Staff reports Highway 89 corridor agreement and other council actions; utilities-burying raised
Summary
Staff updated commissioners that the US-89 corridor agreement has been sent to UDOT for signature and that the city intends to transfer the Highway 89 greenway to local ownership; commissioners asked about burying power lines and staff said RDA funds had been used previously to bury utilities in exchange for deed-restricted affordable units.
Staff reported recent council actions and upcoming items: a new civic events committee member was appointed, the US-89 corridor agreement was sent to UDOT for signature, and the city intends to process quick-claim deeds to transfer the Highway 89 greenway to North Salt Lake to protect trees and the corridor. Staff also said pending items to appear before the commission include the Village Station general development plan and potential vacation of a south portion of Orchard Drive pending geotechnical work.
During discussion a commissioner asked about burying utilities along Highway 89 to avoid power poles next to new facades. Morris and staff said previous projects have used RDA funds to bury utilities in exchange for deed-restricted affordable housing units; staff indicated the issue can be evaluated for the Highway 89 corridor and brought back with feasibility and funding options.
