Millville
council grants building permits
By Jake Ipson
September 19, 2008 | MILLVILLE -- The city council
had the privilege of scout troop 27 present the colors
at their meeting. The scouts read the history of the
Pledge of Allegiance and then brought the American flag
into the meeting house where they led the congregation
in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
After the display by the boy scouts, the city council
meeting went rather quickly. Only one item on the agenda
did not receive a unanimous vote and that was the conditional
use permit for Randall Saxton to build a garage on his
property. Saxton would like to build the garage at 580
N. 300 East. The problem Saxton is running into is he
wants to build his garage before the house and in order
to do that he needs to let all the neighbors within
a 600 ft. radius know of his plans and after he submits
the names of all the neighbors within 600 ft. to the
city council he then must wait another 30 days until
they can hold a public hearing in which they then will
decide whether or not to allow him to build his garage
or not. But the vote to allow him to proceed with a
conditional use permit for now was voted with three
yeses and one no coming from David Hair.
Considerations for a sign to be put up at 550 North
on State Highway 165, requested by Kristen Gonzalez,
Michael Anderson, and Matt Anderson. They are looking
to put up a rustic not lit sign. But where that is residential
area the sign can only be six feet high and they are
looking to make a bigger sign. They would like it to
be a 10 by 12 ft. sign. The city council said they would
like to see a plan with dimensions before deciding anything.
They also need to see Planning and Zoning commission
first.
The council voted unanimously to accept the consideration
for resolution for Millville Meadows Subdivision with
a contingent to take care of a few minor details.
Colby and Sherry Gill were approved their building
clearance for a single family home at 397 S. 200 East
in the Millville Meadows Subdivision. The vote was unanimous
to give them the building clearance. The council also
voted unanimously to on the resolution to accept the
Shire subdivisions.
The city council did not accept the resolution for
Majestic heights subdivision until previously requested
items are turned over to the city council. The consideration
for a cooperative agreement between UDOT and municipalities
regarding the traffic flow along SR-165 was postponed
until the next meeting. The motion was approved to adopt
revised appendices for subdivision ordinance. Finally,
it was unanimously approved that the city will pay off
all its bills.
In the discussion portion of the meeting, the idea
was brought up that there should maybe be a deposit
to be paid when people come in and are approved for
a building permit. This would be a refundable deposit
upon the inspection and completion of the landscaping
being done. This deposit would be there in hopes of
causing less damage to the streets and gutters on the
road. Right now they are discussing a 2,000 dollar deposit.
Nothing was finalized yet but the idea will be brought
up in future meetings.
