Commissioners flag 2700 East expansion, lighting and building-height concerns
Summary
Commissioners urged City Council review of 2700 East expansion plans, suggested a review of city lighting standards following improvements at storage units, and raised concerns about building heights at the Lofts development; staff noted permits and third-party compliance reviews.
Commissioners used the reports portion of the Sept. 12 meeting to flag several operational and policy items for follow up. Commissioner Marty McFadden recommended that the City Council review the process to expand 2700 East, citing the corridor’s anticipated widening and the need for coordination. City Engineer Brandon Jones noted that the city’s transportation master plan calls for widening 2700 East and that UDOT coordination will be required for future work.
Commissioner Chris Roberts reported weeds need to be cut at Old Maple Farms. Commissioner Chad Skola praised improved lighting at local storage units, recommended the commission consider reviewing and possibly updating the city code on lighting standards, and thanked volunteers involved with County Fair Days. Commissioner Julie Losee expressed concern about the height of buildings 2 and 3 at the Lofts development on 2700 East; Lance Evans and Brandon Jones said the buildings met city height requirements and that the city hires a third party to review permits and ensure conditions are followed.
These items were noted for follow-up: a possible referral to City Council regarding the 2700 East expansion process, consideration of whether lighting standards in city code should be updated, and continued monitoring of the Lofts development for compliance with permit conditions.
