Okay, we want to welcome you to our city
[0:09]
council work meeting. It is August the
[0:12]
20th. The first thing we're going to
[0:15]
talk about is our Herford Tomato Days
[0:17]
community dinner. So, I kind of went
[0:19]
through and wrote, you know, made this
[0:21]
sheet that we could maybe make some
[0:23]
notes on it. Um, if there's Oh, I didn't
[0:26]
push that over. Sorry.
[0:28]
Far enough. So, I went through the food
[0:31]
that we had talked about that I thought
[0:34]
if we could just
[0:36]
maybe write down who we think, you know,
[0:39]
wants to be over that. I just put I
[0:42]
wasn't sure. So, if I put your name and
[0:44]
you don't want to do that, that doesn't
[0:45]
necessarily mean that you have to. So,
[0:48]
but anyway, so um first off the bat,
[0:52]
we're doing those pulled pork sandwiches
[0:54]
and Chad Funk said they will they will
[0:56]
purchase the meat from Costco. they will
[0:59]
get all that smoked like they did last
[1:00]
year. So as far as the meat, we don't
[1:02]
need to worry about that at all.
[1:05]
>> So the buns and I think Dale you had
[1:06]
mentioned one. So you're getting
[1:08]
>> through Bimbo bakeries. Yep. They will
[1:09]
donate [clears throat]
[1:10]
all the all that kind of stuff.
[1:12]
>> Okay. So I'm just going to because I I
[1:14]
put Dale because I didn't know. So we'll
[1:15]
just plan on Dell. Okay. Do you
[1:20]
» Bimbo Bakeries
[1:24]
» huge warehouse?
[1:27]
So, do you need help picking those up or
[1:29]
you'll just pick them up?
[1:31]
>> Yep, I'll pick them up.
[1:32]
>> Okay. So, um I thought if you're okay
[1:34]
with this, I would just buy the other
[1:36]
food because then I could use the Sam's
[1:38]
Club card so we wouldn't have to worry
[1:40]
about anybody paying for it. And so, I
[1:43]
wrote down like, well, you'll see. Um,
[1:45]
are you still okay D with corn?
[1:47]
>> Corn will be okay.
[1:48]
>> So, we talked about, but I didn't know.
[1:49]
You tell me what you think about if we
[1:52]
had 750 cobs, maybe cut some of them in
[1:55]
half because you know sometimes
[1:56]
>> we did last year, didn't we?
[1:57]
>> We did. That's what I cut them in half.
[1:59]
>> So, do you think that's too many then?
[2:01]
750.
[2:02]
>> How much we have left over last year?
[2:04]
>> You know, I don't remember. We
[2:06]
>> not very much.
[2:06]
>> I don't think there was a whole lot.
[2:08]
>> Like a half.
[2:09]
>> Yeah, I know. It was took us a long time
[2:10]
to husk it out and break like five.
[2:15]
>> Whatever. Yeah. Was that what you
[2:16]
brought last year?
[2:17]
>> Gosh, I don't remember. I'd have to look
[2:19]
on the receipt, but that probably about
[2:21]
that.
[2:22]
>> I couldn't remember last week.
[2:24]
>> And Brian, you'll be in charge of the
[2:25]
corn.
[2:26]
>> Uh, not this year
[2:28]
>> because Monday the 31st does not work
[2:30]
for me.
[2:31]
>> Oh, no.
[2:32]
>> And I just saw that today and I'm like,
[2:34]
who decided on Monday?
[2:36]
>> That's when we did it last year was the
[2:38]
Monday before instead of the Friday.
[2:40]
>> Wasn't it Saturday?
[2:41]
No, we did it last year Monday because
[2:44]
when we did it on the f we used to do it
[2:46]
on Friday and then it ended up being a
[2:48]
real conflict with like sporting event.
[2:52]
Yeah. With with football.
[2:53]
>> I thought we switched to Saturday.
[2:55]
>> No, it we had it on it was on Monday.
[2:58]
>> I know we did because we had a conflict
[3:00]
on Friday and we switched it to Saturday
[3:02]
>> a couple years ago.
[3:04]
>> It could have been since I've been doing
[3:06]
tomato days quite a few years. We did it
[3:09]
on Friday, but I know last year it was
[3:11]
on Monday.
[3:13]
>> It would have been nice to have a
[3:15]
discussion about the date, but
[3:18]
>> I actually show it
[3:20]
>> on Monday,
[3:22]
>> August 25th.
[3:23]
>> Yeah. And I think and I remember the
[3:25]
very first time we switched it to
[3:26]
Friday, we thought because it used to be
[3:29]
on Saturday and then they would have the
[3:30]
concert
[3:32]
>> after and it made it a little bit
[3:34]
difficult. Well, well, okay. Years ago,
[3:36]
they did the dinner and then they did
[3:37]
the movie. on Friday.
[3:40]
>> And that was on on Friday.
[3:42]
>> Friday.
[3:43]
>> Yeah. So, it's been a little bit, but
[3:45]
then last year, so
[3:48]
>> I mean, I'll do my best, but I I had no
[3:50]
idea it was going to be next Monday.
[3:53]
>> Yeah, it's a panic. It's that soon.
[3:55]
Well,
[3:55]
>> okay. So, cut the cobs in half. That's
[3:57]
what we need to fill in.
[3:59]
>> We can do that, right?
[4:00]
>> We got to shuck it. We got to cut them.
[4:02]
We got to cook it. We got to get all the
[4:04]
pans. We got to get the burners. We got
[4:07]
to Well, the do all
[4:09]
>> so we can we can have those. I think the
[4:11]
city workers will bring down the city,
[4:15]
>> the burners. It's people though um
[4:18]
getting it hust
[4:23]
» and knives.
[4:24]
>> You just break.
[4:26]
>> A lot of them you can break.
[4:28]
>> Yeah, you can.
[4:29]
>> We can get Lizzy board.
[4:31]
>> How many people do you think you need,
[4:33]
Ryan? And we could just say each of us
[4:35]
bring so many.
[4:36]
>> We had about eight last year I think
[4:39]
probably because we had several several
[4:41]
city employees came and helped
[4:43]
>> I'd say 8 to 10
[4:45]
>> I don't have nothing that day I can be
[4:47]
there all day
[4:48]
>> planning commission people came and
[4:50]
helped
[4:50]
>> my wife I'm sure she would come and help
[4:53]
>> she'll cover it for you I'll do the best
[4:56]
I can I promise I'll try and
[4:58]
>> I know I know you will
[4:59]
>> it would just be nice to know
[5:02]
>> well I think we just
[5:03]
>> the week before
[5:04]
>> yeah just went by the same schedule as
[5:06]
last year because we felt like we had a
[5:08]
better turnout.
[5:09]
>> Okay. Well, that beable that we're going
[5:10]
to do that next year while we're here
[5:12]
right now just a month ahead.
[5:15]
>> It it really did work out really pretty
[5:17]
good because there was nothing else and
[5:19]
we called it the family dinner night and
[5:21]
then we had that dance and
[5:23]
>> so how many people do each of us need to
[5:26]
bring in?
[5:27]
>> What if we each just if you could we
[5:28]
could each bring two and we could also
[5:30]
ask planning commission what what time
[5:33]
of the day did you meet down there to
[5:35]
start doing it?
[5:36]
like 2:00.
[5:38]
>> I think it was like 1 or two.
[5:40]
>> So, do you want to say
[5:41]
>> What time does dinner start?
[5:42]
>> It start dinner starts at 6.
[5:44]
>> Yeah, because it don't take long to cook
[5:45]
it. We cook.
[5:46]
>> Why don't we start? Yeah. I don't know.
[5:47]
I was thinking maybe noon that
[5:49]
>> I'd rather be rather be ahead.
[5:51]
>> I would say by the latest 1:00 probably.
[5:55]
>> So, what
[5:56]
>> what kind of problem do we run into
[5:59]
freshness wise with the corn if we
[6:01]
started in the morning when it's a lot
[6:02]
cooler? Or is that bad for you guys? I I know it is for you.
[6:07]
>> I know. Well, afternoon is going to be
[6:09]
better for me because I can probably
[6:12]
>> work the morning till 1 and then be off
[6:16]
at one.
[6:19]
» We did it under We did it last year.
[6:23]
>> That big tree. We did it under
[6:24]
>> Yeah, we did.
[6:25]
>> If we throw it in water, it'll it'll be
[6:27]
okay. Cool water.
[6:29]
>> Okay.
[6:30]
>> And then just How long do we need to
[6:32]
cook it?
[6:33]
>> Hour. Well, everybody's got their
[6:34]
thought, but you know, mine's you bring
[6:36]
water to boil, cook it for six minutes,
[6:38]
and you're done.
[6:39]
>> Yeah.
[6:40]
>> Once you boil
[6:40]
>> once you get the water boiling, it
[6:42]
>> it cooks fast.
[6:42]
>> Yeah, I know. Last year we got a problem
[6:44]
and then just tossed it in and it went
[6:46]
quickly.
[6:47]
>> We had in fact um
[6:50]
>> planning commissioner was timing it for
[6:52]
us. We had four members from the
[6:54]
planning commission last year helping
[6:56]
us.
[6:57]
>> We could start cooking it at five and
[6:59]
have enough go.
[7:01]
>> Okay. Okay. So, what time did you decide
[7:02]
on then for us to be there to start?
[7:03]
1:00.
[7:04]
>> I think 1:00 good now.
[7:06]
>> Okay.
[7:07]
>> I will do like 90% sure I can be there,
[7:10]
but
[7:11]
>> Okay.
[7:11]
>> You know what? If it's a big deal, don't
[7:13]
worry about it because we can do it.
[7:14]
>> Okay. Ryan, I can remember.
[7:15]
>> I can't do it without you, Ryan.
[7:18]
>> It's okay.
[7:19]
>> Ryan, last year did we So, we talked
[7:21]
about whether to get the little
[7:22]
individual butters or have butter in a
[7:24]
crock pot and dip it in and we couldn't
[7:27]
remember. Some thought that the little
[7:28]
packs were individual little packs made
[7:32]
it more [clears throat] sanitary kept
[7:33]
fly.
[7:35]
>> Okay. So, so I'll just get the small
[7:37]
butter packages.
[7:38]
>> Yes.
[7:39]
>> Okay. Okay. Um tomatoes still. Are you
[7:43]
okay?
[7:44]
>> You want to be able to pull through on
[7:45]
tomatoes? At least from what we've
[7:47]
grown. I I don't know where we're going
[7:48]
to find tomatoes this year.
[7:49]
>> We'll find tomatoes. It's going to be
[7:51]
difficult.
[7:51]
>> Kent, we got them from Kent one year.
[7:54]
>> Okay. Do you want me to ask Kent? We
[7:56]
have an with them.
[7:59]
>> Do you remember at all how many we did?
[8:01]
I didn't know like a bush. I
[8:04]
>> a bushel would be enough. I think
[8:06]
>> was it just a half a bushel?
[8:08]
>> Could have been.
[8:09]
>> Was it a full bush?
[8:10]
>> I bet we can put an order in like with
[8:13]
Cedar Crest Farms or Venus or somebody.
[8:15]
>> Uh probably not. Cedar Crest. I'm not
[8:18]
sure.
[8:18]
>> I'll talk to
[8:19]
>> Peterson. Talk to
[8:20]
>> Oh, yeah. I Peterson too. Yeah. Oh, K
[8:23]
there's local from
[8:25]
>> I'm going to do you down.
[8:26]
>> Okay, I'll find I'll How many you want?
[8:28]
Half bushel tomatoes. Is that what we're
[8:29]
looking for?
[8:30]
>> So Ray's there for tomatoes.
[8:32]
>> I don't know.
[8:33]
>> Half bushel is not that many. Let's do a
[8:34]
full bushel.
[8:35]
>> Okay, do a bushel and then I think last
[8:38]
year Aaron and her mom sliced them, but
[8:40]
I I don't know that we can count on
[8:43]
that. I mean, we can ask her because
[8:45]
Aaron's helping this year with tomato.
[8:47]
>> Did you use a slicer one time?
[8:48]
>> I've done it every year, but last year.
[8:50]
>> Every year, right? the tomatoes with a
[8:52]
electric slicer.
[8:54]
>> That's a manual
[8:55]
>> or manual.
[8:56]
>> It works good once you get the process
[8:58]
going.
[8:58]
>> Do you want me to ask Aaron if she could
[9:00]
do help with that or do you
[9:04]
>> get somebody to do it?
[9:04]
>> Absolutely.
[9:06]
Do it.
[9:07]
>> Yeah.
[9:08]
>> Many hands make light work.
[9:09]
>> Okay.
[9:10]
>> So, you're going to ask Kent or do you
[9:12]
want me to call him?
[9:12]
>> Ray said he
[9:13]
>> I'll find the
[9:15]
Okay. So, then we talked about somewhat
[9:19]
>> pink
[9:21]
They don't work in the slicer if they're
[9:23]
>> It's really really good. [clears throat]
[9:24]
>> Yeah.
[9:26]
>> Okay.
[9:27]
>> I'll figure out
[9:28]
>> pinkish.
[9:28]
>> Are you still over slicing?
[9:30]
>> No.
[9:31]
>> That's going right to
[9:33]
her.
[9:34]
>> Kids, I'd say I'll get the tomatoes.
[9:36]
Just won't tell you where.
[9:38]
>> You'd have a hard time stealing them
[9:40]
this year, Larry. They're not in here.
[9:42]
>> Okay. Then we talked about large
[9:43]
pickles. They said last year they just
[9:45]
had barbecue sauce that was in the
[9:47]
bottles that people just put it on it.
[9:49]
if they wanted it. Loft House is
[9:51]
donating the cookies. We have to pick
[9:53]
those up the Tuesday before the um Julie
[9:56]
Lloyd is donating the water. The tables
[9:59]
will already be down there, but then we
[10:00]
just have to set up the tables. Jamie
[10:03]
will have tablecloths because she orders
[10:05]
those with all of them. And then I'll
[10:06]
just go. We thought probably those um
[10:08]
clamshell things again. Those were a
[10:11]
little easier for parents to help carry.
[10:13]
>> So, we'll get those. And then the
[10:15]
napkin, silverware. Okay. So, in the
[10:18]
past, Well, you know, I should have
[10:20]
thought buns. This is just for the
[10:22]
dinner. It's not for things.
[10:24]
>> Yeah. Only the dinner.
[10:25]
>> The rest of tomato days. All you want me
[10:27]
to do is get enough just for the dinner.
[10:28]
>> Y500.
[10:30]
Is that
[10:31]
>> Yeah. So, I put down some ideas. We've
[10:34]
had help serve before. I don't know who
[10:36]
you want to have help serve. We've
[10:39]
sometimes, like I said, share a fire or
[10:41]
family. Sometimes missionaries have
[10:43]
came. And one thing that's really
[10:44]
beneficial is we have people there to
[10:46]
help carry plates because sometimes
[10:49]
you'll have a mom come up and she has
[10:50]
three kids so she's trying to carry, you
[10:53]
know, four plates. So, do you have a
[10:56]
preference over who we ask to come and
[10:59]
help serve?
[11:01]
>> I've got good connections with the
[11:03]
missionaries. I can call them.
[11:05]
>> Okay.
[11:05]
>> And they might be able to even get the
[11:07]
ones from West.
[11:10]
They are always looking for service
[11:12]
projects. I think I'll miss
[11:16]
>> sheriff and fire are always
[11:17]
>> Do you want me to ask the sheriff and
[11:19]
fire?
[11:20]
>> Okay. And then if we have any and if we
[11:22]
had missionaries, they could also help
[11:24]
carry plates.
[11:25]
>> Yes.
[11:26]
>> Okay. Um so then [clears throat] there
[11:28]
has to be a donation table. So there's a
[11:30]
popup. The city has a popup that we can
[11:33]
use. We just need to put it up. We put a
[11:35]
table underneath it and Jamie will get
[11:38]
the cash box. But we need a couple of
[11:39]
volunteers sitting there to take the
[11:42]
money. So I don't know if any wives want
[11:45]
to sit there take the money. If you have
[11:48]
kids,
[11:50]
anybody
[11:51]
>> I can pretty I can get that covered the
[11:53]
cash box.
[11:54]
>> Okay. You'll cover You'll get the
[11:56]
volunteers to take the money.
[11:57]
>> Yeah.
[12:00]
>> She did.
[12:02]
Stan's wife helped.
[12:05]
>> Jackie. [clears throat]
[12:07]
Okay. Hello. You let us know when you're
[12:09]
ready.
[12:10]
>> Sure. Yep. Thank you. Okay. And then I
[12:14]
just put clean up even though we already
[12:15]
know we have to clean up. But is there
[12:17]
any other that you that I've missed on
[12:20]
this that you can think
[12:23]
>> I was there just to serve last year
[12:25]
because of other obligations. So I don't
[12:28]
even know what uh
[12:30]
>> Can you think of anything Ryan or Dell
[12:34]
that's done this before that I'm
[12:36]
missing?
[12:37]
Oh, well, I was going to say salt and
[12:39]
pepper, but it's in the packet. We do
[12:41]
those napkins that have the salt and
[12:43]
pepper in the packet with the
[12:45]
silverware.
[12:47]
>> How many people did we have come through
[12:49]
last year?
[12:50]
>> So, we plan on 1500. We we they they
[12:53]
completely ran out of the pulp pork last
[12:56]
year.
[12:57]
>> So, we just did the same number again.
[13:01]
1500 unless you think we should change
[13:03]
that. He had a little bit that had
[13:05]
scorched in the bottom. So he said he
[13:08]
maybe could have had, you know, like he
[13:10]
had some in the bottom. He said, "Well,
[13:11]
we're not serving."
[13:12]
>> Yep. How far did we run out?
[13:15]
>> Oh, we were good at the end.
[13:16]
>> It was at the very end.
[13:17]
>> Okay.
[13:18]
>> I mean, I don't I don't wouldn't say we
[13:19]
necessarily ran out. I think we just got
[13:21]
to the end. And he said, "Well, I still
[13:23]
could have served some of this, but it
[13:25]
might be a little more."
[13:26]
>> So, I do know that there was probably 30
[13:28]
or 40 watermelons left over last year.
[13:31]
>> I do remember water.
[13:33]
>> Okay. All right.
[13:34]
>> Because that was just a lot of work
[13:37]
>> and it was so much leftover and we're
[13:39]
not doing baked beans because it's hard
[13:42]
and they're and the baked beans end up
[13:44]
more Yeah, they're really expensive.
[13:46]
>> They are more expensive than the pulled
[13:47]
pork.
[13:48]
>> So,
[13:49]
>> even though they're good.
[13:51]
>> Yeah, they were they were really good.
[13:54]
>> Okay. Does this sound like good then?
[13:56]
Anything? Because I told Jamie, you
[13:58]
know, I make sure we went over this so
[14:00]
they don't have to worry about it. is
[14:02]
going to be
[14:03]
>> so [clears throat] 1:00 and somebody
[14:05]
will be there to tell me what to do,
[14:06]
right?
[14:08]
>> Shut corn. Okay, I can do it.
[14:10]
>> I'll bring there was an issue with the
[14:12]
tomatoes last year when they sliced
[14:14]
them.
[14:15]
>> They didn't put them in the tubs and put
[14:17]
them in the fridge.
[14:18]
>> You know how those little tubs we have?
[14:20]
>> Yeah.
[14:21]
>> Seems like there's like six or eight of
[14:22]
those. [snorts]
[14:24]
>> We do have the tubs I think are down in
[14:25]
the rodeo.
[14:26]
>> They just need to make sure they slice
[14:27]
them and get them in the fridge like
[14:29]
>> pronto. There are some new health
[14:32]
department people.
[14:34]
One of them is really really strict,
[14:36]
which is okay, but but they they are
[14:40]
really So, we just you're right. We need
[14:42]
to get them right in the fridge because
[14:44]
they actually they for the um queen
[14:47]
contest, the junior queen, they actually
[14:49]
brought a thermometer, stuck it in the
[14:51]
fridge, and said our fridge wasn't cold
[14:54]
enough.
[14:57]
>> So,
[14:58]
>> wow. It's usually [clears throat] The
[15:00]
temperature of the pork is what they're
[15:02]
worried about.
[15:03]
>> Yeah. No, they
[15:03]
>> the hot stuff.
[15:04]
>> Yeah, they were checking.
[15:05]
>> Now they're checking the cold stuff.
[15:07]
>> They were checking the fridge
[15:09]
that we set up.
[15:14]
» So we know we did so we know next year.
[15:16]
>> Yes.
[15:17]
>> Let's keep track of it.
[15:19]
>> Yeah.
[15:21]
Okay. So, the next thing we were going
[15:22]
to talk about in our work meeting, so
[15:25]
Alan Coleman, our um ordinance officer,
[15:29]
had came and said, "Some cities have an
[15:32]
ordinance that allows us to be able to
[15:34]
take care of some of these ordinances."
[15:36]
I mentioned that to Darren and lo and
[15:37]
behold, he had one.
[15:39]
>> Yeah. And I'm happy to talk about it
[15:41]
right now. I'm ready.
[15:42]
>> Yes. Okay.
[15:43]
>> Um so, I've been working on this with
[15:45]
South Salt Lake. Their code
[15:48]
[clears throat] was not very clear on
[15:52]
code enforcement. It was just everywhere
[15:53]
throughout the code. So when I created
[15:55]
this, it was kind of put all the normal
[15:58]
issues the cities deal with all in one
[16:00]
spot. And so she asked me this question.
[16:03]
I sent it and I hadn't yet looked at our
[16:06]
ordinance regarding these issues. And we
[16:09]
already have one. We already have a
[16:11]
pretty good ordinance for code
[16:13]
enforcement. Um so our 941 is actually
[16:18]
decent.
[16:20]
So I'm wondering what he's saying are
[16:22]
the concerns.
[16:24]
>> Well, what one thing he he said is some
[16:26]
he thought so the city had the ability
[16:29]
to be able to put a lean on the prox so
[16:33]
we I think it was last year or maybe the
[16:35]
year before we kind of beefed up our fee
[16:37]
schedule and said they would be charged
[16:39]
per day but but then we don't really
[16:41]
ever do that. But I thought he said
[16:43]
there was some ordinances that actually
[16:46]
the city could do an abatement and
[16:49]
without having to like having to go to
[16:52]
court or pay.
[16:53]
>> Correct.
[16:53]
>> And ours already says that
[16:55]
>> ours already has we [clears throat]
[16:56]
already have an abatement procedure.
[16:58]
>> So if somebody is given notice that they
[17:01]
have that longer than what's required
[17:04]
for a code or if they have waste that's
[17:06]
being kept in their yard, we can give
[17:08]
them notice and we can go in and
[17:11]
actually abate the property and charge
[17:13]
them for the abatement.
[17:15]
>> Okay. Okay. And then at the same time,
[17:17]
our code has an ability to give
[17:18]
citations daily per the fee schedule. So
[17:22]
I'm wondering
[17:23]
>> who gives those citations. It would just
[17:25]
come from the office.
[17:26]
>> The county it could be an enforcement
[17:29]
official. So it could be any person that
[17:31]
works for the city that's designated as
[17:33]
the enforcement official. I have to look
[17:34]
at the definition for that for our code.
[17:36]
Usually it's anybody that works for the
[17:37]
city.
[17:38]
>> Okay.
[17:38]
>> Um but we've hired somebody from the
[17:40]
county.
[17:43]
>> They would be our un enforcement
[17:45]
official that could issue citations,
[17:48]
>> okay,
[17:49]
>> for all of these things that are in his
[17:52]
code. So, I maybe I need to talk to him
[17:55]
and see what his concern is and what's
[17:57]
lacking.
[17:58]
>> I'll send you I'll send you his
[17:59]
information, his email and his phone
[18:02]
number and that would probably be good
[18:03]
because he maybe has he he is really and
[18:07]
he's he's wants to come to one of our
[18:08]
meetings, but six o'clock he doesn't
[18:11]
want to come. if if we could do it
[18:13]
earlier in the day, he would sooner
[18:15]
because it's, you know, he's off work.
[18:17]
I'll tell you though, he is doing a
[18:18]
great job. One thing that he's doing
[18:20]
differently that Iris did as he will
[18:22]
actually meet with the people and they
[18:24]
will come in, we sit down and meet like
[18:26]
there's that um property, you probably
[18:29]
all know which one I'm referring to,
[18:30]
that's up closer to, you know, Emma
[18:33]
Russell. And so they came in and and we
[18:35]
actually he said, you know, this is a
[18:37]
guideline. Um, waste management has got
[18:40]
given a dumpster and she's already
[18:42]
filled it twice and has dumped it twice
[18:45]
and waste management is paying for that.
[18:47]
But he does that. He sets up
[18:49]
appointments and they come in and meet
[18:51]
and then you know I it seems to be going
[18:53]
better because then there's a little bit
[18:55]
of accountability on the people's part
[18:57]
and it's been really good. He also has
[19:00]
some though that he has gone to meet
[19:01]
with they won't answer the door, won't
[19:03]
answer his letters and then that's what
[19:06]
he said now what do I do? So these are
[19:08]
based off citizens complaints.
[19:10]
>> Citizens complaints.
[19:12]
>> So they won't respond. But then he
[19:13]
hasn't issued him a citation.
[19:15]
>> Well, he hasn't because he didn't I
[19:18]
don't think he realized that he had that
[19:20]
ability to
[19:20]
>> Well, our code enforcement official
[19:22]
should be very much aware of our code
[19:25]
because that's what they're enforcing.
[19:27]
>> Okay.
[19:27]
>> Um so yeah, I'll have to meet with him.
[19:30]
>> Okay. if there's specific things that
[19:31]
he's saying like, "Oh, I wish we had
[19:34]
because that code that I've provided
[19:35]
with South Salt Lake has a lot of
[19:37]
different tools and I mean we could add
[19:38]
them in here." Um, but we this is pretty
[19:41]
good.
[19:41]
>> You think ours is a good enough
[19:44]
>> unless there's issues we're dealing with
[19:45]
that are different. Like if we're
[19:46]
dealing with just weeds, if we're
[19:48]
dealing with waste in people's property,
[19:50]
if if there's something more complicated
[19:52]
than that, then let me know and we can
[19:53]
make changes here. But I think that this
[19:55]
is pretty this is sufficient. A code
[19:57]
enforcement officer should come in with
[19:59]
this and have
[20:02]
ample tools to get work done in code
[20:05]
enforcement.
[20:06]
>> Well, he's he's extremely organized. He
[20:08]
said when he took over, maybe I've
[20:10]
already told you this, he was handed
[20:11]
this files and said, "Here you go." And
[20:15]
he said, "I don't work like that." So
[20:17]
when he comes, they're all organized,
[20:19]
all alphabetical. He has pictures. He
[20:22]
He's really good.
[20:23]
>> Who is it?
[20:23]
>> Um his name is Alan Coleman. And
[20:27]
contract with him with Weber County
[20:30]
>> and he's he's doing a great job.
[20:32]
>> So, he's the county guy.
[20:33]
>> He's the county. But but we also have
[20:35]
other ones that I don't know if they
[20:37]
necessarily fall within this because we
[20:39]
have we've had quite a few complaints
[20:42]
about semis being parked on the side of
[20:44]
the road.
[20:46]
>> I was just going to say, is there a
[20:47]
parking um code fall under this code as
[20:51]
well?
[20:52]
>> There might be except parking
[20:55]
>> this is for this chapter. Um, but I'll
[20:59]
look at
[20:59]
>> because we do have a parking ordinance
[21:00]
that we just talked about two or three
[21:02]
years ago
[21:04]
um that was
[21:07]
created to make some teeth for the
[21:09]
sheriff's department basically.
[21:11]
>> And it's it's based on a complaint thing
[21:14]
too. Somebody has to complain in order
[21:16]
>> for it to be
[21:17]
>> I'll have to look at that. I didn't know
[21:18]
that that was specific issue but I can
[21:20]
look at that.
[21:21]
>> Especially in the winter time
[21:22]
>> I mean it is like so cities will usually
[21:25]
section that says
[21:28]
enforcement officials can enforce any
[21:30]
violation of our code total and this is
[21:34]
more specific which isn't terrible but
[21:36]
it's more specific about the common
[21:39]
problems the cities have so I can look
[21:42]
into that further
[21:43]
>> okay well I will I'll give you his
[21:44]
information because he made it sound
[21:46]
because I think they do are I think he's
[21:49]
pretty aware of ours but I don't think
[21:50]
he felt like or maybe he was asking me
[21:53]
too who is the one that does that I I
[21:55]
don't know if he thought he was one that
[21:56]
is supposed to be doing that or if that
[21:59]
was somebody that we're supposed to in
[22:00]
the city and I I didn't know who that
[22:02]
person would be that could actually
[22:04]
issue tickets.
[22:05]
>> So he's 9 to5 with Weaver County Monday
[22:07]
through Friday.
[22:08]
>> And when does he do ours?
[22:10]
>> Um no we contract he he's out here
[22:14]
during the day. I don't think he is 9
[22:15]
to5.
[22:16]
>> He just responds on violations.
[22:18]
>> So we count
[22:20]
>> for anybody who contract
[22:21]
>> for anybody who is the county guy I
[22:24]
think. So, I'm just trying to think if
[22:25]
he's full time with Wever County, how
[22:26]
does he have time to do our stuff?
[22:28]
>> Yeah, he he comes here quite often.
[22:31]
>> I think he just comes here when he has a
[22:32]
complaint. I don't think we have a lot
[22:34]
of complaints,
[22:35]
>> but is he on their dime at the same
[22:36]
time?
[22:37]
>> Not sure how he gets paid.
[22:39]
[clears throat and cough]
[22:39]
>> I don't know that.
[22:40]
>> And that might fall under law
[22:41]
enforcement, too. That's possible.
[22:43]
>> Yeah. And law enforcement usually covers
[22:45]
parking issues
[22:46]
>> as well. So, was that how it was?
[22:49]
>> That's what it's been in the past.
[22:51]
>> Well, and Ryan, we we could even And we don't see in our budget where we're
[22:56]
paying him. So we don't know where we
[22:58]
don't know where it's lumped in with if
[23:00]
it's something else with Weaver County.
[23:03]
>> Mess it up.
[23:06]
» I mean it has to be
[23:08]
>> it has to be something with the
[23:09]
sheriff's contract. I mean it has to be
[23:11]
lumped in with some of our Weaver County
[23:13]
services is what I'm saying. It's not a
[23:15]
separate contract I don't believe with
[23:17]
him. I think it's in with some of our
[23:19]
Weber County
[23:21]
>> and that's probably why he can come.
[23:23]
Okay.
[23:23]
>> But is there any other concerns code
[23:25]
enforcement wise that's on the agenda?
[23:27]
Is there anything else that
[23:30]
there's an issue?
[23:32]
>> I think our code is pretty good.
[23:34]
>> Yeah, I read through that one there and
[23:36]
holy smokes. If everybody started
[23:38]
complaining about everything in that
[23:40]
code, uh, he couldn't do it in a nineto
[23:43]
five.
[23:44]
>> And it's it's more giving tools and
[23:46]
options for a code enforcement officer.
[23:48]
>> Okay.
[23:48]
>> I'm excited that we actually have a code
[23:50]
that you think is good.
[23:53]
How often you see noise ordinances for
[23:57]
noise violation?
[24:00]
>> Do we not have one?
[24:01]
>> I don't think we have one.
[24:02]
>> I see that.
[24:05]
>> We have some some complaints currently
[24:07]
relating to that
[24:09]
>> noise as far as what kind of noise
[24:13]
[clears throat]
[24:13]
>> huh?
[24:14]
>> Traps.
[24:15]
>> Oh, like engine brakes or something?
[24:17]
Because we we have one
[24:18]
>> cow's moving. We've had a component.
[24:20]
>> We We have one if someone's have, you
[24:22]
know, having a party going on.
[24:24]
>> Yeah. And that's and that's worked.
[24:26]
>> We have We have some occasionally loud
[24:29]
music in my area in my house that you
[24:31]
can hear from
[24:33]
>> in your house.
[24:34]
>> In the area around my house,
[24:37]
>> I didn't know if that's where it
[24:38]
originated.
[24:43]
» Are they next to a farm?
[24:45]
>> It's a commercial property. He has a
[24:48]
park.
[24:49]
a parking facility starting trucks early
[24:52]
in the morning. Okay. So, I was just
[24:54]
looking at how that code or not from
[24:57]
land use. I think they can do it, but
[25:02]
» Okay. Well, that's good. I'll get
[25:04]
>> That's a good question. How would we
[25:06]
enforce that
[25:08]
on that law?
[25:12]
» Is there any city council reports?
[25:14]
Anybody had anything? Well, I don't have
[25:15]
anything that's a report, but is
[25:17]
everybody getting these complaints that
[25:20]
we're not paying attention to?
[25:22]
>> Hey, let's not We don't need to bring
[25:23]
that up here. I would I would advise you
[25:25]
that we don't need to bring that up.
[25:28]
>> So, do we do we put it on
[25:31]
>> I mean,
[25:34]
you just don't want me to answer.
[25:36]
[laughter]
[25:38]
So, you know what I'm So, you're
[25:39]
familiar with what we're talking about,
[25:41]
but it it keeps coming up and we're not
[25:44]
>> I have addressed it in this meeting
[25:46]
already. I've addressed it. We put it on
[25:48]
the agenda once and we addressed it. If
[25:51]
it's something that you want to discuss,
[25:52]
you can put it on the agenda and you
[25:54]
have an avenue to put it on the agenda.
[25:55]
It's not on there now. So, I would
[25:57]
advise that we don't talk about it.
[25:59]
[clears throat]
[26:01]
>> Okay.
[26:04]
So, on our next meeting, not the
[26:07]
work meeting. We didn't get this put in
[26:10]
the packet. So, I didn't know. Darren, I
[26:12]
was going to ask you if we can still
[26:14]
discuss it and we can pass this out.
[26:16]
This was that transportation impact fee,
[26:18]
but because we didn't get it put in the
[26:20]
packet, do we need to wait and do that
[26:22]
at another meeting or can we pass this
[26:25]
out now? I didn't know.
[26:27]
>> Um I mean, I prefer that if we have
[26:30]
anything that's going to open up for
[26:31]
discussion
[26:32]
>> that it gets put on the agenda.
[26:34]
>> It's on the agenda. It's on the regular
[26:37]
meeting agenda. This year just didn't
[26:39]
get put in the packet. So, can we just
[26:41]
give this
[26:42]
>> It just needs to be um provided if it's
[26:46]
being provided here. So, just have
[26:48]
provided
[26:49]
in the minutes.
[26:50]
>> Is it a way that we could put it up on
[26:52]
the screen?
[26:55]
>> It was It was just a
[26:58]
>> Okay. Yeah, then we'll just put it up.
[27:00]
Okay. We'll let everybody just take one
[27:01]
now then because um Anyway. Okay.
[27:05]
So, if no one has any city council
[27:08]
reports, we have the Terara Strada and
[27:12]
AWA here with us and they're going to
[27:15]
have some time that we can sit around
[27:17]
the table and discuss
[27:21]
>> fill in.
[27:23]
I walked in the other room.
[27:25]
>> I saw the popcorn and I thought, "What
[27:27]
the heck?" You know,
[27:28]
>> sometimes we get popcorn to eat and it's
[27:31]
really good.
[27:33]
I was I grabbed a couple of things.
[27:35]
>> Staff makes great popcorn. There should
[27:37]
be some cups in there.
[27:39]
>> I hope I don't get
[27:41]
you.
[27:42]
>> Nunch.
[27:58]
Well, we'll just turn the time over to
[28:00]
you to kind of walk us through this. And
[28:03]
this is a time for council to ask any
[28:06]
questions. And this will come before the
[28:09]
council in a few weeks. It'll be on the
[28:12]
next planning commission meeting. And so
[28:15]
we thought it would be a good idea. They
[28:16]
sat down for about an hour with planning
[28:18]
commission. I thought that was really
[28:20]
beneficial because then it was more of a
[28:22]
chance to be able to ask questions,
[28:23]
discuss things, and
[28:26]
Before Troy starts, I just maybe say
[28:29]
something. You know, we're This is We
[28:32]
know this is new for the city. We've
[28:34]
been at it for a while, so we know it's
[28:36]
new.
[28:37]
Haven't had a retail store like this in
[28:39]
the city.
[28:41]
And so,
[28:43]
your staff's been really good. It's an
[28:46]
effort in your new
[28:49]
trying to redo development, make sure we
[28:52]
do it right. And so,
[28:56]
has been great through a lot and we're
[28:59]
kind of creating a will together.
[29:02]
I'm just saying
[29:06]
Detroit talks about it a little bit, but
[29:09]
it's really fortunate we have a probably
[29:14]
more of these type of things in the
[29:15]
state than any other engineering and
[29:18]
he's worked for a couple.
[29:26]
Anyway, [clears throat] I just want to
[29:27]
thank let's get going here and those
[29:32]
been a it's been quite a process. So,
[29:34]
thank you.
[29:34]
>> Okay,
[29:37]
>> we I thought it would be helpful just to
[29:39]
kind of start at the beginning of the
[29:40]
story and answer some of the questions
[29:42]
about why are we even doing this? So, I
[29:46]
started with the general plan future
[29:48]
land use element and just as just I
[29:52]
think everybody's familiar with the
[29:53]
general plan. The planning commission's
[29:55]
been working that over in every meeting
[29:57]
is [clears throat] what does the general
[29:58]
plan say and that that's just the read
[30:01]
off document for them. So, here's the
[30:03]
general plan and the property in
[30:04]
question shown in the red box and this
[30:06]
is what it says today. Now, today
[30:09]
there's a red portion and that's
[30:11]
commercial out front and so that use is
[30:13]
listed there. And in the back it's
[30:15]
purple which up there refers to 3/4 acre
[30:18]
lots. And so that is if we wanted to
[30:21]
move forward with a reszone, we wouldn't
[30:24]
have to do a general plan amendment. But
[30:26]
if for this particular project, there's
[30:28]
interest in a general plan amendment.
[30:30]
And what that really does is says we
[30:33]
want to expand the commercial a little
[30:35]
further back from what was previously
[30:37]
pictured and then add some highdensity
[30:40]
residential in the back piece. And the
[30:43]
interesting
[30:44]
>> careful with the high this is
[30:46]
>> I'm using I'm using [clears throat]
[30:48]
Yeah, it's true. I'm just using their
[30:50]
words and I'm using it from their code.
[30:53]
That way I'm not talking a different and I'll clarify when we say highdensity
[30:58]
residential what we mean. There's a
[31:01]
portion of that that would be covered
[31:02]
under the R3 zone which would be
[31:06]
third acre lots essentially or 13,000
[31:08]
square foot minimums and then we would
[31:10]
have the PUD portion of the zone that
[31:13]
currently exists in the city and then we
[31:16]
are looking to use the patio portion of
[31:18]
the zone as well. So, one of the
[31:21]
challenges with the general plan is it
[31:23]
doesn't look to utilize existing zoning
[31:28]
code within the city. So, what we're part of what we're trying to
[31:32]
do is just ask for the ability to amend
[31:36]
the general plan to [clears throat] be
[31:37]
able to set up the future land use with
[31:40]
the uses that the city currently has.
[31:43]
Okay. So, that's that's the general plan
[31:46]
amendment part. Why is there a general
[31:48]
plan amendment? Because we want the
[31:50]
future land use element to reflect what
[31:54]
the next part is, which would be the
[31:56]
change.
[31:57]
>> So, talking about the greater I will
[31:59]
just for a second.
[32:00]
>> I was going to do that next. So, you're
[32:03]
>> uh we were we were here a while ago, but
[32:08]
there's another landowner in the area
[32:11]
that's not part of the the estate that
[32:13]
we're buying, and she indicated she
[32:17]
wanted to sell her seven or eight acres.
[32:20]
She's always been kind of hesitant to do
[32:22]
it. We didn't want to do that, but she
[32:24]
indicated she would like to do that. So,
[32:26]
we have actually included that in this
[32:28]
process. So, we didn't anticipate it or
[32:32]
we didn't know how exactly we would use
[32:34]
it. [clears throat] Uh you're going to
[32:36]
see on a plan that we're trying to
[32:37]
extend our commercial over there as we
[32:39]
talk I think in meetings like this. It
[32:43]
really makes the the retail
[32:46]
better and more valuable. Meaning that
[32:49]
when you bring a power center is a
[32:52]
bigger center and it has more
[32:56]
each each store does better just because
[32:58]
there's more volume to it and so it's
[33:01]
better if the size just a touch bigger.
[33:03]
So we've actually put some pad retail
[33:06]
out there but we uh we had some
[33:11]
in order to in order to move that retail
[33:14]
really to the west probably We're
[33:16]
looking for
[33:19]
I don't know whether Cal Ranch you got up the street. I don't think
[33:23]
they'll come. We don't know if we can
[33:25]
get a real another mid box anchor to go
[33:30]
to the side of Smith. But last time we
[33:34]
were here I think with Stephen some of
[33:35]
the planning commission members there
[33:36]
was a thought that it would probably
[33:39]
preferable if we can get it done. So,
[33:41]
we've allowed the green to be what we're
[33:44]
referring to as a mixed [clears throat]
[33:45]
use for a period of time, and we would
[33:49]
during this period of time go out and
[33:51]
try to find a user for that area. If we
[33:54]
couldn't, we probably use it as
[33:56]
residential, but so it it can float back
[33:59]
and forth between uh retail and
[34:03]
residential, and we just haven't had
[34:06]
time to find out if there's a demand for
[34:08]
it. So, that's the reason
[34:11]
use.
[34:11]
>> So these two colors and uses don't
[34:15]
currently currently exist in the general
[34:17]
plan. So that's what we're proposing to
[34:19]
add. And then these colors are
[34:22]
correspond. And the mixed uses it could
[34:25]
be residential, it could be commercial
[34:27]
depending on if we can get the
[34:28]
commercial to fill that out or it will
[34:31]
be residential. And again, maybe the
[34:33]
response from the city council is we
[34:35]
don't want that.
[34:37]
>> That's the direction we're looking for.
[34:39]
We're just give us that feedback. Okay.
[34:43]
Uh then next, so this would be and uh
[34:47]
Darren can correct me if I'm wrong, but
[34:48]
general plans are typically amended by
[34:51]
resolution. Is that right? Good enough.
[34:54]
So what you'll see first
[34:57]
item on your agenda planning commission
[34:58]
would see similar plan for the planning
[35:01]
commission be recommend amending the
[35:03]
general plan to what we're asking for
[35:06]
and that would be to then they would
[35:08]
forward a recommendation to approve the
[35:09]
resolution and then the first item on
[35:12]
the agenda would be for the city council
[35:14]
to consider approving the resolution to
[35:16]
amend the general plan. That's just step
[35:18]
one
[35:19]
>> and they can approve it as approved.
[35:21]
>> Yeah. And if you if the direction from
[35:24]
the city council is we don't want to
[35:27]
amend the general plan to this then we
[35:30]
know what we need to know. You don't
[35:32]
want to go forward with the next step
[35:33]
which would be the reason and that's the
[35:36]
next step.
[35:38]
So in the reszone I've got some names up
[35:41]
here that are a little bit different and
[35:42]
that and I'll explain why that is but
[35:45]
what we're proposing for our site plan
[35:47]
is to have the R3 around the outside.
[35:51]
Now, these folks up here, they're asking
[35:54]
for their property be reszoned, but they
[35:56]
don't want to be part of the
[35:57]
development. So, I just stuck a
[35:59]
culde-sac in there to say, "Here's what
[36:01]
it could develop." They've come back and
[36:03]
said, "Please take that off. We don't
[36:06]
want to have a culde-sac on that
[36:07]
property." So, when I when we come back
[36:09]
the next time, you won't see that. Just
[36:12]
want to be
[36:13]
>> So, they want it reszoned, but they
[36:16]
don't want to culde us out. So, what are
[36:18]
they going to do then? They they are
[36:21]
requesting access from 47 up for their
[36:24]
property
[36:25]
>> to for that road to go straight through.
[36:27]
>> No, it would just if they might have
[36:29]
like two halfacre lots or something
[36:32]
right here and their driveways would
[36:33]
just come out to 4700. No road at all.
[36:36]
So this little stub street, we're just
[36:38]
going to have a knuckle like the one
[36:40]
over here.
[36:42]
And that way the road can just turn a
[36:44]
corner and come down here. No stub. Now,
[36:48]
we know that Hooker Water has a piece of
[36:51]
land up here and they're developing a
[36:53]
well there and they're asking for access
[36:56]
and we need a place to discharge when
[36:58]
our when we pump the waste from our
[36:59]
well, we need a storm drain line to go
[37:01]
into and so forth. We haven't met with
[37:03]
them yet because there's really no sense
[37:05]
talking to them about having a stub road
[37:08]
or even getting water service until we
[37:10]
know that there's interest in amending
[37:12]
the general plan and then taking the
[37:14]
next step of the ordinance, which would
[37:16]
be res.
[37:18]
Okay. So, step two on if if I'm
[37:22]
visualizing the agenda, item B probably
[37:25]
would be for the planning commission to
[37:28]
consider uh make filing a recommendation
[37:31]
to the city council to reszone the
[37:34]
property. And that's after they've now
[37:37]
there's going to be huge discussion. I
[37:38]
get that the public hearing and so
[37:40]
forth, but when they're making their
[37:41]
motions, they would then they make a
[37:45]
recommendation the general plan, then
[37:48]
the next motion could be to make a
[37:50]
recommendation to resz on the property
[37:53]
and then that forwards that to you as
[37:55]
well. Then the third item, they
[37:58]
[clears throat] kind of need to all be
[37:59]
together because they run together, is
[38:02]
the recommendation to approve the master
[38:05]
development agreement if it's the
[38:07]
planning commission. And then here it
[38:09]
would be the recommendation to approve
[38:10]
the master development agreement with
[38:12]
the city council. And the three, like I
[38:14]
say, they kind of run together like I
[38:18]
don't want to approve the like one of
[38:20]
you may feel I don't want to vote to
[38:24]
approve the master development agreement
[38:25]
as it's currently written.
[38:28]
That's the kind of the purpose of the
[38:29]
feedback, the public hearing and so
[38:31]
forth is we need direction. Now, at the
[38:33]
city council level, if if the majority
[38:36]
do not find that they would like to
[38:39]
approve, we would ask perhaps
[38:41]
tableabling rather than denying in the
[38:44]
interest of understanding what the
[38:46]
concerns are. We would like the sign to
[38:49]
be shorter. We want the fences to be
[38:52]
tall. We want the landscape buffer to be
[38:54]
wider. all these details in this
[38:58]
development agreement which we're really
[39:00]
proposing because the current code lacks
[39:05]
the detail to manage a development on
[39:08]
the part of the staff. And so what we're
[39:11]
trying to get into the master
[39:12]
development agreement is a code with
[39:15]
more detail than the current code
[39:17]
provides that enables this project to be
[39:20]
able to be developed and come back
[39:22]
>> the city.
[39:23]
>> Yeah. Well, sure. and and that would be
[39:26]
>> and gives direction.
[39:28]
>> Yeah. So that we're not just it's not
[39:30]
the wild west. We've got guidelines and
[39:33]
design standards and all that kind of
[39:35]
stuff. Okay. And so we would have the
[39:37]
red that you saw previously in the
[39:39]
general plan. We'd still be asking for
[39:41]
that with with more particularly a zone
[39:44]
to the C2 community zone that again
[39:47]
already exists in your code. The flex
[39:50]
mixed use space which we talked about
[39:52]
here. showing a portion in residential
[39:54]
and then there's a little bit of the
[39:56]
commercial that goes back there. But if
[39:58]
a bigger user came in that would just
[40:00]
expand further.
[40:02]
>> You guys be agreeable to the primary
[40:04]
design being commercial since that's the
[40:07]
goal and then we could have
[40:09]
>> we could we could we could change this
[40:11]
concept or I think it's called a design
[40:13]
whatever it's called in the development
[40:15]
agreement that is basically the concept
[40:17]
plan we're going to agree to. If you'd
[40:19]
prefer that to be shown in commercial,
[40:21]
we can show it. I don't think that's
[40:26]
the goal.
[40:28]
That
[40:29]
>> commercial.
[40:29]
>> That's the direction we're looking for
[40:31]
because I'm looking at the council, too,
[40:33]
making sure there's shaking hands. So,
[40:39]
>> sorry, didn't mean to interrupt, but I
[40:40]
know at that last planning commission
[40:42]
meeting, there was a resident that spoke
[40:44]
with you after that. Her the west side
[40:48]
where it now shows a survey
[40:53]
commercial right up next to her.
[40:56]
>> Can you point to our house
[41:00]
[clears throat]
[41:02]
right there?
[41:06]
» She might give me her name or this one.
[41:11]
>> She's not her name.
[41:16]
>> She's from Nottingham, England. tell you
[41:17]
that I don't remember her name.
[41:19]
>> So, so I think they would be fine if
[41:21]
maybe there was some more commercial,
[41:23]
but they she does not want her backyard.
[41:26]
>> She doesn't want commercial in her
[41:28]
backyard.
[41:28]
>> So, I got I got Whitney Lynch.
[41:31]
>> No, I'm sorry.
[41:32]
>> No, it's further.
[41:34]
>> Is it the marker?
[41:36]
>> Kristen Marker, Wayne and Tracy
[41:38]
Woodward.
[41:40]
>> Woodward.
[41:40]
>> Okay. So, let me show you Troy.
[41:43]
There's there's a stuff road and there's
[41:47]
culde-sac coming in or around.
[41:49]
>> Oh, okay. And they're on the culac
[41:50]
>> and they're and they're on the
[41:51]
culde-sac. Okay. Okay. They're on the
[41:53]
not the culde-sac. The the knob.
[41:57]
>> So, she was she was pretty clear. If
[41:59]
there's residential in the backyard, I'm okay.
[42:02]
>> I'm bringing out all my pitchforks.
[42:06]
If it's commercial, then the pitchforks
[42:08]
are coming out. So, that that's just one
[42:10]
person's vote.
[42:11]
>> Commercial isn't going to extend that
[42:13]
far no matter what.
[42:14]
>> Yeah, I don't think so.
[42:16]
I'm showing on the corner lot in the
[42:18]
blue if you point to it Malcolm or
[42:20]
somebody can the very corner lot that's
[42:23]
a residential then hers that's really
[42:25]
not how it is because it's a knuckle
[42:27]
there
[42:28]
>> but that's her lot and then the next lot
[42:30]
is her city
[42:34]
» there's a bigger open field there's a
[42:36]
house and then a field I want to say
[42:40]
>> so the first one
[42:42]
>> first one
[42:43]
>> you can see it there
[42:44]
>> faces their house north her house
[42:47]
>> corner house hers.
[42:51]
» So the bottom line is that grain doesn't
[42:53]
affect her anyway.
[42:54]
>> Yeah.
[42:56]
>> Let's move on.
[42:57]
>> No, but I just wanted to express that.
[42:58]
>> I think the idea of a residential buffer
[43:01]
though is well taken. We thought like
[43:04]
maybe that does maintain [clears throat]
[43:05]
to an extent there's commercial within.
[43:08]
>> She's one of those that has been there
[43:10]
since the very first meeting we ever
[43:11]
had.
[43:12]
>> So she's very involved. So Uh we'll do whatever you want. You've got
[43:17]
to deal with the uh with the neighbors.
[43:20]
Okay. We'll we'll move ahead. So that's
[43:22]
kind of your call and we'll do it.
[43:24]
>> So that's
[43:25]
>> But it looks like you still would have
[43:26]
some room to put commercial there.
[43:32]
» Probably just we probably just cover
[43:34]
that green area commercial. Is that what
[43:35]
you're saying?
[43:37]
>> And then the col.
[43:42]
» There was also talk about combining the
[43:43]
green with the detention.
[43:46]
>> Yeah, we're working on that. So, I don't
[43:48]
know. But that that's probably
[43:51]
>> we don't know. We're trying
[43:52]
>> that came up last time.
[43:54]
>> We're trying to
[43:57]
We're bouncing a little bit here, but uh
[44:00]
we're done at Geotech and we're right.
[44:03]
We need to get on the
[44:05]
>> Yeah, they're they're trying to mobilize
[44:07]
the drill right now
[44:08]
>> and we're also doing a survey.
[44:11]
I don't know.
[44:15]
Well,
[44:16]
>> so
[44:17]
>> pretty flat.
[44:18]
>> Is there an estimate of how many people
[44:20]
this will bring in
[44:22]
>> as far as
[44:26]
this this density currently is about 115
[44:29]
a month?
[44:31]
>> 115.
[44:32]
>> Sorry. 115.
[44:34]
>> Yeah. What do they figure?
[44:35]
>> So it's going to be less than a
[44:36]
thousand.
[44:37]
>> Yeah. The average household in Utah is
[44:39]
under four. because I I know there's a
[44:42]
lot of people that I've talked to that
[44:44]
want more green space, but if you go
[44:46]
into our general plan, it says per
[44:49]
thousand people uh six uh
[44:56]
was it six acres? Uh or not six acres.
[45:02]
So
[45:02]
>> anyway, with the green space and with
[45:05]
that detention pond would be more than
[45:08]
what we have throughout Hooper already.
[45:10]
So uh
[45:12]
>> you know so so we've got this just under
[45:15]
an acre, 40,000 square ft.
[45:17]
>> And then there is this detention pond
[45:19]
area over here, but we're not far enough
[45:21]
along to know even how big the detention
[45:23]
pond needs to be. Usually it's about
[45:26]
4,000 cubic feet per acre on commercial
[45:28]
development and we've got 24ish acres of
[45:33]
commercial currently shown. So it's a
[45:35]
pretty good sized detention
[45:38]
that we've got to get.
[45:39]
>> So if you do three per home, it's 300.
[45:42]
If you do four per
[45:45]
>> Yeah. So uh and so we would like to try
[45:49]
to move the detention pond further
[45:52]
north, but we have you can't get water
[45:55]
to run the field unless you put a pump
[45:56]
on it. [clears throat] So we're trying
[46:00]
We're looking at grades. We don't know
[46:02]
where to put the detention on until we
[46:04]
get those grades. So, we like to move as
[46:06]
far north as we can.
[46:07]
>> So, for the locals that are familiar,
[46:09]
there's a corn plant right here. And
[46:12]
when I went over there last Thursday,
[46:14]
there was about two maybe three inches
[46:17]
of water. It was irrigated even though
[46:19]
the corn's well past corn. Um, but that
[46:22]
water was clear over here in the up. So,
[46:27]
that says to me, I'm just from beauty.
[46:31]
Uh that ground's pretty flat.
[46:33]
>> It's very flat. [laughter]
[46:34]
>> Yeah. And what's interesting is there's
[46:36]
a massive BM along this side in order to
[46:40]
get the water high enough to be able to
[46:42]
get around the property and keep it so
[46:44]
that it slopes so it can be flood
[46:45]
irrigated. Obviously
[46:50]
pioneers to obviously be able to flood
[46:52]
irrigate. And there's going to have to
[46:53]
be some grading done here to be able to
[46:56]
get this thing.
[46:57]
>> How deep would the retention pond be?
[47:00]
It would I would recommend that it not
[47:02]
be closer than 3 ft to the groundwater
[47:04]
elevation because we don't want it to
[47:05]
grow cattails
[47:07]
and that's a challenge in a lot of areas
[47:09]
out here. So that's part of the geotech
[47:12]
report. It's going to tell me how deep
[47:14]
the groundwater table is so we can start
[47:16]
working.
[47:16]
>> It's not going to be very accurate this
[47:18]
year though unfortunately.
[47:19]
>> No. And that's the other reason for the
[47:21]
three-foot recommendation is it does
[47:23]
allow for some variation. U the other
[47:25]
question we need to look at Troy told
[47:28]
you this is we I like landings if we can
[47:32]
ever get them in
[47:36]
» the ground
[47:41]
» I don't know if there's anywhere
[47:43]
>> the probably this ditch over here the
[47:45]
problem is
[47:47]
>> if yeah if the ditch backs up and again
[47:51]
this is detail that I haven't had a
[47:52]
chance to learn
[47:54]
But if the ditch backs up then obviously
[47:56]
it's backing up the land drain. Yeah,
[47:57]
you can put flappers on them and all
[47:59]
that kind of stuff but
[48:01]
>> good because they they don't
[48:06]
» so that's detail that we could
[48:08]
potentially look at. We just aren't
[48:11]
[clears throat]
[48:11]
>> I think the next step just to visualize
[48:13]
further trade details will then come at
[48:15]
a plat approval.
[48:18]
>> We've done we spent a lot of money in
[48:20]
the last two months
[48:21]
>> but you guys the council council needs
[48:24]
to get the look and the feel and the
[48:26]
aesthetics and the parking requirements
[48:27]
and the density down the zoning specific
[48:30]
items and then engineering down at level
[48:34]
again.
[48:35]
>> So, so what we're basically saying is if
[48:38]
there's interest in the reszone then we
[48:40]
move to the master development agreement
[48:42]
which is going to provide that design
[48:43]
guide document and establish a lot of
[48:46]
the parameters associated with how the
[48:47]
project [snorts] will develop. Then
[48:50]
we've got a commitment if those things
[48:52]
are approved so that Stuart can work
[48:56]
with other people to move forward with
[48:59]
the project. And they have they they're
[49:01]
like, "Okay, it makes more sense to
[49:03]
spend some money. Let's decide what the
[49:05]
risks are. Troy, go do your stuff. Bring
[49:08]
back a big list of problems and with a
[49:10]
big list of solutions and how much do
[49:12]
those solutions cost and so forth. And
[49:14]
then with that number of units, the
[49:17]
commercial square footage, potential
[49:19]
yield, and so forth, they can sit down
[49:21]
and work out a budget and say, "Does
[49:23]
this thing even pencil? Does it even
[49:25]
make sense for us to move forward?" And
[49:27]
that's where there's some hesitancy
[49:28]
right now to spend a ton of money and
[49:30]
answer all these questions because they
[49:33]
don't know if it can hesitate
[49:36]
[clears throat]
[49:38]
engineer have any I'm not engineer, the
[49:40]
attorney have any comments, whatever.
[49:44]
You've set the steps as I imagined they
[49:48]
would be and they they have to be.
[49:50]
>> Yeah.
[49:51]
>> I think we're there
[49:52]
>> and there's been a lot of why are we
[49:54]
even doing this? I I know and I know the
[49:56]
citizenry are are further removed and I mean no disrespect at all. I just
[50:02]
wanted to go through the process and try
[50:05]
to very simply explain why are we even
[50:08]
doing this because I know you know
[50:10]
Darren's very clear. looks to me like
[50:12]
based on the future land you sell under
[50:14]
the general plan, you need to amend the
[50:15]
general plan. And I say, "Yep, that's
[50:17]
what anybody else would require."
[50:19]
>> So, it's not foreign to me, but it's
[50:21]
just foreign to a lot of folks because
[50:23]
it's some people have said, "Well, we've allowed a a a more dense
[50:28]
development to be approved and we
[50:30]
haven't amended the general plan." Well,
[50:32]
you have good legal counsel now. Maybe
[50:34]
you didn't have that before. I don't I
[50:35]
don't know how that happened before,
[50:38]
>> but anyway, enough. So, so here's what
[50:41]
we're asking for the highdensity
[50:43]
residential. You can see I put in
[50:44]
parentheses over there what it means.
[50:46]
Now, this is what again this is wording
[50:48]
from your code. And and then I just
[50:51]
wanted to point out the next
[50:53]
>> R3 patio.
[50:55]
>> Yeah. And so the next plan kind of gives
[50:57]
a little bit more of that design
[51:00]
document. Here's the R3 R3 lot. It's a
[51:03]
13,000 foot minimum, which is what's
[51:05]
required in the code. What we don't what
[51:08]
we're asking for as a differential from
[51:10]
the current code is instead of providing
[51:12]
a 100 foot of lot frontage we would like
[51:15]
we're asking for to be able to provide
[51:17]
85 and so it's a little bit narrower lot
[51:21]
than we would typically see
[51:24]
garage
[51:24]
>> but there's yeah with 85 there's still
[51:26]
enough room for a three garage [cough]
[51:29]
then the next step down there's been
[51:31]
some that have said well hey I thought
[51:33]
this was going to be patio homes so I
[51:35]
said okay if it is patio homes homes.
[51:37]
Here's a patio home and it has four
[51:40]
adjoined units that are conjoined. Okay?
[51:43]
So, it's a bigger structure, a little
[51:46]
less maybe open space associated with
[51:48]
it, but that's what a lot would look
[51:51]
like if it were patio homes. Now, over
[51:54]
here we have individual cottage lots.
[51:56]
There's been some references to JDC
[51:59]
Ranch to say, "Well, we like the little
[52:01]
houses. They're cute. Twostory. A young
[52:03]
family can move in there. Everybody can
[52:04]
see what that looks like. And this just
[52:07]
kind of shows what cottage lots look
[52:09]
like. And [cough] in the JDBC
[52:11]
[clears throat] Ranch, four units are
[52:14]
connected to a private driveway. We're
[52:16]
asking for six. Just some of the depth
[52:18]
and narrowness of the property. We're
[52:20]
just asking for a little bit of a
[52:22]
difference there.
[52:23]
>> Question.
[52:23]
>> Yeah.
[52:24]
>> What would you estimate
[52:26]
a house on one of those house and those
[52:28]
lots on those cottage lots would be in
[52:31]
the current market right now?
[52:33]
JDC's are going around five 500,000.
[52:36]
>> If you're gonna if you're going to get
[52:38]
first home buyer funding, it's 450.
[52:41]
>> Okay. And that on the Nelson Homes
[52:44]
website, that's where they say they
[52:45]
start.
[52:46]
>> That's why we said it at 450 is we we're
[52:48]
trying to keep inflation. Everybody said
[52:51]
they couldn't do it. We're forced to do
[52:52]
it.
[52:54]
>> What about emergency vehicles in an area
[52:57]
like where you just were above there?
[52:59]
>> Yeah. Now, the 20 foot driveway the
[53:02]
width sufficient to get back there. The
[53:05]
Weber County is probably going to say we
[53:07]
need some kind of a turnaround back
[53:08]
here. We just need to get to that level
[53:11]
of detail. And again, that's more of the
[53:14]
site plan subdivision spot where we
[53:17]
would submit the plan. We would meet
[53:19]
obviously with the fire marshall and
[53:21]
say, "What kind of turnaround do you
[53:22]
need?" He's going to say, "Well, I
[53:24]
either need a 100 foot diameter cold
[53:26]
stack, which is right here. That's what
[53:28]
the fire code requires. Or I need a
[53:29]
hammer head turn around which is 60 ft
[53:33]
in two directions.
[53:34]
>> Stay there for a minute on that.
[53:36]
>> All right.
[53:38]
>> We're going to erase that. That's
[53:41]
>> I mentioned that earlier.
[53:43]
>> Yeah.
[53:44]
>> That's toast.
[53:46]
>> I just wanted to give a reference that
[53:49]
the the rideway around here is set at
[53:51]
100 ft. One thing that's caused a little
[53:53]
confusion. Our roads are 60 ft in
[53:56]
Hooper. Yep. They are and this is
[53:58]
showing from the back of the curb to the
[54:00]
back of the curb which in Hooker is 40
[54:02]
ft and then there's additional park
[54:04]
strip and right or sidewalk space on
[54:07]
either side. So the property line would
[54:09]
be this red line and this darker line is
[54:13]
the road. So I'm going to fix this
[54:15]
because it's causing some confusion with
[54:17]
folks and I just don't want people to be
[54:20]
confused. So, so I'm going to change
[54:22]
that 40 to a 60 and then everybody go,
[54:24]
"Oh, yeah, that's our 60 foot standard
[54:26]
section for residential street." And uh
[54:29]
the only then for the town home portion
[54:31]
of the code, it your current code allows
[54:34]
five units to be adjoined. We're asking
[54:37]
for six. Again, some of the narrowness
[54:39]
of the property and so forth, it just
[54:41]
lays out better. But if it's like, "No,
[54:44]
I don't think six is what Hooker wants,"
[54:47]
then we just need to know.
[54:50]
And uh then the commercial. Hasn't been
[54:53]
a lot of comment about the commercial,
[54:54]
but I do want to point out the the
[54:56]
elephant in the room. That's the lift
[54:58]
station that makes all of this possible.
[55:01]
And uh it was originally slated to be
[55:03]
over here and is plumbed out here in the
[55:05]
roadway to be right here. We originally
[55:09]
were talking about could we put it back
[55:10]
here and then we in one [clears throat]
[55:13]
of our conversations with staff and so
[55:14]
forth and it was well it'll be two feet
[55:16]
deeper and you know the groundwater
[55:18]
table and we said oh maybe we don't want
[55:20]
to go two feet deeper in the ground. So
[55:22]
we said what do you think right here in
[55:23]
the parking lot and Jared Hancock was
[55:25]
really cute. He says you've been around
[55:26]
those before right? You know what they
[55:28]
smell like. I said yeah I've been around
[55:30]
those before. And uh he said maybe you
[55:33]
don't want that in the parking lot. So,
[55:35]
we said, "Well, what? Maybe we flip this
[55:37]
around and and and I know that won't be
[55:39]
popular with the neighbors. I'm just
[55:40]
saying I'm me, but could we find a spot
[55:43]
in the back of here to stick it? Could
[55:45]
we find some green space right here to
[55:47]
put it? Uh, you know, because now we're
[55:49]
just running lines straight across the
[55:51]
parking lot to get to it. Or maybe the
[55:54]
best way to do it is still to bend and
[55:55]
put it back here and keep it. But, so we
[55:58]
still got to figure that out. But that's
[56:01]
site plan. Okay. and we're going to work
[56:03]
with staff and we're going to work with
[56:04]
Jared and we're gonna work with the city
[56:05]
engineer and we're just going to figure
[56:07]
out hey where does it work and we're
[56:08]
going to come in with our geotech report
[56:10]
and say the soils are really bad. It's
[56:12]
going to be a huge hole to dig this wet
[56:15]
well and maybe because it's an open
[56:17]
field we can handle that but we need to
[56:20]
think about how we maintain needs to be
[56:22]
in the parking lot. Yeah, it doesn't
[56:24]
need to be in the parking lot. There's
[56:26]
some concerns about odor, but but it's
[56:28]
flexible.
[56:28]
>> The ground water such
[56:32]
>> Yeah. And I, you know, we'll have to
[56:34]
figure out what we're going to do about
[56:35]
odor and some of those concerns, but
[56:37]
there's ways to mitigate.
[56:38]
>> So, we have that station over and
[56:41]
there's neighbors houses that are right
[56:43]
next and I have I haven't heard that
[56:45]
complaint yet, but there's odor. Maybe
[56:48]
some others have because, you know, I've
[56:50]
been over there quite a bit and there is
[56:51]
there's houses that are neighbor around
[56:53]
that. So, so I don't know. I mean, Jared
[56:56]
certainly knows [clears throat] that
[56:58]
>> and those are things that we can talk to
[57:00]
people who live by them. We can go visit
[57:02]
them
[57:04]
through that again.
[57:05]
>> People that build them may have that
[57:07]
issue and they know how to build
[57:09]
>> something. It's a problem we need to.
[57:12]
>> I have one just below me in the park and
[57:14]
you don't get a smell from that. You get
[57:16]
more smell from the mantles than you do
[57:18]
from that.
[57:20]
>> And the Great Salt Lake and different
[57:22]
smell, but still
[57:24]
>> I almost I almost said that in the last
[57:26]
meeting, but I didn't want people to
[57:27]
think I was just being facitious. Yeah,
[57:29]
when the wind blows to the east, we all
[57:31]
know what that smells like. And I mean,
[57:33]
I love the Great Salt Lake. I've lived
[57:34]
here my whole life, but it's just what
[57:36]
it is.
[57:38]
>> So, this is just kind of a blow up of
[57:41]
what we wanted to present as landscaping
[57:43]
because there's been a concern about
[57:45]
what's the landscaping going to be. So,
[57:47]
right now, we're just saying here's the
[57:49]
different uses that are associated and
[57:51]
so forth. There's [clears throat] a
[57:52]
green space area. There was a concern
[57:55]
mentioned at the planning commission
[57:56]
meeting. We need some amenities in there
[57:59]
and and we just need some direction like
[58:01]
how big of an amenity do we want a
[58:02]
pavilion and how big do we want the
[58:04]
pavilion to be? Do we want a top lot
[58:06]
space and how big do we want it to be?
[58:08]
Do we want two slides,
[58:10]
>> three swings and yeah and then we can
[58:12]
work on cost and that's what we we just
[58:14]
need to know size so that we can get to
[58:16]
cost then we can go from there. But what
[58:18]
this is just showing is street trees and
[58:21]
so forth for the residential area.
[58:22]
>> Bottom to that so they can see the whole
[58:24]
thing.
[58:25]
>> We'll get there. It's just trying to
[58:27]
take it in in bites. It's hard to eat an
[58:29]
elephant all at one time. And so here's
[58:32]
some pictures from JDC as well as some
[58:35]
pictures of one of the planning
[58:36]
commission members that said, "Hey, and
[58:38]
I grew up up the street from Blake Seing
[58:40]
when I was a kid and so I know his
[58:42]
parents." And he said, "You know where
[58:44]
mom lives?" Anyway, long story short,
[58:47]
the the patio homes are like these and
[58:51]
uh that that are in that neighborhood
[58:52]
and we just wanted to show in in Darla
[58:56]
Seing's neighborhood. That's what the
[58:58]
yards
[58:59]
>> square footage of one of them roughly.
[59:02]
>> They're about 3700.
[59:05]
>> They're pretty good size.
[59:07]
>> Yeah. And uh anyway, these are from the
[59:09]
JDC ranch. Here's a picture of what was
[59:11]
at the park. Here's a top lot area from
[59:13]
the park. Now, please keep in mind JDC
[59:18]
is huge compared to our little 50 acres.
[59:21]
And when you go over and walk 50 acres,
[59:23]
I trust me, it's huge. Walk the whole
[59:25]
thing.
[59:25]
>> 50 when you talk about residential.
[59:27]
>> Yeah. It's only 26 when you talk about
[59:28]
residential. So, it's not as huge as
[59:30]
JDC. So, scale needs to be taken into
[59:33]
consideration. That's why we don't have
[59:35]
a threeacre park. We have a oneacre
[59:37]
because we're trying to draw
[59:38]
>> res.
[59:40]
So anyway, this is just what some of the
[59:42]
yards could look like in the residential
[59:44]
housing. And this is a pretty typical
[59:47]
what we were referring to as a cottage.
[59:49]
And one thing you may missed on the as
[59:52]
we talked about the general plan is if
[59:56]
you're going to do again high density
[59:59]
most areas
[1:00:01]
threetory walks but out there so I worry
[1:00:06]
about saying high density because
[1:00:08]
understand
[1:00:15]
» but the reason it fits is you usually
[1:00:17]
try to the commercial So that's why
[1:00:20]
general plan actually makes sense here
[1:00:23]
because now you now you figured out
[1:00:26]
where the commercial is because the
[1:00:27]
general plan showed it all up and down
[1:00:29]
the street. You locate it and then after
[1:00:32]
you locate it, you can change your
[1:00:33]
general plan to reflect where it's
[1:00:35]
located. So that that's the logic behind
[1:00:38]
it. I think everybody knows that. That's
[1:00:40]
why we're here.
[1:00:41]
>> Here's the commercial portion. And there
[1:00:44]
were some comments to the planning
[1:00:45]
commission. We just wanted to kind of
[1:00:47]
say, okay, we fill in with some trees.
[1:00:50]
These green areas, please don't be
[1:00:52]
concerned about that. We're proposing
[1:00:53]
those to be like shrub planters, not
[1:00:56]
sod.
[1:00:57]
>> We would come in with a rock mulch and
[1:00:59]
have drip irrigation systems. Be pretty
[1:01:02]
try to be pretty water.
[1:01:04]
>> Yeah. So, we're we're we're past sod and
[1:01:07]
I just didn't want somebody think, well,
[1:01:08]
they showed all that green on there.
[1:01:10]
They want to do a bunch of grass.
[1:01:11]
>> The landscaping will be probably similar
[1:01:13]
to case.
[1:01:15]
Yeah, I would say something besides a
[1:01:17]
picture.
[1:01:17]
>> It's it's rock mulch at West Point as
[1:01:19]
well. So that's very similar.
[1:01:23]
Now, one of the residents said, u
[1:01:35]
So, these are cars and there was a
[1:01:38]
concern about I don't think we want to
[1:01:39]
have a big black pave parking lot, but
[1:01:43]
we can if there's interest and again
[1:01:45]
getting that direction. Tree diamonds.
[1:01:47]
That'd be the first step we'd go and
[1:01:49]
we'd have a 6x6 little diamond right
[1:01:51]
here where we plant a tree and maybe
[1:01:54]
well we don't want tree diamonds. We
[1:01:56]
want landscape islands in the parking
[1:01:58]
lot. We again we're just looking for
[1:02:00]
direction to establish that design
[1:02:04]
and that's kind of
[1:02:07]
um we I did want to talk a little bit
[1:02:08]
about phototrics because there's been
[1:02:10]
some concerns there with lighting. This
[1:02:13]
is a tical center lighting plan. And I'm
[1:02:16]
not going to make it hard, I promise.
[1:02:19]
What these little numbers here show is
[1:02:21]
the number of foot candles underneath
[1:02:23]
the canopy.
[1:02:24]
>> That's how bright it is.
[1:02:25]
>> It's the brightness. And over in this
[1:02:28]
area where they overlap, you'll see
[1:02:30]
there's like a 58 right there. And and
[1:02:33]
so that's the brightest that the light
[1:02:36]
would be. Now, I'm going to show you a
[1:02:37]
picture of one at night and then it's
[1:02:39]
going to look a lot brighter because my
[1:02:40]
phone the way it picks up the lighting.
[1:02:42]
But I just wanted to this out. Now, this
[1:02:45]
is a fuel canopy in Bluffell. It's been
[1:02:47]
constructed about two years ago. And
[1:02:50]
these light poles, the mounting height
[1:02:53]
is 37 1/2 ft. I'm going to show you a
[1:02:55]
picture of that, too. Now, the light
[1:02:57]
pole itself is 35 ft tall and then it
[1:03:02]
sits on a pole base that's 2 and 1/2 ft
[1:03:04]
tall. Okay? So, mounting height means
[1:03:08]
how high above their finished ground is
[1:03:11]
that fixture. and it becomes really
[1:03:13]
important in just a second. Now, that's
[1:03:15]
all you need to know to be able to work
[1:03:17]
with me.
[1:03:19]
Now, this is taken from the separated
[1:03:22]
grade interchange. My wife dropped me
[1:03:24]
off and said, "I can't believe you're
[1:03:25]
going to get hit by a car trying to take
[1:03:27]
this picture." And it is the fuel canopy
[1:03:31]
in Bluffale. And you can see how much
[1:03:33]
brighter it is under the canopy than it
[1:03:36]
is out here in the parking lot. and that
[1:03:39]
brightness for security reasons. This we
[1:03:42]
have outside sails underneath this
[1:03:44]
canopy. You can come get a a
[1:03:48]
we'll just say an energy drink because I
[1:03:50]
don't know what they're called. But u
[1:03:52]
you can get a rock okay Rockstar. That
[1:03:54]
one came or you can get a Pepsi or
[1:03:56]
whatever you want. Whatever your drink
[1:03:57]
of flavor of choice is. They just have
[1:03:59]
some different outdoor display areas
[1:04:01]
where you can open a door. This is the
[1:04:04]
window that you would come up to.
[1:04:05]
There's a little drawer just like when
[1:04:07]
you go to the old style credit union.
[1:04:09]
They don't make them like that anymore,
[1:04:11]
but you know what I mean.
[1:04:13]
>> Yeah. Okay. So, we're past all that.
[1:04:15]
There is that light pole that's 37 and
[1:04:17]
1/2 ft tall. This canopy is only 20 ft
[1:04:19]
tall. And so, there's been a lot of
[1:04:21]
concern about, well, I don't know what
[1:04:23]
kind of light pole to tell them to put
[1:04:26]
in and so forth. And what we're
[1:04:28]
suggesting and what we've been talking
[1:04:29]
to Malcolm about is let's just have a
[1:04:31]
light pole that's not taller than the
[1:04:33]
building. And then the parking lights.
[1:04:36]
If I live behind the store, then I don't
[1:04:38]
have a light [clears throat] pole that's
[1:04:40]
sticking way up above the height of the
[1:04:43]
facility. Okay. So, I just wanted you to
[1:04:45]
go see that light bulbs to the left
[1:04:47]
there. They're kind of like
[1:04:49]
>> Yeah, this
[1:04:51]
>> you can see. Let me back up real quick.
[1:04:53]
This is the street light. Now, these are
[1:04:55]
a lot like yours. Yours just have a
[1:04:58]
shorter arm right there. And so, that
[1:05:00]
gives you an idea of like your own
[1:05:01]
street lights about 19 feet tall. And so we're we're asking or we're going
[1:05:06]
to propose 25 ft as the pole height,
[1:05:11]
which really means the mounting height
[1:05:12]
would be 27 and a half if we can do
[1:05:15]
that.
[1:05:17]
>> So just wanted to show you those
[1:05:19]
>> and we have to build more.
[1:05:22]
>> Yeah, that's the bottom line. And that's
[1:05:24]
really what this is.
[1:05:26]
>> Stuart's just going faster than because
[1:05:27]
he wants me to get through all this. But
[1:05:30]
he's like, you're boring. I'm
[1:05:32]
This is This is the parking lot. for
[1:05:34]
West Point. And these light poles are 44
[1:05:38]
feet tall. And so they are spaced about
[1:05:43]
150 to 200 ft apart. And a 25 ft
[1:05:46]
mounting height means they're going to
[1:05:48]
be closer to 100 ft, maybe 125 ft apart.
[1:05:51]
So there will be more light poles, but
[1:05:54]
they'll be shorter so that a person can
[1:05:57]
look over the top of them or that kind
[1:05:59]
of thing. They be blocked by the
[1:06:00]
building. Now on the building, there are
[1:06:02]
going to be what are called small pack
[1:06:04]
lights, but they're only 15 ft tall. So,
[1:06:06]
they're well down on the wall to provide
[1:06:09]
just the lighting around the close
[1:06:10]
proximity to and I'm talking about the
[1:06:12]
grocery anchor, but that's pretty
[1:06:14]
consistent. This is your street light
[1:06:16]
that I was referring to.
[1:06:20]
And this is just some stuff on site
[1:06:22]
lighting, but if you're comfortable with
[1:06:24]
that, uh the 25 foot light pole means it
[1:06:27]
has a 27 and a half foot mounting.
[1:06:29]
>> This is in the development agreement. So
[1:06:30]
you're requiring this of
[1:06:31]
>> I I haven't put it in it's not in there
[1:06:34]
yet but it will be. I I [clears throat]
[1:06:35]
was looking for this kind of direction.
[1:06:37]
>> So you're looking to put it in that's
[1:06:39]
>> and and I think based on the
[1:06:41]
conversation with Malcolm is we we would
[1:06:43]
do a 22 and a half foot pole. Have the
[1:06:46]
light be at 25 because the shortest part
[1:06:49]
of the ger anchor is 26 feet tall. The
[1:06:52]
light poles will just be a foot under
[1:06:53]
the height of that. Now there's going to
[1:06:55]
be popups where it goes up a little
[1:06:57]
taller but the shortest part of the
[1:06:58]
building
[1:07:02]
That's the idea. Around the perimeter,
[1:07:04]
there was some concern about light
[1:07:06]
pulling across the property line and so
[1:07:07]
forth. And we had recommended possibly
[1:07:09]
going a little shorter. It'll be a 20ft
[1:07:11]
bowl on a 2 and 12t base.
[1:07:16]
Here's the exterior of the building. And
[1:07:19]
again, if
[1:07:22]
you don't like what's here, tell us this
[1:07:26]
was done for Eagle Mountain.
[1:07:29]
They wanted a rural building, so it has
[1:07:31]
a totally different.
[1:07:33]
>> There's only two of these. One's in
[1:07:35]
Gilbert, Arizona, and there's one going
[1:07:37]
to be in Eagle Mountain.
[1:07:39]
>> It'd be nice if we had a picture. Did
[1:07:40]
they build again?
[1:07:42]
>> No. Um, it it has a little bit different
[1:07:46]
uh stone and different things on the
[1:07:48]
outside. And Eagle Mountains is a little
[1:07:49]
bit different. Eagle Mountain has a
[1:07:51]
theme of the Pony Express. So, some of
[1:07:54]
you that have been out to the West
[1:07:55]
Desert have seen those structures. were
[1:07:57]
built out of stones and they just wanted
[1:07:59]
to have some stone that matched that
[1:08:01]
type of architecture.
[1:08:02]
>> Has more of a take on
[1:08:07]
» and and we we we were told a long quite
[1:08:11]
a few meetings ago that there's some
[1:08:13]
interest you know would would somebody
[1:08:15]
object to if we had a I don't know a
[1:08:17]
wagon wheel and a hitching post and so I
[1:08:20]
went back to Smiths and I said I think
[1:08:22]
we ought to take the Gilbert Arizona
[1:08:24]
plan. So that's that's what we present.
[1:08:27]
But but you may say we don't want board
[1:08:32]
white arctic white board.
[1:08:34]
>> We're a long ways away here.
[1:08:39]
» But this would be in the development
[1:08:40]
agreement.
[1:08:41]
>> So I think it's important to represent
[1:08:43]
that if you want this, you got to tell
[1:08:45]
us now and it's going to be in the
[1:08:47]
development agreement. And that's step
[1:08:48]
three. That's the most important part of
[1:08:50]
getting this thing done. Here's what the
[1:08:52]
fuel center would look like.
[1:08:54]
And just to give you an idea of that,
[1:08:55]
it's very similar. Sorry, the picture
[1:08:57]
was blurry. It was taken at night.
[1:08:59]
>> How many pumps
[1:09:01]
>> this would be? I gota go back to the
[1:09:03]
seven. This is a 7 MPD, but let me jump
[1:09:06]
back here to make sure.
[1:09:08]
>> Speculate. I don't know estimate.
[1:09:10]
>> I can tell you exactly.
[1:09:12]
>> 16.
[1:09:14]
>> So there's six.
[1:09:15]
>> Not from you.
[1:09:17]
>> It's there's 12 fueling stations. It's
[1:09:19]
going to be six. [clears throat] Eight.
[1:09:20]
Seven. It's a seven.
[1:09:23]
It's the same as what's in the picture.
[1:09:25]
Sorry, I just wasn't sure. So, it's
[1:09:28]
going to it's going to be that's a 7
[1:09:30]
MPV. There's three on this side, one in
[1:09:33]
front of the kiosk, and there's four
[1:09:34]
over there.
[1:09:36]
>> This is my Smiths, by the way. It's
[1:09:37]
right behind me.
[1:09:41]
» So, anyway, that's just what it looks
[1:09:42]
like.
[1:09:43]
>> Seven pumps,
[1:09:45]
>> seven product dispensers, 14 fueling
[1:09:48]
stations,
[1:09:48]
>> two on
[1:09:50]
two station.
[1:09:51]
>> Good guess. Good. Yes. Okay. This would
[1:09:55]
be uh just a proposed architecture for
[1:09:58]
the outuildings uh on the pads. And
[1:10:01]
again, what Malcolm had asked is, "Hey,
[1:10:02]
can you just show us the percentage of
[1:10:04]
the material?" So, we added those couple
[1:10:05]
of notes in there to get that
[1:10:09]
signage. We have a signage plan that is
[1:10:13]
now in the development agreement for
[1:10:15]
review. the proximity to the new roadway
[1:10:19]
that's going to be built west corridor.
[1:10:22]
This is very tall sign trying to reach
[1:10:24]
out to those folks on that roadway. It's
[1:10:26]
50 ft tall. [clears throat] Give you an
[1:10:27]
idea of what it looked like at night or
[1:10:29]
what it looked like in the daytime.
[1:10:31]
>> That would be Can you go right back?
[1:10:36]
» That would be out on the main.
[1:10:39]
So it be on the entry road.
[1:10:41]
>> It's right here currently. Now it could
[1:10:46]
be over here. Um we're I don't think at
[1:10:49]
this stage we're too emotionally tied up
[1:10:52]
one of the two corners.
[1:10:53]
>> Well that guest changer sign would be on
[1:10:56]
that also or separate
[1:10:57]
>> it. It would be on it up at the top
[1:11:01]
where the incur logo would go
[1:11:04]
out for a sign in these zones. There's
[1:11:08]
going to be in the gater development. Is
[1:11:10]
there an interest for a monument looking
[1:11:13]
sign in the PV zone to name it and have
[1:11:15]
it there?
[1:11:19]
» I don't know if there's an interest, but
[1:11:20]
if it's a requirement,
[1:11:22]
>> yeah, the ones we've seen after a while,
[1:11:24]
nobody cares what they're called.
[1:11:29]
» So, the sign plan maximum 50 ft height.
[1:11:34]
What would your preference be on height?
[1:11:36]
That look sounds awful tall to me.
[1:11:38]
>> So this would be on 55 and then over on
[1:11:41]
47 it's a 30 foot tall sign.
[1:11:45]
>> This one's Oh, this one's 50 and this
[1:11:48]
one up to 4700.
[1:11:53]
» And again, we we have to start
[1:11:56]
somewhere. So we put that up. And that
[1:11:58]
was what uh if you go to the le the new
[1:12:01]
Smith store that was just opened in
[1:12:03]
Lehi, these signs you could actually
[1:12:08]
What's the ones in West Point? That's
[1:12:11]
>> uh the ones in West Point are a little
[1:12:13]
bit shorter. I bet they're not more than
[1:12:14]
30. I can bring you the pictures of
[1:12:17]
>> 30 or 35.
[1:12:18]
>> That sounds more appealing to me. I
[1:12:20]
would tell you that
[1:12:23]
those are tall signs for sure from other
[1:12:24]
things I've done.
[1:12:30]
» The sign
[1:12:30]
>> I understand you do want to have a good
[1:12:32]
sign. We have a lot of tenants in this
[1:12:34]
development. There's a lot of buildings
[1:12:36]
and you do want good sign to help
[1:12:37]
provide.
[1:12:39]
>> Could we do a separate guess?
[1:12:40]
>> What we would if if the interest would
[1:12:43]
be to go shorter. Let me just throw this
[1:12:45]
shirt.
[1:12:46]
>> The idea would be can we just take some
[1:12:49]
of the space off the legs,
[1:12:50]
>> but we want to because of the trying to
[1:12:53]
get to a power center. We're really
[1:12:54]
interested in for those tenants. But
[1:12:57]
that's obviously a landlord dec.
[1:13:01]
So maybe just pull the legs down a
[1:13:03]
little bit.
[1:13:04]
>> Yeah, the Cville Smiths and the West
[1:13:06]
Point Smiths have exactly the same sign.
[1:13:08]
Just the name of the shopping center is
[1:13:09]
the only thing.
[1:13:12]
>> Same.
[1:13:15]
» Yeah,
[1:13:16]
>> this would be a little monument sign
[1:13:17]
we'd have out in front of the fuel
[1:13:19]
center in addition to the two pricing
[1:13:20]
signs on the top.
[1:13:23]
And we may want something like that
[1:13:26]
signp.
[1:13:30]
» So now you've seen all the signs. Let me
[1:13:32]
go back to the
[1:13:33]
>> usually very probably see by any city.
[1:13:35]
So I've been out to look at some Smiths.
[1:13:38]
I haven't even paid no attention to the
[1:13:39]
signs. Now I got to go back and look and
[1:13:42]
see what they look like. [laughter]
[1:13:44]
>> That just tells you how invisible they
[1:13:46]
really are.
[1:13:47]
>> Yeah, [laughter]
[1:13:49]
we have 15. So let's keep going. Okay,
[1:13:52]
that's all I really have which are the
[1:13:54]
basic exhibits. We we still owe you a
[1:13:58]
phototric plan and we owe you an outdoor
[1:14:01]
storage plan. And if I can jump I'll
[1:14:04]
just jump back to our site plan
[1:14:07]
because I most of you that have been to
[1:14:10]
a Smith store know that along the front
[1:14:12]
sidewalk they just like to put
[1:14:14]
windshield wiper fluid out there.
[1:14:16]
There's a lime tree that my wife tells
[1:14:18]
me I should spend $30 to buy every time
[1:14:20]
we go there.
[1:14:22]
>> A few things like that. So, there's some
[1:14:23]
patio furniture and different things and so that's what they're asking for by
[1:14:28]
outdoor storage. They might want to ask
[1:14:30]
about can we put a tent out here and
[1:14:32]
sell some fireworks or I know that's
[1:14:35]
kind of a bad connotation with this year
[1:14:37]
being so dry, but sometimes they want to
[1:14:39]
have a little parking lot sale or a case
[1:14:42]
lot sale or something
[1:14:43]
>> when they bring their when they bring
[1:14:44]
their
[1:14:50]
and stuff like that.
[1:14:52]
>> So, and then the parking corrals, uh, we
[1:14:55]
just we could show you what those look
[1:14:57]
like if you have an interest. One city
[1:14:59]
wanted to see the picture of that. Um,
[1:15:03]
just again, we we're looking for
[1:15:07]
can you can you establish some like
[1:15:09]
again, one question that was asked is
[1:15:11]
how tall is the fence?
[1:15:12]
>> Let's let's open it up for questions.
[1:15:14]
Okay, sounds great. Like because we need
[1:15:16]
to know how tall do you want the fence
[1:15:17]
to be?
[1:15:18]
>> Well,
[1:15:20]
is there a fence?
[1:15:22]
>> We have a landing separation.
[1:15:24]
>> Go look at the one in Cville. It's what
[1:15:27]
we've done is the taller when you get a
[1:15:30]
fence that's too tall, you feel like
[1:15:31]
you're
[1:15:34]
>> back up a few feet.
[1:15:40]
I think
[1:15:43]
» it's about four feet I guess by
[1:15:45]
>> it's been a few years.
[1:15:47]
>> Oh, the fence is
[1:15:48]
>> the fence is six.
[1:15:53]
» Because Yeah. The property behind the
[1:15:55]
Cisville Smiths is higher than the Smith
[1:15:58]
store. And as a result of that, we were
[1:16:00]
able to slope the ground down in front.
[1:16:02]
[clears throat]
[1:16:06]
» What does the council want to see work
[1:16:08]
done? It's going to come to you.
[1:16:09]
>> I already have some concerns about open
[1:16:12]
space. I will take that.
[1:16:13]
>> Oh, I didn't talk about that and I
[1:16:15]
wanted to. Can I help resolve those
[1:16:17]
concerns?
[1:16:18]
>> Yes.
[1:16:18]
>> So, we have the park area. We've got the
[1:16:20]
detention basin area. We We'd really
[1:16:22]
like to just get creative on how open
[1:16:25]
space is calculated.
[1:16:27]
If the front yards of the residential
[1:16:30]
homes could be considered in the open
[1:16:32]
space,
[1:16:33]
>> um that's just where we're trying to
[1:16:35]
look at. Okay, we got to open space
[1:16:38]
really isn't well maybe [snorts] it is
[1:16:39]
defined under the current code. Um what
[1:16:43]
we were trying to bring because the
[1:16:44]
planning commission members said the
[1:16:46]
same thing. Blake came to me after
[1:16:48]
commissioner s I should be more
[1:16:50]
respectful. Uh he came to me after he
[1:16:52]
said, "You don't have enough open
[1:16:53]
space." And I said, "Well, really, we
[1:16:56]
kind of do. We've got about 50% we're bringing you commercial instead of
[1:17:02]
40% open space at your current code
[1:17:04]
corner. So, we just were hoping that would be looked at differently.
[1:17:09]
>> We'd like to try to do a uh again some
[1:17:13]
type of
[1:17:16]
side grading. It would be nice if we
[1:17:18]
could combine the detention basic
[1:17:24]
we're going to need some fill here to
[1:17:26]
make this work.
[1:17:28]
>> It's not a good word.
[1:17:29]
>> Yeah, it's not. But we we need to get
[1:17:32]
into that a little bit. There's a lot of
[1:17:33]
dirt burned in different places and we
[1:17:36]
got to figure out how much there is. So
[1:17:38]
open space is another one. Could we
[1:17:39]
count the front yards? Can we, you know,
[1:17:43]
again, aggregate the two detention bases
[1:17:45]
together? Things like that. try to get a
[1:17:47]
little more creative and have it be more
[1:17:50]
than say the four or 5% we shown because
[1:17:52]
we only have an acre. So it's like one
[1:17:55]
divided by 50 if we're going to look at
[1:17:57]
it that way or does the open space only
[1:17:59]
apply to the residential which would
[1:18:01]
then be one divided by about 25.
[1:18:04]
>> So so I'll be on the other side of that.
[1:18:06]
Uh I went and got the general plan and
[1:18:09]
uh we're well over the open space that
[1:18:13]
the general plan asked for right now. It
[1:18:16]
says 12. We're at about 10.6
[1:18:20]
with what you're saying people are
[1:18:23]
bringing in here. Okay. We would really
[1:18:25]
only need a uh and the projection of
[1:18:28]
people in 2040
[1:18:32]
uh shows that we would need a half acre
[1:18:34]
of uh green space in this development to
[1:18:38]
equal
[1:18:40]
that uh six to 12. That would be on the
[1:18:44]
low side. It' be at six. I mean, but uh
[1:18:47]
you know, we also all these parks we
[1:18:50]
have to maintain or open space we've got
[1:18:52]
to pay people to take care of it and we
[1:18:56]
are with what they've got there, we
[1:18:59]
would be uh if you count the uh
[1:19:02]
detention basin, then we're going to be
[1:19:04]
just over that six. So, I'm just throw
[1:19:07]
I'm just throwing this out. Is that an
[1:19:10]
HOA maintained little pocket park or is
[1:19:13]
that a
[1:19:16]
HOA.
[1:19:17]
>> So, so we'd have to walk through it.
[1:19:20]
>> I think one thing in the same
[1:19:24]
you can't the problem you got with the
[1:19:26]
HOA maintain anything
[1:19:29]
is if you have 75 acres and you have 200
[1:19:35]
units of home, you can maintain open
[1:19:38]
space. But when you have 20 acres of
[1:19:41]
ground and you got to put that to each
[1:19:44]
homeowner, they get really upset. I've
[1:19:47]
heard them when they're paying their
[1:19:48]
taxes and then they're also paying
[1:19:53]
their own park and the park's bigger
[1:19:55]
than what their project, you know, it's
[1:19:57]
a bigger park. I I just hear it all the
[1:19:59]
time. So, you got to be careful that you
[1:20:01]
got to proportionately
[1:20:04]
this or you're going to get people that
[1:20:06]
are feeling like they're subsidizing the
[1:20:09]
city and then eventually they come to
[1:20:10]
the city and get you to take it. People
[1:20:13]
really do not like H.
[1:20:19]
» Well, I think if the retention basin is
[1:20:21]
closer is like attached to the open
[1:20:24]
space, that would be huge because we
[1:20:26]
have like there's a retention base up by
[1:20:28]
my house, then it makes no sense
[1:20:30]
whatsoever because it's 20 ft away from
[1:20:33]
the drain ditch that it would drain
[1:20:34]
into. And I don't even know why we
[1:20:36]
didn't just dump the water into the
[1:20:39]
drain ditch rather than making a
[1:20:42]
retention basin. That serves no purpose.
[1:20:46]
>> Just it makes me crazy every time I
[1:20:48]
drive by. It's like put a pipe out to
[1:20:50]
the ditch.
[1:20:54]
» Yeah.
[1:20:55]
Just silly language.
[1:20:59]
>> Be a lot easier to make a nice flat
[1:21:01]
green space.
[1:21:02]
>> I think in the same space functionality
[1:21:05]
is important. I don't uh it'd be nice to
[1:21:07]
see I don't know how you think we can
[1:21:09]
make some connectivity throughout this
[1:21:11]
make it a little more walkable
[1:21:12]
potentially. I mean there'll be sidewalk
[1:21:14]
anticipated.
[1:21:15]
>> I can show you walkways.
[1:21:16]
>> Yeah. I don't know if we could have a
[1:21:17]
walkway some walkways. I think those
[1:21:19]
could go a long ways and they wouldn't
[1:21:20]
you know require space [clears throat]
[1:21:22]
but then any amenities and that's where
[1:21:24]
the council really direction. I don't
[1:21:25]
know what that park looks like and I
[1:21:27]
don't
[1:21:27]
>> Well, that's with the green subdivision
[1:21:29]
they have.
[1:21:30]
>> I think the park could look really cool.
[1:21:33]
we have something on the park that
[1:21:35]
really makes it worth, you know, having
[1:21:36]
the park
[1:21:38]
>> and the the planning the conversation
[1:21:40]
the planning commission had is they're
[1:21:42]
like green field is nice but I think we
[1:21:44]
need something better. And so I think
[1:21:46]
you're going to hear that
[1:21:47]
recommendation.
[1:21:48]
>> You don't have the space to
[1:21:50]
realistically to make it better than
[1:21:52]
green fields because Greenfields has I
[1:21:54]
don't know 100 acres of residential
[1:21:57]
probably
[1:21:58]
>> I could pull it up but you're not
[1:22:01]
dealing with anything that So, I need to
[1:22:03]
help myself. I mean, they got a fish
[1:22:04]
pond and everything else that ain't
[1:22:06]
going to fit here.
[1:22:07]
>> What you have right there is probably
[1:22:09]
nicer than what you put in.
[1:22:11]
>> More questions because you only got a
[1:22:13]
couple of minutes here. So, I'd like to
[1:22:15]
think I've got all mine answered.
[1:22:16]
>> I mean, I think we spent an hour
[1:22:18]
completely in the weeds to be honest
[1:22:20]
with you. There's such major questions
[1:22:22]
that go with this development agreement
[1:22:24]
that haven't even been touched on right
[1:22:27]
now that we could take the next three
[1:22:29]
hours and go over this development
[1:22:31]
agreement line by line and have a
[1:22:32]
million questions. I mean, I'll just
[1:22:34]
start with the financing. You know,
[1:22:36]
section five of the developers agreement
[1:22:38]
talks about um it says the city shall
[1:22:41]
provide to the developer by means of
[1:22:43]
bonding or other revenue sources funds
[1:22:45]
to pay for the development of public
[1:22:47]
infrastructure related to the project.
[1:22:49]
So the city is responsible for the
[1:22:51]
funding of this project and the develop
[1:22:53]
or the infrastructure. Why is the
[1:22:55]
developer not responsible for any buyin
[1:22:57]
whatsoever when it comes to
[1:22:59]
infrastructure? Why is the city on the
[1:23:01]
hook for all of it?
[1:23:02]
>> We've changed that and
[1:23:04]
>> well that's not what this says right
[1:23:05]
here. I appreciate that because that's
[1:23:07]
what's in your packet and had to be sent
[1:23:09]
to you a week ago.
[1:23:10]
>> I've had Cody Der review it and Rob Sam
[1:23:13]
and they provided
[1:23:16]
a recommendation.
[1:23:19]
So like because that's been mentioned
[1:23:22]
>> that would be a nice thing but we're
[1:23:23]
going to put the sewer and water in and
[1:23:25]
finance all the improvements. So I don't
[1:23:26]
know that may be in the development but
[1:23:29]
I think that that's in there for dealing
[1:23:34]
with the
[1:23:34]
>> 5.1
[1:23:36]
>> it was in there because that we were
[1:23:37]
looking for direction. We now have the
[1:23:39]
direction and the direction is if the
[1:23:42]
city's going to participate in this
[1:23:43]
project at all it'll be by a separate
[1:23:44]
agreement which will be known as a
[1:23:46]
participation agreement or funding
[1:23:48]
agreement and right now the developer
[1:23:50]
would be responsible to build the
[1:23:52]
improvements.
[1:23:53]
>> Yeah. But but some of that you got the
[1:23:56]
sewer list station and we don't know
[1:23:58]
what oversized improvements are even in
[1:24:01]
5500 and we just need to figure out what
[1:24:05]
the city wants to do. as you do the CRA,
[1:24:09]
what you don't want to do is restrict
[1:24:11]
the city council from being able to uh
[1:24:16]
do things that they want to do
[1:24:19]
with what you put into the make sense.
[1:24:23]
>> So Rob,
[1:24:24]
>> you may have something you want to do
[1:24:26]
that it's beyond this.
[1:24:29]
>> Is this referencing uh what they call
[1:24:31]
post uh post performance payment to the
[1:24:34]
developer with the CRA? That's what Rob
[1:24:37]
Sant recommended with the West Point and
[1:24:39]
the Kisville
[1:24:41]
>> could be sometime reimbursement
[1:24:44]
participate.
[1:24:44]
>> This is we worked on this. I got your
[1:24:46]
Did you take Rob? This is Rob.
[1:24:48]
>> This is the exact words we
[1:24:50]
>> I'll ask Rob Brian. I don't know. I just
[1:24:52]
like I had Rob and u
[1:24:55]
Cody I say do section five what you're
[1:24:58]
going to recommend. We're paying Rob and
[1:25:00]
Cody right. We want what they recommend
[1:25:01]
is I'm assuming what the council's going
[1:25:03]
to do. you guys.
[1:25:05]
>> So, so the project or at least
[1:25:07]
>> I'm reading a version that I got before
[1:25:09]
this one that I didn't so
[1:25:12]
>> I had no idea.
[1:25:13]
>> Has that packet gone out to everybody?
[1:25:16]
>> This is brand new
[1:25:19]
because we're getting that. So, thank
[1:25:20]
you.
[1:25:20]
>> So, so this will go to the planning
[1:25:22]
commission and then from the planning
[1:25:24]
commission this will come to you as a
[1:25:25]
new agreement.
[1:25:26]
>> So, there are project improvements which
[1:25:28]
we will put in that's a curb gard
[1:25:31]
sidewalk in front of all the homes.
[1:25:34]
nor the road base. But then there are
[1:25:38]
there then there are system or community
[1:25:40]
improvements. That would be like a water
[1:25:43]
tank or a sewer treatment plant. Uh
[1:25:46]
typically subdivisions don't build those
[1:25:49]
or they don't build sewer lift stations
[1:25:51]
that benefit a large area of the city
[1:25:53]
because it's not fair for those few
[1:25:56]
homes to be able to take that on. So
[1:25:58]
that's what is you know they'll they'll
[1:26:00]
be community they'll be community assets
[1:26:03]
I suppose that that probably will
[1:26:06]
>> this was
[1:26:08]
equally as agitating to the planning
[1:26:10]
commission members and so we got the
[1:26:13]
direction we were looking for and it's
[1:26:14]
now been included and I apologize that
[1:26:17]
we we got the information we just had to
[1:26:19]
get this in the packet we didn't have
[1:26:20]
the information yet so that's that's why
[1:26:23]
you don't
[1:26:24]
>> keep going more questions those are good
[1:26:25]
ones that's a really good question Um
[1:26:29]
the other thing is the um land use map.
[1:26:32]
I mean we've had this land use map for
[1:26:35]
our general plan since the beginning of
[1:26:37]
the city 25 years. And now it seems like
[1:26:41]
a developer walking in the door and
[1:26:43]
saying we're going to add section D and
[1:26:45]
section E to our land use map just
[1:26:48]
specifically for our development rather
[1:26:50]
than following our current ordinances. I
[1:26:52]
mean take for example the R3 zoning. You
[1:26:55]
guys are coming in here saying, "Hey, we
[1:26:57]
want to change the frontage from our
[1:26:58]
current ordinance of 100 feet to 85
[1:27:01]
feet. We want to change the PUB from 40%
[1:27:04]
open space to we're going to give you
[1:27:06]
some commercial. We're going to change
[1:27:08]
this to this. We're going to add a D and
[1:27:10]
an E that doesn't even exist in our
[1:27:11]
current land use map." I feel like the
[1:27:14]
planning commission and the city council
[1:27:17]
and the public is responsible for
[1:27:20]
creating the general plan in the land
[1:27:22]
use map, not the developer. The
[1:27:24]
developer should not walk in the door
[1:27:26]
and say, "We got a D and an E that's
[1:27:27]
going to be put on our land use map."
[1:27:29]
That's our decision.
[1:27:31]
>> What was the frontage on on I I don't
[1:27:34]
know. I'm asking [clears throat] third
[1:27:36]
acre lots
[1:27:37]
>> because we do have third acre lots. What
[1:27:39]
was it? I know halfacre or 100.
[1:27:42]
>> So, was third acre 100 or were they?
[1:27:44]
>> They were both 100.
[1:27:45]
>> They were both. So what we're we're
[1:27:47]
getting is a little bit of conflicting
[1:27:49]
direction which is happens but you went
[1:27:53]
up and saw a project that which was a
[1:27:56]
destination it was homestead and you
[1:27:59]
said we like it to look like that and so
[1:28:02]
we come back and so we're following that
[1:28:05]
direction and everybody and there may be
[1:28:08]
some that want it to look like that
[1:28:10]
maybe others that don't we understand
[1:28:12]
different opinions
[1:28:14]
>> but So, so to respond to your thought is
[1:28:18]
there's two reasons for the change. One
[1:28:19]
is you finally located your commercial
[1:28:23]
and if you're going to do patio homes
[1:28:26]
and those type of things, they probably
[1:28:28]
better walk next to commercial. So,
[1:28:30]
we're asking for those varants. There's
[1:28:32]
no change in the master plans and we're
[1:28:35]
trying to match the project you've seen
[1:28:36]
because you like kind of the
[1:28:39]
>> and that's kind of a feeling a lot of us
[1:28:40]
have talked about on the council is we
[1:28:42]
like patio homes. You know, patio we
[1:28:44]
have a patio home development over here
[1:28:47]
um on the south side.
[1:28:48]
>> Fantastic.
[1:28:49]
>> And it's been a fantastic neighborhood.
[1:28:51]
You know, it's a 55 plus community
[1:28:53]
granted, but it's what we feel fit for
[1:28:57]
our city. It was the patio homes, you
[1:28:59]
know, these homes on these cottage lots.
[1:29:01]
That's a whole new concept to me and a
[1:29:04]
lot of people. And so, it's going to
[1:29:06]
take some I don't know if I'll ever be
[1:29:09]
convinced that's the right thing to do
[1:29:10]
above a patio lot or a patio home.
[1:29:14]
>> But we're putting those smaller ones in
[1:29:16]
to be able to get our kids and
[1:29:19]
grandchildren
[1:29:20]
>> $500,000 a piece. Well, you know, uh
[1:29:24]
when I bought my uh first home for
[1:29:27]
40,000, uh you know, 45 years ago,
[1:29:31]
people thought that that was an
[1:29:32]
outrageous price.
[1:29:34]
>> That brings up another thing about the
[1:29:35]
rental clause. Are we are is there a
[1:29:38]
rental clause that prevents rentals in
[1:29:40]
the first 10 years of ownership?
[1:29:42]
>> Enforcement seems to be what we're down
[1:29:43]
to. Who's going to enforce that? The
[1:29:45]
request was make the HOA do it, and
[1:29:48]
there's been some concern about the
[1:29:50]
HOA's ability to legally do that. But
[1:29:53]
yes, there is language provided and it
[1:29:55]
was language suggested by the city.
[1:29:57]
>> So, we just need to get attorney to help
[1:29:59]
us.
[1:30:01]
>> Thank you. We're out of time.
[1:30:04]
>> Thank you for coming.
[1:30:07]
If you have more questions
[1:30:12]
» all
[1:30:24]
thank you for your time. Thanks for
[1:30:26]
coming out.
[1:30:30]
» Hey, they're working on over there 1800.
[1:30:34]
They're working over there.
[1:30:47]
That's
[1:30:49]
right.
[1:31:35]
Whatever.

[1:33:47]
communities therein that they will be

[1:34:22]
» Thank you. We're going to just want to

[1:34:25]
upcoming events. We have our Herper
[1:34:28]
Tomato Days that starts on August 31st
[1:34:31]
with our community dinner and it's a
[1:34:33]
dinner and a dance and there's
[1:34:35]
activities for the children. All Her
[1:34:37]
residents should be giving this within
[1:34:39]
the next couple of days. Um it's the
[1:34:42]
newsletter that comes out and it's
[1:34:44]
really handy for you to have because it
[1:34:46]
has all of the schedule tomato days is
[1:34:49]
going to be. So, make sure you hang on
[1:34:51]
to this so you know what time when those
[1:34:53]
events are going to be.
[1:34:57]
So, the next thing we have on our agenda
[1:34:59]
are public comments. If you would like
[1:35:02]
to make a public comment, please come up
[1:35:04]
to the microphone, state your name. You

[1:35:09]
recorder Morgan will direct you when
[1:35:11]

minute time not one minute.
[1:35:24]
>> Oh I'm sorry I apologize. Three minute
[1:35:26]
time.
[1:35:36]
» My name is tutor. Um, good evening,
[1:35:39]
mayor and city council members. I'm here
[1:35:41]
tonight speaking for our kids and the
[1:35:43]
families who are simply asking for a
[1:35:44]
reasonable opportunity to practice in
[1:35:46]
the community where they live. We
[1:35:48]
understand the city has a responsibility
[1:35:49]
to protect our parks, especially during
[1:35:51]
drought conditions. We support
[1:35:53]
responsible water conservation and we
[1:35:55]
aren't asking for limited access or
[1:35:56]
asking the city to ignore concerns about
[1:35:58]
the field. Mayor Bingham has offered one
[1:36:00]
day per week for practice and we
[1:36:01]
appreciate the willingness to
[1:36:02]
compromise. However, one day a week is
[1:36:04]
not a reasonable solution for kids who
[1:36:06]
are still expected to play games every
[1:36:08]
week. Football is a contact sport. These
[1:36:10]
kids need time to safely learn,
[1:36:12]
tackling, blocking, conditioning, and
[1:36:13]
proper technique. That is why we are
[1:36:15]
asking for three days per week,
[1:36:17]
approximately an hour and a half each
[1:36:18]
day while rotating practice areas to
[1:36:20]
minimize wear. We're willing to work
[1:36:22]
with the city, but I also think it's
[1:36:23]
important to acknowledge how we got
[1:36:24]
here. Signs are placed throughout the
[1:36:26]
park stating water conservation in
[1:36:28]
effect, followed by no organized sports.
[1:36:30]
We understand the need to conserve
[1:36:32]
water, but residents deserve
[1:36:33]
clarification on how prohibiting
[1:36:35]
organized practices reduces the city's
[1:36:37]
water usage. If the concern is field
[1:36:39]
wear, then let's address field wear
[1:36:41]
directly. Rotating practice areas
[1:36:43]
limiting time and temporary closures of
[1:36:45]
areas that need recovery. The signs also
[1:36:47]
state that organized athletic activities
[1:36:49]
are prohibited. Yet to our knowledge,
[1:36:50]
this restriction was not brought before
[1:36:52]
the city council for public discussion
[1:36:53]
or a vote. And we have been unable to
[1:36:56]
locate a formally adopted ordinance
[1:36:58]
prohibiting organized use practices in
[1:37:00]
our parks. If we're mistaken, we welcome
[1:37:02]
that clarification. But when a
[1:37:03]
restriction affects as many families and
[1:37:05]
community members, there should be
[1:37:06]
transparency about the policy and how
[1:37:08]
that decision was made. I want to be
[1:37:10]
clear. I cannot control what other
[1:37:12]
people say, post, or how they respond to
[1:37:13]
this situation. But I speak for myself
[1:37:15]
and the families I represent tonight.
[1:37:17]
I'm not here to create division or
[1:37:19]
attack you. I'm here because our kids
[1:37:20]
need a reasonable place to practice and
[1:37:22]
I believe we can support them while
[1:37:23]
protecting our parks. The parks were
[1:37:25]
created to serve the community and youth
[1:37:27]
sports are part of that community. They
[1:37:29]
bring families together, teach our kids
[1:37:30]
teamwork, responsibility, commitment,
[1:37:32]
and perseverance. For some of our kids,
[1:37:34]
having an accessible field here matters.
[1:37:36]
Some walk or ride their bikes because
[1:37:37]
their parents are working. Simply
[1:37:39]
telling teams to go somewhere else
[1:37:41]
doesn't mean every child can get there.
[1:37:43]
We don't believe the city has to choose
[1:37:44]
between protecting our parks, supporting
[1:37:46]
our kids. We can do both. We're not
[1:37:48]
asking you tonight to decide who was
[1:37:50]
right or wrong and how we got here.
[1:37:51]
We're asking you to help decide where we
[1:37:53]
go from here. Give these kids three days
[1:37:55]
a week. Let us rotate our practice
[1:37:57]
areas, give us reasonable guidelines,
[1:37:58]
and hold us accountable for following
[1:38:00]
them. If there are concerns, then let's
[1:38:02]
try for the remainder of the season and
[1:38:04]
evaluate the condition of the field
[1:38:05]
afterwards. Three days, responsible use,
[1:38:08]
rotating areas, and accountability. We
[1:38:11]
believe that's a reasonable compromise
[1:38:12]
and shows these kids that when there's a
[1:38:14]
challenge, our community is willing to
[1:38:16]
work together to find a solution. Thank
[1:38:18]
you,
[1:38:26]
» Bryce Wilcox residents. Uh I agree 100%
[1:38:29]
with Paige. As far as I know, only half
[1:38:32]
the city council was involved in that or
[1:38:34]
I think the whole city council should
[1:38:36]
have been involved in it. Um some of my
[1:38:38]
fondest memories as a kid was
[1:38:41]
football. There's no reason why Hooper
[1:38:43]
City shouldn't accommodate these
[1:38:44]
children.
[1:38:46]
It's it's it's ridiculous. The other
[1:38:48]
thing I wanted to comment on, I know the
[1:38:50]
Terara Strata deal is a big issue right
[1:38:52]
now. I would just caution you that any
[1:38:55]
type of creative financing is going to
[1:38:58]
be bad for our city. Um, if you look at
[1:39:02]
the uh impact study,
[1:39:04]
it's going to take us several years
[1:39:06]
before we make any money. And I I bet
[1:39:10]
everything that the school district, the
[1:39:13]
fire district, within a matter of a
[1:39:14]
couple years, maybe five, maybe 10,
[1:39:16]
they're going to back out because
[1:39:17]
they're going to want the money and
[1:39:18]
we're going to be left with back. So,
[1:39:21]
I'm not opposed to the Smiths. Um, I'm a
[1:39:23]
little concerned about the highdensity
[1:39:25]
housing. Um, however, as a city, you
[1:39:28]
guys need to protect us and our our
[1:39:31]
money. It's it's not your money. It's
[1:39:33]
not Stuart Evans. He's the one that made
[1:39:34]
all the rules. So don't get backed up by
[1:39:37]
him in a corner and make him call the
[1:39:41]
shots. You guys call the shots. Do
[1:39:42]
what's best for the city and for the
[1:39:44]
citizens long term, not just short term.
[1:39:47]
Oh, we get a Smith, we're going to get
[1:39:48]
money. Yeah, we will, but it's going to
[1:39:51]
take time. You just don't get it like
[1:39:52]
that. Our our uh sheriff's fees going to
[1:39:56]
go up. Our wages are going to, you know,
[1:39:59]
our employees are going to have more
[1:40:01]
time spent there in that area
[1:40:03]
maintaining the roads. So be wise about
[1:40:06]
the development. I'm not opposed against
[1:40:07]
development, but just be wise about it.
[1:40:10]
Um, Mary, thanks.
[1:40:21]
Mayor, city council. My name is Ashley
[1:40:23]
Long Hooper, resident, taxpayer, most
[1:40:26]
importantly represent Westville tonight.
[1:40:28]
A mom, a football player. Um, my son is
[1:40:31]
directly affected by this decision and I
[1:40:33]
strongly disagree with these
[1:40:34]
restrictions from practicing at Upper
[1:40:36]
North Park. I understand we're in a
[1:40:38]
drought and we need to take care of our
[1:40:40]
parks. I personally been on the fields
[1:40:42]
every day, drive by him every day. Um,
[1:40:45]
the picture that's being painted that
[1:40:47]
our kids are destroying them, I don't
[1:40:48]
agree with. And we aren't asking for a
[1:40:51]
limited asset access.
[1:40:55]
Uh, we offer to work with the city. We
[1:40:57]
want to work with the city so that
[1:40:58]
everybody's supported just for a
[1:41:00]
reasonable schedule.
[1:41:03]
We offered to pay to use the park. We
[1:41:05]
were turned down. There was no
[1:41:06]
communication up front of we got a first
[1:41:09]
come first serve. Now we have nowhere to
[1:41:11]
go with our boys. Um
[1:41:15]
we didn't ask Cooper City to fund our
[1:41:17]
program, but also a lot of these boys
[1:41:20]
are Hooper City residents and we have no
[1:41:23]
recreation programs for them. So we have
[1:41:25]
to go to other cities. So for my son's
[1:41:28]
sake and everybody else, where are they
[1:41:30]
supposed to go? What do you want them to
[1:41:31]
do? You know, we don't have the access
[1:41:34]
or the support to support them. So we've
[1:41:37]
asked for a couple of days a week,
[1:41:40]
couple of months at any given time. Um
[1:41:44]
the other issue is is we want these boys
[1:41:46]
to go to Westfield or Royal or wherever
[1:41:48]
they go, but they only can get better
[1:41:51]
and play on high school teams if they
[1:41:53]
practice and learn from their mistakes.
[1:41:55]
The that dedication.
[1:41:58]
Um because high school players, let's be
[1:42:00]
real, they don't just wake up and decide
[1:42:02]
to play football today.
[1:42:05]
Um so we need a question like what do we
[1:42:07]
do with our boys before they even put on
[1:42:09]
a jersey? What are we showing them if we
[1:42:11]
can't be work together as a community to
[1:42:14]
support them and give them something
[1:42:16]
besides electronics
[1:42:18]
to do?
[1:42:21]
I don't think the park's being misused.
[1:42:22]
If there's something to prove us
[1:42:24]
different, we're not asking to use. We
[1:42:26]
can rotate or do whatever we need to do.
[1:42:30]
That's it.
[1:42:43]
My name is Brooke Wilcox and I would
[1:42:46]
like to read a letter that I wrote. It
[1:42:50]
says, "Dear and members of city. I am
[1:42:54]
also speaking today as both a parent and
[1:42:57]
a citizen who believes that our
[1:42:58]
community has responsibility to invest
[1:43:00]
in his children. The decision to
[1:43:02]
restrict our youth football program from
[1:43:04]
practicing at Hooper Civic Center is
[1:43:06]
deeply concerning.
[1:43:08]
We understand the importance of
[1:43:10]
maintaining those fields, but there has
[1:43:12]
to be a balance between protecting grass
[1:43:14]
and giving the kids a safe place to
[1:43:16]
play. I've done a little bit of homework
[1:43:18]
and I've looked into the condition and
[1:43:20]
the size of these fields with the number
[1:43:22]
and ages of our players, the hours that
[1:43:25]
they practice and how our coaches rotate
[1:43:28]
drills and spread the players throughout
[1:43:30]
the fields. The research that I've done
[1:43:32]
does not support the idea that this
[1:43:34]
level of youth football should destroy
[1:43:36]
these fields.
[1:43:38]
Normal wear is not destruction and it
[1:43:40]
can be managed through rotation,
[1:43:43]
ariation, receding, watering, and
[1:43:45]
routine maintenance. I also have
[1:43:48]
photographs from the last three years
[1:43:49]
that I brought with me if you'd like to
[1:43:51]
see over the football season. And the
[1:43:54]
grass this year actually appears to be
[1:43:56]
in better condition than previous years.
[1:44:00]
We have even offered our own money to
[1:44:01]
help treat and maintain the grass. We're
[1:44:03]
not asking to be part of the problem.
[1:44:05]
We're just asking to be part of the
[1:44:06]
solution because these aren't just
[1:44:08]
football practices. These boys are
[1:44:10]
learning discipline, accountability,
[1:44:12]
teamwork, leadership, and what it means
[1:44:14]
to show up for one another. Youth sports
[1:44:16]
gives them community structure,
[1:44:18]
mentorship, and a place to belong. These
[1:44:21]
kids are not a burden. They are doing
[1:44:24]
exactly what we want our kids to do.
[1:44:26]
Getting outside, working hard, listening
[1:44:28]
to coaches, and being part of something
[1:44:29]
positive. So, let's find a solution.
[1:44:33]
Rotate areas. Adjust
[1:44:35]
Reed the high use areas and let us help.
[1:44:38]
I invite every single one of you to come
[1:44:41]
to a practice and watch these boys work.
[1:44:44]
Meet the coaches and the families and
[1:44:46]
see for yourself what these two hours
[1:44:48]
mean for these boys because I know
[1:44:50]
firsthand what they can mean. I grew up
[1:44:52]
in a household where my mom was addicted
[1:44:54]
to meth and my dad was an alcoholic.
[1:44:57]
Sports was my only escape and it was my
[1:45:00]
safe place. For these few hours, I had
[1:45:03]
somewhere to go. People who expected me
[1:45:06]
to show up and something positive to
[1:45:07]
belong to. And when I look at these
[1:45:09]
boys, I know some of them are carrying
[1:45:12]
these things that we absolutely know
[1:45:13]
nothing about. For one child, football
[1:45:16]
may simply be something that he loves.
[1:45:19]
For another, those two hours may be the
[1:45:22]
safest two hours of his entire day. And
[1:45:25]
I know that because I was once that kid.
[1:45:27]
A field can be receded, a field can be
[1:45:29]
repaired, and a field can be maintained.
[1:45:31]
But we cannot give these years back to
[1:45:33]
these kids. It's so much more than just
[1:45:36]
grass. Our kids deserve a place to play
[1:45:38]
and these kids are worth investing in.
[1:45:41]
Thank you.
[1:45:49]
» I guess I'll say something.
[1:45:53]
[clears throat]
[1:45:54]
>> Um I just feel like I should have
[1:45:56]
because
[1:45:57]
>> state your name.
[1:45:58]
>> My name's Brian, guys.
[1:45:59]
>> Okay. Thank you.
[1:46:00]
Um, I just feel like for me if I'm going
[1:46:02]
to put something on social media, I
[1:46:04]
should at least come and uh show my face
[1:46:06]
and be willing to say it in person as
[1:46:08]
well. Um, that doesn't happen as much
[1:46:10]
nowadays. But I'll just read what I
[1:46:12]
wrote is I just said that the city had a
[1:46:14]
choice between uh protecting blades of
[1:46:16]
grass
[1:46:17]
um and our kids using the park we pay
[1:46:19]
for with our taxes and the city chose
[1:46:22]
grass over the kids.
[1:46:24]
Um, you know, one question I have is
[1:46:26]
that if we're so concerned about
[1:46:28]
protecting the grass, purple tomato
[1:46:30]
days, um, is great obviously, but
[1:46:34]
that's, uh, August 31st through
[1:46:36]
September 7th, and we're going to have
[1:46:38]
thousands of people all over the grass,
[1:46:41]
trampling the grass. If we're really
[1:46:43]
concerned about the grass and if that is
[1:46:44]
the issue is protecting the grass during
[1:46:47]
drought conditions then why are we still
[1:46:50]
you know why is it okay that we have her
[1:46:52]
tomato days but it's not okay that the
[1:46:54]
kids have a place to practice and again
[1:46:56]
I I mean no offense by this at all but I
[1:46:58]
just think that it's ironic that you
[1:47:00]
know we start this meeting with a prayer
[1:47:02]
and I think that's great but I think
[1:47:04]
that if the intention behind that and
[1:47:06]
that you know there's there's Christian
[1:47:07]
beliefs behind that I just don't see
[1:47:09]
that you know if we're looking at
[1:47:11]
something from that perspective that uh
[1:47:14]
there's no way that the kids would be
[1:47:16]
kicked off the grass there. And uh the
[1:47:18]
other thing too is just I just say thank
[1:47:21]
God that other cities and other city
[1:47:23]
councils are letting these kids play
[1:47:25]
somewhere else away from here otherwise
[1:47:28]
they would have nowhere to play. Um so I
[1:47:30]
think like was mentioned as well I mean
[1:47:32]
with kids nowadays as well like you know
[1:47:34]
spending time inside in front of their
[1:47:36]
screens like this is a good thing. So I
[1:47:38]
think it's just and again just
[1:47:39]
frustrating on my side. not sure that
[1:47:41]
there's, you know, reasons and
[1:47:43]
explanations, but the explanation that
[1:47:44]
was given, I guess, just doesn't make
[1:47:46]
sense. So, anyway,
[1:47:56]
hello. My name is John Beck. Uh, I
[1:47:58]
appreciate the opportunity of coming up
[1:47:59]
here and speaking with the mayor and
[1:48:00]
city council tonight. Um,
[1:48:03]
I uh missed the initial part of the city
[1:48:06]
council opening because I assisted in
[1:48:08]
responding to an emergency in Hooper as
[1:48:10]
I was driving over here and then
[1:48:12]
occupied um vehicle that was um
[1:48:15]
recklessly
[1:48:17]
uh spinning in circles with the driver
[1:48:19]
in the front seat. So, uh, we kind of
[1:48:23]
deputy was, uh, lucky to be close and
[1:48:25]
help in assisting that vehicle in
[1:48:26]
stopping and and and getting that, uh,
[1:48:29]
that driver who was unconscious medical
[1:48:31]
attention. I'm here tonight because the
[1:48:33]
city's decision to restrict organized
[1:48:34]
youth sports, especially especially
[1:48:37]
football, from our parks is directly
[1:48:38]
moving our children and families from
[1:48:39]
the very space that those parks were
[1:48:41]
built for. This policy is not about
[1:48:43]
making the fields maintenance or water
[1:48:44]
use or whether our children are allowed
[1:48:46]
to gather and play or grow in their
[1:48:48]
community. I understand that every
[1:48:49]
decision involves balancing uh competing
[1:48:52]
priorities. Understand that maintaining
[1:48:54]
our parks cost money and recognize the
[1:48:55]
severity of the drought Utah is facing.
[1:48:57]
Those are legitimate concerns. Many of
[1:48:59]
us have sacrificed our own homes and
[1:49:00]
lawns to conserve water. But mayor city
[1:49:03]
council has to consider something even
[1:49:04]
more valuable than grass, our children.
[1:49:06]
The decision to prohibit organized
[1:49:08]
sports, mainly football, from practicing
[1:49:10]
in our parks has driven children and
[1:49:11]
families out of the public spaces
[1:49:12]
intended for their use. Please think
[1:49:14]
about those words. You're driving
[1:49:16]
children and families out of your parks.
[1:49:20]
These aren't kids vandalizing our parks
[1:49:22]
causing problems. They're children and
[1:49:24]
families looking for a safe place where
[1:49:25]
young people can work hard, build
[1:49:26]
friendships, and learn positive
[1:49:28]
attitudes from mentors.
[1:49:30]
Youth sports aren't simply games.
[1:49:32]
They're one on the best investment the
[1:49:33]
community can make in his children.
[1:49:35]
Research constantly associates youth
[1:49:37]
sports and physical activity with better
[1:49:38]
physical health, academic achievement,
[1:49:40]
social connection, confidence,
[1:49:41]
resilience, teamwork, and leadership.
[1:49:43]
But I don't know this from research. I
[1:49:45]
spent 14 years as a law enforcement
[1:49:47]
officer, six of which were in Wever
[1:49:49]
County, four of which were on Weaver
[1:49:50]
County SWAT team serving members of
[1:49:52]
Hooper. I've met countless adults who
[1:49:54]
can still remember the coaches who
[1:49:56]
changed their lives. That football field
[1:49:57]
isn't grass. It's where kids learn
[1:49:59]
accountability. It's where they learn to
[1:50:01]
work through adversary adversary instead
[1:50:03]
of quitting. It's where they built
[1:50:05]
friendships instead of sitting alone
[1:50:07]
behind a screen at home. It's where they
[1:50:09]
spend two hours with positive coaches
[1:50:11]
and teammates. coaches who volunteer
[1:50:13]
their time freely instead of two hours
[1:50:15]
looking somewhere else to belong. That's
[1:50:17]
why I was so disappointed to hear the
[1:50:19]
suggestions that our children trouble
[1:50:19]
learning organized sports until high
[1:50:21]
school. By the time their kids reach
[1:50:23]
high school, they're just beginning to
[1:50:25]
teach discipline, work ethic, teamwork,
[1:50:27]
confidence, and pers perseverance.
[1:50:30]
Those foundations should already have
[1:50:32]
been built by the time they get there.
[1:50:35]
I made a comment online about free
[1:50:38]
scientific data. Data that is I work as
[1:50:41]
a cop with Utah Department of
[1:50:43]
Agriculture and Food and I know the
[1:50:44]
services that they could provide to
[1:50:46]
cities and assisting them with
[1:50:48]
evaluating their grass moisture content,
[1:50:51]
compactness, and other things like pH.
[1:50:57]
There are many opportunities that the
[1:50:58]
city council has that do not cost money,
[1:51:01]
do not impact the city's budget, and
[1:51:03]
will give scientific data to what
[1:51:05]
>> Thank you.
[1:51:16]
» Are there any other comments before we
[1:51:18]
move on?
[1:51:20]
Okay, seeing none, thank you. Okay, the
[1:51:23]
next item on our agenda is motion which
[1:51:26]
is approval of the minutes dated July
[1:51:29]
16th, 2026.
[1:51:31]
Did everyone look through those minutes?
[1:51:33]
Do you have any corrections? One one
[1:51:37]
question I had was it said David Craig
[1:51:39]
was on Zoom, but I believe he was here.
[1:51:42]
He gave the prayer, but I wonder does
[1:51:46]
remember I thought David was here in
[1:51:48]
person. Did he do the prayer on Zoom?
[1:51:52]
Okay. So, that's the only thing I It
[1:51:55]
just said David Craig, city council
[1:51:57]
Zoom. And I I believe he was here in
[1:51:59]
person.
[1:52:02]
Do any of you see any other corrections
[1:52:04]
to the minutes?
[1:52:08]
No. If there's not any other
[1:52:10]
corrections, then is there a motion to
[1:52:11]
approve the minutes?
[1:52:14]
>> I'll make a motion to approve the
[1:52:15]
minutes.
[1:52:17]
What? June.
[1:52:20]
What was the date?
[1:52:20]
>> July 16.
[1:52:21]
>> July 16th.
[1:52:22]
>> Okay. The motion was made by council
[1:52:24]
member Hancock. Is there a second?
[1:52:27]
>> I'll second it.
[1:52:28]
>> The second is made by council member
[1:52:30]
Fowlers. Any discussion on the motion?
[1:52:34]
>> All in favor say I.
[1:52:36]
>> I.
[1:52:36]
>> Any opposed? Okay, that motion carries.
[1:52:42]
» Okay. The next thing we have on our
[1:52:44]
agenda is a discussion on a
[1:52:47]
transportation impact fee. So Taylor,
[1:52:51]
the city engineer, put this together.
[1:52:54]
Currently, Herper City does not have a
[1:52:56]
transportation
[1:52:58]
impact fee or a transportation utility
[1:53:01]
fee. And it's a little bit different. He
[1:53:05]
gave some um notes on this and I just
[1:53:10]
wanted to do a discussion to see if this
[1:53:12]
is something council would be interested
[1:53:14]
in pursuing. Taylor said that there
[1:53:17]
would be enough money already in the
[1:53:19]
budget to be able to do this. We've
[1:53:21]
already done our trans transportation
[1:53:23]
study. So, that isn't anything that
[1:53:25]
would need to be done and there would be
[1:53:27]
enough money to do the transportation
[1:53:29]
impact fee.
[1:53:31]
A lot of times they do this, you know,
[1:53:33]
um utility fee instead.
[1:53:37]
So just wanted to know what your
[1:53:39]
thoughts were on this if this is
[1:53:40]
something you would like to pursue
[1:53:43]
us doing or any thoughts.
[1:53:47]
>> How does it get assessed? How do we
[1:53:49]
assess that fee in conjunction with
[1:53:51]
other fees?
[1:53:52]
>> Yeah. So I think if it is a
[1:53:54]
transportation impact fee then I think
[1:53:57]
it's by
[1:53:59]
travel on the road it's like for new
[1:54:01]
developments.
[1:54:03]
um which the transportation utility fee
[1:54:06]
is also too but then you they assess how
[1:54:09]
many cars we have driving on the road
[1:54:12]
you know like I said it goes along with
[1:54:13]
the transportation study that they have
[1:54:16]
already done
[1:54:19]
so I didn't know that this was going to
[1:54:22]
be on here tonight
[1:54:24]
I seen that but I didn't know what it
[1:54:26]
was about but by coincidence I was
[1:54:30]
actually talking to Jared Hanco about a
[1:54:33]
whole different thing that came into
[1:54:35]
this transportation fee. And Malcolm,
[1:54:38]
you probably know more about this than
[1:54:41]
uh any of us. Is that correct that you
[1:54:44]
know something about this or what you've
[1:54:46]
seen out there from other businesses?
[1:54:51]
>> Just bring up Terra Strada.
[1:54:53]
>> Other developments I've seen go through.
[1:54:55]
There's typically cities have a
[1:54:56]
transportation impact fee, but it's
[1:54:59]
assessed, you know, application
[1:55:03]
or approval, I suppose. So, yeah, for an
[1:55:07]
instance in West Point, a transportation
[1:55:09]
impact fee for commercial development is
[1:55:11]
$7,600
[1:55:14]
per 1,000 square ft of commercial
[1:55:18]
development. So, that development we
[1:55:20]
looked at earlier was 160,000
[1:55:23]
square feet. So, it' be 160*
[1:55:27]
7,500 just for perspective.
[1:55:31]
I don't know that fee in our fee
[1:55:33]
schedule. It's a substantial fee that
[1:55:35]
probably has real cost, but I'm not
[1:55:37]
familiar with Taylor's talking about
[1:55:39]
here, but I think it is something
[1:55:40]
interesting to talk about for our
[1:55:43]
growth. We have commercial development
[1:55:44]
come in West Haven had to assess fees
[1:55:47]
and pay those to them. They do it per
[1:55:49]
trip. So, when you get a traffic study
[1:55:51]
done, they do about $300 per trip that's
[1:55:54]
generated. Then that is what your impact
[1:55:56]
fee would be.
[1:55:59]
Those are fees that developers would
[1:56:00]
have paid in other cities for sure.
[1:56:02]
Farming can have about $600 for $525 per
[1:56:05]
trip that goes to the site, but the
[1:56:07]
traffic study, you know, shows. So, I
[1:56:10]
don't know. It's just an interesting
[1:56:11]
thought. We're hoping we're just, you
[1:56:13]
know, getting things put together, but
[1:56:16]
it's about to get thoughts on it. I'm
[1:56:18]
not an expert by any means, but we could
[1:56:19]
definitely research it.
[1:56:23]
» You know, I'd like to uh you know, terra
[1:56:28]
doing this uh
[1:56:31]
that fee right there to uh Terrada would
[1:56:35]
go a long ways for helping us uh with
[1:56:38]
the lift station and may prevent us from
[1:56:41]
even having to do a CRA or
[1:56:46]
>> I thought if this was something you were
[1:56:47]
interested we could have Taylor come and
[1:56:49]
do a presentation and explain it more.
[1:56:53]
It is it is something we haven't done
[1:56:55]
but as Malcol mentioned other cities do
[1:56:57]
and So when they do road projects, if
[1:57:00]
they have this already have this
[1:57:01]
transportation impact fee or the utility
[1:57:04]
fee, they already have money set aside
[1:57:06]
for roads. So that's what I wanted your
[1:57:10]
thoughts. If it's something you would
[1:57:11]
like to hear more [clears throat] about,
[1:57:12]
we could certainly do a presentation on
[1:57:15]
because we we haven't had one in the
[1:57:16]
past.
[1:57:18]
>> I I wouldn't be about having a
[1:57:20]
presentation being here. A reasonable
[1:57:23]
amount that could be charged is between
[1:57:26]
$10 to $30 a month per household and
[1:57:29]
more for businesses. Great for
[1:57:30]
businesses. Ain't no way in heaven I'm
[1:57:33]
going to want to hit people with $10 a
[1:57:36]
month more for per household for driving
[1:57:39]
on the roads. That's just not going to
[1:57:41]
work for me. That's $120 a year at the
[1:57:44]
minimum. So yeah, if we can look into it
[1:57:47]
towards commercial, great. But I'm not
[1:57:50]
prepared to um
[1:57:53]
pound something onto the the residents
[1:57:56]
out here to drive the roads. I just
[1:57:57]
don't think that's appropriate at this
[1:57:59]
time.
[1:57:59]
>> And along those lines, I would suggest
[1:58:01]
there's even businesses in currently
[1:58:05]
that use commercial vehicles on a very
[1:58:08]
consistent basis that are very much so
[1:58:11]
wearing and tearing on our roads more
[1:58:13]
than the average citizen. So I'd like
[1:58:16]
I'd be interested to know how apply a
[1:58:18]
fee to a business that uses commercial
[1:58:21]
transportation consistently and
[1:58:24]
dependently
[1:58:25]
if that's even a possibility.
[1:58:27]
>> Can I can I just ask follow up? You're
[1:58:29]
asking for current existing businesses
[1:58:33]
that are using the infrastructure.
[1:58:37]
So this specifically wasn't on the
[1:58:39]
agenda. This is different. It's talking
[1:58:42]
about a tough transportation utility fee
[1:58:44]
as opposed to transportation impact. So,
[1:58:48]
um, they're both possible both
[1:58:50]
possibilities without
[1:58:52]
this.
[1:58:53]
>> So, we probably really do just need to
[1:58:55]
get a property and have Taylor come and
[1:58:58]
maybe explain the differences of what
[1:59:00]
they are
[1:59:02]
>> and how we Okay,
[1:59:05]
>> maybe
[1:59:07]
Cody may have a fair amount of expertise
[1:59:09]
on this as well. I think in this memo he
[1:59:12]
talks about Cody doing an assessment,
[1:59:14]
but I don't know if Cody could be a
[1:59:15]
resource. So,
[1:59:21]
Okay. Well, I can get that arranged
[1:59:22]
then. Okay. Thank you.
[1:59:25]
Okay. The next thing on our agenda,
[1:59:29]
and this is just something I wanted to
[1:59:30]
discuss with you, a possible motion to
[1:59:32]
change the September meeting dates. So,
[1:59:35]
our city council meetings in September.
[1:59:40]
» Yeah, we don't have any we don't have
[1:59:42]
any public hearings tonight. So our our
[1:59:45]
city council meetings in September, our
[1:59:48]
first one would be September 3rd, but
[1:59:50]
that is actually during Herford tomato
[1:59:52]
days and so we would not be having a
[1:59:54]
meeting that day. So what I wanted to
[1:59:56]
discuss with you is if you are
[1:59:59]
interested in shifting the meetings
[2:00:01]
down. So the first city council meeting
[2:00:03]
would be the 10th with planning
[2:00:05]
commission the 17th and then another
[2:00:07]
city council meeting on the 24th. or if
[2:00:10]
you are good with only having one city
[2:00:13]
council meeting in September and we just
[2:00:16]
have that on September 17th. I I didn't
[2:00:19]
know what you would prefer.
[2:00:21]
>> I think we have so much stuff that we
[2:00:22]
need to work on that we actually need
[2:00:24]
two meetings. That would be my choice is
[2:00:28]
to try and rearrange them because we
[2:00:30]
have so many items in front of us right
[2:00:32]
now that we need to deal with.
[2:00:38]
» This is a comment from staff.
[2:00:40]
If we move things around, that's going
[2:00:42]
to the availability for the attorneys to
[2:00:45]
be both the planning commission and the
[2:00:46]
attorney and the city council meeting is
[2:00:49]
going to be difficult. I think as it
[2:00:51]
stands, we're great, but if we switch
[2:00:54]
them or flop them, then our availability
[2:00:56]
is going to be different. If you add
[2:00:58]
just another council meeting, I think
[2:01:00]
that would be
[2:01:02]
easier for staff or attorneys.
[2:01:05]
>> And that's another thing we talked
[2:01:06]
about. We could have our city council
[2:01:08]
meeting instead of the third if you
[2:01:11]
wanted to do it another night the next
[2:01:13]
week and still keep the planning
[2:01:16]
commission the same
[2:01:19]
whatever you feel like would work out
[2:01:22]
better. I like to keep things uh the
[2:01:25]
same month after month and I would
[2:01:27]
prefer to go if we've got a ton of stuff
[2:01:31]
I'd prefer to just be here longer that
[2:01:34]
night and just get it done however long
[2:01:36]
it takes me rather than throwing in
[2:01:39]
another meeting and I want
[2:01:43]
>> definitely need to have counsel here
[2:01:45]
when we do anything. So what's going to
[2:01:47]
work that way is good with me. But I
[2:01:49]
just know we have a lot of stuff that we
[2:01:51]
need to chew on.
[2:01:56]
» Council member Flowers Hill, do you have
[2:01:58]
any thoughts on this?
[2:02:00]
>> Just to have one meeting on the 17th.
[2:02:03]
>> It had to be longer.
[2:02:04]
>> Okay. What do you think? Council member
[2:02:06]
Hill.
[2:02:07]
>> I agree. Also 10 for the plan 17 from
[2:02:10]
council.
[2:02:10]
>> Okay.
[2:02:11]
>> As
[2:02:13]
like you say then if we need to stay
[2:02:14]
longer. So that's why I just wanted some
[2:02:17]
discussion because sometimes it's been
[2:02:19]
in the past. Oh, we, you know, we want
[2:02:20]
to have two meetings. So, I just wanted
[2:02:22]
to get your opinions on that. So, thank
[2:02:23]
you. We'll just leave that as the same
[2:02:25]
and just know on September 3rd there
[2:02:28]
will be no city council meeting.
[2:02:31]
Okay. So, the next what we have on our
[2:02:34]
agenda is the approval of resolution
[2:02:38]
number 2026.
[2:02:41]
So, as you are aware, David Craig, who
[2:02:44]
was one of our city council members, has
[2:02:46]
moved. Actually, this morning, they were
[2:02:49]
moving. And because of that, we now had
[2:02:51]
a vacancy on our city council. And the
[2:02:54]
state has some exact language of how we
[2:02:59]
go about doing that. And this resolution
[2:03:02]
that we need to pass first goes through
[2:03:04]
and outlines exactly word for word how
[2:03:08]
we go about
[2:03:10]
doing this. Is there anything Darren you
[2:03:12]
need to add with that besides
[2:03:15]
>> No, we we discussed it last time. We do
[2:03:18]
need to adopt it in order to move to the
[2:03:21]
next step.
[2:03:24]
So Darren, I know this is really petty
[2:03:26]
again, but does it matter how we flip
[2:03:29]
the coin? Whether we catch it or let it
[2:03:32]
hit the ground, does that have to be in
[2:03:34]
there?
[2:03:35]
>> Did I not put that in there?
[2:03:37]
>> It's on step five. Step five.
[2:03:41]
>> It depends on the rep. So I guess that's
[2:03:44]
the recorder,
[2:03:48]
» okay? Okay. So, we need a motion then to
[2:03:52]
approve resolution number 202606.
[2:03:57]
>> I'll make that motion to approve
[2:03:58]
resolution number 2026-06.
[2:04:00]
[clears throat]
[2:04:02]
» Okay. The motion was made by council
[2:04:04]
member Hill. Is there a second?
[2:04:06]
>> I'll second that.
[2:04:07]
>> Second is made by council member Fowers.
[2:04:09]
Any discussion on this motion?
[2:04:12]
>> Okay. Because it is a resolution, we are
[2:04:14]
going to do a roll call vote. We will
[2:04:17]
start with council member Hill. Hi,
[2:04:19]
>> Council Member Ato.
[2:04:21]
>> Yes,
[2:04:21]
>> Council Member Hancock.
[2:04:23]
>> Hi,
[2:04:24]
>> Council Member Fowers.
[2:04:25]
>> Hi.
[2:04:25]
>> Okay, that passes.
[2:04:28]
Okay, so we had two candidates that put
[2:04:31]
in an application from District 2,
[2:04:36]
but I'm not seeing
[2:04:39]
our other candidate here. I've seen one
[2:04:42]
candidate. I'm not seeing our unless if
[2:04:45]
I'm missing him. Is Austin Jones here?
[2:04:50]
I I'm not seeing him.
[2:04:54]
>> So, get notified.
[2:04:56]
>> Yes. So, what do we
[2:04:59]
do if the candidate does not show up? Do
[2:05:01]
we just
[2:05:02]
>> just proceed with the
[2:05:03]
>> We still proceed the same way. We still
[2:05:06]
have to receive a majority vote for the
[2:05:07]
person.
[2:05:08]
>> Sure. Okay. Okay. So, our other
[2:05:12]
candidate is Matt. Matthew Kils. And so
[2:05:16]
we have some questions that the council
[2:05:19]
had turned in that Morgan is going to be
[2:05:21]
reading. So if you would come up to the
[2:05:24]
podium and we will ask those questions
[2:05:26]
and then it's a very precise how the
[2:05:30]
voting procedure actually goes. So thank
[2:05:32]
you for being here.
[2:05:36]
>> Thank you. [clears throat]
[2:05:38]
So we're just going Morgan will just
[2:05:40]
read the question to you and then you
[2:05:42]
can just go ahead and answer the
[2:05:44]
question.
[2:05:45]
>> Okay.
[2:05:46]
So question number one is what is
[2:05:49]
your vision of the future growth of
[2:05:52]
Hooper?
[2:05:53]
>> Uh my vision of the future growth of
[2:05:55]
Hooper is responsible growth and I know
[2:05:57]
a lot of people have said what is
[2:06:00]
responsible growth and responsible
[2:06:01]
growth is [clears throat] play paying
[2:06:04]
very close attention to what the general
[2:06:07]
is also um
[2:06:10]
looking at how we responsibly
[2:06:13]
let our children live out here. I have
[2:06:16]
three of my kids that live out here
[2:06:18]
actually and I've got two more that are
[2:06:21]
twins sitting back there hopefully
[2:06:22]
they'll get married one of these days
[2:06:23]
and [clears throat] they'll they'll get
[2:06:25]
out here too. But it's so expensive to
[2:06:28]
live out here and so I just thought, you
[2:06:31]
know, I was able to do what eight
[2:06:34]
generations of my family I mean actually
[2:06:37]
the sixth generation no seventh
[2:06:40]
generation in my family and my kids are
[2:06:43]
the eighth generation that live in
[2:06:45]
Hooper. My [clears throat] great great great grandpa was a bio
[2:06:49]
wadsworth is gravestones here and I
[2:06:52]
believe that uh I have a lot of sense of
[2:06:56]
community and so I care a lot about how
[2:06:59]
the growth at Hooker happens um and how
[2:07:02]
it happens responsibly
[2:07:04]
and how we obtain um
[2:07:10]
revenues to help the city to grow as
[2:07:13]
it's needed.
[2:07:18]
Okay, question number two. What is one
[2:07:20]
change that you would like to see in
[2:07:22]
Hover?
[2:07:23]
>> I'd like to see, as I mentioned before,
[2:07:27]
um [clears throat] how we handle open
[2:07:29]
space and how we open how we handle um
[2:07:34]
certain areas of Hooker that wants to
[2:07:36]
stay rural in certain parts of Hooker
[2:07:39]
that wants to develop. And um I believe
[2:07:42]
there's there's a way to work that out.
[2:07:45]
Um especially with how many I mean
[2:07:49]
there's the good people of Upward. I
[2:07:51]
knew a lot of I know a lot of them and
[2:07:55]
they've expressed that same thing to me.
[2:07:59]
>> Okay. Question number three. Tell us how
[2:08:01]
committed you are to attending two
[2:08:03]
council meetings per month. In addition,
[2:08:05]
how willing are you to take on
[2:08:06]
additional assignments and attend other
[2:08:08]
meetings outside of the regular Thursday
[2:08:10]
schedule?
[2:08:11]
>> Well, I'm semi-retired, so I'll be able
[2:08:14]
to do that.
[2:08:16]
>> Perfect. Um, question four. What
[2:08:19]
direction do you see Hooper City going?
[2:08:21]
>> I see Hooper City going in a direction
[2:08:24]
that um for a long time we were never a
[2:08:28]
city. It was just always Hooper out
[2:08:29]
here. And I remember when we weren't a
[2:08:32]
city and And we just basically had to
[2:08:35]
hurry up and make the city because Roy
[2:08:37]
was taking Roy I I don't know if you
[2:08:40]
know but Roy Hooper used to go up to the
[2:08:42]
railroad tracks and and slowly they took
[2:08:47]
Hooper
[2:08:49]
all the way down to the gas station down
[2:08:52]
here. But anyways, um I really believe
[2:08:55]
strongly that Uber
[2:08:58]
um has a lot of responsible and
[2:09:02]
potential growth with community and
[2:09:05]
sense of community and keeping it rural
[2:09:08]
and at the same time doing what kind
[2:09:11]
what I kind of feel like West Point has
[2:09:14]
done. I feel like they've done a pretty
[2:09:17]
good job at trying to balance that and
[2:09:19]
that's how I feel about Hooker.
[2:09:23]
Okay, last question. What do you see as
[2:09:25]
a concern for Heer? Um, I see a concern
[2:09:30]
um with
[2:09:35]
revenues and
[2:09:38]
I own a business and I understand
[2:09:42]
revenues and how revenues work and how
[2:09:44]
they don't work and I feel like I'm able
[2:09:47]
to uh with my company that I was with
[2:09:52]
for 40 years that I was able to develop
[2:09:54]
a pretty big pretty
[2:09:58]
prosperous business and understand what
[2:10:00]
the revenues do to run a city or run a
[2:10:03]
business.
[2:10:07]
» Okay. Thank you. So, it's a very strict
[2:10:10]
voting process and Morgan will pass out
[2:10:13]
a sheet of paper to each of us. We have
[2:10:15]
to write our name on that sheet of
[2:10:17]
paper. And do I explain a little bit
[2:10:20]
now?
[2:10:21]
>> I do. Did we receive any notice that
[2:10:24]
this other person has taken their name
[2:10:26]
out?
[2:10:27]
So, I just would let the council know
[2:10:29]
that the other person is still up for a
[2:10:31]
vote for for council.
[2:10:35]
Um, whether they accept that or not,
[2:10:38]
that's a different thing. So, we're
[2:10:39]
going to still do the same thing through
[2:10:41]
the paper.
[2:10:41]
>> So, the name of the other person is
[2:10:43]
Austin Jones.
[2:10:45]
>> Okay. Thank you.
[2:11:42]
Yes. Say the
[2:11:48]
Okay. So with Ryan or sorry, Council
[2:11:51]
Member Hancock, Matt Kilts,
[2:11:54]
Council Member Bowers, Matt Kilts, Mary
[2:11:57]
Roado or Council Member Roto, Matt
[2:12:00]
Kilts, Council Member Hill, Matt Kilts,
[2:12:03]
and then Mayor Matt Kils.
[2:12:06]
>> Oh, and I'm so sorry. I think I went
[2:12:08]
over some procedure incorrectly last
[2:12:10]
time. The code is written poorly.
[2:12:13]
whether the mayor can vote. It's written
[2:12:15]
very poorly. I think it could be argued
[2:12:17]
either or, but I think to be safe, the
[2:12:19]
mayor's vote should not she can't count
[2:12:21]
unless there is a tie. But it's still
[2:12:24]
written poorly. I'm going that's on the
[2:12:26]
record.
[2:12:31]
» Okay.
[2:12:32]
>> You will work on fixing that.
[2:12:35]
>> Okay. So, um, with the majority of the
[2:12:38]
vote, you are our new District 2 city
[2:12:41]
council member, and we are going to have
[2:12:43]
you come up and Morgan is going to do
[2:12:47]
your oath of office to swear you in. And
[2:12:50]
then after that oath of office, we would
[2:12:52]
welcome you to come up and sit on the
[2:12:54]
DAS and you can motion on the last thing
[2:12:57]

Okay. So, the next thing we have on our
