Show . Marriott-Slaterville History August 2010 who said the developer of Quail Meadows subdivision, Mr. Holman, purchased the home and still owes him money for it. Councilman Kim Slater would like the weeds on the city's side of 1200 West controlled better, which he feels would encourage residents to keep their yard nicer. President Dennis Ilium said it was sprayed on the east side of the road from the nature center to the fair grounds. A proposed ordinance has been prepared by a committee of all cities and the county who seek to coordinate a cooperative plan for the establishment of trails and pathways throughout the county. Randy Phipps represented our city on the committee. It is the intent of this ordinance element of the city's general plan to promote, plan and protect non- motorized public trails and pathways, and to maintain and enhance the local beauty, atmosphere, rural lifestyle, outdoor recreational opportunities and sense of community. In conjunction with Weber County and other municipalities, the city has prepared trail and pathway plans and policies, identified potential future trail and pathway locations, and identified trail and pathway access points. Councilman Slater asked about the construction of trails on private property. Mr. Morris said trails will be built as development occurs, or the landowner is in agreement, as eminent domain does not apply for trails under current law. In answer to Mr. VanLeeuwen's question, Mr. Morris said that trails are funded with impact fees. Developers can construct them as was done at the charter school, and is proposed at the Slaterville Commercial Subdivision, as it counts toward their landscaping requirement. Mr. Hodson would like the pedestrian bridge installed over the river on 17* Street. Mr. Morris said the city will work on that after 400 North reconstruction is completed. Ordinance 2010-5 for the adoption of the County Cooperative Pathways Master Plan as an Element of the General Plan, was passed, with all approving it. The utility companies have not completed their work on the 400 North road project, which is behind in time. It is scheduled to be completed by November 15, 2010. Mr. Morris met with Jerry Goodspeed, Utah Extension Service, and Lynette Deru, concerning the 1-15 detention ponds on 12*h Street. They are working on obtaining trees which will absorb the water, and plants that will grow and look better in the basins. Mr. Hodson would like the light at the freeway off-ramp at 12*i Street to stay green longer to let more traffic through. Staff will request UDOT to look at it. Mr. Morris gave a report on the Independence Day celebration. President Ilium said using the warmer to keep hamburgers and hot dogs warm, made cooking easier. He thanked the Sheriffs deputies for their help in serving the food. Mayor Keith Butler said it cost the city $709.61 for the celebration, which he felt was a great success. Mayor Butler announced the WACOG dinner to be held on September 9, 2010, during a Raptors baseball game. The cost for a box seat and buffet dinner will be $20.00 per person. He will advise WACOG of anyone wishing to attend. Mr. Morris said the city is working with the Sewer District to help pay for the resurfacing of Pioneer Road between S.F. 126 and 2800 West. It is needed as a result of the impact of the Sewer District reconstruction project. 145 |
