City Council

Planning Commission

from: Steve Thacker, City Manager

subject: City Manager’s Summary of March 15, 2005 Council Meeting

date: March 11, 2005

6:00 Work Session - Please note we will meet in a work session to continue the goal-setting process. Please bring the document Jack gave you at the last meeting, which is to serve as a work sheet for this session. If you need another copy, please call Marilyn or Marsha. I have enclosed again, however, Jack’s February 26 memo describing the remaining steps he recommends for this process.

E.1. Summary Action Calendar -

a. Street Sweeping Agreement - Davis County has been sweeping our streets for some time at an hourly rate, but without an agreement. The County would now like to formalize this arrangement with an agreement.

b.,c. Award Bids for Water lines - These two water lines will serve the Ricks Creek and Chase Lane Village Phase III Subdivisions. The developers pay for these water lines but the City administers the construction projects.

E.2. Tumbleweed Condominiums Subdivision - This is an office park condominium project being created out of an existing commercial development. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval.

E.3. Public Hearing - Rezone of Agricultural Property - The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the rezone of approximately 7.3 acres from Agriculture-Low to Residential-Low. This property is to be developed by Ron Trump and is located on the south side of Porter Lane and west of Main Street.

E.4. Foxbridge Plat E Amended Subdivision Lot Vacation - Lot 1 of this subdivision is being vacated and subdivided into two lots, to be known as the Lamb Subdivision. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval and there was no public comment during the Commission’s public hearing.

E.5. Code Enforcement Task Force Report - Staff have been working several months on developing guidelines for code enforcement activities. We are at a point where we would like the Council to review our proposed guidelines and give us further direction.

E.6. Discuss Zoning Regulations re: Cell Towers - Due to circumstances explained in the staff report, Councilman Cutler may want the Council to consider amending the regulations pertaining to cell towers.

E.7. Minutes Review and Acceptance - The meeting minutes to be approved are enclosed.

E.8. Mayor’s Report - I assume the Mayor will report on a few matters.

E.9. City Manager’s Report - I will report on a couple of matters that are not addressed in my update memo enclosed with this packet. I will also respond to questions about any of the matters in the update memo.

E.10. Miscellaneous Business

ULCT Mid-Year Conference Registration - If you are going to the conference in St. George, please note the registration deadline for a discounted fee.

July 4^th Celebration - The staff report gives you the dates of the various activities of the celebration, which will be split between Saturday and Monday.

Review Topics for May 2005 Newsletter - Please review the proposed topics for the next newsletter and bring your suggestions for additional articles.

E.11. Closed Meeting - I recommend the Council go into a closed meeting to discuss the purchase of property. In an earlier meeting, the Council discussed the possibility of purchasing property on the south side of Porter Lane (within the proposed Ron Trump development), but the Council decided not to pursue that option, based on my earlier conversation with one of the property owners. Since that decision by the Council, that property owner has contacted me and expressed a willingness to sell the property to the City, presumably under favorable terms. Therefore, I need to report this matter to the Council in a closed session and get your direction as to whether to pursue a purchase. I presume your decision may depend on the position of the other property owner--Ron Trump-- whom I am hoping to meet with again before Tuesday evening. Property purchased from both owners would be needed to make a viable project.

9:35 RDA Meeting - Bill Davies did not attend the previous RDA meeting and, therefore, has been rescheduled for this one to make a presentation about the Rodgers Memorial Theater. The RDA Board will then have an opportunity to discuss whether to provide assistance to the theater as well as two other potential uses of RDA funds, including street lighting in the commercial area and the preservation of affordable housing. The RDA agenda shows the possibility of a closed meeting, if appropriate, to discuss the sale and/or lease of real property.
