Discussion on drafting a new ordinance regarding division of cost for added infrastructure.
Commissioner Brian Ewell reported on comparable cities; Midway, Mapleton, Elk Ridge, and Spanish Fork, with ordinances related to reimbursing developers for adding development. Chairman Joe Stubbs liked the idea of Mapleton’s ordinance putting the reimbursement process onto the developer. To get reimbursement the city had to approve it. They leave it upon the developer to come up with the reimbursement plan because each situation is different. Mapleton has a five year reimbursement plan, after the stated time period no additional reimbursements can be submitted for that infrastructure. All discussed cities had a five year reimbursement expiration. Chairman Stubbs suggested that the Council just limit their discussion to what was liked or not liked about the ordinances from the comparable cities. Chairman Stubbs wanted to speak with The Town Council and see how committed they were to getting this ordinance set up before The Planning Commission went through the whole process of getting a new ordinance generated.
Discussion on amending ordinance to show that the 170’ of frontage must be contiguous. Chairman Joe Stubbs stated that he had always understood it to be that contiguous frontage to be assumed but Councilman John Rosenberger wants to take the word assume out of the discussion. It needs to be spelled out in black and white. Legal Counsel Josh Nielsen asked what The Planning Commission wanted to be approved for building lots going forward. Chairman Stubbs said that as long as we are consistent going forward then that is what should be approved. Contiguous frontage or both sides used for frontage on a corner lot. Planning Commission discussed on if they wanted the same contiguous frontage to be applied to all the zoning (residential, agriculture).
Discussion on implementing a SWPPP. John Rosenberger would rather wait until next month where there would be more chairman present.
John Rosenberger made a motion to table SWPPP until June meeting.
Brian Ewell seconded motion.
All in favor.
