Council hears rezoning, development-agreement plan to enable new Granger-Hunter sewer lift station
Summary
Community Development staff explained a zoning fix and development agreement to allow Granger-Hunter to build a new sewer lift station on a carved parcel; provisions include right-of-way dedication, sidewalk alignment, a temporary turnaround and a 20-foot setback along 2920 South.
Community Development staff presented a zone-change request and development agreement intended to make a small parcel legally buildable so Granger-Hunter can construct a new sewer lift station and remove an aging facility.
Steve Pastrick, Community Development, told the council the carved parcel—created from a larger UDOT parcel—was left in an agricultural (A2) zone even though its size and intended use require R110 zoning. "They tend to last somewhere in the 40 to 50 year time frame," Pastrick said of sewer lift stations, explaining the city and utility need to plan for replacement, demolition of the old station and construction of a new one on the carved-out lot.
The proposed development agreement would require the developer to extend 5990 West northward and share roadway costs where the developer only owns the west side of the road; dedicate right-of-way to accommodate a standard sidewalk; construct a temporary turnaround at the dead end; and set the facility back 20 feet from 2920 South. Staff also recommended extending a precast wall along the north side of the site and a rod-iron fence along the east and south edges to address security and residential buffering.
Pastrick provided a concept plan showing the new lift station footprint adjacent to an existing condo development and said the southern parcel already carried appropriate zoning; the rezoning applies only to the northern carve-out that will become part of the unified site and include the development agreement provisions.
No vote was taken at the study meeting; Pastrick said he did not see a Granger-Hunter representative in attendance. The item is set for public hearing at the regular meeting where council action and any required sale or development-agreement approvals would occur.
