A resident or speaker described paying about $3,000 previously to remove roots that damaged the sidewalk and raised concerns about power lines and an aging waterline under trees. “The last time I had it done, I spent about $3,000 a day to get the roots out,” the speaker said while describing the need to cut roots and potential conflicts with power lines.

Staff pointed to a specific property configuration where removing two trees could restore sight lines but would leave only two trees on an adjacent property. The speaker said the waterline is aging and suggested swapping the storm drain and waterline alignment so the waterline would be located where the trees are today.

Elsewhere in the meeting a staff comment referred to culvert upgrades, noting culverts that were once 40‑inch pipe are now “8 foot wide by 6 foot tall.” There was no recorded formal action in the provided transcript to approve tree removal or utility relocation; staff and council discussed options and trade‑offs and indicated additional study and coordination would be required before any work proceeds.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lindon City Council - July 7, 2025.

Staff explained that the same physical road can have multiple designations and therefore different applicable standards: “You can see that the same road is the same right away, but it has 3 different specifications,” a staff member said. The council noted that most collectors are already designated where active traffic calming such as speed bumps isn’t allowed, but alternatives exist.

Council members asked whether 800 North has a future arterial designation that would affect design standards and whether that designation, or participation with state agencies, explains the absence of immediate reclassification. The council did not take a formal vote during the discussion; staff will continue to review designations and allowable treatments with the relevant agencies.

The discussion highlights limitations on municipal choices for traffic calming on roads under different jurisdictional designations and the need to coordinate with state and regional agencies when pursuing certain traffic controls.","Council members discussed how different roadway designations and ownership affect traffic‑calming options on streets such as 800 North, noting some collector roads preclude speed bumps while chokers, striping and narrowing remain options.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6551917,"Council reviews resolution to join North Utah County Aquifer Council interlocal agreement",171,3989000,4160000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5322756-c2fac30f1f5e76bd50e1b35ec714ec3a&start=3989&end=4160","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5322756-c2fac30f1f5e76bd50e1b35ec714ec3a/thumbnail_3989000.jpg","/articles/6551917/Utah/Council-reviews-resolution-to-join-North-Utah-County-Aquifer-Council-interlocal-agreement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6551917-45bf490911592baf712198abf88dc708/orig.mp4?Expires=1771195663&Signature=ZdyYFW5S~0l4txb~UTB82kSHAUjJBV6nyxNHwwbni3mymxyp4tQfKb8uhcd6-wgbTQ2Xp0acrWS360ggySVtNWugw8uGJ~PplvSwFRMJ-5lcKhfSRDzq2Ty6KVM789GmeLRNui7G6XZQ~jnGoIVk1ambyTEu1ocqgxAD3Vt8yChApOLX8JeAHG5XBp2xpYgDNv~3eCy-XYrkhqegJBSsypibm2hu~w~2u--dXrb5nidDuLn43qrKpdlmttdlxZ6U3x2JfZ1xmmYSf4GrBV40I-RE3xt9-lNJO3gA6vHW5usMy0FlpCs31NK1tw5AUjtMoomHg92ZB8lQmZ4Hw-VWWw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lindon City Council discussed a resolution to join an interlocal agreement for the North Utah County Aquifer Council, an organization that conducts studies and recharge work in the American Fork Canyon area, including ponds used for secondary‑water irrigation recharge.

A staff explanation said the resolution would make the city an official participant and that the council would pay dues and participate in studies focused on recharge areas, noting the recharge work includes ponds and a gravel pit that is part of the recharge site. “This is actually doing 2 things. It's 1, it's approving our joining of this interlocal agreement for the North Utah County Aquifer Council,” a staff member said.

Staff described the council’s current informal participation and said the resolution formalizes the city’s role and contribution. The staff presentation said the program’s focus is currently raw‑water recharge rather than drinking‑water supply and that the city would pay a fee to support studies and participation.

Council members asked what the city missed by not being an official participant in earlier phases. Staff said historically Lindon had participated informally but is now making membership official and would be invited into ongoing study work. The transcript excerpts provided do not include a recorded vote on the resolution or a tally of dues; the council did not take a recorded roll‑call vote in the supplied text.","Council discussed a resolution to join an interlocal agreement for the North Utah County Aquifer Council focused on recharge studies and pond-based secondary water recharge; dues and scope were described but the transcript did not record a final vote.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6551922,"Council discusses shade, concrete repairs and bleachers at Pheasant Brook fields; grant planning underway",51,115000,166000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5322756-c2fac30f1f5e76bd50e1b35ec714ec3a&start=115&end=166","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5322756-c2fac30f1f5e76bd50e1b35ec714ec3a/thumbnail_115000.jpg","/articles/6551922/Utah/Council-discusses-shade-concrete-repairs-and-bleachers-at-Pheasant-Brook-fields-grant-planning-underway","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6551922-ba337e165f63d2d6f06c00be0f76788f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771195663&Signature=mR-9S~8CLaX4qosnDFGJJycFuYHhDwJYsaWcrFDe8JEQCz-H1eZGThc-X3qx~DTywwWvVOzTge831CNyn3rI8ZH0xT-I~HjV9Ek3RGmjZhKkIzSamgzeIpOaFhB9gPKNEX2TnQa7HF~VLWRxOQ9-94QOJodcHSSqTK2oiuLzNUjfRCj9gL29aYnKG8ORaUAUFAuAAG4-cAHdDBl8YQSj45~yAacejwPywEP0wLqUPxYAkg7hwhfC~BL3JJejDKcbU~dk3nBmgZIdinPb14H59j7Z-xj9ku2Cmm8VseXHv~F~ChXCdm77l0gevrtVH4pevUaXqPvvx1dSbSF8u~BBFw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lindon City staff and council members discussed improvements at Pheasant Brook ballfields, including adding shade structures, replacing broken concrete, repairing footings and replacing bleachers.

A council member said there is “just no shade to be found” during afternoon games and noted youth games are played in the heat; a staff speaker said trees and shade structures are on the list and that staff aims to assemble a grant package next fall to fund shading and concrete work. “We’re trying to put together, if we could put a grant package together probably next this fall to try to get that shaded and the concrete redone,” staff said.

Council members raised parking as a potential constraint for additional amenities. Staff also noted ongoing maintenance needs, saying some areas have multiple levels of broken concrete and need footing repairs before new shade structures or bleachers are installed.

City staff said previous maintenance work and rental of the field have influenced planning for upgrades. The council did not take a formal vote on funding during the discussion; staff indicated the next step would be to pursue grant opportunities and bring a funding proposal back to the council for approval.","City staff and council discussed shade structures, trees, concrete repairs and bleacher improvements at Pheasant Brook ballfields and said a grant package is planned for next fall.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6551926,"Council considers ordinance language change to replace “single‑family” with “dwellings”",245,1103000,1348000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5322756-c2fac30f1f5e76bd50e1b35ec714ec3a&start=1103&end=1348","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5322756-c2fac30f1f5e76bd50e1b35ec714ec3a/thumbnail_1103000.jpg","/articles/6551926/Utah/Council-considers-ordinance-language-change-to-replace-singlefamily-with-dwellings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6551926-ab6ded69cf39748df8b86ed21c3bb3e9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771195663&Signature=O0gZUbGntal0hkmI01348a4TA6FXouX2aHHp7pn80LArc5QPPM~QsMvq7KjlFk1dzh8opUITy5XBVmynh1yPUsL9eIH~ATh56OFDtsxyTXawVzzcJmX0h0JgCdSqHVpFcFebGnr7fJWPsDHyFfn-ARjrdy6dLdqP6nmTtqfmc4uwNzazH6LeApCrq7QTDiU4EtrgkAUnCb3nhBhFeaTBF6dS6vCPd-NPtL0grtoXt3Fg3l3-N3dg2JpZ1okdEom5u~NeEYjCEmp23Us~ekI2r0Mr7ZIa6O0o-E1cAVbUaux2cNwNdpFfQmp7KgaLtyPHErJHTqMw4j7BScgL4~NBDQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lindon City Council held a public hearing and discussed a wording correction to Ordinance 2025‑8‑O that replaces the phrase “single‑family dwellings” with “dwellings.” Council member White moved to close the public hearing and later moved to approve the ordinance with the change; Council member Broadder seconded the motion.

City staff member Britney told the council she had corrected the ordinance text to read “dwellings” in the official copy held by staff, noting she had updated the staff report but not the ordinance draft initially: “I corrected that, and the official version is now with Britney, and it just says dwellings instead of single family dwellings,” she said.

The change arose after questions about whether the ordinance should allow improvements such as porches on duplexes and other non‑single‑family dwellings. During discussion, a speaker asked about prevailing practice in other cities and whether the expanded allowance could create inconsistencies; council members and staff described setbacks and neighborhood consistency as reasons jurisdictions regulate porch projections and similar features.

The public hearing was closed by motion, and a separate motion was made to approve Ordinance 2025‑8‑O with the language change. The transcript provided does not include the roll call or final vote on the ordinance.

Council members and staff flagged related implementation details — for example, how setback percentages are applied — but the hearing record provided does not show additional substantive amendments beyond the wording correction.

If the council votes on the ordinance at a later point or the city posts the final ordinance, the finalized text and vote tally will be available in the council’s official minutes or ordinance register.","During a public hearing, the council discussed and moved to approve Ordinance 2025‑8‑O with a staff-corrected wording change replacing “single‑family dwellings” with “dwellings”; a formal vote was not captured in the provided transcript.","actionData","errors"]
