GARDEN
CITY, Utah. October 3, 2018. The Public
Hearing began at 5 p.m. There were three
or four families at the hearing who were worried about a re-zone from C-3 to
Recreational Residential on Lot 22.
Conestoga Ranch owns Lot 22 and wants to put two man-camp-style housing
units as well as a two studio-style duplexes on this property to house their
workers. The families at the meeting
were concerned with the type of buildings that are planned as well as the age
of the workers who would be living there.
The workers will be young adults who like to party and have fun when
they are not working. The families were
concerned about the neighborhood and being able to maintain a family-oriented
area. They were also concerned with late
hours that younger workers seem to enjoy.
They
also mentioned the dance hall that is just down the street that already brings
many young people who are involved in drinking, drugs, and lots of noise.

Thornock, the individual in charge of the employee at Conestoga Ranch noted
that some changes had been made that would be more appealing to the
neighborhood. He reported that they would
not be using man-camp-style housing units.
It had been decided to have five studio, one-bedroom duplexes instead of
the man-camp-style housing units. The
units will be air-conditioned and have all been newly painted. He is currently in the process of writing
rules and regulations that the employees will be asked to follow. These rules will be monitored closely. He also noted that most of the employees do
not have cars, so there will not be a lot of vehicles parked at this location.

Which subdivision is this?
Curious as to how these workers will be any louder or stay up later than the typical tourists/summer residents that inundate GC every summer.
Also were the protesters trying to infer that these Conestoga workers are more likely to do drugs than the standard tourist because there's a dance hall close by?
