Jake Warner spoke about neighborhood designations and trying to balance density. He
also said that Salt Lake County currently has a project going on in this area and it's
expected that they will implement road improvements.
Cameron Duncan clarified that this item is for a rezone and the next phase would be the
site plan that talks about road widening and set backs.
Dave Bromley asked if there's an RM10.
Jake Warner said that with the RM Zone, the applicant has to request the density with
the zone and each of them come with a different set of regulations. There's an RM 6, 8,
10 and 12 although the density is closer to nine units per acre, there are other factors an
applicant needs to consider when deciding.
Britney Ward, Sandy City Engineer, confirmed that Salt Lake county is planning to do
right of way improvements in this area and also addressed the concerns relating to road
improvements and safety issues.
Jennifer George asked how far down 8600 S and 1000 E the improvements will go.
Brittney Ward said that along 1000 E, on the west side, the improvements will go south
down to 8600 S.
Jennifer George asked if there will be a right hand turn lane added.
Britney Ward said yes.
Cameron Duncan asked how far along in for the design process they're in and if she
knows when construction will begin.
Britney Ward said the design level is at 30% with the county project and the hope is to
begin construction this summer. With the east side of 1000 E and north side of 8600 S
there isn't a project timeline just yet because there's no funding.
Cameron Duncan asked if there will be enough shoulder space for on street parking given
the new road width and bike lane.
Brittney Ward said that's yet to be determined because of the grading in this area.
Jennifer George asked if flashing lights would be installed on the crosswalk.
Britney Ward said yes - pedestrian activated crossing lights will be installed however it
hasn't happened yet because there isn't a place to install them within the current right of
way. She did say one way that residents can help move the improvements along is to
help provide the needed dedication to get them installed.
James Sorensen clarified with Britney Ward that she does have the funding to install the
pedestrian activated crossing lights but needs the right of way dedication in order to do
so.
Britney Ward said yes.
Dave Bromley asked if it's for the diagonal cross walk or the one going east across 1000
East.
Britney Ward said it's for the existing diagonal crosswalk.
