Reports: UFA- Capt. Fernando Rivero reported no major calls. We discussed preparation for a Wildland Fire Clinic at Olympus Hills or Churchill JH 10 am-1 pm on April 23. Fernando will work with Laura Crapo on a Newsletter article. He will prepare a neighborhood map with ‘Red Zones’ for fire hazard. Ken Smith will work with Ken Stoker, Emergency Coordinator, on publicity. UPD- Det. Paul Peterson introduced the new Sergeant Brent Davis. Crime data was not available, but Det. Peterson reported that a burglar was just arrested in the neighborhood. Issues with the house on Dianna Way have reduced after UPD discussed concerns with the occupants. Business: Adonis House Application: Jeff Miller with Planning reported that a Conditional Use Permit would be required for a Guest House of over 1200 sq. Ft. and the lot needs to be 0.5 acre; the combined lot would be 0.75 acre. The representative for the applicant Wendell Alcorn reported that they had no new information concerning the utility easement. We decided that there was no reason to change our previous recommendation for denial of the permit. Mountain Accord Federal Designation Legislation: John Knoblock reviewed the present status of the proposed Federal Designation name and boundary and the Grandeur Peak Wilderness boundary. The name of the designation has not been settled, some changes concerning recreation wording have not been completed and there appears to be an error in the wilderness boundary mapping at Log Haven. Pasu made a motion, seconded by Kumar, to not support the Federal Designation Legislation until the issues are all resolved. Motion passed unanimously. Millcreek Transition Committee: Jeff Silvestrini discussed a proposal to form a committee to ensure that County projects in Millcreek move forward, come up with program ideas for the new ---PAGE BREAK--- City Council, and educate candidates for assuming future potential City office. John made a motion to approve, seconded by Kumar. Motion passed unanimously. Town Center Plan for 23rd East: This is still a concept and SLCo is hesitant to move forward with zoning changes and planning. Jeff would like to see a draft zoning ordinance and we agreed that this should move forward. Jeff will write a letter of recommendation to continue work and include Alison Ware of Economic Development. Grandeur Peak Parking Update: Jemina met with SLCo officials who did a parking study that found there is inadequate parking. There are five options that we will discuss at our next meeting. These include bathroom facilities, expanding the lot to the north and restriping the lot. Meeting Adjourned at 9:00 pm. Minutes recorded and submitted by John Knoblock.
