Farr West—Pine View Water Systems turned in water to the canals back on April 14th. The extensive nature of the whole Pine View systems takes 7 to 10 days for the system to charge. When they begin to fill, there are unknown factors of repairs that needed to be done. The system should be ready for use May 1 or sooner, please delay watering until the first of May or until absolutely necessary. There is to be NO WATERING between 10:00 a. m. and 6:00 p.m. daily. Secondary water is for use on landscaping only. Any other use such as for pools, water features, evaporative coolers, etc., is prohibited. Secondary water should never be consumed. Anyone determined to be negligently wasting water will have their service terminated for the year and a $500 re-connection fee will be charged the following year. Any questions regarding this please go to: http://pineviewwater.com/.

Update on WISCO: Cory Wilkes stated he felt he has done a poor job communicating the progress that has been made on the site and would like to petition the Planning Commission reinstate his site plan so he can continue doing business. Mr. Wilkes commented he has put in over $200,000 in improvements on the site. Mr. Wilkes stated he overestimated his business flow and underestimated the cost of putting in the site plan. Mr. Wilkes commented that because of the extra expenses in getting the site going, he has run out of money before he has been able to finish the asphalt on the site. Mr. Wilkes stated his goal is to better communicate with the City and does not understand why the City will not consider giving him more time. Cory then commented that if the City continues to keep him out of business, where does that leave everyone? And, what will the site look like if he is never given the opportunity to finish it? Mr. Wilkes then commented that the fence through the property has not been put in because of the wishes of his father-in-law, Mr. Malan. Mr. Wilkes asked that he be allowed to continue to operate and revisit the site until at least November of this year. Ava Painter asked what the repercussions will be with UDOT if he does not make the June deadline? Mr. Wilkes stated he does not know. Ava encouraged him to go back with UDOT and address that issue because he has already said he will not make that deadline. Ken Phippen stated where this is tied to the site plan that was presented and approved and that variances cannot be given from the Planning Commission. Ken Phippen then stated one thing he can do is submit a request for a different site plan with which he can be compliant. Lou Best then asked if the issues of the asphalt and the fence could be separated, stating that the he understands the lack of funds to prevent him from putting in the asphalt, but asked him what was stopping him from making improvements with the fence. John Stewart stated he would like to see Mr. Wilkes go to UDOT and see what they say about giving him another site plan. John then stated he will visit the site with Sean and the engineer and come back to the work session with an outline what is left uncompleted and what progress has been made on the site plan. Mr. Wilkes and the City are trying to work through the difficulties this business has had with-in the City’s abilities and allowances of the laws that are in place.
The City Council has each taken an area to be working on and reporting back to the others. The assignments are: Bruce Allen reported he is working on the road plan. Bonnie Beal reported she will start working on the fence ordinance now that the general plan is completed. Ken Phippen commented he has been working on the accessory building ordinance and will start a study group on the broadband strategic plan and invited anyone interested to join. John Stewart reported he and Ava are working on the Capitol Improvement plans. John then reported they met on the Hales subdivision and feels they have come to a good solution on the detention basin.
