Pond Area Issues and Goals:
Larry Gardner brought maps of our neighborhood and the Mill Creek Pond area.
1. The city will support our efforts to secure and protect the Mill Creek Pond area.
2. We need a neighborhood or homeowners’ association.
A. Involve everyone who backs the water.
B. Must be official. Jerry McPhee has agreed to do the legal work.
C. Collect dues. An amount of $5.00 per month was suggested.
D. Craig Smith is the Redevelopment Agency’s attorney and may be able to assist.
3. The Redevelopment Agency might be willing to quit-claim land to the homeowners or the association.
4. Once the association’s paperwork is in place, we will need to bring this to the Mayor and city attorney. Errol and Steve have met with the Mayor and will meet with her again.
5. We will try to secure the whole pond.
Michele Johnsen said we need a storm water maintenance ordinance. She will get information from the
Neighbor Granite High and Neighborhood Plan:
Steve brought maps of the Granite High area and some proposed uses. Our attendance at Tuesday’s Neighborhood Outreach Meeting is critical. The meeting will be June 1st at 6:30 PM in the Granite High cafeteria.
1. South Salt Lake has first right of refusal to purchase the property but the County will likely be a partner to some degree.
2. The county is determined to improve access to the Mill Creek Pond.
3. On of the maps shows, hopefully as a worst case scenario, rezoning some residential properties to commercial.
We are pleased with our city’s new administration’s effort to involve the community in the decision-making process.
Next Meeting Date:
Steve will send an email after the next city council meeting to determine if there is an urgent need to meet or if we can wait until July.
