January 13, 2015
The Development Review Committee held aregular meeting on Tuesday, January 13, 2015 in the City Council Chambers, 45 West 100 South, Santaquin, Utah. Dennis Marker called the meeting to orderat 10:10 a.m.
Committee Members Present: City Manager Ben Reeves, Assistant City Manager Dennis Marker, City Engineer Norm Beagley, Building Official Randy Spadafora,Infrastructure Inspector Jared Shepherd, Public Works Director Wade Eva, and Police Chief Rod Hurst.
Others Present: Scott Peterson.
Foothill Village
Preliminary review of a 189lot subdivision at approximately 100 West and 900 South. Scott Peterson was present to discuss issues with the subdivision.
Public Works: Wade Eva saidhe would like to see the lift station eliminated. It was clarified the areas above and including Phase 2 and 3 would use gravity flow. Norm Beagley said options for other infrastructure had been considered to the south, north and west, but the property involved was not owned by the developers. Dennis Marker asked if the contiguous 67 acre area owned by Alan Thomson would be handled by the lift stations. Scott Peterson said they would be. Mr. Beagley said a contingency plan should be in place for a sewer stub out. Mr. Eva expressed some concerns about the ability of the other lines to handle the impact. Mr. Beagley said a model of the Master Plan indicated the flow could be handled. Options for directing and containing the future sewer flow for surrounding properties was discussed.
Administration: Ben Reeves said he had no concerns with the subdivision.
Infrastructure: Jared Shepherd said he had no concerns with the subdivision.
Building: Randy Spadafora said some of the street names were duplicates of those in the Summit Ridge development, e.g. Foothill and Valley View. Other name changes suggested included moving the Foothill Circle designation into the actual circle; and moving the Mountainside Drive name to a smaller street.
Mr. Spadafora asked about the angle of the property lines by Lots 16 and 17, which shorten the lots. Mr. Peterson said he was not aware of the reason for the angle.
Public Safety: Rod Hurst asked how many units will be built in the multi-family development.Mr. Marker said 92 are planned. Chief Hurst asked when pavement of the Frontage Road would be required. Mr. Marker said after an approved plat shows more than 150 lots or units. Chief Hurst expressed his concerns with the amount of traffic that will be funneled to 900 South.
Chief Hurst said one additional street sign was needed, and several stop signs should be placed on the side streets, to be used until access is finished to the south interchange.
Community Development: Dennis Marker said two remnant parcels have been left on the southwest sides of Stoneside Street and Overlook Drive. These need to be addressed, perhaps by deeding them to the City or to the adjacent property owners.

Foothill Village, Community Development, continued: Billboard access needs to be shown, including an asphalt parking area. Mr. Marker suggested developer Jimmy DeGraffenried speak to the billboard company regarding needed access. The utility easements for city infrastructure also need to be shown, including the easement for the booster station. Mr. Beagley suggested the booster station be constructed to appear as an accessory structure on one of the lots. The building would be about 12 x 14, and be located on a separate parcel. The developer was asked to show the building four feet back from the rear lot line. The possible need to fence the structure was discussed. Committee consensus held that fencing was not needed.
Mr. Marker said Lot 86 has an odd setback which is not needed. Originally a roundabout was shown beside Lot 86, which may account for the setback. Mr. Marker suggested that, as setbacks need to be approved by the City Council, the developer consider reducing the setbacks on the smaller lots to enlarge the building footprints. Mr. Peterson said they may consider setbacks of 8 feet on one side of the lots and 12 on the other, rather than 10 on each, to allow for RV parking. Mr. Marker said setbacks will be fine-tuned at the final plat.
Mr. Marker said with the anticipation of an HOA, CC & R’s are required. Mr. Beagley said some call-outs are missing, but the closures will be checked at the review of the final plat. Mr. Marker asked the developer to provide a break out of the townhome area with larger scale plans and details. The detail will answer questions regarding such items as snow loading, garbage collection, setbacks and storage.
The trail corridors need a standardized fencing line. Mr. Peterson asked about the fencing standard. Mr. Marker the standards should be noted on the improvement drawings. Mr. Beagley suggested “no access” be noted on the plat to prevent double frontage on lots that back up to Stoneside Street and Highland Drive.
Mr. Marker said there is a detention pond shown which would conflict with the billboard on the north end of the project. This conflict will need to be addressed. It was suggested the billboard company be asked for a letter indicating they are okay with the easements offered. The improvements shown for Stoneside Street are not consistent with cross-sections provided by the City.
The annexation and development agreement requires that the phasing plan be approved in writing by Alan Thompson. All planter strip areas must show 6” of top soil installed. The developer was asked to provide a landscape plan and standards for the parkstrips. There is a two foot area shown west of curb on Highland Drive. The developer was asked to incorporate the additional two feet into the trail area rather than west of the road. High back curb should be used on the frontage road and both sides of Stoneside.
Engineering: City Engineer Norm Beagley said the high density area driveways are shown as 20’. At this length, parked cars may hang over the sidewalk. The developer was asked to increase the driveway length by 5’ or decrease it so cars cannot be parked in the driveways. Shortening the driveways may result in the need for additional parking.
The developer was asked to show curb and gutter along the southwest property line; show the proposed trail section along the northeast side of Stoneside Street; correct street names which are shown differently on the cover sheet and the plat; and clean up unreadable text.
Mr. Peterson and Mr. Beagley discussed long range storm drainage facilities. Mr. DeGraffenried has indicated he would be in favor of moving the lines further down the road, which would involve less future relocation of the facilities. Mr. Peterson said he understood more piping would be put in during each phase. There are some fiscal restraints in putting in the facilities for future phases at this time. He said he will discuss this issue with Mr. DeGraffenried.

Foothill Village, Engineering, continued:
There is some confusion on the areas of unbuildable slopes. There appears to be more area shown as unbuildable than the actual amount needed. City code requires that building setbacks be at least half the height of the embankment, up to 15 feet from the toe of unbuildable slopes. The Utah County flood channel easement or the toe of slope, whichever is greater, will be used for property dedication to Santaquin City for the embankment.
Mr. Beagley said the utility piping in 100 West is not accurate. He will send Mr. Peterson the shape file regarding this area. The culinary water line should be shown on the non-paved side of 100 West, as the new sewer line being installed needs a 10’ separation from the culinary water line. The culinary line will be fed from the booster pump station location. Orchard View Drive, 900 South and the future frontage road do not show any PI lines. The developer will show the PI and culinary lines for the loop in the frontage road. Mr. Peterson demonstrated his plans for the culinary water lines and sewer laterals in the high density areas. He agreed to a suggestion to have clean-outs on both sides of the buildings. Committee consensus held the concept utility layout for the townhomes plans would be acceptable.
Norm Beagley made a motion that the developer address the concerns raised in this meeting and return to the DRC for additional review. Randy Spadafora seconded the motion. The vote to have the developer return to the DRC was unanimous.
