Water shortage for Firework Saratoga Springs rules for
SS and EM By Emily Fotheringham Staff Writer
By Emily Fotheringham Staff Writer
The northern part of Saratoga Springs has spent most of June dealing with a water shortage. Neighborhoods including Harvest Hills, Aspen Hills, Dalmore Meadows and Sierra Estates have been forced to use less irrigation water for their yards in an effort to increase water supply. On June 4 the city released a statement saying, “The irrigation water in the north end of the city has been temporarily turned off due to low levels of water in the culinary water tanks. The north end of the city, with the exception of Harvest Hills, currently has been using culinary water for their
irrigation needs. Because of the high temperatures and the amount of watering, the culinary water tanks that supply this irrigation system in these areas have been drawn down. In an effort to replenish the water in these tanks, the city needed to temporarily shut off the irrigation system in this area.” Since making this statement the city has created a watering schedule for the northern neighborhoods, with water being turned off completely on some days for certain areas, while other areas received lower pressure. The city has tried to make it so that no neighborhood goes without outside water for an entire day. The city is hoping to be able to get extra wells this summer in
an effort to gather more irrigation water and to increase the irrigation system in the future. They also point out that watering guidelines from the county for the months of June and July are only “21 minutes every three days.” The biggest factor in effectively conserving water is the residents themselves. The city states, “We realize that this is frustrating and inconvenient to our residents. We are asking residents and large water users to use discretion with their irrigation watering and cut back to watering at a maximum of once every other day. Thank you for your help and patience in this matter.” Those interested in seeing the watering schedule can visit www.saratogaspringscity.com.
With the firework season about to heat up, the City of Saratoga Springs recently reminded residents of restrictions placed on personal fireworks within the city limits. According to the actual ordinance, it states, “The City Council of the City of Saratoga Springs (‘Council’) has heard evidence and has determined that significant conditions exist within the city which increases the danger of wildfire and the loss of life, limb, and property.” Although this ordinance was actually updated last year, the need for precautions is even more dire this year because of the extra mild winter. The ordinance addresses both high flying fireworks as well as the more common ground fireworks. It specifically states that all fireworks that exceed a height of twenty feet in the air are strictly prohibited within 200 feet of an open field, and within 150 feet of an empty lot, or a lot with materials that could be considered combustible. For all other fireworks there needs to be at least a 20 foot buffer between the firework display and any area that hold combustible materi-
als. Also in the ordinance is the statement, “Anyone who causes a fire due to the use of fireworks will be held financially responsible for any costs associated with fighting the fire.” The one exception to these firework rules is if Saratoga Springs is hosting an event and shoots off fireworks as part of the celebration. The city is allowed to do so because the fireworks will be released by professionals and the fire department will have firemen on hand in case of emergency. Anyone wanting to read the full fireworks code can do so at www.saratogaspringscity.com. Eagle Mountain has specific dates in place that fireworks can be used, specifically July 1 through July 7, and July 21 through July 27. It is against the law to use fireworks on other dates. This year the city is also banning fireworks on Lake Mountain Road, and states, “Other areas that have restrictions include parts of neighborhoods such as Point Lookout, Castle Rock, Jacobs Well, Skyline Ridge and areas north of North Ranch and Meadow Ranch. Residents may light fireworks in these neighborhoods, just not in brush areas.”

What do you think ? Saratoga Splash is a fun family event for this area. The Crossroads Journal asked residents:
What activities would you like to see added to make Saratoga Splash an even better event? “I’d like to see more things for adults, like an adult or family dance with a closed-off street or at the park. A zumba event would be nice for those who don’t walk or run. ” -Louise Lawson Saratoga Springs
“I think it’s a great event already. My kids are always excited to go each year and the volunteers are always great.” -Shauna Powell Saratoga Springs
“I think the city does a fantastic job with Saratoga Splash and I love all of the events. The only thing that I think would be fun, but not necessary, is a waterskiing contest.”

SS City Council Notes By Jennifer Klingonsmith Staff Writer June 5, 2012 The meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m. Those present included Bud Poduska, Michael McOmber, Jim Miller, Shellie Baertsch, Rebecca Call, Mayor Mia Love and city staff. Public comment Numerous residents attended the meeting to show their disapproval of the proposed Green Springs Manor high-density development on Centennial Boulevard. Many of them expressed their discontent during the public comment period. Nearby residents of the proposed development voiced concern about home values, increased traffic and child safety. They worried that a high-density development would negatively impact the values of larger homes nearby and that such a development was not what was promised on a sign that sat on the property for years. The sign advertised 36 future single-family homes. The residents also criticized the lack of open space, stating the developer was being allowed to use part of the golf course as open space. “Where will all of the children play?” residents asked. Legal matters were also raised: did the developer have the right to high density development when the master development agreement had expired? Some residents urged the City Council to follow the law, but if it was unclear, to err on the side of neighbors. A representative from Capitol Assets (the developer) then stood and announced that new plans had just been completed for the proposed project and he asked that a vote on Green Springs Manor be delayed. The representative continued saying the newest plans included 27 mansion-style units and 30 percent open space (including a playground). Policy items Consent calendar The consent calendar was unanimously approved. Ordinance 12-4 (6-5-12): An ordinance amending the city’s official zoning map for certain real property, instructing the city staff to amend the city zoning map and other official zon-
ing records of the city; and establishing an effective date. The zoning change was unanimously approved. Preliminary Plat for Green Springs Manor located at approximately 1855 Centennial Blvd., Rob Haertel, Capitol Assets, applicant. City staff recommended two additional requirements be met for the project to be approved. She recommended 3.5 acres of continuous open space and that 20-foot setbacks be required around the entire development. City staff also recounted some of the history of the Green Springs Manor application. The original development agreement dated back over ten years with past city staff and City Council members. Mistakes had been made. Because of this, current city staff recommended the developer seek an opinion from the State Property Rights Ombudsman concerning his rights as a landowner and the validity of the expired, mistakeridden master development agreement. The ombudsman stated that Capitol Assets retained a right to build a high-density development (77 units). City council members then expressed their opinions. Councilman Micheal McOmber stated that he owned a lot near the proposed development. He, too, saw the sign advertising 36 lots. But he also went to city offices and looked at the land-use map and found that the property was zoned high-density. McOmber continued saying that the City Council had spent much time trying to trying to fix the mistakes made in the agreement. He was also concerned about the children having a place to play. Councilman Jim Miller said that the City Council was in a difficult position—being that both sides had threatened litigation. He compared the situation to deciding what side of the cliff to jump off of. He appreciated residents’ comments and stated that he just wanted to follow the law. Councilman Bud Poduska stated that the mistakes that had been made over ten years ago had caused city staff anguish, looking for a solution. He also explained that if a particular project met zoning requirements, the City Council
could not stop it. Councilwoman Rebecca Call told residents that the City Council had read all of their emails. She thought that many of the residents’ concerns would be alleviated with the new preliminary plat submitted that night. She mentioned the newly planned park. Call warned that if the City chose to go against the ombudsman’s recommendations, it would open all residents up to the possibility of litigation. Councilwoman Shellie Baertsch stated that the property had been set aside for high density since the beginning and that the council needed to follow the ombudsman’s recommendation. Mayor Mia Love then reassured the residents that the Green Springs Manor plan had been discussed in closed session several times to try to find a solution. At this point, all the City Council can do is vote and continue to hold everyone to their obligations, she concluded. The city attorney then recommended that the City Council table the preliminary plat, in light of a new plat being introduced that night. The Planning Commission would review the new plan. The City Council agreed and tabled the preliminary plat. Proposed concept plan for The Cove at Saratoga Hills located at approximately 1245 South Redwood Road, Michael Liefson, applicant. City staff reported that there were concerns about the traffic pattern in this small subdivision. She thought if Hillside Drive were connected to Redwood Road, drivers would speed down the road flanked with driveways. She suggested making a bend in the road and connecting with Redwood Road another way, or, pave a simple secondary path that allowed vehicle access to Redwood Road only in an emergency. Baertsch disagreed saying that Hillside Drive needed to be the second access point to Saratoga Hills. She also stated that the name, “The Cove” should be changed, as there was an existing neighborhood with the same name. Poduska suggested that the interPlease see SSCC NOTES on page 11

We’re all familiar with that small white building on Lehi’s Main Street that’s been home to quite a few restaurant attempts over the past few years. I recall Emmett’s, a barbecue place, El Mero Mero, Sub Zero and now there’s something new…Marty’s Navajo Tacos. I’ve wondered why that location changes establishments so frequently and hope it isn’t because they’ve just failed. I know El Mero Mero was really good and Sub Zero has, in my opinion, the best ice cream around, so what’s going on? I decided to put on my private investigator attire and do some investigating. How did I do that, you ask? You guessed it… I played the part of being a hungry customer and went to eat at Marty’s Navajo Tacos. Yep, my disguise was convincing, Marty had no idea he was being investigated, or even that his food was being reviewed, and when I slyly asked him about the quick turnover, he still didn’t seem the least bit suspicious. This is how it happened: I casually walked up to Marty’s, bringing my son as a decoy. We both approached the order window, pretending to be nothing but hungry. Then we proceeded with our famished act by placing our order of one Navajo taco and one Rez Dawg. I know. I’m smooth. Then we stepped back, looked around and sat down. I watched as Marty prepared our order. He was the only one running the show. He pulled out what looked like a ball of dough and flattened it into a very thin circle. Then he put the dough on a nonstick skillet and started cooking. As far as I could tell, nothing seemed out of the ordinary… other than the scone. Now if you’re familiar with Navajo tacos, you’ve probably had what I’m used to: a grease fried scone topped with chili, cheese, lettuce, tomato, etc. That’s what I was expecting. However Marty’s scone wasn’t even a scone, it was more of a crisp, non -greasy, delicious creation. No, it wasn’t flat like a tortilla, but was much flatter than a scone. It was authentic fry bread and was especially delicious. Marty topped that with the usual and asked if I wanted jalapenos on it. I didn’t want

private investigator is just my pretend job. Feeling a bit defeated, my son and I sat down, and wondered what to do. Then we realized we had some good food to eat. What a great reward for our hard private investigator work. Besides the jalapenos, the other traditional toppings were right on. . There was a bit of spice in the salsa, which made things interesting. And yes, after one bite of the added jalapenos, I took them off. They were just a little much for me. The chili was average, not really too spicy or flavorful, but it all came together nicely to create a light, delicious meal. My son, at first, thought his dawg was a little strange. It was made by wrapping a Polish dog with cheese, special sauce and toppings, in a Navajo flatbread. Yes, that seems a bit unusual, but once he got used to it, he thought it was pretty “dawgone” good. So, this mystery is solved. I’m guessing many of you have lost sleep over this case, just as I have. Now it’s good to know we can go get a yummy Navajo taco, enjoy it without suspicion, and then go home and get a good night’s sleep. Sweet Dreams. Marty’s prices are $7.00 for a Navajo taco with drink; frybread $3.00; Rez Dawg, $6.00 with drink; hot dog $1.00, Chili Dog, $1.50 and shaved ice, $2.00 and $3.00.

to cause unnecessary attention, so I just said yes. After all, he said they were pretty mild. It was after I said yes, that my suspicion grew… mild jalapenos? Is there really such a thing? My taste buds would have to say no. After I could feel my tongue and form my words once again, I decided to start the interrogation. Me: So, Marty, why do you think this location has changed hands so frequently? Marty: Hmm, I really don’t know. (I could tell he was already nervous) Me: There have been some really good places in here. It seems strange that they’ve all gone out of business. Marty: That is strange. I really don’t know why they didn’t last very long. All I can figure is that this is a starting point; the business owners just wanted to see if being a restaurateur is really for them. The white house location is perfect because its owner only requires a one-year commitment. So if they don’t like it, they aren’t committed for life. That’s my only guess. Really? That’s it? No mysterious problem that just keeps causing everyone to frantically leave with no explanation? Man. I had so many ideas of possibilities for this mystery and the answer is that simple? I guess it’s a good thing that being a
Note: This will be my final column for the season. Look for its return next spring. I will continue to do consultations throughout the growing season. See below for more information. Happy planting everyone! As temperatures increase in the summer, gardeners often get discouraged to see newly planted material wilt in the heat. Some are quick to give up on plants and pull them out of the ground. This is usually not necessary. Patience and some helpful habits are keys to surviving hot Utah summers. Don’t plant trees, shrubs, or flowers when temperatures exceed 90 degrees. Excessive heat puts extra stress on plant material—especially when just planted. If possible, hold off planting until September 1. Not only is it cooler, but days are shorter,
allowing more nighttime hours for plants to recover and hydrate. If you cannot wait until fall, try to plant in the evening, giving plants at least 12 hours to acclimate. Use mulch. I know I say this a lot, but that’s because it can make such a difference, especially in hot weather. Mulch (gravel or bark) moderates soil temperature and helps it to retain moisture. These factors reduce stress in trees, shrubs and flowers. Mound mulch at least two inches thick around the base of all plants. Water deeply every other day. Watering every other day provides sufficient moisture for the roots while still encouraging roots to grow deeply to find water. If spray sprinklers water your trees and shrubs, try to water them deeply once a week with the hose. Resist the urge to water every day. Don’t fertilize. You may think that fertilizer would help your plants
adjust more quickly and overcome transplant shock. But this is not true. Fertilizer forces the plant to grow, as well as adjust to its new environment, further stressing the plant. Withhold fertilizer until the following spring. Accept that in the heat, your new plants may not look their best. This is where patience comes into play. Heat stresses plants. If you have put down mulch and are watering regularly, wait for cooler weather to see what your trees and shrubs can do. Sure enough, you will see new growth emerge as soon as temperatures drop. Do keep nursery receipts so that if your plant materials fail, you can exchange them for new material.

SSCC NOTES Continued from page 2 section at Hillside Drive and Redwood Road be a “right-in, right-out” intersection only. City Engineer Jeremy Lapin stated that an island would be the only way to enforce a “right-in, right-out” intersection. Then there was a discussion on UDOT requirements concerning distances between intersections on Redwood Road. Staff did not know if a Hillside Drive/Redwood Road intersection would even be allowed. The applicant then expressed concern that he be required to install a large intersection at Redwood for a 23-lot subdivision. He thought the intersection would create more of a commercial feel to his property. He suggested waiting until PRI developed the adjoining larger property and have them install a large intersection farther down the road. McOmber, Call, and Baertsch agreed that having PRI install an intersection with Redwood was better in the long term. No vote was taken on this item. Consolidation and refinance of existing bonds from 2005, 2006, and 2009. City staff reported that these bonds (used for water projects) were being consolidated and refinanced at a lower interest rate. The rate decrease would
save the City $200,000. The refinance was unanimously approved. Ordinances 12-5 and 12-6 (6-512): An ordinance amending the city’s official zoning map for certain real property; instructing the city staff to amend the city Zoning Map and other official zoning records of the city; and establishing an effective date (Lake View Terrace 2 and 3). Both amendments were approved unanimously. Proposed preliminary PUD Plat Lake View Terrace, Phase 2 and 3, located at approximately 100 West Lake View Terrace Road, Edge Homes, applicant. City staff recommended that the development’s hammerheads (a type of cul-de-sac shape) needed to be widened to allow passage of emergency vehicles. Baertsch also suggested that parking be limited to one side of the street with signage and striping. The PUD was unanimously approved. Public hearing: Tentative municipal budget for fiscal year 2012-2013 Library volunteer Sue Alexander asked for clarification on the coming year’s library budget. She noted that the city was budgeting $17,500 for a sixmonth staffing position. She pointed out that the library needed to be open 40 hours each week and have a director in place to be considered a certified library.
Another resident stated that she hoped the sales tax revenue surplus would be applied to capitol facilities projects to keep utility rates low. No action was taken. Award of design contract for 400 North storm drain, widening and rehabilitation project. City staff reported that CMT Laboratories was awarded the bid for the design, survey, materials testing and construction management of the project. Staff noted that CMT was less expensive because they conduct their own materials testing. The bid award was unanimously approved. Award of bid for well #1 rehabilitation. City staff reported that Gilsan Engineering would be rehabilitating the well for $11,000. The bid award was approved unanimously. Reports Call reported that Salt Lake County voters might be able to vote on a bond that would improve trails, including the Jordan River Trail. Baertsch, who was teleconferencing from Wisconsin, reported that the new fire truck was coming along nicely. Miller asked staff to look into a possible monopoly on street lighting equipment in Saratoga Springs. He thought the supplier was overcharging developers. The meeting was then adjourned.
