2. Public Comment

There was no public comment.



3. New Business

Commissioner Peters requested an update on the zoning violation at 190 South State. Mr. Smith reported that the flags had been removed. Commissioner Peters also asked about the Discount Spa business on Geneva Road and their displays. Mr. Smith explained that the business was operating on a temporary site plan and would be coming into the Planning Commission soon for approval of their permanent site plan. Mention was made of a car lot by the Frontier Travel Plaza. Commissioner Atchison asked for clarification of the ordinance requirements on flags in the Commercial zone. Mr. Smith explained that there was a limit of 30-days per year and flags were intended for special events.
Commissioner Johanson asked if the City had received anything from the developers of the Golf Course at the landfill. Mr. Smith reported that nothing had been received on that project yet.
Commissioner Anderson asked about the status of Aseptic Services’ appeal to the City Council. Mr. Smith reported that the Council had dismissed the appeal because Mr. Kali had not appeared. He told the Commissioners that Mr. Kali’s business had been evicted from the building by the landlord and the medical waste had been removed from the premises by the State Department of Hazardous Waste. Councilmember Bayless observed that the appeal by Mr. Kali to the City Council was moot since his eviction from the premises. He was no longer operating a business in Lindon. Commissioner Peters requested legal counsel for the Planning Commission if Mr. Kali submits another application to Lindon City.
Chairman Morse asked for an update on the progress of bringing the roads from the new Freeway Interchange to Lindon and Pleasant Grove. Mr. Smith reported that Mayor Ellertson is working to obtain funding from the Utah Legislature, and although no funds were allocated for this session, there was hope that the next legislative session would fund the completion of the roads. Mention was made that a Macey’s was being constructed on the corner of Pleasant Grove Boulevard and State Street. That portion of Pleasant Grove Boulevard would be completed with the construction of the store.
Commissioner Nixon requested an application for a speed hump for his neighbor.


4. Walker Heights - 500 North 800 East - Preliminary Subdivision
This is a request by Bill West for Planning Commission review of his proposed two-lot subdivision.

Mr. Smith reviewed the minutes and City Engineer Mark Christensen’s comments on this application. He told the Commissioners that Mr. Christensen would not be present tonight, but had informed Mr. Smith that the hillside issues had been met with this design. Mr. Smith reviewed the conditions imposed by the Planning Commission at the previous meeting concerning erosion control and revegetation. Commissioner Peters commented that he was surprised that Lot 2C was not included in the hillside ordinance because of its steep terrain. Commissioner Nixon observed that the cut for 800 East shown on the site plan was bigger than usually allowed. Discussion followed on the maximum cut and fill allowed and whether this cut on 800 East was approved properly. Mr. Roger Dudley, engineer for Bill West, contended that the Bureau of Reclamation dictated the location and slope of the road because of its proximity to the Aqueduct and that the road had been constructed according to the plans submitted and approved by the City.
Commissioner Peters questioned the origin of the loads of dirt placed on the property. Mr. Smith informed the Commission that the loads of dirt were placed on the City property to the north of this parcel under the direction of the Lindon City Public Works. Commissioner Peters asked Mr. West Dudley when the soil analysis had been completed–before or after the illegal grading. Mr. West Dudley reported that the soil analysis had been completed when this subdivision was first submitted to the Development Review Committee. Commissioner Peters confirmed with Mr. West Dudley that the cut and filled areas had been in place for two years. Mr. West Dudley also confirmed that the engineer completing the soil analysis had drilled the area to a depth of more than 30 feet.
Commissioner Peters asked Mr. Smith to comment on the recommendation of the City Attorney concerning fines. Mr. Smith reported that Mr. Duval had not tendered an opinion yet on whether fines would be appropriate or how much they should be. He recommended that the Planning Commission allow the use of the land with conditions to control erosion.
Commissioner Anderson asked if the Planning Commission could require immediate landscaping to reduce erosion. Commissioner Peters observed that there was evidence that the water was carrying soil over the sidewalk. Mr. Smith recommended that erosion control measures be required now before sale of the lots and during construction of the homes. Commissioner Peters commented on the amount of erosion evident even with the recent light winters.
Commissioner Nixon commented that he couldn’t believe that the Planning Commission had approved a 40-foot cut in the plans for 800 East. Mr. West Dudley asserted that the Bureau of Reclamation had dictated the location of the road both vertically and horizontally to assure stabilization of the Aqueduct. He showed where the utility easements had to go through east of the road. He offered to bring a copy of the original site plan for Commissioner Nixon to review.
Chairman Morse clarified with Mr. West Dudley that the buildable pads were at the top of the cut. Commissioner Nixon asked what was indicated by the shaded areas on the site plan. Mr. West Dudley replied that the shaded areas indicated areas of 30% slope and were used in the hillside ordinance calculations. Chairman Morse questioned Mr. West Dudley on the location and slope of the driveways to the buildable pads at the top of the cut. Mr. West Dudley informed him that the driveways were cut at a diagonal of 12% at either end of the parcel. Commissioner Peters questioned Mr. Smith on the ballfield belonging to the neighbor in back of this property. Mr. Smith confirmed the ballfield had been there for 20 years.
Commissioner Peters confirmed that erosion control and the precedence issue for the illegal grading were his main concerns. Mr. Smith informed the Commissioners that violations of land use laws were “Class C” misdemeanors punishable by a maximum fine of $750.00 according to Utah State Law. Commissioner Nixon observed that the fine for illegal grading of hillsides should be significant or developers would ignore the ordinance. Mr. Smith suggested looking at the ordinance to specify a larger fine.
Chairman Morse confirmed that Mr. Christensen had approved the preliminary plat for the engineering department. Mr. Smith agreed that the plat was engineered soundly. Commissioner Peters wondered how the City would enforce the erosion control if it was approved. Mr. Smith suggested a bond be required of the developer to ensure erosion controls be in place within 90 days. Commissioner Nixon observed that any erosion controls put in place now would be temporary and would need to be replaced by permanent measures when the homes were completed. The bond may be needed to maintain the erosion controls until the permanent measures were installed. Commissioner Anderson commented that any vegetation planted now may be disturbed when the homes are built. Commissioner Peters observed that vegetation would need to be watered. Mr. West Dudley asserted that the homes would be built by Knight West Construction soon. Commissioner Nixon noted that it looked like the driveway on Lot 1C traversed an area of 30% slope. Mr. Smith observed that the area of 30% slope shown on the map Commissioner Nixon was looking at no longer existed and was part of the illegal grading. The present slopes are shown on the next map in the packet. Chairman Morse summarized the discussion and observed that he felt that the Planning Commission should work with what exists on the property now. He commented that using the property for homes is the best use of the property.
COMMISSIONER PETERS MOVED TO APPROVE THE REQUEST BY BILL WEST FOR PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION APPROVAL FOR WALKER HEIGHTS, PLAT “C” AND RECOMMEND APPROVAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. A PLAN SHOULD BE PREPARED THAT RESTORES NATURAL VEGETATION PROVIDES EROSION CONTROL AND REVEGETATION AND IS BONDED FOR BEFORE THE PLAT RECORDS.
2. THE DEVELOPERS SUBMIT DRAINAGE, GRADING, EROSION CONTROL AND LANDSCAPING PLAN TO BE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND AN APPROPRIATE BOND FOR BOTH LOTS, INCLUDING MAINTENANCE OF THE ABOVE, BE SUBMITTED.
3. THE DISCUSSION OF FINES IS CONTINUED WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY.
4. A NOTE IS ADDED TO THE PLAT ABOUT PERMANENT EROSION CONTROL AND LANDSCAPING PLANS BEING APPROVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSIONER COMMISSION BEFORE BUILDING PERMITS MAY BE ISSUED.
COMMISSIONER ANDERSON SECONDED THE MOTION. ALL PRESENT VOTED IN FAVOR. THE MOTION CARRIED.


5. Craig Olson - 1200 West Center Street - Conditional Use Permit
This is a request for approval to construct an office/warehouse building in the General Manufacturing Zone.

Mr. Smith observed this application was located in the area of the road construction and extension of Center Street west of Geneva Road. He informed the Commission that the area was designated Heavy Industrial and zoned general manufacturing (MG). He briefly discussed building standards for the MG zone. Mr. Smith told the Planning Commission that staff was concerned about the owner’s plans for the balance of this 6-acre lot. This site plan encompasses approximately 2.38 acres. He also requested that the Planning Commission ascertain the owner’s plans for outside storage since it is not included in the site plan. Mr. Smith informed the Planning Commission that if outside storage is intended, the area needs to be designated on the site plan and fenced.
Buck Robinson, representing the owner Craig Olson, told the Planning Commission that the purpose of the building is to provide storage for a piece of equipment (crane) that is sensitive to exposure to the elements. Chairman Morse asked Mr. Smith to clarify the landscaping standards of the General Manufacturing Zone. Mr. Smith replied that 20 feet of landscaping with trees is required. Councilmember Bayless confirmed with Mr. Smith that the landscaping shown on the site plan met the requirements of the ordinance. Mr. Robinson informed the Commission that the building will resemble Schaeffer Industries in construction materials–a metal building with a wainscoting of painted, scored blocks. Mr. Smith commented that the ordinance requires only that the building blend in with the surrounding neighborhood and be architecturally pleasing. Mr. Robinson told the Commission that the building would have 20% block.
Commissioner Nixon questioned the parking in front of a door. Upon inspection of the plans by Mr. Robinson, it was noted there was an error in the plans. The parking should not encroach on the doorway and a concrete apron should be shown on the plans. Commissioner Nixon asked if there would be any exposed HVAC ducting on the roof of the building. Mr. Robinson informed the Commission that the system would be a heat pump with internal ducting. Commissioner Nixon confirmed with Mr. Smith that adequate parking is shown on the site plan.
Commissioner Anderson asked if Mr. Robinson knew the intention of Mr. Olson concerning the balance of the lot. Mr. Robinson said that Mr. Olson intended to subdivide into two 3 acre parcels eventually. The Commissioners told Mr. Robinson that the zone required a minimum of 3-acre lots.
COMMISSIONER NIXON MOVED TO APPROVE THE REQUEST BY BUCK ROBINSON FOR THE CRAIG OLSON BUILDING AT 1200 WEST CENTER STREET. COMMISSIONER ATCHISON SECONDED THE MOTION. ALL PRESENT VOTED IN FAVOR. THE MOTION CARRIED.


6. Skywriter Signs - 105 South 1385 West - Review Architectural Design for Building
This is a request by Gayle McMurray to change the style of architectural treatment to his metal building constructed in Westlind Industrial Park.

Mr. Smith disclosed that Mr. McMurray was not present and had requested two more weeks to complete plans with his architect. Commissioner Anderson asked if Mr. McMurray had moved his billboard as requested. Mr. Smith confirmed that the billboard was now down and would be reinstalled at the new location soon.
COMMISSIONER PETERS MOVED TO CONTINUE THE REQUEST BY GAYLE MCMURRAY TO APPROVE A CHANGE OF ARCHITECTURAL TREATMENT AT SKYWRITER SIGNS, 105 SOUTH 1385 WEST. COMMISSIONER JOHANSON SECONDED THE MOTION. ALL PRESENT VOTED IN FAVOR. THE MOTION CARRIED.


7. Meadows at Bald Mountain - 700 East 800 North - Design Review
This is a request for a Planning Commission design review for a new 45-lot subdivision.

Commissioner Peters commented that the park previously shown in the northeast corner of previously proposed plats was missing from this plat. Mr. Rex Daley of Bald Mountain Development agreed and said that the property was very steep. Mr. Smith observed that the developers had been present at the last meeting in the Public Comment section to discuss the treatment of cul-de-sacs in the project. Commissioner Peters asked about the power line easement for the high voltage line that crosses the project. Mr. Daley confirmed that the easement was “unrestricted” and the line carried 4600 KV. Mr. Smith displayed a picture of the project on the overhead and directed the Commissioners’ attention to a memo from City Engineer Mark Christensen. He noted from the memo that the extension of 1200 East from the Pleasant Grove border to the southeast did not reach the edge of this property. Mr. Daley asserted that the developers did not own to the edge, only the property shown. He also stated that the developers did not have engineering plans for 1200 East from the city to know exactly where it would go. Mr. Smith confirmed that JUB Engineers were working on that project and would have them soon.
Commissioner Peters questioned the lots with a frontage on two roads. Mr. Smith disclosed that double frontage lots could be approved for reasons of topography. He informed the Commissioners that these lots would not be able to access 1200 East–all access would be from the lower cul-de-sac. Commissioner Peters asked Mr. Daley where the aqueduct crossed the property. Mr. Daley pointed out a large lot (#18) that contained a valve for the aqueduct. He disclosed the reason the lot was large was to allow building space for a home away from the fenced aqueduct and the valve.
Chairman Morse questioned the access to the subdivision. Mr. Daley replied that access would be from Phase 1 on the South, Pleasant Grove on the North and eventually 1200 East on the East side. Commissioner Nixon asked about plans for managing drainage in the subdivision. Mr. Daley disclosed that the storm water plan had been submitted to Mr. Christensen and his engineer was not here to present them. Drainage across the land was discussed. Commissioner Peters questioned the length of the roads into the cul-de-sacs. Mr. Smith explained that the length was figured from the nearest cross street, not the start of the street. The longest one was disclosed to be 650 feet.
Mr. Smith told the Commission that Mr. Christensen questioned whether lots 30 and 41 would be buildable according to the Hillside Ordinance. He requested that Mr. Daley have his engineer show a buildable pad on each lot. Commissioner Nixon questioned the cuts and fills needed to construct the shown extension of 1200 East. Mr. Daley directed his attention to the profile of the roads and guessed a maximum of 8-10 feet. He also told the Commission that they would like to apply for permission to level a high spot in the middle of lots 28, 29, 30, 36, 37 and 38. He explained that grading this high spot would help minimize the cuts and fills required to build the road and would make the lots more buildable. Mr. Smith told him to submit a grading plan for the Planning Commission and Engineering Department to review.
Commissioner Anderson asked how long before JUB Engineering completed the plans for 1200 East. Mr. Smith estimated about two weeks. Commissioner Nixon requested Mr. Daley to have his engineer show an offset to the northeast on the cul-de-sac that will tie into 1200 East. Commissioner Anderson confirmed with Mr. Smith that the Forest Service had been approached about crossing their land with 1200 East. Commissioner Nixon initiated discussion of the remaining parcel on the east side being left as a lot of record and not included in this plat map. Mr. Daley proposed to deed this parcel to the City for completion of 1200 East. Councilmember Bayless confirmed where the developers proposed to end the subdivision and leave a lot of record beyond the end of the cul-de-sac. Commissioner Nixon asked the length between the end of the cul-de-sac and the edge of the property.
Chairman Morse asked the plans of the developers in handling drainage from the debris basin at the northeast corner of the property. Mr. Daley informed him that any drainage from this debris basin would be directed into the street at the base of the basin. Chairman Morse informed Mr. Daley that the Planning Commission would need to see the Hillside review of Lots #30 and #41. Commissioner Peters confirmed for Mr. Daley that the Planning Commission would review a grading plan with the intention of minimizing cuts and fills on the street construction. Chairman Morse received assurance from Mr. Smith that the traffic flow and access were sufficient. Commissioner Nixon asked Mr. Daley to submit the storm drain plans to the Planning Commission.
Commissioner Peters asked if the alignment of the road into Pleasant Grove was correct. Mr. Daley confirmed that the road met the requirements. Mr. Smith commented that the present proposal was sufficient until the 1200 East Collector improvements were determined. Chairman Morse asked if there were any other comments for Mr. Daley from the Commissioners. He confirmed with Mr. Daley that he had the list of conditions for approval. Mr. Daley was questioned on his lot sales. He informed the Commissioners that interest was more evident since construction started. He was asked the price of the lots and replied that they were priced from $72,000 up.


8. 17.46.100 - Accessory Apartments - Ordinance Amendment
This is a Planning Commission request to revise sections of the accessory apartment code. The Commission will consider amending the code to prohibit detached accessory apartments.

Mr. Smith directed the Commissioners’ attention to the proposed amendment included in the staff report. Commissioner Johanson asked Mr. Smith to explain why a 30,000 square foot lot was chosen as the limit for allowing detached accessory apartments. Mr. Smith disclosed that it was chosen as a place to start discussion. Commissioner Johanson observed that there was a large home with a rental apartment on ½ acre in the Wheeler Subdivision on the corner of 400 West. Commissioner Peters initiated discussion on the prescribed setbacks required for detached apartments. Mr. Smith described the “envelope” of setbacks for a home and how a detached apartment fit in those requirements. Councilmember Bayless used Boyd Jacobson’s barn by Lindon Elementary as an example of a structure that could have a detached apartment built in it. Commissioner Nixon told the Commission that he had planned to build a detached apartment on his lot. This proposed ordinance would not allow him to build one because he does not have 30,000 square feet.
Commissioner Peters questioned the premise that an additional structure could be built on a lot without turning in more secondary water rights. It was decided after discussion that the secondary water requirement was covered by the lot size and that the additional load on the culinary system would be covered in the connection fee required in the building permit.
Commissioner Nixon asked the Commissioners to explain what problems they anticipated by allowing detached apartments on ½ acre lots. Councilmember Bayless explained that she felt a detached apartment was similar to a second home on a lot and was like subdividing a lot into two. She disclosed that she had been strongly opposed to all detached apartments until a recent visit to a detached studio apartment near the home of a friend in Provo. She was still opposed to detached apartments on ½ or 1/3 acre lots because of the space constraints.
Commissioner Johanson pointed out a spelling mistake in the proposed ordinance. The size of the apartment was discussed. Commissioner Anderson asked Mr. Smith for the standard size of accessory apartments in Lindon. The standard size was disclosed as 1200 square feet. Mr. Smith explained that if the accessory apartment was detached, it would need to blend with the neighborhood and other detached buildings, so he proposed to go smaller at 1000 square feet. Chairman Morse discussed the size of a starter home and theorized that a detached apartment should probably be smaller.
Commissioner Nixon observed that the City allows a detached garage on ½ acre and questioned how that was different than a detached apartment. He agreed that a detached apartment should be smaller and suggested 750 square feet. Mr. Smith discussed the proposed ordinance and the height limitation of a detached apartment being 20 feet unless it was built in conjunction with a detached garage. The height limitation would then be 35 feet. Councilmember Bayless attempted to explain the objections she had to detached accessory apartments on ½ acre to Commissioner Nixon. She cited the potential impact to property values. Commissioner Johanson expressed agreement with Commissioner Nixon. Commissioner Atchison agreed with the limit being 30,000 square feet.
Chairman Morse commented that a detached apartment would make a ½-acre lot feel crowded. Commissioner Nixon asked him to explain. Chairman Morse listed an extra driveway, space for setbacks and neighbor complaints. Commissioner Nixon questioned how the neighbors would feel crowded if the apartment met all the setbacks. Councilmember Bayless answered that the ambiance of the neighborhood was affected. Commissioner Nixon felt the change in the neighborhood was insignificant. He felt that an apartment over a garage was not different than a shop or storage space in the same area. He stated that he would not put windows over his neighbor’s yard if he did build over a detached garage.
Chairman Morse commented that an apartment created more activity on a lot than a storage or shop area. Commissioner Nixon felt that the amount of activity depended more on the size of the apartment. He contended that an attached accessory apartment in a basement would have more activity in the lot too. He asserted that there would be less density if the apartment was over the garage because it would be smaller. He suggested that the Commission consider a detached accessory apartment on ½-acre if it was a smaller size like 750 square feet.
Commissioner Peters expressed approval of the ordinance as written. He felt that the size of the lot was important. Commissioner Atchison agreed. Commissioner Nixon asked them to explain their objections to the difference between an attached accessory apartment in a basement and a detached accessory apartment over a garage. Commissioner Atchison proposed that the activities in a detached apartment were too secluded from the owner. Commissioner Anderson agreed that a detached apartment had a different feeling (of independence?) Art Jackson, a Lindon resident at 362 W 700 N, agreed that the type of individual who would rent a basement apartment was different from the individual that would rent an apartment over a garage. He asserted that the owner had more control of the activities in his home than in a separate building on his lot. Councilmember Bayless agreed with Mr. Jackson and expressed concern at the potential activities that may occur in a separate building. Commissioner Johanson disagreed and pointed out that detached apartments already existed in Lindon.
Mr. Jackson asserted that the Commissioners would see more applications for accessory apartments in the coming months because of the economic slowdown. He observed that property owners would be looking for ways to supplement their income. Mr. Smith commented that a smaller apartment would blend in with the lot and neighborhood better. Commissioner Nixon proposed that a detached apartment of 800 square feet be allowed on a ½-acre lot. Commissioner Johanson agreed. Commissioner Peters suggested that the size of the lot stay at 30,000 square feet and the height limitations stay as written. He suggested a compromise of Planning Commission review of proposed detached accessory apartments on 20,000 square foot lots. Mr. Smith asked for the criteria that would decide which applications on 20,000 square foot lots would be approved. Commissioner Nixon suggested that the impact on the neighbors, the topography of the lot and its neighbors, and the location of windows and doors as criteria. There was discussion of his suggestion. There was objection to only allowing detached accessory apartments to ½-acre lots on the downhill side of an uphill neighbor so his yard would not be viewed from the apartment.
Commissioner Anderson suggested that owners desiring detached accessory apartments meet the R2 Overlay standards. He commented that this process required larger setbacks. Commissioner Johanson observed that would make an accessory apartment the same as a duplex. Mr. Jackson commented the Commissioners needed to be concerned with precedence in allowing some detached accessory apartment applications over others. Commissioner Anderson commented that there would not be many applications for detached accessory apartments since there were not many lots over 30,000 square feet in Lindon. He commented that he felt detached apartments were more visible and would create more clamor among neighbors. Councilmember Bayless agreed. Commissioner Johanson pointed out a potential problem with residents building illegal apartments. The illegal apartments in Lindon posing as canning kitchens were discussed.
The Commissioners discussed changing the maximum square footage allowed from 1000 to 800 square feet. Commissioner Anderson proposed that the 1000 square feet stand on 30,000 square foot lots and lots of less acreage reduce the apartment square footage to 800. It was decided to leave the maximum square footage at 1000.
COMMISSIONER PETERS MOVED TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO 17.46.100 AS WRITTEN. COMMISSIONER ANDERSON SECONDED THE MOTION. ALL PRESENT VOTED IN FAVOR EXCEPT COMMISSIONERS NIXON AND JOHANSON WHO VOTED NAY. THE MOTION CARRIED.


9. Planning Director’s Report

Mr. Smith submitted a grading plan for Canberra Heights Plat B, Lot 22 for Planning Commission review. He observed that although the lot was almost flat, it was located above the aqueduct and so was under the jurisdiction of the Hillside Ordinance. Commissioner Nixon asked if the contours shown were proposed or existing. Mr. Smith reported that the existing slope was about 11% across the lot.
COMMISSIONER ANDERSON MOVED TO APPROVE THE GRADING PLAN FOR LOT 22, CANBERRA HEIGHTS PLAT B. COMMISSIONER NIXON SECONDED THE MOTION. ALL PRESENT VOTED IN FAVOR. THE MOTION CARRIED.

Commissioner Peters reported a problem with contractors building unapproved driveway approaches. He also reported that he had received a complaint that Lindon City was slow in issuing building permits.
Mr. Smith announced that he and Commissioner Peters would be attending a Planner’s Conference in Springdale Thursday and Friday of this week. He noted that the conference would be oriented to rural communities. Mr. Smith asked the Commissioners if they would like to be registered with the American Planning Association and received their materials. Forms were offered.
Mr. Smith introduced Planning Intern Adam Cowie and announced that Planning Intern Dave Franson was leaving for a new job in Spokane, Washington.
