CURRENT BUSINESS

1. Continued Public Hearing - Zoning Ordinance Amendment - Nonconforming Buildings and Uses. The City Council will hear public comment and possibly act to approve a proposed ordinance revision and amendment to Chapter 17.16 - Nonconforming Buildings and Uses of the Lindon City Code. The Planning Commission recommended approval. The City Council continued this public hearing from the regularly scheduled meeting of March 16, 2004. - 30 minutes

2. Public Hearing - General Plan and Zoning Map Amendment. The City Council will hear public comment and possibly act to approve a General Plan and Zoning Map Amendment to change approximately 51 acres east of the Salt Lake Aqueduct and north of the Canberra Heights Subdivision from R1-12 to Recreation Mixed Use - East (RMUE).

3. Public Hearing - UTOPIA Bonds Pledge. This same public hearing was held on February 3, 2004, at which time the City Council approved the resolution to pledge a portion of the city's sales and use tax revenues for the purposed of securing, in part, the bonds anticipated to be issued by UTOPIA. It was subsequently discovered that an error had been made in the public advertisement for the public hearing. The advertisement should have been placed in the newspaper twice. Instead it was placed only once. Tonight, the City Council will readdress the issue, and the Council is being asked to ratify its action which has previously taken place. The following language was included in the first public hearing and is necessary to repeat here: "The City Council will hear public comment and possibly act to approve a resolution which will pledge a portion of the city's sales and use tax revenues pursuant to a Pledge Agreement between the city and UTOPIA for the purpose of securing, in part, either (i) the replenishment of a debt service reserve fund established under the Indenture to the extent that said debt service reserve fund is drawn upon or (ii) the city's payment obligation to UTOPIA (which shall equal the city's proportionate share of the debt service obligation with respect to the Bonds) in consideration for the city's interest in the Network as a member of UTOPIA. The maximum amount of the sales and use taxes that the city may be required to pay under the Pledge Agreement in any one year is $308,681. The pledge of the city is expected to remain in effect for a maximum of 20 years from the date of issuance of the Bonds." - 15 minutes

4. Preliminary Plat - Highlands at Bald Mountain. This is a request by Dan McKeon for a preliminary subdivision approval of Highlands at Bald Mountain, Plat "A", 39 lots, in the R1-12 zone at approximately 700 North 800 East. The Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions. 30 minutes

8. Review and Action - Piping of a Section of the North Union Canal. This is a request by staff for the City Council to consider the possibility of piping a section of the North Union Canal at approximately 180 South Canal Drive. This portion of the trail which is currently under construction cannot be built because the property owner will not allow it. However, in a spirit of compromise, the property owner has indicated that if the city were to pipe the canal along his frontage, he might be more inclined to allow the trail to cross his property.
