58 explained further. He said it is part of the General Plan rather than actual code, which is why it's 59 more vague. He explained the document further.

60 Mayor Cann said the General Plan is not legally binding on the City and explained further. He 61 said there could potentially be language added in making it clearer that not every isolated area 62 should become high-density housing, and commented further. Spencer Burt said this is reviewed 63 each year to check in on the goals. Mayor Cann discussed the areas where we already have 64 high-density housing, and explained further.

65 Mayor Cann discussed adding verbiage that says something like, not all isolated areas will 66 develop in this way; that the City recognizes and acknowledges the need for some additional 67 multi=.famil¥""'i;Jousin .

68 The council discussed this further.

Spencer addressed minor questions from the council. Brad Crookston noted the typo stating that this is in the R-1-12 ;zone, when it is actually in an R-1-1 0 zone, which allows this , where the R-1-12 would not.

He further discussed the letter and issues regarding compensation to them to purchase part of the roadway, which he further explained ; and the issue of impact fees, which he further explained, including that we would be willing to waive the 1/5 times impact fees and do the regular impact fees as long as they applied for and were moving towards annexation, and succeeded in annexation within a reasonable period of time.

11 0 Brad Crookston discussed some of his issues on this including the amount listed of the cost per 111 square foot, and regard ing impact fees going to the county rather than to North Logan City, and 112 road development.

126 00:59:-37~Explanation

127 Spencer Burt explained the situation and the request from a group of doctors wanting medical 128 offices on a parcel in this mixed-use zone. He exp_l_aln_e_d_!lliLsltJ.LatLQo_w.Ltb_d_e_v~eLQp_iogJb~e-===-==-=====----==-c--=l 129 building and the issue of meeting code and how that would be managed in relation to the height 130 of the building, as the doctors want a three-story building, which puts this over the 35 feet height 131 maximum for the mixed-use zone. He said there is a line in the code that states that the City 132 Council can approve a height over 35 feet. He explained that in the General Commercial zone; 133 for every two feet higher, you go one foot further away with the setbacks, which could be applied 134 here. He said the height here is 46 feet, and their setback is 15 feet. He said an ordinance was 135 passed recently which makes the setback 15 feet. He said five feet further away on their setback 136 would give them 10 additional feet, which would give them a maximum height of 45 feet, and 137 currently they are at 46 feet. .He said there is no specific guidance for the mixed-use zone, but 138 this is just helpful information. Alan Luce explained some details of the zone and the code for this 139 area particularly in relation to the height of the building. He said they reached out to the HOA of 140 the Towne Center Villas and a lot of the concerns are being taken care of through the code, 141 although they do have the concern about the height. He explained the height of some of the 142 businesses around Towne Center Villas. He said this will block the view, and said the other 143 question is what other kind of business could come into this area, including a convenience store, 144 and commented further.

145 Alan addressed questions from the council and the discussion continued.

146 Deanna Fry said she lives at nearby Towne Center Villas . She explained that when they moved 147 there, they were told that the commercial land to the east would be a one level commercial 148 building. She said none of their residences face Pioneer Valley lodge and said that Maple 149 Springs was not ,built very high and is a bit away from them . She said the proposed elevation of 150 this was somethi)lg they were not informed about going in and said she is very alarmed that 151 something like this being proposed.

152 Brad Crookston said when we rezoned the City Center, this was a fairly significant concern to that 153 whole area [at Towne Center Villas] and said at Maple Springs, there was a height limit for this 154 project, and gradually goes up in the back for that reason, and was code-required .

155 Alan Luce discussed his conversation with the HOA of Towne Center Villas and the concerns of 156 the HOA, which he further explained , with the issue of the three-story building being a main 157 concern . Alan said there were other issues of concern such as lights, traffic, parking, access 158 points, the screening of dumpsters and stormwater runoff. He reiterated that the main concern is 159 the height.

160 The discussion continued. Mayor Cann said the argument he finds most persuasive is if not this 161 though, then what, and commented further, and that this may be the best kind of thing that could 162 be built there and have less negative impact.

163 Brad said it's unfortunate that this code is there with such little guidance and commented further.

164 Roger Anderson there is concern about the height, however, everything around this corner is 165 medically-related and explained further. He said the view is going to be lost no matter what is 166 built there. He also said this fits the area as a commercial space.

167 Brad Crookston said if this was put on another adjacent lot and the 35-foot maximum height was 168 utilized, more view would potentially be blocked for the majority of the residents, so this could 169 actually be better. And he said he agrees that the City has been looking for more commercial to 170 be built in this area.

171 Kristen Anderson said change can be hard but when you compare the height of this with buildings 172 around it, this is compatible with the other buildings in this area.

173 Bruce Lee said he likes that we don't have to arbitrarily apply a standard and that we have some 174 guidance with the code. He said unfortunately a bu ilding will block the view, but that if they're 175 going to have commercial next door, this is a good thing to have there as something else could 176 be worse. He said this is a good solution and fits the area and commented further .

177 The discussion continued .

178 Craig Humphreys said we have discussed maintaining open space, and that a taller building 179 takes up less of a footprint and can actually preserve more open space.

He discussed 22 1 additional items and concerns . He said another issue is the loss of autonomy moving from a two-222 city to a three-city department. He said the information they're getting from the law enforcement 223 side is that any decreases in cost means a decrease in service. He discussed the governance 224 issues . He said Mayor Fl int suggested getting the feelings of each council to see whether a 225 three-city agency is supported and gave a brief "skeleton" outline of how the governance issues 226 would be managed including no building lease payment which he further explained ; a portion of

227 the North Logan City station would be used, but not with personnel ; each city would agree a 1 OK 228 cost to the formula which he further explained; and, the existence of an oversight board with 229 members from each city. He commented further.

230 Mayor Cann said there are some adjustments that could improve this current "skeleton" proposal 23 1 but that at present, he does not see a net advantage to North Logan City versus the current 232 service we are receiving from the North Park Pol ice Agency and commented further.

233 Bruce Lee commented that he felt that Interim Police Chief Black is doing an excellent job, 234 particularly in a difficult situation . He said in the discussions with the police commission, in 235 discussing the various issues in the proposal, he said he does not feel that is enough of a cost 236 savir.Jgs that we callilefill.e and-becs_ure tbatds wbabi&-goingJGbha~mera=I=Je_also"<iliscussed-- is 237 concerns regarding controls . He said he thinks this is the wrong decision and explained further.

238 Roger Anderson said regarding the building, we've been through enough and received comments 239 from citizens ; and that where we're paying a premium for pol ice services, he would hate to see

-----';240--tl9at-eentf01-new-§e-away-and-cemm ented-ftJrther.- He-said-the-boilding-isopaid-off,=and-we-h-ave....--------241 controls, and commented further.

242 Brad Crookston said he doesn't feel we're gaining anything and wouldn 't support going with 243 Smithfield and commented further. He said he thinks we should move forward and get a new 244 police chief in place as soon as possible.

245 Kristen Anderson said she concurred and the current proposal does not seem compelling enough 246 to make a change.

247 Mayor Damon Cann summarized the City Council 's position that they are not interested in this 248 proposal. 249 250 Reports from city officers, boards, and committees 251 02:13:13 Interim Police Chief Black gave the latest crime stats . 252 253 02:14:43 Jordan Oldham gave an update on traffic lighting. 254 255 02:16:02 Scott Bennett set a date with the council for the canvas to certify the results with the 256 City Council ; and agreed to Monday, November 18 at noon. 257 258 02:18:46 Alan Luce expressed thanks to the Police Agency and Officer Jardine for provid ing an 259 Active Shooter Training to North Logan City staff.
