Garden City Town Report Nov. 10, 2022

 The General Plan was updated and reviewed by the Council. An open house will be held later. You may review the plan at the City Office.

Public Comment: Bess asked if it were possible to keep some of the sidewalks open during the snow days. The Council will work with the Chamber to have businesses to keep their part of the sidewalk open. Glen will talk with the snowplow group to not pile the snow in front of the sidewalks and bike path.

PID discussion. This is a Public Infrastructure District which allows extra mills on projects which of course is passed onto the buyer. The City has the ability to limit the mills per project. The City needs to make a decision about what to allow.

PUD discussion on the final for Phase 1, Bear Lake Vista. The Council asked for a letter of approval for the use of the Rich County Historical Road. Blue Vista will upgrade the road along their project. Some discussion was held on the possibility of a traffic light in the area or at least a yellow flashing light. Another requirement was for a letter from UDOT asking if the City needed curb and gutter at the entrance of the project. The final was approved.

The PUD for the Final for Phase 2 on 2nd North was approved.

Resolution and discussion for updating the Garden City Building permit plan review fee. The problem is that some are well-prepared and some have to come back many times which is a cost to the City. Glen will find out how much each additional visit will cost the City and present that next month.

Ordinance discussing adding commercial parking lots as a conditional use permit to the c-2 and c-3 zones. This was approved.

Other discussion talking points was allowing 12% road grades in special exceptions; an ordinance on Filming Restrictions; resolutin to fine for occupying before a certificate of occupancy was given; and resolution changing how to pay the building inspector and his fees.

Short term rentals approved

Miscellaneous: Discussion of roads in Garden City.
