Case SU2019-04 Chairman Hansen opened the public hearing at 6:01 p.m. Mr.Wesley reviewed the application for a special use permit for a golf net. He said the applicant's residence continues to experience damage because of wayward golf balls. The residence abuts the 12th fairway of the Eagle Mountain Golf Club. By installing a golf net the home would be protected from further damage and prevent injuries to humans. Mr. Wesley said that the Zoning property qualifies for the SUP and meets the ordinance standards. Staff does not see that PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MINUTES December 12,2019 PAGE 3 Commissioner Kovacevic asked how the parking would be evaluated if the parking ordinances are not amended in the future. Mr. Wesley said that a Special Use Permit does provide an opportunity for an amendment requirement. However, in Plat 208,there is ample parking. The parking allocated there covers up to three stories. In theory that should be plenty of parking. In other locations, it may be different. Staff has an opportunity to evaluate these situations by the Special Use Permit application. Should an application not have the correct parking it may be denied. In response to Chairman Hansen Mr. Wesley, replied a SUP that is denied by council very likely would not be eligible for a Board of Adjustment hearing. It would be hard to meet the criteria the BOA requires. No one from the public wished to speak. Chairman Hansen closed the public hearing at 6:20 p.m. Vice Chairman Gray MOVED to forward a recommendation to the Town Council to approve Ordinance 20-01.
