GARDEN CITY, Utah.  March 4, 2020. The Oath of Office for two new Planning Commission members was given.  Sworn into this position were Kendra Bjoralt and Burt Carlisle. 

Because of the many changes in the Planning Commission, a new Chair and new Vice Chair were needed.  Dan Kurek was voted in as the new Chair and Joey Stocking was voted in as the Vice Chair.

A discussion was held concerning Phase 2 of Waterdance PUD located at approximately 185 South 100 West.  This subdivision is being developed by Norm Mecham.  It was noted that there were some discrepancies between the Final Plat and the construction drawings.  It was decided to postpone making any decisions on this project to next month so that the discrepancies can be resolved.

Jeff Jorgensen is currently involved in the Long Ridge Development.  Jorgensen’s career has been dealing with ordinances and creating subdivisions that are well designed.  He addressed the Planning Commission showing them how to take care of density, lot sizes, maximum numbers of lots in a subdivision, and building lot requirements.  He proposed changes to preliminary and final plat requirements.  He also talked about proposed changes related to open space requirements.  The information was well presented and will help the Planning Commission make ordinance changes and allow more variety and beauty to future developments.
