PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH

and Salt Lake City Corporation properties, consisting of approximately 60.56 acres of
property located at approximately 1977 South 2800 East, and amending the East Bench

2) and Open Space (OS) upon its annexation to the City pursuant to Petition No. 400-
00-29. View Attachment
ACTION: Councilmember Lambert moved and Councilmember Buhler seconded to close the
hearing, which motion carried, all members voted aye.
Councilmember Saxton moved and Councilmember Buhler seconded to adopt Ordinance 16 of
2002, supporting the current master plan, confirming the language in the master plan
indicating that a gate would not be supported, extending the corporate limits of Salt
Lake City to include the Scott Turville, Trent Hurley, James Sorensen and Salt Lake
City Corporation Properties, consisting of approximately 60.56 acres of property
located at approximately 1977 South 2800 East, and zoning the properties Foothill
Residential (FR-2) and Open Space (OS) , and that 55 acres be zoned as Open Space to be
designated as perpetual open space, and no gates by the City through the use of a
conservation easement or deeded to an approved non-profit open space organization,
which motion carried, all members voted aye, except Councilmember Christensen who voted
nay.
DISCUSSION: The following people spoke in opposition to the annexation: Sara Nelson,
Connie Nelson, Vic Rampton, Bruce Alder, Jim Bradshaw, Jerry Burgosh, Stephen
Christensen, Colby Park, Irvin Holmes, and Stephanie Woodridge. Comments included over
development of the bench area, reduction of open space for the Bonneville shoreline,
loss of natural wildlife habitat, loss of hiking trails, and additional residential
traffic. Other comments and concerns included access roads, other property in the
area not allowed development, the proposed gated community and the issue of the East
Bench Master Plan being revised after the work and commitment made to develop the
existing plan.
Scott Turville spoke in support of the petition. He said Salt Lake County's ordinance
allowed 30 building lots. He said the City asked him to annex and develop the property
within City boundaries. He said the City's current zoning ordinance allowed 14 homes.
He said he was willing to develop the property for only 6 homes. He said the gate
surrounding the development would eliminate uninvited vehicle traffic.
Councilmember Christensen said to support this petition would deviate from the
existing East Bench Master Plan. He said he felt the existing Master Plan was unfair
to current property owners. He said he was not in favor of gated communities.
Councilmember Saxton said the only benefit in amending the Master Plan would be
for the developer. She said gating would limit the public from access to public lands.
Councilmember Buhler said the issue was how the land would be developed. He said the
developer felt he could not meet the existing Master Plan.
Councilmember Lambert said the petition included improvements to the Bonneville
Shoreline trail. He said buildings were not wanted in the foothills. He said this
was private property and the existing master plan planned for development. He said he
did not see the need to amend the existing plan. He said he would support the motion.
Councilmember Jergensen said a lot of work and dedication was involved to create a
plan. He said a compelling reason to override the existing plan had not been given.
He said he supported the motion. Councilmember Love said she would vote in favor of
the motion.
