City engineer Bert (last name not specified in the record) reminded the council that earlier in the year the city entered an interlocal agreement with the water district tied to the 3300 South Improvement Project: the district agreed to perform certain water-infrastructure relocations and the city agreed to reimburse the district for those costs rather than include them in the city's construction contract. Bert said the 3300 South work went well and Taylor West Weber has asked that the agreement be amended to include the same approach for work needed on 5100 in the coming year.

Council voted by roll call to approve the amendment: Council member Dixon: Aye; Council member Saunders: Aye; Council member Kahl: Aye; Council member Morse: Aye. The motion carried.

Brett Hogan, owner of King Seating and Cooling, told the council his property on 1900 West is a roughly five-and-a-half-acre parcel surrounded by industrial uses and two storefronts. Hogan said retail tenants avoid space set back far from the street and that he receives frequent inquiries about storage units. He asked the council to consider an exemption to an 800-foot setback requirement along that corridor and told the council the site \"is completely surrounded by industrial area\" and \"would be filled very quickly\" if allowed. A staff member (unnamed) explained the city code requires storage units along the 1900 West corridor to be set back not less than 800 feet from the street centerline.

Two neighbors from the Colby Creek / Mountain View Junior High area described repeated flooding tied to recent neighborhood development. DeMarco Armstrong said he and his neighbors have seen worsening flooding over about six to seven years and asked the council to press developers to keep drainage promises. Cassie Folkman said her yard became a \"lake\" during a recent storm and that neighbors have spent thousands of dollars on pumps and grading. Folkman said lots behind her were raised with clay and that stormwater infrastructure appears clogged or undersized. She asked the council for an independent drainage study, upgrades to storm drains and pipes, and assistance requiring the developer (identified in discussion as Ivory Homes in some comments) to address drainage.

Mayor Rob Vanderwood said staff would look into the issues and asked the administration to investigate whether the city had previously inspected the subdivision drainage. City staff and council members noted prior ordinances related to developer drainage standards and said that where infrastructure has not yet been accepted by the city, developers remain responsible for completion and correction. Public-works and legal staff explained that the city does not accept infrastructure as public until it meets approved plans and that the city can require contractors to fix deficiencies before accepting improvements.

Council did not take formal action at the meeting; staff agreed to follow up and investigate the reported drainage problems and whether further inspections, repairs or enforcement are warranted. An email from Jason Burbarg (spelled as in record) was also received and entered into the minutes on the same issue.

Speakers asked the council to prioritize accountability for developer drainage work so future neighborhoods do not face similar recurring flooding.","Several residents told the West Haven City Council on Sept. 17 of recurring flooding in new subdivisions and asked the city to enforce developer drainage promises; a local business owner asked for an exemption to the city's 800-foot setback rule to allow storage units on an industrial-surrounded five-acre property.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6469915,"West Haven council adopts updated consolidated fees and fines schedule",565,1639000,2204000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5780232-6579cf1e938983dd21be6ef1aa0dc5a2&start=1639&end=2204","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5780232-6579cf1e938983dd21be6ef1aa0dc5a2/thumbnail_1639000.jpg","/articles/6469915/West-Haven/Weber-County/Utah/West-Haven-council-adopts-updated-consolidated-fees-and-fines-schedule","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6469915-683dc7e7b79864f609208840aaaa636a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771209977&Signature=k9MO8muhnyVrByW2CBfLvcY9HG1IB9gPK2ZiGmgzKmZn~-2DKvQga9dqsUU-YoMRJHYR1fgq9Vm9pK2fgIj~uhAy7bZSwvj-LB-iIFMa8usuVuzQF8eIlatuI9ypsKRUthnMzoD~DirKNXdzYcmpcbEidaGdr0XM4du~edOwgtLaayYoqo9qEGTXhhLMgvObFMfxeGuqhZsJxM-FrLiC7h~iYp6bI~4QYFtVypdBLPSBgrA3Ob7VGI21~HePj1MeyMvq~Y8egYJmHzM-dOx0n4QGFWVG~CO9~GUP3grcd1AKFuplW1YxIZgB2-sqZHpkziLwcPQiYz6C7Hf7URobrA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","West Haven City Council on Sept. 17 approved Resolution 46-2025 to amend the city's consolidated fees and fine schedule, following a staff presentation and a public hearing in which no members of the public addressed the proposal.

Community Development Director Steven said key changes respond to recent state code updates and to internal clarifications. Under the changes, an \"identical plan\" (a repeat plan submitted after an original plan) is subject to a reduced plan-review fee: the city will assess 30% of the normal plan-review fee for identical residential plans, consistent with the updated state code. Steven said the city had already updated online application forms to reflect the change.

The amendments also tidy duplicate entries in the subdivision and site-plan sections, switch preliminary/final site-plan fee timing to better match review effort, and add a $50 charge for formal zoning-verification letters when staff must research zoning history. Steven said the $50 fee is intended to cover staff time required to produce an official letter rather than informal answers. He also noted that the city will keep accessory dwelling-unit and short-term rental application fees at $0 to avoid discouraging registration.

The fee schedule adds transaction fees to recover costs when online payments fail and the city incurs third-party charges. Steven told council the transaction charges are intended to be recoverable from applicants who caused the charge so the city need not absorb processing penalties.

Councilmember questions focused on whether residents would be charged for simple zoning inquiries; Steven said typical map lookups are not expected to result in a $50 charge, which is aimed primarily at more complex research requests by developers or financial institutions.

Council voted to adopt Resolution 46-2025 by roll call: Council member Kahl: Aye; Council member Moersch: Aye; Council member Saunders: Aye; Council member Dixon: Aye. The resolution passed.","Council adopted Resolution 46-2025 after a public hearing; changes include identical-plan plan-review fees, a $50 zoning-verification letter fee, clarified site-plan and subdivision fee listings, online transaction fees and keeping accessory dwelling unit and short-term rental permit fees at $0.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6469920,"West Haven council adopts comprehensive land-use rewrite after months of review",3532,2248000,5780000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5780232-6579cf1e938983dd21be6ef1aa0dc5a2&start=2248&end=5780","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5780232-6579cf1e938983dd21be6ef1aa0dc5a2/thumbnail_2248000.jpg","/articles/6469920/West-Haven/Weber-County/Utah/West-Haven-council-adopts-comprehensive-land-use-rewrite-after-months-of-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6469920-7829787470a0bb354da6d1df2af4bebe/orig.mp4?Expires=1771209977&Signature=b4BRZdJtR7IfVuh1TQkJIV7t0LK2pG-EN5h02BSgcxkznoWzOdCu3w5gRFVvdnOMMW-Llk12WoAkNDDgB-Dia93MH1H~vknNUGIasLGAeKqnqVsIZx0i6r6wN1p~yrEYpn9maTF99frr4MHwyyMr~RF5Mma34LAJN-GbLCSRiWCTI~zk1zWVsMsqZ5zX6H6PUhOu8fljz4I5fXWlAp7~aETSETmvd79pvx5v1UmEiWSigklHIF5MADG0hkmUKPBo-SIuBRH4vZj06x7y-IrAVHPDn3y6Yts93nAdpjnlY~TJYhydnr4n0grd0wW~AnLrwkBnbgK6qg3USRumJMIv5w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","West Haven City Council on Sept. 17 adopted Ordinance 10-2025, a comprehensive rewrite of land-use chapters that authorizes new review timelines and formalizes the city's development-review procedures.

The ordinance, which Community Development Director Steven (last name not specified in the record) presented to the council, updates subdivision and site-plan review cycles to align with recent state changes and adds detailed checklists and deadlines for applicants. Steven said the city revised the draft to explicitly incorporate state review cycles adopted in 2023'24 and to make the local process clearer for applicants and staff.

Council members and Planning Commission supporters said the changes clarify technical steps such as when construction drawings must be submitted and how many review cycles the city will follow for subdivision improvement plans. Steven described the new approach as: \"We have 20 business days to review those plans, provide an index report back to any applicant, and they have 20 business days to respond,\" and noted that process can repeat up to four review cycles.

The most contested item at the meeting was which body should have final-plat approval authority. State code language reviewed during the session allows municipalities flexibility; staff recommended assigning final-plat approval to city staff (community development director and city engineer) to streamline administrative signoffs. The Planning Commission had recommended retaining final-plat authority at the commission level to serve as a public backstop ensuring conditions from preliminary approval are met.

Council discussion reflected both positions. Council member (last name Kahl) and others emphasized the importance of resident representation on major land-use decisions: the Planning Commission \"serve[s] as a backstop to ensure that the things that they're concerned about during the preliminary phases were being addressed,\" a council member said. Steven said the proposed ordinance already creates a formal Development Review Committee (DRC) composed of staff (community development director, city planner, city engineer, public works director and the fire marshal) to review and advise on technical drawings prior to land-use authority action.

Council ultimately voted to approve Ordinance 10-2025 with one technical amendment: add master development agreement (MDA) approvals to items listed as city-council responsibilities in the administrative table. The motion passed on a roll call vote: Council member Dixon, Council member Morse, Council member Saunders and Council member Kahl all voted yes.

The ordinance requires the city to publish subdivision checklists and related application materials online and formalizes a sequence of steps for preliminary plat, construction/ improvement-plan review and final plat submittal. It also codifies a process for appeal of a city denial of improvement drawings that the state statute describes: if the city denies drawings, the applicant may request review by independent engineers selected by each party and a third jointly selected engineer.

Council and staff said the rewrite is intended to make review timelines more predictable for developers while preserving local oversight where the council and commissioners judge it necessary. Steven told the council he can return with the minor edits requested by councilmembers, and that the city has already begun implementing parts of the new process administratively.

Votes at a glance on Ordinance 10-2025: the motion to approve the ordinance with the added MDA item to the city-council responsibilities passed by roll call: Dixon: Aye; Morse: Aye; Saunders: Aye; Kahl: Aye.

Looking ahead, staff will publish the checklists and implementation materials on the city website and will continue coordination with the Planning Commission and DRC when processing active subdivision and site-plan applications.","After months of work by staff and the Planning Commission, the West Haven City Council approved Ordinance 10-2025 revising subdivision, site-plan and zoning procedures; council kept final-plat review with the Planning Commission and directed a minor technical change to list master development agreements under city-council authority.","actionData","errors"]
