MILLCREEK. The city offices often receive phone calls from residents who would like to report a problem or concern that they have noticed. We appreciate our residents who keep their eyes open and let us know when there are concerns, particularly related to safety issues such as a stop sign that has been knocked over or a big pothole that has developed in a road. The main resource our city utilizes to keep track of resident concerns is our Report a Concern form. Besides clicking that link, another way to get to the form is to go to the main page of the Millcreek website, scroll down, and click on the ---PAGE BREAK--- square button that says "Report a Concern" (as shown in the picture above). The Report a Concern button will take you to a page that has emergency numbers and a checkmark icon on the left that will take you the form. There you can enter information about the concern and upload any photos or documents you might have. Residents can use the Report a Concern form to report a variety of different concerns within the city. This includes issues pertaining to: Abandoned Structures Bikes Business Licensing Code Compliance (unkempt properties) Crosswalks Illicit Discharge Parking Pavement Permits Potholes Sidewalk, Curb and/or Gutter Sign Repair Snow Removal Storm Drains Street Lighting Traffic Calming Trees and any other concern not seen on this list If a concern is regarding a water line break, power outage, or other utility emergency, you can contact your utility provider directly. The best place to report a concern that will involve the police is UPD Dispatch at [PHONE REDACTED]. Millcreek contracts with Salt Lake County for public works services, and in the case of roadway safety emergencies after hours, residents can call Salt Lake County Operations at [PHONE REDACTED]. For smaller potholes or asphalt that is deteriorating, a notice to the city is helpful in order for us to get the problem on a list of repairs that is kept for this type of concern. CLICK HERE FOR AFTER-HOURS EMERGENCY CONTACT INFO A code compliance report made through the website goes directly into our system and is reviewed by a code officer. There are some issues that may ---PAGE BREAK--- not be resolved immediately, so we appreciate patience as our code officers work through the proper steps required by law, including notifying the parties involved and providing an allowance of time to resolve the issue. We appreciate the patience of residents while we work through our long list of repairs. This year in particular, potholes seem to have cropped up everywhere after the difficult winter and crews are working hard with the fixes. The phone number at the city offices is [PHONE REDACTED] and office hours are Monday-Friday, 8 AM - 5 PM. Thanks to all our residents who keep their eyes on our neighborhoods and help us by letting us know about these problems. Porsche Dealership Potentially Coming to Millcreek MILLCREEK. A Porsche dealership is exploring the possibility of relocating their Salt Lake City location to 4074 S Wasatch Blvd. This is directly to the west of the Olympus Hills Shopping Center, on the west side of Wasatch. The dealership recently approached the city about a potential rezone. At this time, no application has been filed with Millcreek. However, at the request of ---PAGE BREAK--- city staff, the dealership will be holding a neighborhood meeting on Monday, July 10 at 5 pm at the Olympus Hills Shopping Center office building at approximately 3536 East Jupiter Drive. Enter the shopping center at its northeast entrance off of Jupiter. While city staff will be present to observe, the meeting is being held by the dealership. The dealership has indicated that intends to acquire the entire six acres. It would utilize approximately four acres on the southern portion of the property for the dealership facility. In a future phase, the remaining two acres would be a mixed-use development with a public plaza. Millcreek staff has shared with the dealership examples of successful mixed- use centers in our region that incorporate quality public spaces and mixed-use along with some automobile-oriented uses, such as the Holladay Town Center or Newpark at Kimball Junction. Ultimately, the City Council will approve or deny a rezone application after receiving community input and recommendations from city staff, the Mount Olympus Community Council, and the Planning Commission. A staff recommendation will consider traffic impacts, signage and lighting, building ---PAGE BREAK--- design, uses, an opportunity for public space, and the potential for an improved 1,500 foot frontage along Wasatch Boulevard to provide a better and safer experience for cyclists and pedestrians. Building height would be limited to 35 feet, only seven feet taller than what is allowed for a single family house. If the developer files an application, staff will follow the requirements for noticing established in city codes, including posting notice on the property and mailing property owners within 600 feet of the applicant’s property one week prior to the Community Council meeting. The city has received a number of informal inquiries for uses on the site over the past several years, ranging from multifamily rental housing, senior housing, tall office buildings, and potential public infrastructure uses similar to the concrete batch plant that temporarily occupied the site a decade ago. Given existing traffic along Wasatch Boulevard, staff has encouraged potential developers to consider uses that provide a good community or economic development impact without generating a lot of traffic. Compared to other uses suggested in the past, including multifamily, office, drive-through restaurants, movie theaters, critical infrastructure, or even a regional park with athletic facilities, the traffic generated by a high-end automobile dealership would be relatively low. Currently, the land is privately owned. Any private landowner has the right to request a public process to consider a rezone. The Porsche dealership is beginning that process with its informal neighborhood meeting this coming Monday. Staff welcomes community input on this question, and will continue to encourage a meaningful development for the vacant parcel that provides the community something of value in the form of quality community spaces, an improved Wasatch Boulevard streetscape, and attractive buildings and uses.

The first week of surplus food donation was very successful. The generous box of bounty pictured above was collected and delivered to the Hal Schulz Community Action Center, which is one of our partner agencies who serve those in need. If you are one of Millcreek's many residents who nurture a backyard vegetable garden but find your family just can't keep up with the bounty, you may deliver your surplus produce to the Millcreek collection site of your choice, knowing that the food you have grown will feed those in need. All produce—fruit, or vegetable—is welcome. You don’t have to donate a lot, and you don’t have to donate every week. There are nine different collection sites in Millcreek. To find the collection site closest to you, and the day on which each site is operational for collection, check out the map HERE. Collection sites will be open on either Monday or Wednesday (depending on the collection site), and the donated produce will be picked up on Tuesday or Thursday and taken to Millcreek organizations in need.
