Marriott-Slaterville History October 2012 The matter was tabled until the next meeting to allow time to look over the study, by unanimous vote of the council. Ordinance 2012-06, relating to amendments to Chapter 13.26 for regulations applicable to more than one zone as it relates to fencing and metal roofs was discussed by the Council. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 18, 2012, to take public comment on the Ordinance, after which the Planning Commission gave its recommendation to approve this Ordinance relating to fencing amendments and deny as it relates to the setback of metal roof buildings. The fencing portion of the Ordinance adds: "No fence shall be topped with barb wire, razor wife, or similar device on lots used tor residential purposes." The staff explained that such types of fence in residential properties are not appropriate. The metal roof amendment was proposed by Nathan Crowton, who requested that the side yard setback from metal roof buildings be amended from 8 feet to 6 feet. Trent Meyerhoffer stated that the Planning Commission had a concern about changing the law after it had been enforced for the past four to five years. The Planning Commission did not want to change it, recommending the setback remain at 8 feet. Mr. Crowton, petitioner, felt that 8 feet between a fence and a shed leaves too much space where transients can come, or weeds can grow. After discussion, the council voted on a motion to remove the section amending the set back for metal roof sheds so it will remain at 8 feet, and unanimously approved Ordinance 2012-06, as amended. Ordinance 2012-07, relating to parking amendments was discussed by the council. It will allow the city to regulate the parking of recreational vehicles and other equipment on city streets. It does not apply to private property. President Dennis Illum felt the Ordinance is needed to help with parking problems on 400 North and 1200 West. Ordinance 2012-07 was approved 4 to 1, with Councilman Delbert Hodson voting nay. Mayor Keith Butler thanked the staff tor work on city celebrations, and also thanked volunteers for help at the city parks. Mayor Butler has been invited to participate in upcoming Veterans Day celebrations. UDOT is paving a right turn lane at 1900 West and 700 South to help with the traffic. This is not a city project. Councilman Scott Van Leeuwen has obtained 3 tables to be donated to the city for parks; he will try to get more. Fall clean-up was held successfully October 12-14, 2012. Two dumpsters were placed by Waste Management at both the Marriott and Slaterville Parks, all well filled. Mr. Slater is concerned about Garth White expanding his pig farm.
