OPEN SESSION - Citizens comments
1. Sandra Christiansen, 363 West Lakeview Drive, asked the Council to consider street signs near her home that would warn speeding motorists of children playing in the neighborhood and of homeowners backing out of blind driveways. She explained that the curve of the road on Lakeview Drive obstructs the view of traffic from herself and her neighbors as they attempt to exit their driveways. She said that motorists usually were speeding around that curve and she was concerned not only for herself and her neighbors getting hit trying to back out of their driveways, but also for children playing near the street. Mayor Ellertson thanked Mrs. Christiansen for coming to the Council with her concerns and asked City Administrator Ott Dameron to request the city’s traffic engineer to follow up with Mrs. Christiansen.
2. Alene Hardman, 749 North 400 East and Tammy Northrup, 315 East 680 North, asked the Council to consider installing a crosswalk on 400 East near their homes. Mrs. Hardman explained that the school bus picked up about 40 neighborhood children at a bus stop on 680 North, many of whom were crossing 400 East to get to the bus stop. Considering the amount and speed of the traffic on 400 East, they were concerned for the children’s safety and felt a crosswalk could help. Discussion was held about signs and having the traffic engineer review the situation. Mayor Ellertson asked Mr. Dameron to request the city’s traffic engineer to contact Mrs. Hardman and Mrs. Northrup about the problems.
MAYOR’S COMMENTS/REPORT
Mayor Ellertson commented that the bids had been let for the I-15 project and verified with Mr. Dameron that the date of the bid closing would be September 26, 2000. He reported that he was continuing to work on trails and open space issues and invited questions from the audience.
BUSINESS
1. Public Hearing - Zone Change Request. This public hearing was scheduled to hear a request by Johansen/Thackeray for a zone change to part of the undeveloped property in RDA Project Area #3 located at approximately 400 South and 600 West, and to take public comment concerning the request. The Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions. One condition was that a “retail absorption” study be completed by the applicant to give the city a better idea as to how much retail zoning could be supported on this property. The study has not been completed in time for this meeting. The Council could choose to take comments from the developer and the public, or the Council could choose to continue the hearing until the study has been completed. However, action on this item will need to be delayed until the Planning Commission’s recommendation is fulfilled.
Mayor Ellertson asked Mr. Dameron if the “retail absorption” study had been received as requested. Mr. Dameron reported that it had not yet been received. Mayor Ellertson inquired if anyone in the audience had attended intended to address the Council concerning this zone change. No one spoke up.
COUNCILMEMBER DAIN MOVED TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE REQUEST BY JOHANSEN/THACKERAY FOR A ZONE CHANGE FROM PC1 TO R&B ON PROPERTY LOCATED APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN 500 WEST AND 800 WEST AND 200 SOUTH AND 400 SOUTH TO AWAIT THE RECEIPT OF THE REQUESTED “RETAIL ABSORPTION STUDY.” COUNCILMEMBER BATH SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTING WAS UNANIMOUSLY IN FAVOR WITH ALL PRESENT. THE MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Dameron informed the Council that City Attorney Gordon Duval was not present as yet to discuss item #2 with them. The Council decided to advance to item #4 of the agenda as Mr. and Mrs. Gren were present and to move to other items until Mr. Duval arrived.
4. Preliminary Plat - Gren Subdivision, Plat “A”. This is a request for preliminary plat approval for Gren Subdivision, Plat “A”, 1 lot, R1-20 zone, located at 375 West 800 North.
Mayor Ellertson invited Planning Director Kevin Smith to introduce and explain the background of the Gren’s application to the City Council. Mr. Smith informed the Council that this subdivision contains two pieces of property owned by the Gren’s. One piece is a legally platted lot and one is a lot of record with a metes and bounds description. The owner has built a parking structure between the two triplexes that spans the common property line and is therefore in violation of the building code. Mr. Smith pointed out that this property is a good example of R2 Overlay in action, even though it was built previous to the enactment of the ordinance. The Council verified with Mr. Smith that the Planning Commission had no concerns with this item.
COUNCILMEMBER DAIN MOVED TO APPROVE THE REQUEST BY DAVID GREN FOR PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF A ONE LOT SUBDIVISION, GREN SUBDIVISION, PLAT “A”, AT 375 WEST 800 NORTH. COUNCILMEMBER HATCH SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTING WAS UNANIMOUS WITH ALL PRESENT. THE MOTION CARRIED.
3. Continued Public Hearing - Ordinance Amendments - Chapter 17. This public hearing was continued from the last Council meeting to allow the Planning Commission time to hear the item and make a recommendation to the Council. Tonight, the City Council will hear public comment and possibly act to approve the repeal of certain sections of Chapter 17 of the Lindon City Code referencing Planned Unit Developments, Performance Standard Subdivisions, and Mobile Home Parks.
As City Attorney Gordon Duval had not arrived yet, COUNCILMEMBER BAYLESS MOVED TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 17. COUNCILMEMBER DAIN SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTING WAS UNANIMOUS WITH ALL PRESENT. THE MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Smith explained to the Council that this amendment is a result of previous action of the Council repealing various ordinances in the Lindon City Code specifically referring to Planned Unit Developments, Performance Standard Subdivision, and Mobile Home Parks. This ordinance will repeal all references to these sections within other sections of the Lindon City Code.
Mayor Ellertson asked for public comment on the proposed ordinance amendments. There was none.
After a brief discussion, COUNCILMEMBER BAYLESS MOVED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM. COUNCILMEMBER ACERSON SECONDED THE MOTION. THE VOTING WAS UNANIMOUS WITH ALL PRESENT. THE MOTION CARRIED.
COUNCILMEMBER BAYLESS MOVED TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 2000-11 AMENDING CHAPTER 17 OF THE LINDON CITY CODE TO REMOVE ALL REFERENCES TO PREVIOUSLY REPEALED SECTIONS CONCERNING PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS, PERFORMANCE STANDARD SUBDIVISIONS, AND MOBILE HOME PARKS. COUNCILMEMBER HATCH SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTING WAS UNANIMOUS WITH ALL PRESENT. THE MOTION CARRIED. (See attachment.)
6. Review and Action - Street Lighting Policy - Request and Petition. At the request of the Council, the staff developed a policy for street lighting requests which includes an application/petition process. This item was continued from the last Council meeting to allow time for a few recommended changes.
Mayor Ellertson asked Mr. Dameron to discuss this item with the Council. Mr. Dameron reminded the Council they were to have visited 800 East in Orem to see the streetlight display there. They were to see if they preferred an alternative style of streetlight to the one currently in use within the city. Planning Director Kevin Smith asked the Council what their intent concerning the procedure for approval of new streetlights was–whether they wanted to review all applications themselves, or set up policy guidelines which would allow staff to make the decisions. The Council assured Mr. Smith they preferred the latter method. Councilmember Dain suggested that the form be called an “application” and not a “petition.” He also recommended the back of the form be called a “citizen comment” and include a comment column for residents to express their opinion of the proposed street light installation.
Councilmember Hatch reported that he had visited the Orem display site and particularly liked the streetlight with the “heavy pole.” A discussion of the different styles and their uses in different areas of Orem and Pleasant Grove commenced. Determination of locations where a streetlight installation could be approved was discussed. Mr. Dameron suggested adding the word “permanent” to the phrase “dead end street.”
Mayor Ellertson pointed out this application would suffice for existing streets, and asked about the procedure for streetlights in new developments. Mr. Smith explained that Mr. Glen Lawrence of Utah Power and Light had defined their requirements to the Building Inspection and Planning Departments. Discussion of responsibility for installation cost and maintenance costs prompted a request for a work meeting on this subject from Mayor Ellertson.
Mayor Ellertson summarized the suggestions from the Council and asked for any further comments or suggestions. Mr. Dameron suggested wording on an appeal process should be added to the form. Mayor Ellertson suggested that wording describing the procedure for neighborhood review also be added.
COUNCILMEMBER BATH MOVED TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION FOR STREETLIGHT INSTALLATION WITH THE WORDING CHANGES AS SUGGESTED. COUNCILMEMBER HATCH SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTING WAS UNANIMOUS WITH ALL PRESENT. THE MOTION CARRIED.
The Council set a work meeting to discuss streetlight installations within new developments for October 3 at 6:00 p.m. and Mayor Ellertson asked the Councilmembers to visit the display site in Orem.
2. Continued Public Hearing - Wireless Telecommunications Ordinance Amendments. This public hearing was continued from the last Council meeting to allow the City Attorney the time to make recommended changes to the proposed amended ordinance and to give absent Council members time to review the item. Tonight, the City Council will hear public comment and possibly act to approve ordinance amendments specifically referring to wireless telecommunications including the franchise application, and franchise agreement. This hearing is in response to the request made by Liberty Wirestar on behalf of Metricom for installation of transceivers on cobra head street lighting fixtures.
COUNCILMEMBER ACERSON MOVED TO OPEN THE CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING FOR CONSIDERING AN AMENDMENT TO THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ORDINANCE AND FRANCHISE AGREEMENT. COUNCILMEMBER HATCH SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTING WAS UNANIMOUS WITH ALL PRESENT. THE MOTION CARRIED.
Mayor Ellertson invited City Attorney Gordon Duval to present the changes suggested. Mr. Dameron pointed out the changes were non-substantive in nature and had to do with the nature of Metricom’s technology. A discussion ensued concerning wording changes within the ordinance and the franchise agreement concerning the offset to the annual fee by the business license fee, changing the amount of the franchise tax by ordinance of the City Council, reducing the time limits for payments due from 45 days to 30 days, charging the provider the costs of making amendments to the agreements but not for renewal of the agreement, determining the Public Works Department as the appropriate city department to liaise installation, location and/or relocation with, use the generic term “accommodate provider facilities” rather than “poles”.
Mayor Ellertson also suggested taking out references to “city-owned” poles because although the city did not own them they were responsible for them. He felt that furnishing a statement with every payment of franchise tax was unreasonable when the city had the right of audit. Discussion with Ms. Jill Schwinn of Metricom on the obligations of Metricom to the City concerning resellers of their services and their obligation to obtain franchise agreements with the City was held. Ms. Schwinn suggested that when Metricom notified resellers of their obligation to obtain franchise agreements with Lindon City that the City receive a copy also. Discussion of the pro and con of requiring a minimum franchise fee of $2,500 was also held. Wording concerning surety bonding was also included.
COUNCILMEMBER ACERSON MOVED TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 2000-12 AMENDING CHAPTER 5.06 TELECOMMUNICATIONS ORDINANCE, AND THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WITH METRICOM WITH THE CHANGES SUGGESTED BEING REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE MAYOR. COUNCILMEMBER BATH SECONDED THE MOTION. ALL VOTED IN FAVOR EXCEPT COUNCILMEMBER BAYLESS WHO VOTED NAY. THE MOTION CARRIED.
COUNCILMEMBER BATH MOVED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. COUNCILMEMBER BAYLESS SECONDED THE MOTION. ALL VOTED IN FAVOR WITH ALL MEMBERS PRESENT. THE MOTION CARRIED.
5. Preliminary Plat - Condominium Conversion, Rocky Mountain Business Center. This is a request for a preliminary plat approval for a condominium conversion for the Rocky Mountain Business Center, dividing the building into 4 units, MG zone, located at 660 North 2500 West.
Mr. Smith introduced Mr. Scott Anderson and his proposal to turn his Rocky Mountain Business Center into a 4 unit business condominium with the parking and landscaping as the limited common. Councilmember Dain confirmed that the maintenance of the landscaping would be the responsibility of the owner’s association.
Mayor Ellertson asked Mr. Anderson if he would be agreeable to an easement for the possible relocation of the Barnes Bullets “shooting tunnel.” Mr. Anderson agreed that he was favorable to the idea if it was in the landscaped portion on the extreme southeast end of his lot and did not affect his parking lot. Mr. Duval suggested a note on the plat map and a separate recorded easement recorded at the County Recorder’s Office independent of the plat map. Mr. Dameron made it clear, as did Mayor Ellertson, that this request is not a condition of approval for Mr. Anderson’s preliminary plat. Mr. Anderson understood and said he would still be interested in cooperating with Mr. Brooks of Barnes Bullets for accommodating the relocation of the “shooting tunnel” if necessary.
COUNCILMEMBER BAYLESS MOVED TO APPROVE SCOTT ANDERSON’S REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN BUSINESS CENTER PLAT “A” LOCATED AT 660 NORTH 2500 WEST FOR CONDOMINIUM CONVERSION. COUNCILMEMBER ACERSON SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTING WAS UNANIMOUS WITH ALL MEMBERS PRESENT. THE MOTION CARRIED.
