How implementation of the land use element and the water use and preservation element may affect the Great Salt Lake. • How the plan is affected by water that is to be purchased by residential developers and brought to the city, since they will not be purchasing City owned water.

Commissioner Whiting moved to deny Item 7.C., Granite Credit Union Sign Variance with the given findings: • Relative to Criteria 1 - There doesn’t appear to be a unreasonable hardship because they already knew the location of the building on the site. They knew what the visibility would look like according to current codes at the time that they were constructing, and there is no unreasonable hardship experienced here. • Relative to Criteria 2 - Here they would need to meet the burden of proving that there are special circumstances attached to the property that do not generally apply to other properties in the same district. That's just not true. The code applies ubiquitously throughout and they're not experiencing undue hardship. • Relative to Criteria 3 - Granting the variance is essential to enjoyment of substantial property right possessed by other property in the district. They had the right to choose this location. They understood what the code was regarding the signage. They have the same right as anybody else to be able to put up the signage per code. • Relative to Criteria 4 and 5 – Granite Credit Union’s point is probably well taken regarding point number four and five. Commissioners do not have any commentary on those but believe points one through three are sufficient to merit denial. Commissioner Allen seconded the motion.
