[0:06] Oh, let's let's see.
[0:08] >> You have the remote, Gwen? Gwen home?
[0:10] So, we can get rid of that little text.
[0:13] Just go down to no.
[0:15] >> We have the remote. Just put no for now.
[0:18] >> I'll go I'll go get it. You want me?
[0:21] >> We've got We've got
[0:23] the quorum.
[0:25] >> Okay, before you jump.
[0:27] >> There it goes.
[0:28] >> Time. Great.
[0:30] >> Great.
[0:30] >> Okay, in that case we'll get started.
[0:32] Let's turn on my microphone on.
[0:34] All right, we'll get started. Um welcome
[0:36] everyone to Santaquin City Planning
[0:37] Commission meeting. It's Tuesday, May

[2:05] » Thank you, Commissioner Waits.
[2:09] All right.
[2:11] On the screen we have our agenda for
[2:12] tonight. So, uh we really only have one
[2:15] agenda item, so we're just going to
[2:16] proceed in that order. Um
[2:18] and it starts with a public forum. So, I
[2:21] will go ahead and open the public forum
[2:23] now at 7:07 and invite any comments if
[2:25] you all
[2:26] like to make any comments during the
[2:27] public forum.
[2:29] And if not, we will close the public
[2:30] forum at 7:07 and move right into agenda
[2:34] item number one. This is a
[2:37] uh permit renewal of the Grey Cliffs
[2:39] master grading conditional use permit.
[2:42] >> Uh thank you, Chairman and members of
[2:44] the um planning commission. It's my
[2:45] first meeting being able to to kind of
[2:47] sit up here with you. I'm Morgan Brim,
[2:49] so I was uh introduced by Jason in the
[2:51] last meeting. Spent uh a decade in in
[2:54] Vineyard, um up north, and some time in
[2:56] Virginia, and in Idaho. So, been here
[2:58] about 2 months and absolutely love
[3:00] loving Santaquin, so hopefully I can get
[3:02] to to know you all um better and be and
[3:04] be a resource as you make some really
[3:06] important land planning decisions. So,
[3:08] we have the Grey Cliffs master grading
[3:10] conditional use permit renewal um that's
[3:12] on today or um city engineer, John
[3:15] Lundell, will uh present that. Um the
[3:18] you recently reviewed the development
[3:21] agreement um
[3:23] uh request in the last meeting. Um in
[3:26] the agenda packet, that was the memo
[3:28] that you had received. We do have an
[3:30] updated memo that covers specifically
[3:32] the conditional use permit master
[3:34] grading uh renewal, so I'll pull that
[3:35] up.
[3:39] » Thank you.
[3:39] >> Thanks, yeah. I apologize for including
[3:42] the incorrect memo on this. Uh at this
[3:44] point, I think best we'll proceed with
[3:47] um
[3:48] with the review of it and um kind of
[3:51] step through the uh the application and the items on that. Then
[3:58] we'll we'll proceed with that. So,
[4:01] first this is just a bit of an
[4:03] introduction. This is
[4:05] Masquerading is currently in operation.
[4:08] Morgan, could you bring the maps up,
[4:10] please?
[4:12] Um
[4:13] Up here on the the northeast corner of Santaquin, just off of State Road
[4:19] 198. It's been in operation now. This is
[4:22] the
[4:23] approximately
[4:25] fourth year. Yeah, this will be the
[4:26] fourth year that it's been in their
[4:28] operation. It was
[4:32] in conjunction with this Masquerading
[4:34] permit that was done, a development
[4:35] agreement was uh
[4:38] coordinated and approved by the
[4:41] Santaquin City Council.
[4:43] And this Masquerading is related to that
[4:45] specific development that development
[4:48] agreement.
[4:49] A couple of items that I will point out
[4:52] before I go through each item on the
[4:55] from the code. Um
[5:00] The Masquerading is is proceeding
[5:06] fairly efficiently.
[5:08] They are working through their first the
[5:10] first phase. They are
[5:12] um in talking with Steve Larson, he's
[5:15] indicated they're roughly about to 90 to
[5:17] 95% completed on the first phase.
[5:20] There is some work that they're doing
[5:22] higher up to try to help mitigate any
[5:26] dust fugitive dust that may come off the
[5:28] site. Um as we start working our way
[5:31] into the drier summer months. Once they
[5:34] finish that up, they will pivot down
[5:36] onto the first phase and begin working
[5:39] on that.
[5:41] And so, um
[5:43] so there are including the
[5:46] development agreement that we that was
[5:47] reviewed by the planning commission last
[5:49] week, there was some uh grading
[5:51] adjustments that was anticipated with
[5:54] that development agreement. Um
[5:55] specifically,
[5:57] if you'll go to the next page on that,
[6:00] Morgan.
[6:02] Um if you'll zoom in kind of middle on
[6:04] the pink,
[6:06] that pink area.
[6:08] So, there is some modification that's
[6:11] going to be done to the uh mass grading
[6:14] permit. And this is specifically in
[6:17] relation to
[6:19] um
[6:20] future safety of the uh properties, the
[6:24] homes that will be built up there once
[6:26] they're they're ready to be built. In
[6:28] addition to allow for public safety to
[6:31] be able to access higher up on the
[6:33] mountain, and also to construct a 3.6
[6:37] acre park area that will be located in
[6:40] there. If you can kind of see that area
[6:42] park, I think it's park E,
[6:45] that um
[6:47] will be be completed
[6:49] um as as a part of mass grading.
[6:52] Uh in relationship to that, they will be
[6:54] installing a new access road that comes
[6:56] from the north,
[6:58] and extends
[7:01] um
[7:02] kind of to the south and kind of meet
[7:04] uh works its way up to that park area.
[7:08] This is a wider 20-ft access road
[7:11] um that does have some methods in there
[7:15] to help prevent uh if there's any loose
[7:18] rock that makes its way down off of that
[7:21] hill, it would be able to capture that.
[7:24] Um
[7:25] so, it acts as both an access road as
[7:27] well as a rock catch to prevent any
[7:30] rocks from rolling into the future homes
[7:31] there.
[7:32] And that basically, it's a berm that
[7:35] they'll construct there and put a fence
[7:37] along the top of that to be able to
[7:39] catch any rocks that may come down
[7:41] through there. We kind of mentioned that
[7:43] briefly in the last discussion as well.
[7:46] Um
[7:47] there are just some other minor changes
[7:49] in some of the grading um within the
[7:52] first phase, which is kind of that
[7:53] little pink area down on the bottom of
[7:55] the screen. And then the related change
[7:59] because of the road alignment as it
[8:00] comes off of Cherry Lane.
[8:03] So, those are kind of the major
[8:05] grading changes that are associated with
[8:07] this one.
[8:08] Um
[8:10] and
[8:11] uh in the the maps that were shown,
[8:14] they're they are showing their their
[8:16] phasing related to that. There's not a
[8:19] any real
[8:20] too big a change on the phasing that was
[8:22] done previously.
[8:24] Only really kind of a projected dates on
[8:27] there. Again, what's shown on there
[8:29] really are projected dates. If you go to
[8:32] the second sheet there, Morgan.
[8:35] And in the top left corner,
[8:38] they say they they do uh
[8:41] show projected dates for that. As I
[8:43] mentioned before, the first phase is is
[8:45] getting pretty close to finishing up on
[8:48] there.
[8:49] And there is speaking with with Mr.
[8:52] Larson, they don't intend to begin
[8:56] really working
[8:57] fully in phase two until they finish up
[9:00] the rest of They are They are again do
[9:01] some work in phase two, but they'll
[9:04] finish up all phase one before they
[9:06] really get going in the second phase.
[9:09] So, any other any questions on that so
[9:13] far?
[9:14] Mhm.
[9:17] All right. Well,
[9:18] yep. Um
[9:20] I guess we'll just kind of step through.
[9:21] If you'll pull my memo up, Morgan.
[9:24] And again, I apologize I didn't have
[9:25] this to you before, but if you scroll
[9:27] down to the second page,
[9:32] basically each one of these items
[9:35] what is part of the review
[9:38] um for these this conditional use. Um
[9:41] you say this
[9:42] uh conditional use basically it's a
[9:46] permitted use that allow that also
[9:48] allows us to add some of that extra
[9:49] conditions due to the impact that it
[9:51] will have.
[9:52] So, the first one to mitigate dust,
[9:55] noise, and and odors, um
[9:58] they are
[9:59] uh actively working on
[10:02] trying to take care of their dust. As
[10:03] you said, with the um they do perform
[10:08] uh seeding hydroseeding on the areas
[10:11] that they've cut, especially up higher
[10:12] on the hill. You can actually see it's
[10:14] kind of a tannish color. There's some
[10:16] green starting to kind of peek out a
[10:17] little bit, but that's to help mitigate
[10:20] any fugitive dust or anything dust that
[10:21] may go off.
[10:23] Um
[10:24] again, their
[10:26] you know, noise, the applicant um
[10:29] does operate during required city hours
[10:31] that are associated with the mass
[10:32] grading. Um
[10:35] and as far as we know, there's been no
[10:38] indication of any
[10:41] strange odors that have been coming off
[10:42] the site.
[10:44] Um bonding, they are currently they
[10:48] currently have a bond with the city.
[10:50] Um they also have bonding related to
[10:52] requirements from
[10:54] the Division of Oil, Gas, and Mining or DOGM.
[10:57] Um they have all their current bonding
[10:59] on there and are in the process of
[11:01] renewing that bonding as well.
[11:03] Um uh they do have to renew that on a
[11:06] fairly regular basis.
[11:09] Um
[11:10] they currently have a business license
[11:13] within Santaquin City and Santaquin
[11:15] City, as was reported last Planning
[11:17] Commission, uh is receiving the sales
[11:19] tax off of that point of sales.
[11:23] Um
[11:24] lot size, setbacks, parking are all in
[11:28] line. Um I'm happy to go through
[11:31] anything if if you need on there. Um
[11:34] fencing and screening, there is
[11:37] um fencing along the the property lines.
[11:39] They've also constructed berms at at
[11:42] locations to help mitigate any storm
[11:44] water, as mentioned a little bit further
[11:46] down, to capture anything there and also
[11:48] to help with any noise control.
[11:51] Um
[11:54] currently their road access is off of
[11:56] State Road 198.
[11:58] Um historically, we have had some
[12:01] uh
[12:04] comments and and concerns expressed
[12:06] about the track out that it has happened
[12:09] as they are going out on State Road 198.
[12:12] Um and to help alleviate that, they have
[12:16] gone and and paved the entire stretch
[12:19] from the scales down to 198, which has
[12:23] helped significantly. There still is a
[12:26] little bit of track out that occurs,
[12:28] um but they do actively sweep that and
[12:31] try to clean it up. Um they've made
[12:34] efforts to try to water it down, which
[12:37] has caused a little bit more problem
[12:39] because ends up a little bit of mud
[12:41] sticks to cars and and goes that way.
[12:43] So, they are working their best to do
[12:45] that. Um
[12:47] UDOT does talk with them as well as
[12:49] needed to help with that because that is
[12:52] a UDOT road.
[12:54] Um again, as mentioned before, they've
[12:57] got a pros.
[12:59] They are
[13:01] uh currently meeting the noise
[13:02] ordinance. There have been no complaints
[13:04] out there. They are not blasting and
[13:07] they will they do not have permission to
[13:09] blast.
[13:11] Um
[13:13] then I'll mention a little bit before on
[13:16] drainage. Again, there was
[13:19] at one point there was some storm water
[13:20] that did make it out onto State Road
[13:22] 198. Uh since that occurred, again,
[13:25] after coordinating with UDOT and
[13:28] Also with Mr. Larson, we have that has
[13:31] been corrected. And we to my knowledge,
[13:34] there hasn't been any other complaints
[13:35] for storm water rolling off. So
[13:38] Um
[13:40] So I kind of roll through those pretty
[13:41] quick. Any thoughts?
[13:44] Questions or
[13:45] concerns that you'd have?
[13:49] Okay. Um
[13:52] Then I did mention
[13:55] possible action items.
[13:57] Provide a recommend So there three
[13:59] possible action items.
[14:01] Um
[14:02] Could provide a recommendation to city
[14:04] council without any additional
[14:06] conditions.
[14:08] Provide a recommendation to the city
[14:09] council for conditions and findings or
[14:12] table the proposal's conditional use to
[14:14] requests with findings. Basically, why
[14:18] would we why would we doing that?
[14:20] And and my recommendation would be that
[14:23] you forward this to
[14:25] the city council for their
[14:26] consideration. And the conditions would
[14:28] be that they continue to meet Santaquin
[14:31] City regulations as well as
[14:33] the state uh
[14:36] divisions on there.
[14:39] So, any questions, I'd happy to answer.
[14:41] >> Thanks, John.
[14:43] Commissioners, any questions?
[14:45] At this point?
[14:46] >> Lots. Please.
[14:49] Can you zoom in on lot 322, please?
[14:55] It's in the middle pink area.
[14:59] ish
[15:09] See those?
[15:12] >> 322?
[15:13] >> Yeah.
[15:15] I think it was 320. Yeah.
[15:18] Okay, on lot 322, we see those lines
[15:20] there. Are those lines topographic
[15:22] lines?
[15:23] Is that the slope that it's going to be
[15:26] put to?
[15:27] >> Yes, the final So, the dark lines
[15:29] >> is the final
[15:30] >> The dark lines are the final grading.
[15:32] >> And the others are the current.
[15:33] >> That's correct.
[15:34] >> Okay. Distance Distance and height from
[15:36] one line to the next line is how much?
[15:39] >> They are
[15:40] >> Is it 5 ft? Am I interpreting that
[15:42] correctly?
[15:43] >> No, they are not five They are Let me
[15:45] pull it up and I'll
[15:47] scroll in on that real quick.
[15:57] If I remember right, they are 1 and 10.
[16:01] Uh
[16:02] grading lines.
[16:03] >> 1 ft in 10.
[16:04] >> So, basically,
[16:06] um
[16:07] >> Each line is 10 ft apart.
[16:09] >> Correct.
[16:10] >> And then there's 1 ft rise in that 10
[16:12] ft.
[16:13] >> Okay.
[16:14] And then, um the lines that are behind
[16:17] lot like
[16:21] 404 and
[16:23] where it starts getting pretty steep.
[16:27] » Okay.
[16:29] >> Um
[16:31] what's the slope there?
[16:38] » Uh which lot? Sorry. Which lot?
[16:41] >> So, see lot 403.
[16:43] And then just below it Yeah, that area
[16:45] right there where it starts getting
[16:46] steep. What's that slope? Are those 1 in 10 also?
[16:50] >> Yes, all the grading All the the topo
[16:53] lines are are the same.
[16:56] >> Okay.
[16:56] >> John, can I answer that?
[16:58] >> Yes, please.
[16:59] >> So, as you look in
[17:00] >> You can answer that.
[17:02] >> Yeah, come to the mic.
[17:05] » If you look at 403, you're going to see
[17:09] um starting at the heaviest darkest line
[17:11] up at the top right there. Yeah.
[17:13] >> Yeah.
[17:13] >> There's like four lines and then it
[17:16] turns into a wider spot.
[17:17] >> Yeah.
[17:18] >> What you're looking at there are our
[17:19] steps that come down. So, it drops about
[17:21] 18 ft in uh
[17:24] 24 ft or something like that. And then
[17:26] there's the flat for about 8 ft, then
[17:28] 18, and then flat flat like that. So,
[17:32] when you see that combination of those, were our step tiers. With each of
[17:35] those representing a spot for uh water
[17:38] to capture on each of the shelves and
[17:40] drain
[17:41] >> Okay.
[17:41] >> and to absorb.
[17:45] » All right. So,
[17:46] now that I understand how steep it is, there anything in here
[17:55] So, under
[17:57] 10.08.020
[17:59] terms define land use and development
[18:01] management code,
[18:03] we specifically call out undevelopable
[18:06] area
[18:08] uh land such as slopes over 30%.
[18:14] » Yeah.
[18:15] >> So, that is actually
[18:16] >> are we as a city liable or open to
[18:19] liability because we're having
[18:21] developers do something on land that's
[18:23] over 30%?
[18:24] >> So, the 30% applies to the natural grade
[18:28] prior to mass grading.
[18:30] Is where that comes into into play.
[18:34] >> Right. So, the whole hill and this is
[18:36] why I'm asking this cuz we had some
[18:37] people that were really upset that the
[18:39] hill was gray now.
[18:40] >> Mhm.
[18:41] >> Because it's been dug all up. That whole
[18:43] hillside that's above 30%, are we liable
[18:46] or exposed to some liability if some of
[18:49] our residents or someone else says,
[18:51] "Hey, you're digging where you're not
[18:52] supposed to be digging."
[18:54] >> So, they
[18:55] >> Because in our code, it says
[18:57] specifically above 30% is a no-no.
[19:00] >> Correct. And the areas where they are
[19:03] um
[19:04] currently
[19:06] where they're currently not So, the
[19:08] areas that are not developable per the
[19:10] code, that basically those are over 30%.
[19:12] >> Yeah.
[19:12] >> They are um they're still not
[19:15] developable properties.
[19:17] Uh with the mass grading what they're
[19:18] doing is they're the areas that are
[19:21] lower where the homes and stuff would be
[19:24] actually is on a developable area
[19:27] related to to that whole thing. So, they
[19:30] may their final grading is going to end
[19:33] up being steeper than 30.
[19:35] However,
[19:36] that area originally before they started
[19:40] any mass grading before development was
[19:42] already
[19:43] past that slope.
[19:45] And so, with the work that they're doing
[19:47] and with this mass grading the intention
[19:49] is is to go and make that more of a
[19:52] uh
[19:53] for lack of a better term uh
[19:56] a slope that they can catch
[19:58] um with with tiers as as they've done.
[20:01] There's some slope and then they put a a
[20:04] flat area on there. I believe it's 10 ft
[20:06] wide um to catch that.
[20:08] >> the drawings. They've got some really
[20:09] good I saw the engineering's great. I've
[20:12] got a friend that's an engineer and
[20:14] it looks all good. I'm just concerned
[20:16] about
[20:17] >> Uh we're we're not
[20:19] >> gets hysterical
[20:20] >> No.
[20:21] >> you know, we've got a new data center
[20:22] coming in. We've got things going on. If
[20:24] people get really upset, can they point
[20:26] to our code and say
[20:28] nuh-uh you're you're liable and cause a
[20:29] big legal stink that's going to cause
[20:31] problems?
[20:32] >> No, at this point no, just because the
[20:34] previous development the previous before
[20:37] development started up there the slopes
[20:40] that they are working on were already
[20:42] um
[20:43] past that that we're too steep. We're
[20:46] past that 30%. But where they're
[20:49] proposing develop in these where these
[20:51] home lots are, that was still in the
[20:53] area that was developable. So, we should
[20:55] be safe from any
[20:58] >> Right, but by our own code
[21:01] the piece that's not developable
[21:03] is being developed.
[21:06] Because because it's we're having dirt
[21:08] moved and we're having mass grading up
[21:09] in places that are not going to be
[21:11] developed. So, is it going to be opening
[21:14] us up to liability or problems because
[21:16] of that?
[21:17] >> So, previous councils have have
[21:19] determined that the fact that everything
[21:21] that's steeper than what's allowed is
[21:23] conservationism that's not really
[21:25] developed. It's really just being
[21:26] secured.
[21:28] So, you'll notice that anything that
[21:29] we've secured the slope with to deal
[21:31] with drainage and
[21:33] uh you know, all the safety issues.
[21:35] Um it's actually undevelopable. It's not
[21:38] included as anything that's usable for
[21:40] anything other than just open space. In
[21:42] fact, if there's a conservationism, it
[21:44] says we really can't do anything with
[21:45] it. So, that's the view that the
[21:47] previous council had with it and uh was
[21:50] we were approved under. And the lines
[21:52] are are specifically defined of where we
[21:55] can and where we can't. And the other
[21:57] thing that uh I would make mention of
[21:59] for using lot 403, you'll see a heavy
[22:02] line where there's a um where you can
[22:05] see where it it it is usable, it is
[22:07] developable, it can have a house on it.
[22:09] And then behind that is where the
[22:11] steeper grades are that are designed to
[22:13] protect anything below it. Um in
[22:15] addition,
[22:17] um
[22:18] it's dictated that we can't use
[22:20] irrigation water up there, either. So,
[22:21] there's there's a lot of uh of
[22:24] uh restrictions of what we can and can't
[22:26] do. But mainly with the slopes that you
[22:28] see and the work that we're doing is
[22:30] just to secure the safety of all the
[22:32] lower stuff and make it so that mountain
[22:34] can can be dealt with the proper way.
[22:37] >> Yeah. And I don't believe those are
[22:38] going to be defined lots, by the way.
[22:40] The kids are going to love climbing
[22:41] those terraces.
[22:42] >> Yeah.
[22:43] >> So, I I don't believe there's any legal
[22:45] exposure um for that.
[22:48] >> That's all I have.
[22:48] >> Yep.
[22:51] Yeah, good question. Thanks.
[22:55] Any other questions while we're at it?
[22:58] Or concerns?
[23:02] Mr. Larson, is there anything else you
[23:03] wanted to add to the presentation?
[23:05] Otherwise?
[23:07] >> Maybe just an apology for being a little
[23:09] bit more emotional than the last time I
[23:10] was here than I really normally would
[23:12] like to be.
[23:13] So, I apologize for that. That's all.
[23:15] >> No worries.
[23:17] >> You look like you're walking better
[23:18] today.
[23:19] >> I'm doing a lot better.
[23:19] >> Yeah.
[23:20] >> I just stood a little too long at the
[23:22] last meeting.
[23:24] >> Um, I do have some photos of of the site
[23:27] that um
[23:28] that I went up and
[23:30] uh that I've taken so that um you can
[23:33] kind of see just kind of how things are rolling through there. Again, that's
[23:37] the entry off of uh 198. Um you see
[23:40] there's still some dust there, but um
[23:43] while I was there they were actually
[23:44] running their sweeper to try to get that off.
[23:47] Um
[23:48] this is just to show their
[23:52] they're doing their best to maintain a
[23:54] clean and an orderly site. Um that's
[23:57] their their scales. Um that's an image
[23:59] of their water truck in operation
[24:02] going through and and uh cleaning and
[24:05] making sure they're doing their best to
[24:06] keep the dust down.
[24:08] Again, a little bit higher up. Um this
[24:11] is a image that flat So, you got the
[24:13] darker soil. That's the top soil they're
[24:15] using to reseed the the slope. And then
[24:18] the flat area just at the left is
[24:20] actually the area where that 3 and 1/2
[24:22] acre uh park's going to be.
[24:26] Again, a image of their slope
[24:28] stabilization efforts on there and
[24:30] they're hydroseeding to help keep that
[24:32] there. And that's just a view um looking
[24:35] down on the 3 and 1/2 acre park through
[24:37] there. So,
[24:39] it's
[24:41] say that it'll be a a great facility for
[24:44] the city once it's completed.
[24:48] » John, maybe one more thing just to
[24:49] manage expectations. Um
[24:53] our main goal is to get that higher
[24:55] stuff done to the point where we can
[24:57] water it and control the dust keep our
[24:59] neighbors all happy.
[25:00] So if you look at that previous picture
[25:02] we see the water truck. It kind of shows
[25:04] you how high we can get with the truck.
[25:06] Um
[25:07] but we can't go higher than that.
[25:09] So we're putting all of our efforts into
[25:11] getting that down and our goal is
[25:13] probably get that down as to that park
[25:15] area.
[25:16] Um
[25:17] there is a significant bulge in phase one that we
[25:20] call the South Mountain. But once we get
[25:23] this down to that level we'll shift
[25:25] over. Um but between now and then it's
[25:28] all about I don't want Chris Wall mad at
[25:30] me. And we just want to get it done and
[25:32] get mulch on it and get seed down and
[25:34] get it so that we can
[25:36] access it better with a with a water. So
[25:38] it may not be I don't know when that's
[25:40] going to happen. We've probably got
[25:42] seven more steps to go and the amount of
[25:44] time it takes in those steps is based on
[25:46] how much rock we encounter.
[25:49] So without blasting it's all about
[25:50] picking around what presents itself and
[25:52] it comes and goes it's different. So
[25:55] um
[25:56] I don't know if John clarified the exact
[25:57] timeline of that but we'll get back on
[25:59] phase one
[26:01] as soon as we get basically down to the
[26:03] park.
[26:04] >> Great. Thanks. It's interesting to see
[26:06] that picture of the receded area. It
[26:08] looks great. Right to see you can't see
[26:10] it from down below but to see it from up
[26:11] above yeah up close there to see that
[26:13] that's actually filling back in. That's
[26:14] fantastic.
[26:15] >> Thank you.
[26:18] » Okay. So commissioners our job is to
[26:21] forward a recommendation to the city
[26:23] council on the renewal of the
[26:24] conditional use permit.
[26:25] >> You see anything different here?
[26:26] >> Any other discussion before we proceed?
[26:30] >> What do you see?
[26:33] » Nothing. This is all changed from the
[26:34] last one. So
[26:36] this is a lot different than the last
[26:37] one we approved.
[26:38] >> Yeah.
[26:40] >> From what I can remember I don't have
[26:41] the last one.
[26:43] >> It's it is changed.
[26:44] >> Yeah it's changed. Yeah.
[26:50] » Appreciate the report John. I'm happy to
[26:51] see um the layout of that table and all
[26:53] the conditions that and requirements and
[26:55] the status on
[26:57] you know, how they're meeting those.
[26:58] That's really helpful.
[27:00] Um
[27:03] If there are no concerns and given the
[27:05] report that shows that they are meeting
[27:06] those conditions to the best of their
[27:08] ability, I don't see a reason why we
[27:10] wouldn't forward a positive
[27:11] recommendation, but that's my opinion.
[27:16] » I agree.
[27:28] » Would anyone like to make a motion?
[27:42] » There's me.
[27:44] No motion would be more but a table.
[27:47] >> You're getting an odd.
[27:48] >> Oh.
[27:49] I'm looking at
[27:49] >> Are you interested in making a motion?
[27:51] >> Sure.
[27:51] >> Any comments?
[27:52] >> Okay.
[27:53] I will make a motion to recommend the
[27:56] renewal of the conditional use permit
[27:58] for a Great Cliffs mass grading
[28:00] with the condition that all activities
[28:02] comply with Santaquin City regulations.
[28:05] >> Very good. We have a motion to forward a
[28:07] positive recommendation by Commissioner
[28:08] Johnson.
[28:09] Um
[28:11] do we have a second?
[28:15] » I'll second.
[28:16] >> Second by Commissioner Hoffman. Any
[28:18] further discussion before we vote?
[28:21] All right. Let's vote. Commissioner
[28:22] Wait.
[28:24] >> Yes.
[28:24] >> Commissioner Hoffman.
[28:25] >> Yes.
[28:25] >> Commissioner Wood. Yes. Commissioner
[28:27] Johnson.
[28:27] >> Yes.
[28:28] >> All right. Very good. That's
[28:30] forwarded with a positive recommendation
[28:32] to the City Council and it is unanimous.
[28:36] Okay. Thank you, Mr. Larson.
[28:38] >> Thank you.
[28:40] >> That brings us to agenda item number
[28:41] two.
[28:44] This is the approval of the minutes from
[28:46] our last meeting on April 14th, 2026.
[28:49] Any discussion on those minutes
[28:52] before we proceed? Okay. If not, would
[28:55] anyone like
[28:56] to make a motion to approve?
[28:59] >> I make a motion that we approve the
[29:01] minutes for our last meeting.
[29:03] >> Okay, I have a motion to approve by
[29:05] Commissioner Wait. Do we have a second?
[29:07] >> I'll second that.
[29:08] >> Seconded by Commissioner Johnson.
[29:10] All in favor?
[29:11] >> Yes.
[29:12] Anyone opposed? That was all of us,
[29:14] I think. So, those are approved
[29:15] unanimously.
[29:16] Um all right, very good. That brings us
[29:18] staff reports. Gentlemen, anything we
[29:20] need to talk about?
[29:22] >> Um I don't have anything to necessarily
[29:26] report um
[29:28] unless you've got any questions for me
[29:30] of anything you've seen going around
[29:31] town. I'd be happy to answer any of your
[29:33] questions.
[29:36] Not okay.
[29:37] >> Nope.
[29:37] I don't have anything.
[29:38] >> Thank you.
[29:39] >> Uh nothing at this time, Chairman. Thank
[29:41] you.
[29:41] >> All right, thank you.
[29:43] Okay, well, that brings us to the end.
[29:46] Motion to adjourn?
[29:47] >> I move that we adjourn at 7:35.
[29:49] >> We are adjourned at 7:35. Thank
