discussion was held concerning the conceptual plan for a residential subdivision of approximately 100 acres.  The land is west of Hodges Canal and between the existing Cherimoya Subdivision to the east and the future Shundahai to the west, and north of Hodges Canyon Road.  The subdivision will be approximately 87 lots with a minimum of ¼ acre per lot.  This land, the John and Noreen Trust, is currently being handled by Randall Hansen and Bonnie Jorgensen as the trustees.  The information presented to the council members was given by Jeff Jorgensen, the husband of Bonnie Jorgensen.

The City is planning on putting a water line easement and a road along the top edge of this property between the Hansen land and the future Shundahai.  The new water line and Paradise Parkway gives both water and a good ingress/egress to this property making it an excellent area for development.  There will be three east/west roads within the subdivision itself.

Phase one is being called Cherimoya West which includes 23 lots.  Five of those lots on the south are very steep but are part of the plan.  This property is in the recreational hillside zone which is perfect for this type of subdivision.  A motion for approval was made and passed.

Members of the Planning Commission asked for some additional time for discussing two ordinances.  They also requested that they be given a copy of these ordinances that the City passed at the special meeting held at the beginning of the year.  They were not sure of the wording of these ordinances that had been approved by the City Council.

Resolution #R-18-01 is a resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of a class C road revenue note and related matters.  The City needs a $350,000 loan to finish out Third West this coming summer.  Authorization of payment from the road funds to pay the short-term loan is needed.

There will be a public hearing on this item next month.  A motion was made and passed on this item.

A short discussion concerning sanitation dump fees was held.  It was noted that Garden City paid $21,000 last summer to take care of all the large dumpsters in town.  This item will be put on the agenda for next month.
