[0:00] All
[0:03] right.
[0:06] >> Ready. All right. Call this meeting to
[0:08] order. It's the planning commission
[0:10] meeting. It's current or it's May 13th,
[0:12] 2026. Currently 6 p.m. We'll start with
[0:14] the pledge of allegiance.
[0:17] » I aliance to the flag of the United
[0:21] States of America and to the republic
[0:24] for which it stands. One nation under
[0:27] God, indivisible, with liberty and
[0:29] justice for all.
[0:33] >> Roll call.
[0:34] >> Dan here.
[0:35] >> Bradley Fra here.
[0:36] >> Ryan here.
[0:37] >> G Hood and Lee Freish are not present.
[0:40] They couldn't make it. All right. You
[0:42] guys have any conflicts of interest to
[0:44] disclose?
[0:45] >> I have a conflict of interest on one of
[0:47] the items on the agenda. So, I just I
[0:50] propose we table it.
[0:51] >> Okay. Anyone else?
[0:55] All right, then we'll just start with
[0:56] item number one, the conditional use
[0:59] permit application for an accessory
[1:01] building larger than the given square
[1:03] footage at 1614 North Apple Valley
[1:05] Drive, AB 1334 T1. You want to go up and
[1:10] present it?
[1:12] The applicant is here and so is the
[1:14] engineer, but I think I could probably
[1:16] answer most your questions.
[1:18] So, if you guys had a chance to look at
[1:20] this at all, uh, when he first came to
[1:23] my office,
[1:25] I told him I was just meeting with him
[1:27] to humor him because, uh, it's a pretty
[1:28] big building. Um, what what he there's
[1:31] some interesting um, facts that go along
[1:34] with this, though. So, he's proposing a
[1:36] 15,000 foot shop on his two acres over
[1:39] here. Um, my son thought was, of course,
[1:42] his neighbors are not going to be happy
[1:43] about that. Um, but remember the
[1:46] loophole in our ordinance? he can build
[1:49] four 4,000 foot buildings.
[1:52] So, he doesn't even need a conditional
[1:54] use permit for that. Right now, he can
[1:55] go over there and build four 4,000 foot
[1:57] buildings. Um, this does not cover up
[2:00] 50% of his lot. So, he could do that
[2:02] between his house. Not even close. He's
[2:04] not even close to covering up even close
[2:06] to half of his lot. Um, so that was
[2:08] something to take into consideration.
[2:11] But the biggest deciding factor was he
[2:13] brought me a paper you should have in
[2:15] front of you with signatures from his
[2:17] neighbors saying that they're okay with
[2:19] this. Um he brought me the first one and
[2:22] he had it on a notebook with all the
[2:24] plans behind it and everything. Um one
[2:27] of the neighbors said he didn't want
[2:28] anything there at all and um I
[2:31] understood that but I told him there's
[2:32] nothing I can do. He has 4,000 square
[2:35] feet. um he felt that maybe uh people
[2:39] weren't informed on how big this
[2:41] actually was. So I went to the applicant
[2:44] and said, "Hey, I need you to do me
[2:46] something. I need you to get this form
[2:48] you already have and I want you to put
[2:50] right on here. The building will be 250
[2:51] ft long, 60 ft deep, 25 ft tall, 15,000
[2:55] ft², and get all those people to sign it
[2:57] again." So he did that. He got them all
[2:59] to sign it again and even got another
[3:00] signature on top of that. So, I put that
[3:02] map for you guys so you guys can kind of
[3:04] see who said they're fine with it. Um,
[3:07] the only people in this uh
[3:10] in his immediate area that you can see
[3:12] where I wrote no, uh, they don't want
[3:14] it. And I've told the applicant if it's
[3:16] approved and when he goes to pull his
[3:18] permit with the town, I'm going to
[3:20] request that he keeps it all the way in
[3:21] the back of the property and all the way
[3:23] to the east as far as he can to the
[3:25] existing building to keep it out of that
[3:28] person's line of sight since they didn't
[3:29] want it. I figured it's something we
[3:31] could do. I told him we would let him
[3:33] put it right up against the existing
[3:34] building even though the setback
[3:35] wouldn't be there and then I would not
[3:37] approve his final inspection or his co
[3:39] until he had relocated that building. So
[3:42] then it was within the proper setback.
[3:44] He had no problem with that. So I don't
[3:47] want to spin it one way or the other
[3:48] your guys's decision. Um those are just
[3:51] some of the facts. Like I said the key
[3:53] things are we tell them no. He's just
[3:55] going to go build four or 4,000t
[3:57] buildings. So, you're not going to get
[3:59] away from the s that square footage.
[4:01] He's allowed to do it. Um, it's just
[4:04] going to cost him more money and not be
[4:06] exactly what he wants. So, I'm kind of
[4:07] like, well, do we want to do that to
[4:09] him? Is there a reason? And then, uh,
[4:11] like I said, with his neighbor signing
[4:13] that that that for me, that went a long
[4:15] ways. Uh, but it's not my decision. It's
[4:17] your guys' decision. But that's some of
[4:19] the things that Wade has with me. Do you
[4:21] guys have any questions for me? Uh, do
[4:24] we are they going to speak or do we
[4:26] direct them to you or
[4:27] >> you can hit me? If I don't know it, I'll
[4:28] drag them up here. But,
[4:30] >> uh, this is where I'm at. So, you've got
[4:32] 80% that are four by my calculations.
[4:35] >> Uh,
[4:36] >> 80% what? What do you say? I'm sorry.
[4:37] >> Uh, you have 80% that are four.
[4:40] >> Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
[4:41] >> So, um, so I believe, you know, given
[4:44] the majority that that makes a majority.
[4:46] Um,
[4:47] >> it is a conditional release. So, I
[4:50] believe that if there's any change of
[4:51] usage that it has to come back to us to
[4:54] reapprove it.
[4:55] >> Yep.
[4:56] >> Uh the other thing I It's going to be
[4:58] right at the entrance of Apple Valley.
[5:00] Uh it's going to be one of the first
[5:01] things you see as you're around the
[5:03] corner right there. So, I would like to
[5:05] see the colors be subdued and desert,
[5:08] you know, something so they sort of
[5:09] blend in. They don't stand out.
[5:10] >> What do you have there now? It's an
[5:11] older house. And I know he had told me
[5:13] he plans on having the house match the
[5:16] building once he get one project at a
[5:18] time once the building's done. And he
[5:19] has two I think two or three other
[5:20] little buildings there that
[5:22] >> he wants it to look nice. I mean he said
[5:24] he told me he said those are nice. So I
[5:25] >> put that kind of money.
[5:26] >> That's exactly what he exactly.
[5:28] >> Once in a while people pick out colors
[5:30] around here sort of.
[5:31] >> He said he wants to get rid of the one
[5:32] building and the one building that
[5:34] >> one building that was nice he wants to
[5:36] keep that one but he wants to make
[5:37] everything match and make it look nice.
[5:38] Like you said, I mean, this is
[5:40] >> going to be a million-dollar building
[5:41] was my guess once he's setting down with
[5:43] sprinklers and all that stuff. So, he
[5:45] definitely wants to make it look nice,
[5:46] and I agree with you.
[5:47] >> Yeah. Okay. All right.
[5:49] >> Anything else?
[5:49] >> Any questions, Dan? Anything?
[5:52] >> Okay. You guys have any questions about
[5:55] >> No, I'm I'm with the mayor. When I first
[5:57] seen it, I thought that's pretty huge,
[5:59] but once you once I see all the
[6:00] neighbors are good with it, my feeling
[6:02] is if the neighbors are good with it, I
[6:05] shouldn't have any issue with it. Um,
[6:08] if you guys got any other questions or
[6:10] comments, the applicants here, but I'm
[6:13] good with it.
[6:17] » All right, then I'll make a motion. Um,
[6:20] I motion that we approve the conditional
[6:22] use permit application for an accessory
[6:24] building larger than the given square
[6:26] footage at 1614 North Upper Valley
[6:29] Drive, AV1334T1.
[6:33] » Second.
[6:33] >> Motion second. Let's take a vote. I
[6:36] >> I motion carries. Far as item number
[6:39] two, um Stuart Writing with the conflict
[6:43] of interest will have to abstain. So we
[6:45] don't have a full quorum. So I'll just
[6:47] make a motion that we table the
[6:48] application from Steuart Writing to
[6:50] remodel and replace an existing
[6:51] structure at 1456 North Mount Zion
[6:55] Drive.

[7:11] draft minutes planning commission
