E. Presentation on the Recreational Element of the Ogden Valley General Plan:

Steve Clarke, Stake Holders Committee (Committee), noted that Bio-West had been preparing an amendment to the Ogden Valley General Plan (Plan) relating to the recreational element. During this process over the past year, Bio-West took input from the Committee, a group of about 15-20 members. The Plan is currently being reviewed by the Planning Commission. The Committee had met and concluded it would be wise to continue to offer its services and perhaps to expand its membership to include other people. He believed all members of the original Committee elected to continue in this new committee.

Mr. Clarke expressed concern that, with the current resource constraints, implementation of the (aggressive) Plan could take many years during which time much of its potential value could be lost. The goal of the Committee is to work in tandem with County Planning staff and the County Commission. The Committee suggested that the Planning Commission provide a liaison to work with the Committee. The objectives of the Committee include providing research and data, help in the search for funding that may be required, help develop ordinances, assist in the implementation of the recreation issues, etc. Commissioner Cain noted that the County Commission had appointed the Committee. She strongly suggested having a method to take public input and that the Committee not supplant the Planning Commission. Additionally, that this implementation be a process driven by Planning staff. She felt that the county was reviewing this plan carefully and taking positive steps to bring issues before the people and help them understand its full impact. Mr. Clarke said that the Committee saw itself in a supportive position.

Commissioner Cain moved to reappoint Martha Richards and Karen Leonardi to the Weber County Library Board of Directors; Commissioner Dearden seconded, all voting aye.

3. Amendment to the Weber County Travel Expense Reimbursement Policy

6. Surplus property within Land Serial #012-128-0028 owned by L.P. and Lily V. Jones

Gary Laird, County Operations Director, showed an area map and requested declaring this property surplus. This is for an approximately six inch wide parcel running the length of the lot. Mr. Laird said that the County Surveyor's Office reviewed this item and believed it could have resulted from a surveying error and their recommendation was to deed it to Mr. Jones without compensation because it would be more costly to survey then the property was worth.
Commissioner Cain moved to declare surplus this property within Land Serial #012-128-0028 owned by L.P. and Lily V. Jones; Commissioner Dearden seconded, all voting aye.

7. Approval of a lot line adjustment between Lots 53 &54 of Causey Estates Subdivision

Kevin Hamilton, County Planning Department, explained that a lot line adjustment allowed two adjoining property owners in a subdivision to amend their lot line. In this case, a cabin was built across the property line and the owners are adjusting that line to allow for the cabin to be on their property and property is being given to the other owners for compensation. The size of the lots does not change. Mr. Hamilton addressed Commissioner Cain's question regarding agreement by the parties on this issue.
Commissioner Dearden moved to approve a lot line adjustment between lots 53 and 54 of Causey Estates Subdivision; Commissioner Cain seconded, all voting aye.

2. Public hearing on final approval of Wolf Creek Village Condominiums Phase 1 Amended

Kevin Hamilton, County Planning Department, stated that Wolf Creek Village Condominiums Phase 1 was an existing time share condominium in the Wolf Creek area of Weber County. The amendment consists of taking an area currently in the common area and making it a limited common area to place a check in/check out office on the southeast corner of the building. Mr. Hamilton indicated that no one had spoken against this item at the Planning Commission meeting. He addressed Commissioner Cain's question regarding non-conformance stating that it related to the setback from Wolf Creek Drive. Buildings in that area on a regular road would be allowed to sit 30 feet back. Under the General Plan, Wolf Creek Drive is to become a wider road and at such time this property would not meet the setback requirement, however, the existing building does meet the requirement. Chair Bischoff invited public comments and none were offered.

3. Public hearing to amend Chapter 32 B, the Sign Ordinance for Weber County, by including the Manufacturing MV-1 Zone as a Zoning District that has allowable signs.

Kevin Hamilton, County Planning Department, stated that when the Sign Ordinance was created for the Ogden Valley they inadvertently left out the MV-1 Zone to have permitted signs. This amendment allows the same signs in the MV-1 Zone that are permitted in the CV-1 and CV-2 Zones, which accommodates the existing businesses in the small manufacturing area.
