Residents ask for bike‑trail speed limit and raise property‑split questions during public comment
Summary
Public comment included a request to post a speed limit for multi‑use trails and a resident’s query about subdividing a one‑acre lot or using an accessory dwelling unit; staff explained zoning, frontage and ADU constraints.
During the meeting’s public‑comment period, two residents raised separate items: one asked the city to set a speed limit on a multi‑use bike trail; another asked about options to split a one‑acre property or build a secondary dwelling.
A resident who identified themselves as a local trail user said e‑bikes and other fast users make the trail feel unsafe and asked the city to post a speed limit or otherwise regulate trail speed. Commissioners did not take an action at the meeting but acknowledged the suggestion for later consideration by city council or public works.
A second resident described a property near 4000 South and 5350 and asked whether they could subdivide their one‑acre R‑1 lot into two half‑acre lots. Planning staff told the resident that the current zoning (R‑1) and the future‑land‑use map would need consideration, and staff suggested alternatives including an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) of up to 960 square feet where permitted. Staff also pointed out a practical limit: to split an acre into two half‑acre lots the owner must meet frontage requirements (roughly doubling the minimum frontage; staff cited about 260 feet total frontage as an example). The resident was advised to discuss options with planning staff and confirmed sewer and water availability on the property.
No formal action was taken; these were public comments and staff guidance.
