The small cell antenna will reside on the roof of the Wasatch Brew Pub, 250 Main Street, in a screened container rising above the decorative façade. Verizon Wireless, the applicant, agreed to make the walls of the screen mimic the siding material and color of the building. The actual material will be fiberglass. The Wasatch Brew Pub is a non-historic building. The new antenna will share a signal with a smaller number of cell phone users, all within a 500-foot radius. A second similar facility at 340 Main Street will come in front of the commission in May for another conditional use permit. Fewer, larger antennae would end up interfering with each other, due to the topography of the area, according to Verizon’s representative. Get permit before burning County residents need permits to burn property SCOTT NAGLE South Summit Fire Protection District You set the scene It’s the time of year when residents, farmers and ranchers are burning their ditches or fields. There are laws/rules people who reside in Summit County need to keep in mind before they light a field, pile or ditch on fire. For unincorporated Summit County, a burn permit is required from June 1 through Oct. 31. Outside of those months, burns can take place without a permit, Continued from A-3 RV talk gets specific house cannot protrude beyond the façade. Why focus on gravel? Xeriscaping’s use of gravel would also be affected by any codified definitions, and so landscaping use of gravel was also addressed. Rocks smaller than two inches diameter, the Planning Department’s proposed definition of gravel or gravel mulch, is a popular ground cover for water-wise landscaping, but is “100 percent prohibited” right now, Erickson said in the meeting. Gravel driveways are allowed. He attributed its use in landscaping to confusion of what gravel is, and the necessity to be more mindful of ground covering than was needed earlier. Commission members and public but residents must still contact dispatch. The permits are free and can be obtained by calling the fire warden at 435-640-2075. He issues these permits Monday through Thursday. The permits are good for three days. Three criteria are used to determine whether burning is allowed on any given day: • A clearing index of 500 or more. (Mandated by Division of Air Quality) • Winds above/below 10 mph. (Less of an issue if there has been rain or snow) • Red flag warning. (Hazard wind warnings and/or low relative humidity) Remember, state law requires all fires are to be manned at all times and please do not forget to call Summit Dispatch before lighting a fire. input comments countered that there was also a period where gravel was allowed. Erickson could not confirm this. The planning department typically receives numerous complaints from citizens tied to gravel runoff into streets, especially near driveway corners and after snow melt, Erickson said. City infrastructure gets damaged from this runoff, storm water is negatively affected, as well as cyclists and pedestrians, and the visual appeal of the neighborhood is harmed. Going forward Since gravel mulch xeriscaping was never allowed in the city code, landscapes currently featuring the small rocks cannot be grandfathered in to compliance, said Morlan. Proposed changes would allow for use of gravel mulch in xeriscaping when accompanied by vegetation or larger boulders, up to 50 percent of the yard. Gravel driveways would not be included, but both features should have a hard surface barrier to ‘catch’ scattering gravel. Enforcement of current For incorporated areas, open burn periods are March 31through May 30 and Sept.15 through Oct. 30. These are the only times allowed for open burning in incorporated areas. During this time, permits are issued through the Division of Air Quality (DAQ). A link to the division’s website is on the Summit County Website. Other restrictions may be applied by your local municipality. Please check the appropriate municipal website for information specific to your area. The information in this article was comprised by Summit County Fire Warden Bryce Boyer. Summit County ordinance requires all residents must contact Summit County Dispatch at 435-336-3600, option 1, before conducting any open burns (the exception being campfires in improved fire pits). and proposed codes are to be complaint-based, relying on neighbors to self-police their neighborhoods. Park Meadows resident David Staley rose during public input to voice concern with that type of enforcement, saying that self-policing can cause strife between residents, eroding the sense of community if complaints become spiteful. Staley also asked the commission to consider gravel covering for parking pads of nonmotorized recreational vehicles, such as trailers or boats, since the scatter would not be as widespread. Old Town resident Marianne Cone also spoke during public input, asking the commission to consider other surfaces for parking RVs, fitting the needs and intentions of the code, but are not included in the list. The exclusion would, in essence, make appropriate surfaces noncompliant, she said. Changes to the code covering parking of recreational vehicles are detailed and broad, but will ultimately translate into more latitude for vehicle owners and landscaping, Erickson said.
