GARDEN CITY, Utah. August 9, 2018. The
City’s Engineer noted that work is being done on the storage sheds located
north and west of the City Offices.
Drainage is a problem. The City wants to make sure that water will not come onto the City’s parking lot. Currently they do not have a solution to this
problem. The canal can handle the water
flow. However, if there were an overflow
from the canal, the City offices would be flooded. The City noted that they need to be posted on
what is being done to solve this problem.
Bear
Lake Escape needs to have a bonding amount available. They should contact the City and make sure
the proper amount is available.
Rocky
Mountain Power will be doing the electrical work at Heritage Park. There has been a plan made that will allow
for more booths and tables in the future for Raspberry Days.
One part of the electricity will come off the south transformer. The power will be underground with pedestals
with at least two connections available at certain locations. The power should be in place within the next
45 days. There will also be power to the
rest rooms as well as a box attached to the restrooms for additional power, if needed. The City will not be getting three-phase
power but will have enough locations to handle future needs. The grant will pay for most of the electrical
work that will be done.
The
workers are hoping to have all the power, water, and sod done at Heritage Park
by the middle of September. Rocky
Mountain Power will begin work at the Park within the next two or three
days.
Riley
Argyle, Public Works Supervisor, reported there will be a water line along
the fence that will carry half the water.
There will be a lot of pipe that needs to be laid for a sprinkler system
as well as other places where water will be needed. He thought it would be good for the City to
purchase a trencher that could be used to lay the pipe and would be available
for other types of projects in the future. It would be cheaper than having
someone come in a do the digging for the water system. He said he would get the
cost of a trencher and get the information to the City office.
All
parts of the sprinkler system will be out for bids. There may be some issues on the water
lines. These will have to be taken care
of as they become known. Argyle also
noted that he thought it would be nice to have an entrance to Heritage
Park, perhaps some tall poles. Someone
noted that poles tend to decay quickly.
The suggestion was made that perhaps poles like the Stockings got that
have the bears on the top would be a better way to go.
George
Peart, Residential Housing Inspector, reported that a red shed has been
built on Hollow Road with a house attached to it. He knew nothing about this building project.
He
said that there are 22 building permits out and six more are currently
pending. Building costs are going
up. Buttercup seems to be one of the hot
spots in Garden City. There is also a
new home going up on Hodges Lane. There
are also a lot of homes going up on Sweetwater Hill, which is in the County.
The
City has made a change in parking for short-term rentals noting there needs to
be parking for every four people instead of five. Some new homes are having to adjust and make
sure they have enough parking. The
change was made because of the number of trailers, boats, ATVs, etc. that are
being brought into the area.
Peart said that there are some issues with parking, water, and sanitation in dealing
with short-term rentals. These things
will need to be worked out soon.
