GARDEN CITY, Utah.  February 6, 2019. Ted Holmberg, owner of Raspberry Farms, asked for approval by the Planning Commission for the subdivision of four commercial lots located at 395 Logan Canyon Road.  This proposed subdivision is just south of Bear Lake Monster Storage. 

The City Engineer, Zan Murray, noted that any easements must be put on the plat.  There are several signatures that are needed, and there are no addresses on the plat.  They will need to be placed on the final plat.  The street shown needs to be labeled as private.  A sidewalk may not be needed because there will not be much pedestrian walking along that area.  There needs to be some clarifications dealing with special services—a sanitary easement needs to be 10’ wide.  There needs to be some clarification on set-backs.  The set-backs end at the road-way easement.  There should be a 15’ easement on both sides of the private road.  There should also be a right-of-way line on the plat.  Corner lots need wider set backs that the other two lots.

The plat is not showing any area for storm water runoff.  The swells on each of the road takes care of road water, but each lot has a responsibility for their own water runoff.  A letter from the Canal Company must give permission if the lots are within 100’ from the canal.  That distance is determined from the middle of the canal out at least 33’ from that point.

A motion was made and approved the preliminary plat with the expectations of a letter from the Canal Company and taking care of the items listed by the City Engineer.

A discussion was held concerning Phase I for a Subdivision of 13 lots located west of Cherimoya.  This Subdivision is approximately located at 300-400 West and 1400 – 1500 South.  It is named Long Ridge @ Bear Lake.  Jeff Jorgensen presented the information about this subdivision.

Jorgensen described how the plat shows the location lots and streets for this Phase of the Subdivision.  It was noted that there will be no fences on these properties because they don’t want to block any views of Bear Lake.  There was one access to Lots 11 or 13.  Currently there is no access to this subdivision on Persimmon Street.  Lots 11, 12, and 13 face a different way than some of the other homes, and they will have access from a different road than the other homes.  Currently there is no access to Paradise Parkway.  It was recommended that a trail easement for water and sewer be brought in at a certain point. 

During the discussion, it was noted that there was no driveway access to lot 9.  There was an area with no trail access but is a utility access.  Starlight Drive could be widened to make a 60’ road. 

After discussing the various possibilities and ideas, it was noted that Jorgensen make the changes suggested and bring the plan back to the Planning Commission next month.

There was a discussion concerning food trucks.  The comment was made that it would really be nice to have a variety of different food trucks in one area so that people could have lots of choices of what kinds of food they would like to purchase.  Perhaps it could be called a food court where power, water, and sewer are available.  Also, if that was made available, then there would need to be restrooms in that area.  It was suggested that this item be put on next month’s agenda.  The meeting was adjourned.
