WATER SERVICE DISCUSSION – ROYAL STEWART SUBDIVISION

 

Bob West is seeking Council approval for out-of-city water service for a subdivision development named Royal Stewart Subdivision owned by Roger Brockbank.  The developers are proposing installing a 8” water line.  This line will facilitate completion of a water line that will make a loop of the water line in the Cove area.  The developers were asked if there were water shares on this property and were told they have 60 shares for these 59 acres.  Council asked if they were willing to surrender some of those shares to help mitigate the decrease of available culinary water.  The developers stated that they planned to use these shares for outside water use in the development which would take care of Councils concerns of using culinary water.  It was stated that this use would not need the entire 60 water shares and a request was made that 10-12 shares be surrendered to the city.  After discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Vaun Ryan to approve the request to furnish water for this development after a discussion has taken place between City Manager Brad Hancock and the owners to finalize the details for surrendering a number of water shares, the value of which will go toward the cost of purchasing water connections for this development.  Motion seconded by Councilman Dave Woolstenhulme.  Motion seconded unanimously.  Council discussed making sure the remaining irrigation shares owned by the developer are officially dedicated to the developed lots for secondary water.

 

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND ANNEXATION DISCUSSION

 

Bob West appeared before Council to discuss his desire to annex property into Roosevelt City limits.  He would like to develop this property which is located on the northern border of Roosevelt City.  Bob would like to inform Council of his desires so they will be know what he plans to do.  The first steps will be to submit a formal request to annex with the City Recorder and at the same time notify Duchesne County of his plans, after which he will make an appointment with Planning and Zoning for their review and approval of his request.

 

ANIMAL SHELTER DISCUSSION

 

A meeting has been scheduled with the Duchesne County Commissioners in Duchesne to discuss construction of an animal shelter in Roosevelt and animal control responsibilities.  City Manager Brad Hancock reported that Dr. Dennis will no longer be responsible for the stray animal in Roosevelt City.  Roosevelt City has hired an individual to take care of these animals and instead of it taking two hours per day it has been taking four hours per day to care for the animals.  The workload has increased due to receiving animals from the Ballard area as well as Duchesne County outside of city limits.  Research has shown that counties have taken the lead in animal control responsibilities in other areas.  The goal of the meeting will be to try to organize a tour for the Commissioners to let them see how other counties are handling their animal control needs.

 

ORDINANCE NO. 2007-332 SUBDIVISION SAFETY (LIGHTS & SIGNS)

 

Council reviewed Ordinance No. 2007-332, an ordinance which outlines the lighting and signs that will be required within a subdivision development.  This ordinance needs to be scheduled for a public hearing.  After review and discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Lane Yack to authorize advertising for a public hearing. Motion seconded by Councilman Guy Coleman.  Motion carried unanimously.  The public hearing will be scheduled for the Council meeting of February 13, 2007.

 

BUILDING PERMIT REPORT

 

Council reviewed a report on the building permits issued by Roosevelt City in 2006.  Council expressed concern that fees collected may not be adequate to cover the costs of issuing these permits and have asked that the process of establishing fees be reviewed and changed if appropriate.  Planning and Zoning Director Roger Eschler will bring his recommendations to Council in the near future.

 

COUNCIL REPORTS

 

Lane Yack reported that Youth City Council will be looking for service projects and would like to consider installing a bench on the walking/biking path.  Lane also expressed concern with the condition of the streets and would like to see some improvement.

Vaun Ryan reported that he had walked to new walking/biking path and was interested in viewing the future plans for the park property.

Guy Coleman reported on the latest Planning and Zoning meeting.  Guy also discussed the flowers on Main Street and received permission to talk with Allred’s Yard and Garden about growing the flowers in a greenhouse several weeks prior to placing them on Main Street.

Dave Woolstenhulme stated that the Golf Committee met yesterday and the decision was made to promote Cole Hancock to Golf Course Greens Superintendent.

Robert Yack asked if there was any information on the skate park.  Robert also reported that a stop sign by Dr. Evans office needs to be repaired.
