Mr. Lutz reported that Adam Bowler, Assistant Planner, has tendered his resignation to go to work in Enterprise, Utah as the City Administrator. Bruce Flannary in the Public Works Department has also resigned to go into private business.              

MAYOR’S REPORT              

Mayor Russell updated the Council regarding South Davis Metro Fire Agency and the acquisition of land for the construction of a new fire station in North Salt Lake.               

The Mayor reviewed the construction progress and timeline for the new Recreation Center.  He also stated that the Council will need to discuss at a future date what recreation programs Centerville City wants to continue to run and what recreation programs will be run by the new South Davis Recreation District.              

Cory Snyder, Community Development Director, explained the background material regarding this action.  The business owner, Mark J. Clark, was asked to provide the City with several items required for obtaining a business license.  None of the requested items were provided to the Community Development Department by the specified timeline and, therefore, they are requesting a denial of the business license.  The items requested from Mr. Clark include: license issued by the State of Utah, Air Quality Permit for painting operations from Utah Division of Air Quality, Fire Marshall site inspection approval, and building inspection.  There has also been concern expressed that the business is also involved with auto salvage, which is prohibited within the city limits.              

Mark Clark addressed the Council regarding the outstanding matters and indicated that all the matters regarding the license issued by the State of Utah, the Air Quality Permit, Fire Marshall and building inspection approval have been resolved.  He is still working to resolve the other issues to meet the requirements for business license approval.  The Council agreed to allow Mr. Clark more time to complete the remaining requirements for a business license.              

Councilman Gutke made a motion to table a decision on this matter to the April 18, 2006 meeting.  The motion was seconded by Councilman Cutler and passed by unanimous vote (3-0).  This decision was based on the finding that the applicant has already completed the other necessary requirements and is willing to complete the remaining requirements before April 18, 2006.              

CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE No. 2006-06 REGARDING TEMPORARY REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT OF REAL PROPERTY AND CONSTRUCTION LOCATED WITHIN THE PARRISH LANE CORRIDOR WEST OF INTERSTATE 15              

Mayor Russell explained the various planning issues involved with the area west of I-15.  This area will be affected by the construction of the Legacy Highway and related trail systems.  Cory Snyder reviewed the area that will be in the Parrish Lane Corridor area.  The Community Development Department has received phone calls from real estate brokers regarding certain parcels within this corridor.  Many of the inquiries have been related to commercial uses.   The Council is discussing a possible moratorium for this area to allow staff proper time to revise the General Plan for the west side of the city, including this area.              

Mayor Russell allowed property owners or any other interested parties to address the Council.              

Rick Bangerter, property owner – Mr. Bangerter asked for clarification regarding the proposed ordinance.  He expressed concern for existing uses already in the Industrial Park area where the owners may want to develop part of existing property during the moratorium time.              

Keith Brown, property owner – Expressed concern for plans he has to relocate his existing business in the Industrial Park to a new building he intends to build on another lot in the Business Park.              

Mark Johnson, property owner – Stated that he is currently in negotiations with a developer to construct a class A office building on his property.  He is concerned about a moratorium being enacted because he believes this sale would not happen if the moratorium were approved.              

Brad Green, property owner – Mr. Green is representing his family who owns property in this area.  Currently his land is being used for agricultural purposes.  The moratorium would affect his ability to do some grade modifications to the property.              

Fred Hale, 63 West 1750 North – Questioned the Council regarding the past zoning on this area.  He supports the City’s desire to improve this area, but expressed concern regarding the hardships a moratorium could create for property owners in this area who want to develop property during the proposed moratorium period.              

Cory Snyder, Community Development Director, responded to questions from the Council regarding shorter moratorium timelines, postponing the moratorium to allow current development to be completed, noticing requirements, etc.  Lisa Romney, City Attorney, discussed the pros and cons of a moratorium.  She encouraged the Council to enact the moratorium as proposed for the Parrish Lane Corridor west of I-15. The Council members expressed a desire to try to work with the property owners and not enact a moratorium at this time, but reserved the right to readdress it in the future if it becomes necessary.  The Council stated that any updates to zoning matters related to this area will be communicated to affected property owners.              

No action was taken regarding this matter at this time.              

FINANCIAL SUPPORT REQUEST FOR DATC BUSINESS RESOURCE CENTER              

Mayor Russell explained that Steven Cloward, Director of Entrepreneurial Development at the Davis Applied Technology College (DATC), is asking for contributions from local cities for the Business Resource Center.  Lisa Romney, City Attorney, questioned the legality of this request.  If the DATC Business Resource Center is a private entity the City would not be able to make a donation.               

The Council agreed not to take any action on this matter.              

URMMA TRAINING              

Lisa Romney, City Attorney, asked the Council for their input regarding the training materials presented.  The Council agreed to discuss the matter at a future Council meeting when all members are present.              

At 8:40 p.m. the meeting was adjourned.

Marilyn Holje, City Recorder                                                Date Approved
