�4.������� CHARTER
SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD - Approved
Aleck Shilaos reported that the Charter School is
experiencing periods of chaos when parents deliver their children to and from
school.� The school currently has
temporary buildings and a temporary drop off area, which should be alleviated
when the facility has been completely renovated.� He requested permission to place a 4-way stop
at the intersection of 300 North 600 East and to establish a crossing guard at
that location.� Under current policy, a
funding arrangement needs to be worked out with both charter and private
schools.� Regular schools fall under the
responsibility of the local authority.�
The Crossing Guard=s station will be placed on the
corner but once the renovation is complete, he would like to move it to the
middle of the block so that kids from either corner can move to the middle of
the block to cross the street.� MOTION.� Councilmember Tatton moved that Chief Shilaos
be authorized to work with Gary Sonntag on resolving this issue and to come to
an agreeable decision on funding a Crossing Guard and any equipment
necessary.� Motion seconded by
Councilmember Wheeler and carried by those present (Councilmembers Wheeler and
Tatton and Councilmember Denison on the speakerphone).� Nick Sampinos recomended that this item be
ratified upon the arrival of Councilmember Aguayo.

�8.������� ELKRIDGE
SUBDIVISION - 485 West 800 South - Plant Amendment Approved, Development
Agreement Extended
Mayor Protem McEvoy reported that the Planning and Zoning
Commission reviewed the request of Elkridge Subdivision for a plat amendment
and recommended approval, as some of the lots in the subdivision are so close
to Fairgrounds Road, they have had to change the property lines on the south
side.� When Elkridge requested their
second phase be constructed, they were required to construct curb, gutter and
sidewalks along Fairgrounds Road, as is the standard procedure.� When Elkridge moved forward and contacted
Carbon County to determine exactly where their property line was, it was found
that there was an error in the property line description.� Elkridge did not own as much property as they
thought they did.� The road has a wider
right-of-way.� At this point, Carbon
County is not sure what they will do on Fairgrounds Road because of the trail
access that is planned.� Therefore, there
is not enough room to put in curb, gutter and sidewalks.� Carbon County does not want these
improvements constructed until the outcome of the trails improvements have been
decided.� Elkridge is asking that road
improvements be deleted from the prior Conditional Use Permit.� Nick Tatton stated that the trails road is
scheduled to cross the old 3rd West bridge on the river and run up
Fairgrounds Road.� The County hasn=t determined which side of the road
to have a fairly large easement and until this is determined, the County would
like a waiver on the curb and gutter requirements so that improvements are not
constructed and then dug up a short time later.�
MOTION.�
Councilmember Tatton moved that the plat be amended for the lot lines
and that the Development Agreement for the curb, gutter and sidewalks be
extended for one year from the date of the Development Agreement and that it be
reviewed at that time.� Motion seconded
by Councilmember Aguayo and carried.
��9.������ PRICE RIVER DRIVE BUSINESS PARK - Plant

Commission gave a favorable recommendation to the request of the Price River
Drive Business Park For A Plat Amendment and Zone Change.� MOTION.� Councilmember Aguayo moved that the request
