Summary
The Snowflake Town Council unanimously approved Ordinance 2020-05 rezoning a parcel, a special-use permit for a 400 sq. ft. mother-in-law suite, development review with 5-foot variances for the Kay Apartment Complex, a lease with CellularOne for a tower upgrade to support FirstNet, and purchase of ten used Yamaha golf carts.
At its Oct. 6, 2020 meeting the Snowflake Town Council approved multiple routine and land-use actions with unanimous votes from members present (yes votes from Kerry Ballard, Bob Flake, Lynn Johnson, Byron Lewis and Greg Brimhall; Cory Johnson and Allison Perkins were excused).
Rezoning and ordinances: The council approved the second reading and final adoption of Ordinance 2020-05 to rezone parcel number 202-17-063P from R-1A to R-21. The motion to approve the second reading was moved by Byron Lewis and seconded by Greg Brimhall; the motion to adopt the ordinance was moved by Kerry Ballard and seconded by Byron Lewis.
Special use permit: Scott Allen told the council that Planning and Zoning recommended approval of a special-use permit to add a 400-square-foot mother-in-law suite to a detached garage on parcel number 202-19-015A. Council approved the permit; the minutes record a light exchange (Lewis asked colloquially whether 400 sq. ft. was "big enough"), and there were no recorded objections.
Development review (Kay Apartment Complex): Scott Allen and a presenter identified as Hatch explained the Kay Apartment Complex proposal at 383 South 1st St. West. Planning and Zoning recommended approval with stipulations; the council approved the development review and granted a 5-foot variance on both sides to allow the proposed setbacks, after discussion about parking, access and proximity to neighboring houses. Council member Kerry Ballard asked about distance to the adjacent house and whether garage access was affected; presenter Hatch described a double-access plan and adjustments to parking and setbacks.
Lease and equipment purchases: The council approved a lease agreement with CellularOne for an additional tower at Snowflake Heights to facilitate FirstNet service for first responders. The council also approved the purchase of ten used 2016 Yamaha golf carts (the town will perform maintenance on the Yamahas); minutes note that the Club Cars remain under warranty but the Yamahas would be maintained by the town.
