increased number of buildings that must be inspected.

City Council Minutes-March 29, 2016 (p.3)
Recreation Fund Deficit
Mr. Macdonald said it was important that a project like the Fitness Center not be suggested to be
self-sustaining. Mr. Davidson noted that in the past a portion of the expenses for staff salaries
had been paid out of the General Fund which gave the appearance that the recreation fund was
self-sustaining. A very different environment existed now than when the center was built.
Facilities like it should be provided for the improvement of the quality of life for the residents of
Orem.

FY16 Contingency
Item Explanation
Equipment for new fire truck Necessary hoses, axes,etc.for new vehicle $60,000
Mrs. Lauret asked if the current Fire Department staffing was sufficient. Chief Gurney said that
at the current time it was. Mr. Davidson added that they anticipated a need to hire additional fire
personnel eventually but that their focus for the next fiscal year was replacing needed equipment.
He hoped that over the course of a few years the City could hire additional firefighters who
would then be moved to the new fire station when it was constructed.
BUDGET DISCUSSION/PREVIEW - CIP, Fleet, IT
Mr. Price reviewed the proposed fleet replacement.
In response to a query from Mr. Sumner, Mr. Davidson noted that in analyzing the possible cost
benefit of leasing vehicles versus purchasing them they had found that the longer a vehicle was
retained, the more beneficial it was to own it rather than to lease it. Chief Giles said the
installation expenses could be prohibitive if they had to do it every two or three years.
City CouncilMinutes-March29,2016(p.4)
At the request of Mr. Macdonald, Mr. Davidson went over the process used to review the City's
vehicles to determine which ones were recommended for replacement, based upon use, mileage,
repair history, etc. He said each vehicle went through a three-step review process.
Mr. Carter noted that there came a time when it was more expensive to repair a vehicle than it
was to replace it. The State's purchase contract afforded substantial savings, and the City could
end up paying less for a new vehicle using that discount than purchasing a used one. Mr. Price
noted that maintenance, especially frequent maintenance, meant down time for vehicles.
Mr. Lentz said it would be easier to make the case with residents to replace vehicles if the staff
could quantify specific anticipated savings.
Information Technology
Mr. Lazalde provided some highlights for the current fiscal year and then reviewed the requests
for the next fiscal year.
·Off-site data backups and disaster recovery

6:00 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING - Receive Public Comment on the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Projected Use of Funds for Fiscal Year 2016-2017
Mr. Downs, Assistant to the City Manager, recommended that the City Council hold the first of
two public hearings to receive public comment on the projected uses of funds for the 2016-2017
Community Development Block Grant.
During the past few months, the CDBG Citizen Advisory Commission had heard funding
proposals from various applicants who wished to receive CDBG funding. The Commission
would present its recommendations to the City Council and then the first of two public hearings
would be opened for comment on the proposed uses of funds.
The public hearing was the first of two opportunities for public comment on the
recommendations before the City Council officially adopted the Final Statement of Projected
Uses of Funds for Orem's 2016-2017 Community Development Block Grant. Following a
second public hearing that was scheduled for May 10, 2016, at 6:00 p.m., the City Council would
adopt a resolution approving the CDBG Final Statement of Projected Uses of Funds for 2016-
2017.
Mr. Downs clarified that no voting would take place until thirty days after the initial Public
Hearing. He introduced Ginny Ball, chair, who then reviewed the commission's
recommendations for funding.

Mr. Downs noted that, in the past, the administration of the housing rehabilitation program had
been handled inhouse. Applications would be submitted to the City which would then hire a
consulting firm. Habitat for Humanity had made a proposal to take over that program.
Applications would be submitted to them, and they had the ability to do the environmental
reviews and bids. Because of the nature of their program, they had a large cadre of volunteers to
draw on that the City did not. It would make the money go much further. Habitat would also be
able to evaluate all the needs of the applicant families and point them to other services they
might need.
Mayor Brunst opened the public hearing.
Vic Morris, Payson resident and representative for Rocky Mountain University of Health
Professions' Foundation, said that while they were not located in Orem, they provided services to
many Orem residents, including sixteen Multiple Sclerosis patients. He said theirs was a pro
bono clinic and expressed gratitude to the City for the proposed grant.
Mikel Fitzgerald, Orem resident, asked the Council to consider adding the lesbian, gay, bisexual,
and transgender (LGBT) community to housing discussions.
Mayor Brunst closed the public hearing.
Mr. Seastrand said he was always amazed at the amount of time that was being volunteered in
Orem.
Mayor Brunst expressed appreciation for the committee's work.
Mr. Lentz noted the smaller grants were limited to 15 percent of the grant. He asked how much
leeway there was for the Habitat figure, should the total grand be less than anticipated. Mr.
Downs clarified that some of the money being used to fund Habitat were being proposed for roll-
over from the current year.
City Council Minutes - March 29,2016 (p.11)
6:00 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING - PD-21 - Parkway Lofts Sign Requirements
ORDINANCE - Amending Section 22-11-33(Q) of the Orem City Code pertaining to
signage requirements in the PD-21 zone at 1200 South Geneva Road
Mr. Bench presented Ben Lowe's request that the City Council amend Section 22-11-33(Q) of
the Orem City Code pertaining to signage requirements in the PD-21 zone at 1200 South Geneva
Road. Mr. Bench noted that the PD-21 zone was divided into three distinct areas with each
owned by a separate entity. Area 1 was the existing Wolverine Crossing adjacent to Geneva
Road and also included the Holiday Inn, Subway, and CNG station next to University Parkway.
Area 2 was Parkway Lofts, owned and currently being developed by the applicant. Area 3 was
the remaining vacant ground along University Parkway owned by Nelson Brothers.
Because of the internal location of Area 2 in the PD-21 zone, the applicant desired to amend the
the PD-21 zone currently included two wall signs and one monument sign along 1000 South. The
current code also allowed two monument signs (not yet constructed) along University Parkway
in Area 3. However, Area 3 was not under control of the applicant.
The applicant requested that the PD-21 zone be amended to make the following modifications:
1. Allowed fourteen permanent flagpole signs in Area 2 with each flagpole sign having a
s
nonrigid materials).
2. Allow two additional wall signs in Area 2.
3. Allow an additional monument sign in Area 1 or Area 2 which was intended to provide
directions between Wolverine Crossing (Area 1) and Parkway Lofts (Area 2).
Provided that one of the currently allowed monument signs along University Parkway
4.
(Area 3) be allowed in either Area 1 or Area 2.
5. Reduced the allowed height of all monument signs from 16 feet to eight feet and reduced
the allowed area of all such signs from 150 square feet to 100 square feet (applies to all
areas).
spoke at the meeting and made a comment about through-traffic across his property.
The Planning Commission recommended the City Council amend Section 22-11-33(Q) of the
s s
recommendationofthePlanningCommission.
Mr. Bench turned the time over to Mr. Low, who reviewed the history of previous signs. When
the owners of Area 3 came through, they used an older version of the code. Some signs were
they came up with the current proposal which they thought was more attractive.
Mayor Brunst opened the public hearing. No one came forward to speak, so he closed the public
hearing.
CityCouncilMinutes-March29,2016(p.12)
Mayor Brunst then moved, by ordinance, to amend Section 22-11-33(Q) of the Orem City Code
pertaining to signage requirements in the PD-21 zone at 1200 South Geneva Road. Mr. Seastrand
seconded the motion. Those voting aye: Richard F. Brunst, Debby Lauret, Sam Lentz, Tom
Macdonald, Mark Seastrand, David Spencer, Brent Sumner. The motion passed unanimously.
6:00 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING - PD-40 Amendment - Sun Canyon Villas
ORDINANCE - Amending Section 22-11-53(H)(21) of the Orem City Code pertaining to
the order of development in the PD-40 zone at 470SouthStateStreet
Mr. Bench presented Craig Peay's request that the City Council amend Section 22-11-53(H)(21)
of the Orem City Code pertaining to the order of development in the PD-40 zone at 470 South
State Street. Mr. Bench indicated that the Council had approved the PD-40 zone in January 2014.
The concept plan approved in connection with the PD-40 zone showed three residential
apartment buildings on the western portion of the property adjacent to Orem Boulevard. It also
showed one mixed-use building containing both residential and commercial uses adjacent to
StateStreet.
At the time it approved the PD-40 zone, the Council expressed its desire that the PD-40 zone
should not be entirely residential, but that a commercial component should also be developed.
The City Council expressed concern that after approval, all of the residential buildings might be
constructed but the commercial building might not be constructed for an extended period of time,
ifever.
To ensure that construction of the mixed-use building would not be left until the end, the Council
included a requirement in the text of the PD-40 zone that requires the developer to construct the
mixed-use building prior to the construction of the second residential building.
The developer had completed or was near completion of the first residential building and was
ready to proceed with construction of the second residential building. The applicant would like to
begin construction of the second residential building and to start construction of the mixed-use
building at the same time.
In order to do that, the applicant proposed amending the text of the PD-40 zone to allow the
second residential building to be constructed concurrently with the mixed-use building.
The proposed text changes are as follows:
22-11-53(H)
21. Order of Development. The commercial/mixed-use building shown in Area B of the concept plan must
be constructed either 1) before a second building may be constructed in Area A or 2) concurrent with
the second building in Area A. This is to ensure that there will be commercial development in the PD-
40zone.
The Planning Commission recommended the City Council amend Section 22-11-53(H)(21) of
the Orem City Code pertaining to the order of development in the PD-40 zone at 470 South State
Street. Staff supported the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
Mr. Bench noted the development agreement was signed and ready to go.
City Council Minutes -March 29,2016 (p.13)
Mayor Brunst asked about the mix of residents, and Mr. Peay said they had.no children so far.
Most of them were young couples. For the building closest to State Street they would like to
avoid restaurants because of the smell so close to the housing'Mixed uses had not been a big
success around Utah, even though it has been in other parts of the countiy. The front building
would take longer to complete. He said they wanted to complete'the project:
Mr. Macdonald asked how much the bonding would be that would be tied up. Mr. Peay said it
was $170,000.
Mr. Spencer asked about the time frame for completion, and Mr. Peay said a year and a half was
optimistic, but it could be done.
Mayor Brunst opened the public hearing. No one came forward to speak, and he closed the
public hearing.
Mr. Spencer moved, by ordinance, to amend Section 22-11-53(H)(21) of the Orem City Code
pertaining to the order of development in the PD-40 zone at 470 South State Street. Mr. Sumner
seconded the motion.
