Marriott-Slaterville History January 2007 possible. The results, in order, were, a) Waste Management, 98, b) Robinson Waste, 84, c) Ace Disposal, 80, d) Econo Waste 75, e) Allied Waste Services, 67. The committee recommended approval of the Waste Management bid, based upon $9.50 per month base fee, which includes the resident's garbage can and tipping fee, a $1.00 fuel surcharge, and $.50 city imposed administrative fee, for a total garbage bill of $11.00 per month. A letter received from Collette and Robert Simonton in favor of the garbage collection service, and thanking the council for their involvement, was read by Mr. Morris. No other public comment was offered. The final aspect of the public hearing involved the long standing zoning problem with Frank Blair. The Planning Commission recommends approval of a zoning reversion to prior designation of A-1, and a zoning change to O-1 according to the general plan, on various parcels currently zoned M-1 and C-2, repealing prior land use enactments relating to Frank Blair for parcels along or in the vicinity of the 400 North corridor. The staff requested the matter be tabled without action after the public hearing to allow staff time to meet with both attorneys involved, with the matter brought back for action at a later meeting. When public comment was requested, Dick Evans, a resident whose home is near some of the land, spoke against development of the property as commercial. The city has been involved in this zoning matter with Frank Blair since incorporation, with original action being taken by Weber County in 1990. Disagreement on what the Weber County 1990 plan provided has become a matter of considerable contention, involving Frank Blair, James C. Blair, III, and the city. At the hearing the attorney for Frank Blair presented arguments for his position. Frank Blair and James Blair also addressed the council Comments and accusations were made by both sides, involving not only what the 1990 plan entailed, but the type of commercial ventures applicable, expansion of Mulligan's golf course to 18 holes, and past actions by Frank Blair. Ron Kusina spoke concerning the importance for industrial economy in the city, which would provide more jobs in the area, and produce higher tax revenue. With no other public comment, the hearing was closed and the council meeting reopened. After discussion, the council voted for the mayor to draft a proposed contract with Waste Management for garbage collection. The council tabled action on the zoning reversion of the Frank Blair property, giving the staff time to meet with the attorneys to seek a resolution. Each party has threatened to sue the city, if the city decides in favor of the other entity. Requests for RAMP funding for park improvements, freeway murals, trails and purchase of the Bowen property have been submitted. Scott Van Leeuwen advises that the old fire station has been sold, with building of the new one to begin this spring. Although the Planning Commission did not have a quorum present to make decisions at the January 2007 meeting, Artie Pearce, representing Plain City, addressed the commission about land owned by Glenn Taylor that lies in both cities. He recommended that Marriott-Slaterville allow the owner to annex into Plain City so it would be easier to provide services to residents of the development. There would be no way to enter the development from the Marriott-Slaterville side. City Administrator Bill Morris said the state does not provide for annexation under these circumstances, and suggested representatives from both cities could discuss a boundary adjustment as an alternative. Plain City Mayor Jay Jenkins discussed the concept of cooperation between the cities regarding roads that one city develops, so it will connect communities.
