Show MARRIOTT-SLATERVILLE CITY HISTORY April 2007 Marriott-Slaterville has again received recognition as a Tree City USA for 2006, as part of the annual Arbor Day observance. At the April 19, 2007, City Council Meeting, business licenses were issued, after discussion, for the following businesses: Rent Management Services, 969 North 1200 West, property management Valley Home Works, 969 North 1200 West, handyman SAC Cleaning, P. O. Box 13786 (Amcor), cleaning buildings Lush Lawns Landscape and Construction, 1462 West 700 South, landscape Stoney Motors, 1181 West 12th Street, used car sales Utah Renaissance Festival, 600 North 200 West, arts/crafts festival Waste Management, 8652 South 4000 West, solid waste collection Martus Laundry, 1723 West 1350 South, laundry Metro Waste desires to locate a transfer company within city boundaries, in a M-1 zone where such a business is permitted, although the city is hesitant to approve the establishment. Metro Waste is offering incentives including a host fee to the city of $1 per ton of waste transferred at the facility, a tipping fee credit equal to 650 households in the city, free recycling for the city and its residents, a discounted tipping fee of $25 for all resident units over 650, and other incentives. Delbert Hodson questioned the access to the site on 12th Street and 1900 West, including public safety with a flat bed trailer leaving the site. Charlie Luke and John Moss from Metro Waste said they are currently working with UDOT on access issues. They plan on about 50 trucks each day at the site. There will only be four trailers over night on the site, never more. They explained their operation, saying the truck will be weighed, then pulled into a building. The truck will exit back out over the scales. Waste will never be outside of the building. Inside the operation is a single stream recycling where employees manually sort and pull out recyclables. The remainder will be compacted, bailed, loaded on a flat bed, tarped inside the building, then transported to the Skull Valley dump. When Kim Slater asked about liquid waste, Mr. Moss stated there is little liquid waste, but the building will have its own drain system. The excess liquid will be contained and then shipped to another site. The first truck would come in at 5:00 a.m. and continue to around 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Saturday operation is more limited. Mr. Luke stated the operation will be quiet because all machinery will be inside the building. Only the trucks that pull the flat beds will be outside. Because the building will be sitting lower than the road, less noise will be heard. Delbert Hodson asked about foul odors. Mr. Luke said loads are processed within 24 hours to reduce odors. If some loads have excessive bad odors, they will be diverted to another facility. Rob Smout asked if they have customers who will use the facility. Mr. Luke said they already have companies interested in using the facility. They invited members to visit the site in Salt Lake City. Scott Van Leeuwen expressed skepticism about the operation. President Dennis Illum asked the staff to review the matter and bring it back before the council next month. The item was tabled until that time. The tentative budget for the Pioneer Special District was presented by City Administrator Bill Morris. After discussion the FY 2007-08 tentative budget for Pioneer Special District was approved and a public hearing was set for May 17, 2007, on the final budget. 105 |
