Chair Zogmaister asked about deleting Section 8.6 (that if any legal action was brought by a party to this agreement, that party would be entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees from the other party) and Ms. Graham said that Coca Cola had not agreed to delete it. Monette Hurtado, Deputy County Attorney, stated that it was a standard clause in a contract and the County generally did not like to pay attorney’s fees on an agreement, however, she did not see a problem in approving this contract because the county knew what the cost would be.
Commissioner Dearden moved to Contract C2008-101 by/between Weber County and Swire Pacific Holding, Inc., dba Swire Coca Cola, USA for beverages sold at the Weber County Fairgrounds; Chair Zogmaister seconded, both voting aye.

4. Final approval of Ward Acres Subdivision Phase 3 Amendment No. 1 (5 Lots) located at approximately 3050 East 4100 North (Liberty)
Ben Hatfield, County Planning Department, stated that after recording the original Phase 3, it was realized that the previous plat needed to be amended due to a slope issue discovered during road construction for the cul-de-sac. The changes included shortening the cul-de-sac and adjusting the adjacent property lines accordingly. This leaves a better alignment for a future road to the east connecting to the highway. Mr. Hatfield stated that this subdivision met all the requirements of the AV-3 Zone and the Planning Commission had unanimously recommended approval on 9/25/2007. All existing agreements with the first subdivision would revert upon vacation and recording of this amendment and continue to be in effect.

5. Final approval of Wolf Creek Golf Course Areas 1, 2, 3 and Wolf Creek Town Homes Area located at approximately 3160 N. 5100 E.
Sean Wilkinson, County Planning Department, stated that the golf course areas and the Wolf Creek town home area were located next to the proposed future Eagles Landing Subdivision phases. The reason for subdividing the parcels at this time was to separate ownership and boundaries of the golf course from the remaining phases of Eagles Landing. The golf course areas would be approved only for development of the golf course and the town home area would not be approved for residential development at this time. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended final approval of Wolf Creek golf course areas 1, 2 and 3 and the Wolf Creek town home area on 9/25/2007.
Mr. Wilkinson said that he had been working closely with the County Surveyor because some minor changes needed to be made on the plat. The Surveyor was working with the petitioner and those changes would be made very soon. Commissioner Dearden asked about proceeding with this item today and Mr. Wilkinson said that the changes were so minor, and the County Surveyor, who had to sign the plat before recording, did not have a problem with the process.
Commissioner Dearden moved to grant final approval of Wolf Creek Golf Course areas 1, 2, 3 and the Wolf Creek town homes area located at approximately 3160 N. 5100 E.; Chair Zogmaister seconded, both voting aye.
