City Council Recap!
Heyo my peeps! How is everyone doing?? A few of these items have already been addressed so I will try to keep this short and sweet. In hopes to simplify things, I will post about new business and reports tomorrow.
Davis County Sheriff's Office: Every quarter our favoirte DSCO sheriff Chris Pope comes to report to the council the latest going-ons and stats for SWC. If you haven't had a chance to listen in, I encourage you to do so. Lots of great information in terms of our public safety and all the things the officers our doing for our city. DSCO is reporting an average of 99 hours a week in our city, 52 daytime hours and 47 night time hours. We have only had 3 break-ins which is significantly less than in the past couple of years and hope it is because of the constant police presence on our streets. They have been instructed to be observing and be observed on our streets to lower crime and it appears to be working! It was reported the radar trailer is significantly helping the traffic on Old Maple Roads and most speeders on that street continue to be local traffic. Old Maples Roads will have road striping done soon to paint speed limits as well as stop sign lines as not coming to complete stop has been a problem at the intersection.
•South Weber Gateway Rezone (poll property west of Highmark): This rezone request included 8.85 acres to a residential R7 zone and 2.78 acres commercial highway zone. The concept plan attached to this rezone request included 63 townhomes and 6 commercial buildings, however the only action item was on the rezone. The concept plan will still need to go through preliminary and final approval through staff and the planning commission. This action item was passed with 3 council members in favor and 2 not. Each council member voiced their reasoning for the vote which you can listen to on the YouTube channel linked below.
•Stephens Property Rezone (corner of 475 E and Old Fort Road): This request was to rezone this property to all commercial highway. In the past this property has had a residential component to it, however, this time it was strictly commercial highway only. The council favored this rezone and as with the other property gave their reasonings for doing so before voting.
•Riverside Place Subdivision: This subdivision is located on the west end of town near the posse grounds and is phase 4 of the subdivision. It includes 13 lots. There was some discussion of the fencing that needs to be replaced adjacent to the Posse Grounds. This is also an area where we have gotten complaints of excessive trash and garbage. Staff was instructed to increase code enforcement in this area in that regard. The action item was approved unanimously.
•Pickleball court donations: Mayor Jo has been gathering donations for pickle ball courts in Canyon Meadows. Because of these funds there will be 8 total pickle ball courts (4 paid for by the city and 4 paid for by citizens). Donors will have plaques placed at the park for their donations. Mayor Jo showed 3 different types of plaques based on the donation amount, paid for by the donation fund. The parks and rec committee brought it to the council for their opinion. The council favored the plaques for the donors but wanted the total amount of donations, where the donation money was spent and the plaque costs and donation amounts as part of the public record so it was clear where donation funds were spent vs. city funds.
And that's a wrap! Stay tuned for tomorrow to review updates and reports from the mayor and council for further happenings going on in the city.
