GARDEN CITY, Utah. February 21, 2019. There were two companies requesting short-term rental licenses. Bear Lake Lodging will manage the property located at 740 S Buttercup Circle. This home is owned by Marcus Smoot. The motion was made and passed to allow this short-term rental a license.
Bear Lake Luxury Rentals will mange the home located at 660 South Bear Lake Blvd. The owner of this home is Scott Sechrist. The motion was made and passed allowing rental of this home.
Carmen and Connie Vella have several lots that have been encumbered. They want to terminate the encumbrance agreement and covenant to run with the land located in Raspberry Patch Estates. They requested termination of the encumbrances of Parcels #41-17-030-0028, #41-17-030-0029, #41-17-030-0030, #41-17-030-0031, #41-17-030-0032, and #41-17-030-0033. The motion was made and passed to unencumber these lots.
A motion was then made to encumber lots #41-17-030-0028, #41-17-030-0029, #41-17-030-0030 and encumber #41-17-030-0031, #41-17-030-0032, and #41-17-030-0033. The motion passed.
Robert and Cynthia Argyle requested the City to encumber Lots #41-17-050-0050 and #41-17-050-0051. The motion was made and passed.
Norm Mecham requested the city to rezone property at approximately 185 S and 100 W from a C1 and C3 Zone to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) zone. He has titled this property Waterdance. The motion was made and passed.
Ted Holmberg has four commercial lots at Raspberry Farms located at 395 Logan Canyon Road. The roadway into this area has been recorded and is a private road which includes its use by the storage sheds on the north as well as the four lots just noted. There is a 15’ area on the west from the road center for utilities and a 15’ area on the east also for utilities. Currently, the only people using this road are those involved with the storage units.
There is a canal easement and the set backs there are of the proper amount. A letter from the Canal Company has given permission for this subdivision. A motion was made and passed accepting this new subdivision.
Jeff Jorgensen is heading the new subdivision west of Cherimoya. This new subdivision is called Long Ridge at Bear Lake. Jorgensen noted that last month, the City requested that Starlight Drive be 60’ wide. By doing that, some of the lot sizes had to be changed. Also, Morning Star Circle was also changed in size to allow larger vehicles to be able to turn in that area.
The Council Members noted that the City’s attorney requires a current title report before any work can be done on this subdivision. A current title report is also needed to get preliminary plat approval. Because of this restriction, the Council stated that it would not be able to give preliminary approval. Thus, the request for preliminary approval for phase One for a three lot subdivision west of Cherimoya had to be denied.
As the Town Council worked with the map, they were unable to find both an ingress and egress for this subdivision. There is only one entry. This, too, needs to be addressed before approval can be given for phase one.
Jorgensen was told that the City has not begun work on Paradise Parkway. The water line is currently being put through that area, but it will be at least five or more years before Paradise Parkway will become a real road. A fire-type road could fill the requirements of the ingress/egress problem. This could be a dirt/gravel road at least 20’ wide. However, this road should have an 8 percent grade. Some shorter areas could be as steep as 10 percent, but most of the road would need to be at the 8 percent grade. The Hansen family may have to get an easement through some property next to Hodges Canyon to make this road workable.
No action was taken on this subdivision by the City Council.
There was a short discussion regarding the resolution proposed by Bear Lake Watch to save Bear Lake. Currently, there is a group of people in the Salt Lake City Area that would like to make sure that the Great Salt Lake be maintained at a certain water height. That group is working on a resolution that would allow them to pull water from Bear Lake if the Great Salt Lake goes down below a certain level.
A suggestion was made that it might be a good idea to allow fences between commercial and residential areas to go as high as eight feet. Currently, fences can be six feet high. It was noted that this item could be put on next month’s agenda as well as have a public hearing on this matter.
The height of homes in the Beach Zone should be changed to 35 feet. Currently, homes in that zone can have a height of 25 feet. However, because of the number of trees and other things along the lake, 35 feet would not actually change what people can see of the lake while driving down the road. This would require an ordinance change which should be handled by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Mayor asked that this item be placed on the Planning and Zoning’s next agenda.
