D A T E T U E S D A Y A P R I L 9, 2013

Nevada to allow it to pump water from the Snake Valley aquifer. This is a message to other Utah rural counties that Salt Lake County is there for them.

Council Member Wilde spoke under “Report of Council Members” stating he attended an Executive Board meeting Thursday, April 4, and Friday April 5, 2013, at which the Board traveled to Juab, Piute, Sanpete, Sevier, and Wayne Counties, and met with the elected officials in those counties. Those rural counties are having difficulties. For example, Piute County ranchers are having a difficult time getting permits from the Bureau of Land Management to graze livestock. If they cannot graze their livestock soon, they may go out of business. This visit made him appreciative of being an elected official in an urban county, and grateful for the Utah Association of Counties for its support.

Council Member Bradshaw, seconded by Council Member Jensen, moved to approve the recommendations. The motion passed unanimously, authorizing the County Auditor to effect the same, showing that all Council Members present voted “Aye.”

♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦

THIS BEING THE TIME heretofore set for a public hearing to receive input with respect to: 1) The use of the proceeds of the County’s Sales Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 2010D (Federally Taxable-Direct Pay-Build America Bonds) that have been issued in the aggregate principal amount of $33,020,000, to finance all or a portion of the acquisition, construction, and improvement of a) a new building for the District Attorney’s Office, including land for parking; b) a new fleet building; c) a new health building; d) a new senior center expected to be located in Midvale City, Utah; and e) land near the Salt Palace; and 2) the potential economic impact that the projects will have on the private sector.

Council Member Bradshaw, seconded by Council Member Horiuchi, moved to open the public hearing. The motion passed unanimously, showing that all Council Members present voted “Aye.”

Mr. Steve Van Maren asked if the public could have more background on this.

Council Member Bradshaw explained the County let a bond in 2010, the proceeds of which were originally slated to build the District Attorney building. However, the Council has not yet approved that project, and the bond money has to be spent. Today, the Council is taking public input on amending the bond documents to allow the County to use those bond proceeds on other projects.

Mr. Craig Wangsgard, Deputy District Attorney, stated under the Internal Revenue Service regulations, the bond proceeds are required to be spent within three years of issuance of the bonds.

Ms. Nichole Dunn, Deputy Mayor, stated the projects listed have been approved by the Council and funded through the budget, and the County would have bonded for them with a new bond. The County is using the bond that has to be spent for these projects, and will do a new bond for the District Attorney’s building. Essentially, the County is just swapping bonds in order to meet the IRS timeline requirements.

Mr. Van Maren asked if this was not approved, if the bond money would go back to the bond issuers, and what the consequence was if the County did not meet the IRS regulations.

Mr. Wangsgard stated the bonds are Build America Bonds, based on sales tax revenues, and they are not callable until 10 years out. If the County does not spend the bonds, it would be penalized for arbitrage. The arbitrage would not be overly expensive because returns on investment are so much lower than the amount the County is paying on interest. However, it would be a waste not to put the money to some use, especially when the County is

237

D A T E T U E S D A Y A P R I L 9, 2013

already moving forward with the health and fleet buildings, and the County’s option to buy the Salt Palace property expires in 2016.

Mr. Doug Fulmer, citizen, stated he thought the public was here to talk about using the bond proceeds for the District Attorney building. He did not think it was appropriate to spend this money on other projects. The public was told this would be used to build a new District Attorney building, and not doing that is a disservice to the trust of the people. The District Attorney building should be the first priority. The District Attorney’s Office needs a building; it has been looking for a permanent location for more than 10 years. The County should have moved forward with that by now using these bond proceeds. The $33 million bond proceeds should have been more than enough to build the building. The building does not need to be a Taj Mahal, nor a zero energy building, but it needs to be sustainable and economical. Then, once the County starts spending the bonds, the tax problem will go away. The County just needs to show the IRS the project is in process; it does not have to fully spend the bonds.

Mr. Wangsgard stated the bond proceeds have to have 95 percent spent within three years of the issuance of the bonds to meet the arbitrage rules. The District Attorney’s Office will have a formal resolution on next week’s agenda for Council approval.

Council Member Horiuchi, seconded by Council Member Granato, moved to close the public hearing. The motion passed unanimously, showing that all Council Members present voted “Aye.”

Mr. Spencer Sanders, Planning & Development Services Division, reviewed the following rezoning application that were heard during the April 2, 2013, Council meeting and forwarded today for consideration:

Application #28268 – Michael Winder to reclassify property located at 4415 S. Garden Dr. (790 E.) from R-1-10 to R-4-8.5 zone. (4:46:43 PM)

Council Member DeBry stated the public hearing has been continued from the April 2, 2013, Council meeting. The applicant wants to add seven units to an existing 10-unit dwelling group and update the existing units and the site. The proposed concept plan includes two three-unit buildings, located in the center of the existing development, and one one-unit building between two existing buildings on the west side of the development. He did some research on crime in the area, and pulled a list of phone calls to the Unified Police Department (UPD) and crimes that been reported from the UPD records. (The list is on file in the Council Clerk’s Office.) He reviewed the police activity that occurred at two addresses in the area: 4443 South and 4415 South Garden Drive.

D A T E T U E S D A Y A P R I L 9, 2013

Council Member Horiuchi, seconded by Council Member Jensen, moved to ratify the Millcreek Township Planning Commission’s and Millcreek Community Council’s recommendations to reclassify the property from R-1-10 to R-4.8.5 zone, with a couple of caveats: 1) That the Council ask the Planning & Development Services Division to inculcate the Council’s concerns in the conditional use process; and to ask Andrea Pullos, Transportation Engineer, Engineering/Flood Control Division, to look at possible options to reduce traffic on Garden Street, such as “no parking” signs or speed bumps, and in and out of the project to make it as safe as possible and to forward this Application to the April 16, 2013, Council meeting for formal consideration.

Council Member Jensen, seconded by Council Member Burdick, moved to open the public hearing. The motion passed unanimously. Council Member Snelgrove was absent for the vote.

Council Member Horiuchi stated the property was originally zoned R-2-10, but he and Council Member Bradley downzoned it to R-1-10 in 1997. As a result, structures became illegal non-conforming. He thought erecting three more buildings on the property would be too tight. He asked if decreasing the proposed density would hurt the project.

Council Member Bradley stated the current zoning would not allow for any construction whatsoever.

Mr. Michael Winder, applicant, stated the current zoning would allow for a single family house.

Mr. Thomas Christensen, Deputy District Attorney, stated the property needs to be rezoned in order for the applicant to increase the density.

Council Member Bradley asked if the Council granted a zone change, what latitude the Planning and Development Services Division would have to limit the size of the development in the next step of the process.

Mr. Christensen stated the applicant would have to go through a conditional use process, at which time the Millcreek Township Planning Commission could put a zoning condition on the property limiting density and height.

Mr. Winder asked the Council to ratify the Millcreek Township Planning Commission’s recommendation approving the zone change to give the owners the broadest canvas possible to configure what made sense. The current design is preliminary; another design might make more sense. A number of things will be looked at during the rigorous conditional use process.

Ms. Vera Schrader spoke in opposition to the zone change, stating she has lived in the area for 61 years, and has never liked the duplexes. Allowing them to be built in a single dwelling area downgraded the neighborhood. She did not think it was feasible for the applicant to do what he was requesting because there is not enough space there. Adding more units will

242

D A T E T U E S D A Y A P R I L 9, 2013

limit parking and children’s play areas, and the increased number of vehicles pulling in and out of there would make it unsafe for children. Additionally, Garden Drive already has heavy traffic, as it is off two busy streets – 4500 South and 900 East.

Ms. Barbara Allcott spoke in opposition to the zone change, stating traffic along Garden Drive and in and out of the apartment driveway is so heavy, she cannot even get out of her driveway. Garden Drive is used as a turn-around for much of the 4500 traffic. Then, drivers speed along Garden Drive, some have even hit and killed animals and damaged parked cars. The road is very narrow, partially from an irrigation ditch that runs along the road, and also because a sidewalk was put in two years ago. Now there is nowhere to park on the street. Furthermore, there is a lot of crime in the area. She has witnessed rival gangs, knifings, and drug lords parking in front of the apartments and duplexes on Garden Street distributing drugs. She has lived there for 20 years, and has yet to see more development help resolve these kinds of problems. The area has become so over-developed neighbors are losing their quality of life.

Council Member DeBry asked if vacant and grassy areas were more conducive to lowering crime or if having more families living in the area would improve the quality of life. He thought some of the homes in the area looked a lot worse than the duplexes do.

Ms. Allcott stated keeping the open space allows fewer places for criminals to

hide. The drug trafficking and other crimes are occurring in the nooks and crannies. Lowering the fences to fight crime will not work because dogs are allowed in the complex. She suggested turning the grassy area into a playground for children and a community area to attract residents and deter criminals.

Council Member DeBry stated property owners have the right to do what they want with their property. Government can only dictate to a point.

Council Member Burdick stated government will dictate as far as density and the site plan, and code issues will be looked at as well. Government is always looking to find the highest and best use of property. He hoped it could help make this piece of ground better, while enabling affordable housing in the area. He was concerned about the density and suggested reducing the number of units on the east boundary, and opening up the area between them. Also, having a visible playground would help attract renters as it is an amenity, although the playground needs to be built in an area where children will be safe.

Council Member Wilde asked if neighbors had known about the Millcreek Township Planning Commission meeting on February 13, since there was only one neighboring resident in attendance, and why the Planning Commission recommended approval if that resident objected.

Ms. Schrader stated she was there, but did not know why the Planning Commission recommended approval. Building more buildings is not feasible; it will be too compact. That said, the apartments look better now than they have in the past. Somebody has done a lot of remodeling and updating there.

243

D A T E T U E S D A Y A P R I L 9, 2013

Mr. Winder stated he knocked on doors and spoke to many people in January, some of whom were supportive and want to see their neighborhood improved. When the owners bought the property, some of the duplexes were condemned. Since then, they have redone the roof of the structures, the areas around them, and the sidewalks along Garden Drive. They want to be a good quality neighbor and are committed to continuing to improve the property, i.e. the fencing, potholes, water issues, circulation issues, put in a playground, update the landscaping to fit with the County’s water-wise landscaping ordinance, and work on the traffic issue. However, to do that, they need to increase the density. He asked the Council to ratify the Planning Commission‘s decision.

Council Member Jensen, seconded by Council Member Bradley, moved to close the public hearing. The motion passed unanimously, showing that all Council Members present voted “Aye.” Council Member Snelgrove was absent for the vote.

Council Member Bradley stated he was convinced the zone change was necessary in order for the owners to continue improving the property; however, the question is what the appropriate amount of units would be to achieve the appropriate ambience, keep the children safe and allow them a meaningful play area, and upgrade the property. He would be following this through the conditional use process to make sure people are treated fairly and their voices heard.

Council Member Horiuchi stated he would urge the developer to continue visitations with people who live in the area.

Council Member Bradshaw stated there will be an additional opportunity for the public to provide input as part of the actual project comes together.

Council Member Wilde stated he would be voting in favor of the motion to honor the Planning Commission’s recommendation. The planning commission process was put in place to respect the concerns of townships and their communities, and to give them more local control, rather than taking decisions out of their hands.

Council Member Horiuchi, seconded by Council Member Jensen, moved to ratify the Millcreek Township Planning Commission’s and Millcreek Community Council’s recommendations to reclassify the property from R-1-10 to R-4.8.5, with a couple of caveats: 1) That the Council ask the Planning & Development Services Division to inculcate the Council’s concerns in the conditional use process; and to ask Andrea Pullos, Transportation Engineer, Engineering/Flood Control Division, to look at possible options to reduce traffic on Garden Street, such as “no parking” signs or speed bumps, and in and out of the project to make sure make it as safe as possible and to forward this Application to the April 16, 2013, Council meeting for formal consideration. Council Member Burdick amended to motion to ask the owners to look at the site plans and reduce the number of units on the east boundary and open up the area between them, and to relocate the playground area. Council Member Horiuchi accepted the amendment. The motion passed 8 to 1, showing that all Council Members present voted “Aye,” with the exception of Council Member Granato who voted “Nay.”

244

D A T E T U E S D A Y A P R I L 9, 2013

Council Member Granato stated he wanted to be the voice of the people, and what he heard today and last week, was that this would not work.

♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦

Mr. Spencer Sanders, Planning & Development Services Division, reviewed the following rezoning application that were heard during the April 2, 2013, Council meeting and forwarded today for consideration:

Application #28270 – Laurel Osborn to reclassify property located at 2254 & 2257 E. Alva Circle (3510 S) and 3502 S 2300 E from R-1-10 and R-2-10 to R-1-21 zone. (5:20:36 PM)

Council Member Horiuchi stated the Council is concerned with the animal limits if it approved the reclassification to R-1-21 zone. He suggested instructing Jason Rose, Legal Counsel, Council Office, and the Planning & Development Services Division to draft a neighborhood agricultural zone ordinance, mirrored after the dog kenneling ordinance, which would require property owners to license their animals. That way, the County could control the number of animals, the species, and the size of an animal. The ordinance could also include a requirement to have manure towed from the property on a weekly basis to keep the odor down. It made sense to encourage urban farming wherever it would be appropriate, but each case is different. An ordinance would allow the Council to consider each property separately.

Council Member Horiuchi moved to continue this request until the County adopts a new ordinance, after which, the Council will bring this issue back and vote on it under the new ordinance.

Council Member DeBry asked if there were any legal ramifications with that proposal.

Mr. Thomas Christensen, Deputy District Attorney, stated yes. The law provides that when someone files an application, they are entitled to be considered under the ordinance that exists, and there has to be a time limit on continuing a decision. Adopting a new ordinance will take time. It can be drafted right away, but it will have to go through the community councils for review before it can be adopted. Today, the Council can approve, deny, or continue the application, or the applicant can withdraw. If the applicant is willing to withdraw or the Council denies the request, the Council has the authority to waive the fees if Ms. Osborne were to reapply under a new ordinance. That would be better than continuing the request.

Council Member Burdick stated he supported the County’s urban farming effort as it pertains to growing crops and to enhance food supplies, but he was not in favor of downzoning for the purpose of allowing property owners to keep, raise, breed, or slaughter large animals, especially if the property is close to or adjacent to another residential zone that does not have a similar zone. That would devalue the surrounding properties, and in the event those property owners wanted to sell their property, it would reduce the sale-ability of their home and the number of buyers wiling to live there. Large animals bring flies and create odors, and they

245

D A T E T U E S D A Y A P R I L 9, 2013

are noisy. He was also concerned with the location of the waterway on this property because it is a watershed.

Council Member Bradley stated the Council would be able to address those issues through an ordinance. A new ordinance would allow a deliberative body like the Council or a planning commission to determine the quantity of animals that would be permitted on a parcel of property, dependent on the size of the property. The current R-1-21 zone allows an upper limit of animals, which would not fit into the neighborhood environment. The Council should accommodate neighborhood agricultural requests if the parcel is large enough. Each of these isolated requests is unique, so it would be helpful to have a broad ordinance in place when one of these requests came up. He asked if Ms. Osborn was willing to withdraw her application until the Council passed such an ordinance.

Ms. Laurel Osborn, applicant, asked if a withdrawal was preferable to a continuance.

Council Member DeBry stated the Council will not continue at this point.

Council Member Jensen stated it sounded to him like the Council needed to officially deny the request, but with a proviso to waive the fees if Ms. Osborn reapplies under the new ordinance.

Mr. Christensen stated another option to have the fees waived is for the applicant to withdraw.

Council Member Jensen, seconded by Council Member Granato, made a substitute motion to deny the application, but instruct the Planning & Development Services Division to waive the fees for Ms. Osborn if she reapplies under the new ordinance.

Council Member Bradshaw stated if an applicant is denied, they cannot reapply for a year. He asked if that would still apply if the ordinance changed, since they would not actually be applying for the same thing.

Mr. Christensen stated if the circumstances or ordinance changes after the applicant is denied, the applicant would be able to reapply prior to the one-year period.

Council Member Bradshaw asked Ms. Osborn if she would prefer to withdraw or be denied.

Ms. Laurel Osborn stated she would prefer to withdraw provided the fees could be waived.

Council Member Bradshaw asked if the Council could make a motion to direct the staff to draft the new ordinance, and waive the fees in that motion.

246

D A T E T U E S D A Y A P R I L 9, 2013

Council Member Wilde stated if the Council waived the fees now, it would essentially be binding a future Council. The fee waiver should be done at the time Ms. Osborn reapplies.

Mr. Christensen stated the Council does not need a motion to waive the fees. Ms. Osborn has already paid the fees and would not have to pay them again, but she would have to start again at the planning commission level under the new ordinance.

Mr. Spencer Sanders, Planning & Development Services Division, stated if the existing language in the ordinance is changed to allow this new use that Ms. Osborn is asking for, her application would just need to go to the Millcreek Township Planning Commission and the East Millcreek Community Council under a conditional use; it would not necessarily have to come back to the Council.

Ms. Osborn withdrew her application.

Council Member Bradley moved to direct the Planning & Development Services Division and Jason Rose, Legal Counsel, Council Office, to start drafting a neighborhood agricultural zone ordinance with all the elements the Council has discussed.

Council Member DeBry stated the Council does not need a motion; it can direct Julie Peck Dabling, Open Space Manager, Mayor’s Office, to start drafting an ordinance with the appropriate staff.

THERE BEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS to come before the Council at this time, the meeting was adjourned at 5:39:48 PM until Tuesday, April 16, 2013, at 4:00 P.M.
