Park will take part in stormwater study By

October 12, 2007 | HYDE PARK -- With a unanimous vote,
the City Council approved spending $4,000 to participate
in the Utah Water Research Laboratory's assessment study
of stormwater. Logan, North Logan and Smithfield have
been invited to participate as well.
This study will provide a way to stay on track with
state-mandated stormwater requirements. Though the vote
was unanimous (4-0 with the excused absence of Councilman
Suisse), there was some hesitation.
"I'm afraid we're going to ask a question we may not
bear the answer for," Councilman Bryan Cox said.
The council again discussed the sign ordinance, but
was unable to approve the changes due to vague language.
"We could be very succinct," Councilman Charles Wheeler
said.
He added that the language must ensure "equal opportunity
advertising" to the incoming businesses, meaning the
ordinance should state clearly where a sign can be placed
in relation to existing signs so that both parties'
advertising will be advantageous. The council tabled
the matter.
An agenda item said the council would consider "enacting
a public transit tax rate of up to 30 percent," but
in fact had a typo. The council was supposed to decide
if they should increase the current transit tax rate
from .25 percent to .30 percent. By unanimous vote,
the council maintained the current rate.
In other business, the council:
-- approved the final plat for stage one of the Mountain
Gate subdivision.
-- approved the preliminary plat for Wolf Ridge Estates
