Daniel (planning staff) said staff and the planning commission redesigned an original vicinity plan that showed multiple through streets and cul-de-sacs; the planning commission forwarded a unanimous recommendation in December 2023 and the council approved the revised vicinity plan in February 2024. After that adoption, a developer submitted and received subdivision approval that included two-thirds of the new road on their parcel.

Daniel said a neighbor later filed an appeal to the original plan but withdrew it. The neighbor then applied to amend the adopted vicinity plan to remove the road segment adjacent to their property. Staff told the council the key legal and practical constraint is that the approved subdivision created a vested application: the developer who obtained plat approval has the right to build the two-thirds portion of the road when the subdivision proceeds. \"That road is vested,\" Daniel said; \"we are not requiring them to build the remaining third now unless they subdivide their property.\"

Staff clarified several misconceptions raised by residents: the city will not require the property owner to construct the full road solely for building an accessory structure, and staff have not required a third-party engineer for the vicinity-plan-level change. Public Works Director Neil said the developer would be required to construct a temporary turnaround (hammerhead) at the end of the incomplete segment and that the constructed portion would include a sidewalk on the developing side, an asphalt roadway and a one-foot asphalt berm on the downward side to preserve drainage.

Council members asked whether a two-thirds road would provide sufficient access for public safety and how utilities and grades would be handled later in the plat and site-plan phases. Staff said detailed grading, drainage and utility coordination occur at the plat and site-plan stages and that the vicinity plan establishes general connectivity; the council can amend the vicinity plan but doing so would not negate the developer's vested rights under the approved plat.

No formal action was taken during the work session; staff said the item will be heard again during the public hearing portion of a future meeting and that they would present the procedural history and options to the council at that time.

Parade coordinator Lisa said she supports a clear, citywide notice next year that would prohibit leaving chairs or blankets in the public right-of-way until a specified time before the parade. \"My honest opinion is we need to put something out for next year that just says you cannot be out. No chairs, not blanket across the board. Nothing out until a certain time,\" Lisa said.

Staff and council members described a range of practices in nearby cities. City Staff member Eric said Provo and other nearby cities restrict how early items may be placed and deploy marshals or patrols on parade day to keep the pedestrian route clear; others have no formal rules and rely on informal norms. Staff recommended that the city's priority be to keep sidewalks and the road clear and to ensure ADA access and public-safety vehicle access.

Council members expressed concern about enforcement logistics, including identifying owners of unattended items and the potential need to collect or remove large numbers of chairs. Mayor and staff noted that many homeowners maintain the park strip (the narrow area between the sidewalk and curb) and that disputes can arise when others place items there days in advance. Staff offered to draft a proposal specific to Pleasant Grove that would define allowable times and locations for placing items in the public right-of-way and identify enforcement or notice approaches.

Council gave staff direction to prepare a draft policy for future consideration and public input. No ordinance was introduced or adopted during the session. Staff said they would likely begin with outreach and a public-notice approach and present options to the council for approval.

The committee representative said the group spent roughly $5,000 this spring on temporary repairs and has decided to pursue a larger replacement project using repurposed aluminum bleacher sections bought used and brought to the rodeo grounds. \"They are very past their time and ready for some love and attention,\" the committee representative said, describing the current stands as deteriorated.

The committee presented a concept plan that would remove two existing stand sections that \"cannot be modified to get into compliance,\" replace them with new aluminum seating in other sections, and alter riser/run dimensions from the current roughly 8-inch rise and 22-inch run to a 12-inch rise and 30-inch run to improve sightlines and accessibility. The committee said the goal is to increase seating from about 6,500 to roughly 8,500, but that the final number is not yet set.

City Administrator Scott told the council the city owns the rodeo grounds and staff have been discussing an amendment to the existing agreement with the Strawberry Days Committee so the rodeo committee can capture rental revenue for events if they pay for the seating upgrades. \"We do own the rodeo grounds,\" Scott said, adding that the arrangement under discussion would let the committee recoup part of its investment through venue rentals.

Committee members said most of the work can be done without a building permit, though some remodel elements will require submitting plans to the building department. They also said they have received two semi loads of repurposed aluminum seating already and that contractors plan to begin teardown early next week; the committee's contractor estimated a 6-to-8-month completion window but said the schedule could slip.

On operations and costs, the committee said it is funding the project and is seeking donations and sponsorships to help cover expenses. The committee also announced a ticket-price adjustment already in effect: adult tickets will be $25 across the board, with Wednesday remaining the designated kids' night.

The presentation noted future phases could include video infrastructure, enclosed box seating, and other venue upgrades, but the committee emphasized that the current phase is focused on seating replacement. The city indicated staff will coordinate plan review and address parking and other operational issues as the committee advances the project.

No formal council action was taken at the work session; the presentation was informational and council members encouraged the group to continue coordinating with staff on permits, parking and the proposed agreement to allow the committee to retain rental revenues.
