SCHEDULED ITEMS

CHANGE ORDER – Hardrock Excavation – Well #1 Upgrade – CO#2

This item was removed from the consent agenda to allow additional discussion.  Motion and Second to approve the change order.  Passed unanimously.

DISCUSSION – Eagle Mountain South Service Area Wastewater Treatment Plant Update – Chris Trusty, City Engineer.

Chris Trusty reviewed an update to the SSA WWTP.  Darrel Dixon from Stantec and Ed Macauley from Utah State Department of Environmental Quality were also present. 

RESOLUTION – Consideration and Approval of a Resolution to extend the capacity of the South Service Area Wastewater Treatment Facility Oxidation Ditch from 0.6 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) to 1.2 Million Gallons per Day (MGD). The Final Facilities Plan has received final approval from State Department of Environmental Quality, and City Staff have begun coordinating with Stantec on the final design of the plant. During the design meetings, it has become apparent that the plant size could be doubled for a 30% increase in price. The State has verbally agreed that they would be willing to allow the City to design an increased plant size provided a short memorandum is added as an addendum to the Final Facilities Plan indicating our desire to upgrade the plant size.  Given expected growth rates in the South Service Area, the 0.6 MGD plant would be near capacity at its expected completion date. The 1.2 MGD would not be expected to reach capacity for at least 20 years, at current population projections.

Councilmember Jackson moved to approve Resolution R-15-2007 with the recommendation that a change in scope to the current contact with Stantec be brought back to the City Council; and that the City Council study impact fees and bring forward any necessary changes at the earliest convenience.  Councilmember Lifferth seconded the motion.  The motion passed with a majority vote of 4:1 with Councilmember Blackburn voting nay. 

MOTION – Consideration and Approval of the Final Plat for SilverLake 8.

SilverLake Plat 8 is located just east of the Silver Lake Amphitheater, just off Pony Express Parkway.  The SilverLake Master Development Plan was amended on September 5th 2006.  The newly amended plan included Plat 8 which proposes a total of 76 lots over a total of 31.89 acres for a density of 2.38 units per acre.  Current zoning supports this density.  This item is on the regular agenda since a special condition of fencing around the existing amphitheater will be addressed.

The applicant requested this item be removed from the agenda.

MOTION – Determination of Significance and Whether to Dispose or Not Dispose of City-owned Property Located Behind the Ricky and Angie Thompson Property in Eagle Park Subdivision. 

Mr. & Mrs. Thompson, property owners in the Eagle Park subdivision have submitted a formal letter of application requesting that the City dispose of a portion of the open space behind their home, located at 4669 North Osprey Way.  This open space area is part of the recorded open space in the Eagle Park Phase 2 Plat.  This open space may some day be suitable for a pedestrian trail, and the City should ensure that there is enough land available for one to be built at some point in the future.  This application requires two formal actions from the City Council.  First, they need to classify the City-owned property that is being proposed for disposal as either Significant or Insignificant.  Second, the City Council needs to make a recommendation on the disposal of the property.  Based upon the criteria in Ordinance O 11-2003, the Planning Commission recommends that this open space area of the Eagle Park Subdivision be classified as Insignificant. 

Councilmember Jackson made a motion to deem the property as insignificant and dispose of the property subject to the following conditions: 

1.      SID PAYMENTS. That the land is subject to the SID as developable property and that these assessments are paid as required by the bond covenants.

2.      PROCESSING FEE. That the Applicant pays costs in the amount of $150.  All costs incurred by the City for preparing deeds and recordation should be borne by the Applicant.

3.      OTHER PAPERWORK.  That all other paperwork and fees (land survey, deed preparation & recording, other miscellaneous fees, etc.) are borne by the applicant. 

4.      EASEMENTS.  That all easements required by the City Engineer are provided.

5.      LAND COST.  That the price to be paid for the land is determined by Mr. Kinghorn based on the current value of the property for the 2007 tax year.

Councilmember Liddiard seconded the motion.  Passed unanimously

The Meeting adjourned at 8:38 p.m.
