GARDEN CITY, Utah. March 6, 2019. There were two items for discussion on the agenda. The first was a discussion/approval of a PUD development plan for Waterdance located at approximately 185 South 100 West. It will be a rental home community with single family, multi-family, and condo units, together with associated amenities such as parking and open space. It will be on 15.92 acres and is owned by Norman Mecham.
As the Commission looked at the plan Mecham had given everyone, it was noted that it could only be a conceptual plan since there was a lack of information. There were no measurements to determine how large or small any of the buildings would be. In addition, there were no estimates of approximately how many people would be housed in this PUD. There were a few spots indicating where parking would be, but no numbers of spaces or sizes of the spaces. Mecham had requested that his PUD be divided into 15 phases. The phases were not marked on the plan.
Mecham said that he would like to complete one phase at a time. The Commission asked that he keep to that plan and make sure one phase is completed and left neat and landscaped prior to moving on to the next phase.
It was shown that there were areas where dumpsters would be placed. However, it was suggested that perhaps cans would be better to use. Also, it was noted that if the dumpsters are where people can see them, they will be filled by more than those living in this PUD. Also, the dumpsters need to be placed so that the garbage trucks don’t have to back up onto the main roads.
The City is responsible for the road on the north which connects First West with Third West near the development. It will be completed in the future and will be an asphalted road.
The Commission requested that Mecham get the preliminary plan for phase one drawn up so that all can see how and when it is going to be completed. The motion was made that he gets this information to the Commission in the next week so that they can make better decisions concerning phase one.
The question was asked by one of the Commission Members if First West wouls be widened. Currently, it is quite narrow and could become congested when the PUD is completed. It was also noted that bike path is right along the front of Waterdance. It was suggested that this item be looked into as well.
The next Item was a discussion concerning food trucks. Mark Smoot has offered some land that could be used for a year or two in order to see if food trucks could be successful in Garden City. This land is located on the corner of Bear Lake Blvd. and 200 North. The ingress/egress will be from 200 North. The trucks could be placed in a semi-circle, with parking behind. There is plenty of parking. This, however, is part of Smoot’s development and could only be used for the one or two years. After that, if the food trucks were successful, another location will be needed. If food trucks are allowed, a temporary food truck zone overlay would have to be placed over the current zone.
There will need to be a public hearing next month to see if the members of the community would like to see food trucks in Garden City. The hearing will allow them to give their opinions on this possibility.
Gabe from the Lazy D which is owned by Deloy Hansen was at the meeting. He wanted to know if a conditional use permit would be required for some new homes that will be built. They will, however, be built in areas where other buildings have been taken down. Members of the Commission said that if the buildings were no larger than the buildings that are being replaced, they would not need a conditional use permit.
