Marriott-Slaterville City History September 2010 The September 2010 issue of The Pioneer Post informed us that the Slaterville Park was severely vandalized the last week of August. Surveillance shows several cars driving onto the park, crushing the irrigation headgate and damaging the grass soccer field. The new bowery was spray painted. CSI is investigating the vandalism. About mid-October, all city parks will be shut down for the season and winterized. The Slaterville Park will be open until after Halloween. Volunteers and others who have worked on, used, and loved our city parks were thanked. Trunk-or-Treat w\\\ be held at the Slaterville Park on Saturday, October 30. Set-up starts at 5:30 p.m. with treats starting at 6:00 p.m. Hot dogs, donuts and hot chocolate will be available. Bring a carved pumpkin, wear a costume, and decorate your car. Prizes will be given. DeAnn Hufstettler is again in charge of the city sponsored event. Work on the reconstruction of 400 North has been plagued with utility problems due to the many underground utilities in the road. This makes the project currently one month behind schedule, with the completion now extended to mid-November. Landscaping and sidewalk construction may be delayed until 2011. More traffic delays occurred with the opening of school. All businesses on 400 North are still open. City Administrator Bill Morris said there have been a few other problems on the reconstruction, one of which occurred when a person drove through newly poured concrete at the intersection. Also the detention basin was dug too deep and is into groundwater. Otherwise, the rest of the project is going well. At the September 16, 2010, City Council Meeting, Chris Breinholt, City Engineer with Jones & Associates, presented a traffic study on road capacity concerning pavement and shoulder width. The study by his office, follows ASHTO safety standards. It showed each home in the city contributed an estimated 9.7 trips per day. No traffic coming from outside the city was considered. The result shows the roads in the city are not wide enough to accommodate future development. Pioneer Road is the biggest problem. Most roads in the city are rural roads, and need to be improved as development occurs. President Dennis Ilium requested that the study be updated to include pass through traffic also. The situation needs addressing further. Mr. Cory Combe has requested the amendment of the Zoning Map from Manufacturing (M) to Agriculture (A-1) for one residential lot at 828 West 1700 South. Mr. Combe could not attend the meeting, but he told staff he would like to sell the old Phil Rufrano's house to his current renter. The property is zoned manufacturing which does not include residential use. He requested the zoning be changed to agriculture so that he can subdivide and sell the house for residential use. This would be consistent with the General Plan. Questions from the council were answered by staff. Ordinance 2010- 06, amending the zoning map as outlined above and in the application, was approved unanimously by the council. Business at Mulligans Golf Course has been seriously impacted by the reconstruction of 400 North. Both the city and Boyer Company have overpaid the necessary match on the project, so there will be a refund. City Administrator Bill Morris said the city has negotiated with Boyer for the city to receive 147
