Jensen said the developer's submitted plan (not yet approved) calls for a single building with 14 residential units and rear-access garages. He said that configuration, with garages and drive access behind the units adjacent to his fence, would produce traffic and noise along his property line and is unlikely to attract young families. \"I would request that they move the garages to the front similar to all the other town homes in the area,\" Jensen said, adding that shifting garage placement would allow small rear yards or patios and likely reduce the total number of units on the lot.

The nut graf: The property was rezoned RM-15; Jensen said the zoning's listed medium-density range (three to five units per acre) and that the developer's plan appears denser. City staff explained that zoning determines density limits and that planning and engineering review will consider driveway access, parking and safety.

City staff invited Jensen to provide written comments and said planning staff will incorporate public input into the technical review. The council's mayor pro tem said staff would forward Jensen's remarks to the city planner, Jake, and noted the file now contains a complete application so staff can share plans and begin review with department heads. Staff also noted design constraints for corner lots and that local standards may limit the number and placement of driveways or require off-street parking.

Jensen asked whether the two lots shown on the plat could allow a building to cross a property line; staff indicated lot-line adjustments and further design work may be part of the review. He also requested the developer execute and maintain a strong landscaping plan and asked the city to require early recording of CC&Rs and reserve planning to ensure long-term maintenance.

The city did not take formal action on the project at the Sept. 9 council meeting. Staff said the developer and planning staff will continue the review process and that Jensen could follow up directly with planning staff for status updates.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Morgan City Council","oneSentenceSummary","A Morgan City resident asked the council to seek design changes to a proposed RM-15 development next to his home, saying a single 14-unit building with rear garages would reduce privacy and attract renters rather than families.","taxTitle","Morgan, Morgan County, Utah","taxId",7552,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6505380,"Morgan City Council approves development agreement with Wasatch West and Cloverland Investment LLC",1693,1105000,2798000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5742601-6e459e41a8e7380da6fb638a0ea83843&start=1105&end=2798","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5742601-6e459e41a8e7380da6fb638a0ea83843/thumbnail_1105000.jpg","/articles/6505380/Morgan/Morgan-County/Utah/Morgan-City-Council-approves-development-agreement-with-Wasatch-West-and-Cloverland-Investment-LLC","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6505380-c9cd85e60688eab820effaed907bd5d1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771010231&Signature=FhwGiCcOO1giD~RXRschkLh4XYuRFfW7YcBPVvYcvgfj0O1uJLMaH9xsY13jbaEg~jP00KNu4t5EZ4AChtiNQsd2K6bIKseBIkXYzrrWLCvtj4yR7X9riUvXHgsItTe-gxE1Q0XO-4nxJ-jpsQGYrqrNc6JBgLwGtjN9EfRwjFlqL~mjrGGEER44diMgcv-lIRhKJpb4y2fxV0Qh9eYupZII8phz3CxoAjrJG5d3env39-1rImraB~dejxJAIAimjJLX12HaEh5BPoMPweIHXv5qe3-dOtYyO2RxEt3qkJcR~EvsFzQm9wlJmIo381-lf3ab8kBP~thnvqjg2k9EbA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Morgan City Council on Sept. 9 adopted Resolution 25-23 approving a development agreement between Morgan City and Wasatch West and Cloverland Investment LLC, council members said.

The agreement formalizes commitments tied to an already-approved subdivision and addresses landscaping and trail easement requirements that the city can no longer secure through municipal bonding after a recent change in state law, Gary Crane, the city's legal counsel, said. \"This is a subdivision. This is regarding a subdivision that has already been approved,\" Crane said, explaining the agreement's purpose and the effect of the legislative change.

The nut graf: City staff and the developer negotiated terms intended to preserve the city's ability to require landscaping and to secure a 20-foot-wide easement in portions of the subdivision for a future trail system. Those elements would be enforced through the development agreement rather than municipal bonds, which Crane said state legislation now limits.

City staff told the council the engineering review is complete and that the developer has accepted most of the terms under negotiation. Crane said the developer also agreed to provide the city a 20-foot-wide easement along substantial portions of the subdivision for a future trail, and that the city would pursue grant funding for trail construction. \"We want to make sure those were memorialized in an agreement,\" Crane said.

Council members reviewed the draft and asked staff to correct minor drafting inconsistencies in the resolution and agreement, including the agreement name and internal references. Staff asked for authority to finish minor, city-advantage edits without returning the document to council; council members said major changes should be returned for approval.

Council discussed enforcement tools if homeowners association covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) later conflict with the city's requirements. Crane summarized the distinction: CC&Rs are private agreements among property owners, and \"the controlling element is the city's ordinance or its development agreement.\" He said the city can enforce its ordinances and the development agreement but generally cannot enforce private CC&Rs.

Motion and vote: Council member Dave Alexander moved to approve Resolution 25-23, seconded by Jeffrey Richins. The roll call was unanimous: five ayes, the mayor pro tem said; the motion carried.

The council asked staff to incorporate the minor edits discussed at the meeting before final execution and to return any major revisions for council review. Staff said they would continue negotiations and finalize the agreement with the developer.","Morgan City Council voted unanimously to adopt Resolution 25-23, approving a development agreement with Wasatch West and Cloverland Investment LLC that ties certain landscaping and trail easement commitments to subdivision approvals after state law removed municipal bonding authority for private improvements.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6505365,"City reviews stormwater agreement for new seminary building; agreement follows state-standard form",145,4151000,4296000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5742601-6e459e41a8e7380da6fb638a0ea83843&start=4151&end=4296","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5742601-6e459e41a8e7380da6fb638a0ea83843/thumbnail_4151000.jpg","/articles/6505365/Morgan/Morgan-County/Utah/City-reviews-stormwater-agreement-for-new-seminary-building-agreement-follows-state-standard-form","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6505365-697f0b25cf366752bf0dcbbdfdb629c8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771010231&Signature=BwDA8xJAZ1Z1XhoOw~GxmmZakxMpMhsAmhkXI6eSdMYWA1Mw3E8NU6uR~N-enW3DaigB8PQPu4vPGZw7NSa7PIgeGR~e59jo0sP01dmmbY-spKvQ5PryphC9TuPUebcCFFPcGJ6miJWOcAESCNXRx9APkJ2X3O7UCJGTgly0ZT8W2LMuhLOfKap~bhT6vPN9~S1AaSxRADBmkGhiJckO74Zh2-IYiJ9Kv1bboK9qT64I1xQAv5aSVK2JSdAo3EUMuGm9wSd6tnz0~secrLMpnr9hhNXapb6NtwhYiW0zh6tXUAhUvOEHxY9pbk~D6YBVUFy6QjNq9h2yITphUbhGBg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Morgan City staff briefed the council on a stormwater management agreement for a new seminary building being constructed where a school garage previously stood. The council discussed the technical approach and the agreement form at its Sept. 9 meeting.

According to City Manager Ty Bailey, the property's current stormwater system cannot service the new building's additional impervious surface, so the developer will contain stormwater on site using underground storage (plastic or concrete chambers), engineered to capture runoff and provide a controlled overflow to the city's drainage system in extreme events. \"They're gonna have to contain it underground on their own property,\" Bailey said, describing the project concept.

Staff told the council this type of stormwater agreement uses a standard form typically supplied to cities and that the council had previously approved the form for similar projects. The document outlines maintenance responsibilities and a developer guarantee that the system will not fail or create future problems for the city.

No formal council resolution was required; staff said the mayor will sign the completed agreement after internal review is finished.","Council discussed a stormwater management agreement for a new seminary building at the former school garage site.

Councilors raised questions about several warrant entries. A staff member described a $12,000 annual contract for a software service that analyzes aggregated cell-phone location data to estimate attendance at public events and usage of parks and trails. \"It's a software program that tracks cell phone data ... we had 2,002 people on the street,\" the staff member said, describing a preliminary test run the city used for a holiday event and for a Front Street Festival comparison.

Another line item discussed involved the electric utility's procurement of a used recloser after new equipment was recalled. Staff explained the city had ordered replacement reclosers but received one that was then recalled; the city purchased a used unit to restore service at a substation while new equipment remained on order.

Councilors also asked about recurring monthly and annual payments listed in the warrants, including law-enforcement, fire and animal-control charges. Staff clarified that some items were monthly recurring amounts while others, such as the fire expense, were annual charges recorded in the warrants.

After questions were answered, Council member Dave Alexander moved to approve the consent agenda; the motion was seconded and approved by unanimous voice vote, the mayor pro tem said.","Morgan City approved its consent agenda, including warrants from Aug. 11 to Sept. 5 and meeting minutes.
