ACTION ITEMS
a. Review and action on an application for an Amended Commercial Site Plan, known
as Gunther's Tennant Improvements, located at approximately 706 E 50 S,
American Fork City. The Amended Commercial Site Plan consists of 1.95 acres and
is in the Planned Commercial (GC-2) Zoning.
Cody Opperman presented the background for an amended commercial site plan for the property
located at 706 East 50 South, consisting of approximately 2.0 acres and zoned Planned GC-2.
The amendment is required due to the applicant’s proposal to add second-floor office space
within one of the units, which was not included in the original site plan calculations. The
proposal complies with the GC-2 zoning requirements, including Sections 17.4.404, 17.7.601,
and 17.6.101 of the City Code. Cody Opperman reviewed the site plan, aerial imagery, land use,
and zoning. The amendment includes second-floor office space in Unit 2 and interior
reconfiguration within Building No. 2. No conditions of approval were identified.

b. Review and recommendation on an application for a Commercial Site Plan,
known as Climb Concrete, located at approximately 300 E 1700 S, American
Fork City. The Site Plan consists of 5 acres and is in the I-1 Industrial Zone.
Mr. O’Brien reminded the Board that they are the recommending body, and the Planning
Commission would be the final approval body.
Cody Opperman provided background information on the application, noting that the committee
had previously reviewed the preliminary plan and final plat for the project. This item represents
the applicant’s final site plan application for the overall development, which includes an office
warehouse building with outdoor storage located behind the structure. The site plan and civil
plans had no outstanding comments; however, older versions of several submittal documents
were included with the application. As a result, staff recommended conditions of approval
requiring a signed and corrected date on the ALTA survey, submission of the most recent site
plans, updated elevation plans including dumpster enclosures and directional information, the
most recent landscaping plans, and the most recent drainage report. The certificate of occupancy
shall not be granted until the private lift station conforms to City Code. The findings of fact
demonstrate that the commercial site plan complies with Section 17.4.503 for the I-1 Zone and
Section 17.6.101 for the City’s site plan review process.
Discussion followed between Aaron Brems, Ben Hunter and Patrick O’Brien regarding whether
there were any additional questions, concerns, or issues with the proposed list of conditions of

approval. Sam Kelly noted a prior discussion with Ben and expressed that, as the item proceeds
to the Planning Commission, an additional condition should be included requiring confirmation
that the private sewer system owner has accepted the proposed connection, as the project is
connecting to a private system rather than a public sewer system. The condition could be added
to the list of approval conditions and incorporated into the motion. Further discussion clarified
that the private lift station is maintained through an association to which all participating
properties contribute for maintenance and operational costs. While the lift station is managed
collectively through the association, the individual properties remain under separate ownership
and are not controlled by the HOA.
Sam Kelly moved to recommend approval for the proposed Commercial Site Plan, located
at located at approximately 300 E 1700 S American Fork City, in the I-1 Industrial Zone,
subject to any conditions found in the staff report as well as adding some sort of
recognition, official letter, email, or something from Mr. Phelon, accepting this
development to sewer into their lift station.
