Open Air Salt Storage Fairmont Park: Mr. Rokhva stated that this application is a request for $250 K to construct a new Open Air Salt Storage, which will replace the current storage. The current storage area will be replaced with a Fire Station. The Streets department has five salt storages that are very crucial in the winter months to safely and effectively meet the demands of Salt Lake City Residents, especially in districts 5, 6, and 7. These storage areas have to be able to contain water run-off and take heavy loads of delivery equipment and heavy machinery equipment. The special design of these storage areas is part of a detailed recycling system. The whole parking lot will need to be addressed by being torn up and zero void asphalt put down to contain water the vaults will be placed to collect water, and then the water is taken back to salt supplier. There is no need to purchase new property, and the salt will only take up space in the parking lot in the winter months. Mr. Walton asked how much of the parking lot will be used. Mr. Rokhva stated that almost all of the parking lot will be used, a certain amount of spaces will be saved for skate park users and we need space for storage and to drive belly dumps and 10 wheelers around the property. Ms. McGrath inquired why the Fire Department is not funding a new Salt Storage Area. Mr. Akerlow mentioned that fire stations are built with impact fees and bonds so the Salt Storage area may not be a bondable expense. Mr. Sarver asked if there were any alternate sites for this project. Mr. Rokhva stated that they have looked for other sites however, the Fairmont park site is the closest to the current site. 2.

Mr. Norlem added that this project is going to help with wait times, cut down on emissions, and improve safety. Mr. Norlem included that it is a heavy route to get to 5600 W and the trains tremendously slow down and sometimes even stop traffic for lengthy periods of time, which leaves drivers stranded on the road. Mr. Snelling informed the board that UDOT is also putting in a new bridge on 5600 W for the same reasons: traffic, trains, and emergency services. 11. 1300 W Street Renovation and Concord Street Renovation: Mr. Ingleby informed the board that this street is dilapidated, some of these streets were built in 1949 and are cracking, that driveways are being torn up and, gutters are creating a dam effect.
