Z News — The Holiday Magic Hello Sandy Friends, It’s the holidays – a time of year when we are all looking to create and enjoy magical moments. If you’re like me, the smell of a freshly cut pine tree or the sight of snowflakes frosting a home outlined in twinkling lights brings a rush of memories of the sights, sounds, smells, and feelings that characterize the holiday spirit. I have fond childhood memories of growing up in rural Northwest Ohio. The Christmas season began the day my family went out to cut our own Christmas tree. When we found that perfect tree we cut it, hauled it inside, and covered it with the long, silver strands of shiny tinsel and spools of lights that, amazingly, never set fire to the trees! (There were no running LED lights then—it was the opaque, 1-inch, individual bulbs that would get terribly hot to the touch and quite dangerous as the wires weakened.) On Christmas morning, we opened our bags and gift boxes of the traditional socks, underwear, and pajamas and enjoyed the magic of the holiday captured in the lights sparkling off the tinsel icicles. My mother’s birthday was also on Christmas Day and we always loved singing Happy Birthday on Christmas morning. With the years came the wisdom to understand that magic happens when we make it happen. It was the work of my parents and my eager siblings to cut, haul, and decorate that tree. That experience created an enduring memory of teamwork around a shared purpose. When I S S U E # 110
we set our mind to something with that shared vision, together, we work to achieve it. It’s in that same spirit of making magic that I look back over the past year and recognize the many gifts that have come to our city as the result of hard work, community involvement, a fantastic team, and a vision. 1. Fire Station 31a. My wish list last year began with improving our public safety. I’m pleased that we’re moving forward with plans to replace our fire department headquarters, where the walls and foundation are cracking, and the roof is leaking. With your support of the general obligation bond on election day, we are closer to construction of a new fire station in the heart of our city’s growing Cairns District which will allow a stronger, better response to our community needs. 2. Public safety fundinga. Another public safety need was especially apparent during our last winter season. Many of our older police cars were unable to navigate the terrain in the thick snow and icy conditions. With the passage of this year’s budget, we are now able to begin replacing the old fleet vehicles with police cars designed to handle Sandy’s diverse terrain. 3. Compensation packagea. With the passage of this year’s budget, we were able to reward our great Sandy City employees for their dedication and professionalism in providing quality services to you, our residents. We have a great team and we want to reward excellent work with fair compensation. 4. Enhanced eventsa. The year was packed with memorable events that bring us together as a community. From last year’s Light up the Cairns, to the 4th of
D E C E MB E R 2 0 2 3 – JA N UA RY 2024
July Celebration, the Heritage Festival and Horse Parade, the Balloon Glow, and Trunk or Treat at Halloween, our community celebrations are bigger and better than ever. Hopefully you’re enjoying these great celebrations. 5. Communicationa. We’ve grown our communications to connect with you– to share information and listen to your concerns. To date, Sandy City has 46,577 followers across our social media platforms. Our Citizen Connect feature makes it easy to report problems such as potholes or a tree blocking a roadway. Our city-wide emergency notification database is growing with 40,086 subscribers to the alert list. This helps us notify you immediately when a threat exists. 6. Residential survey feedbacka. We’re getting regular feedback from you through our city surveys. With FlashVote, we can quickly get your views on issues of importance to our community, such as rebuilding Fire Station 31, managing traffic in Little Cottonwood Canyon, city building priorities, our “Pace of Progress” master plan, and Sandy’s parks general plan. Your input is shaping the future of our city. Upon returning to my childhood home, I’d expect to find dozens of stumps among the trees representing Christmas of the 1970s. They also represent the magic of a big family of 12 and many wonderful memories. As we each look back on the work of the city in 2023, we can more clearly appreciate the rewards, or gifts, that have come this year. May we all continue to create that magic! Yours in Service, Mayor Monica Zoltanski P A G E

Code Enforcement Corner Sandy City adopted the first Sensitive Area Overlay Zone (SAOZ) that deals with hillsides, native vegetation, waterways, and geological hazards in 1978. The purpose of this ordinance was to address development standards for the properties that have sensitive areas. Some examples of the protected areas include properties that have 30 percent or greater slopes, earthquake fault lines, and rock fall hazards. These regulations provide standards, guidelines, and criteria to minimize flooding, erosion, and other environmental hazards. There are a number of properties within Sandy City that fall within the SAOZ. More recent subdivision plats (post-1990) identify where these sensitive areas are on the lots and information about the restrictions. However, many property owners may not realize there are restrictions on what they can or cannot do to these areas. Over the years, some property owners have modified these protected areas for a variety of reasons without getting any sort of approval. Some of those reasons include wanting a bigger/flat rear yard or installing a pool or accessory structure. Violations that occur within the SAOZ are a serious matter that can have negative impacts on the public health, safety and welfare, the environment and property values. Consequently, it is in the interest of the city and its residents to ensure the standards of the SAOZ are applied consistently and violations of those standards are avoided. In October 2023 the city amended the SOAZ by establishing an administrative procedure and penalties for enforcement on violations. The effect of the code amendment was the creation of an efficient administrative enforcement mechanism to deter violations from occurring and establishing incentives to promptly cure the violation. Prior to this code amendment, enforcement penalties were applied through civil or criminal courts and were punishable by a Class C misdemeanor. This process can be costly and time consuming for the city with uncertain and sometime ineffective outcomes.
The following is a summary of the recent changes to the SAOZ: 1. A new Section to Chapter 21-15 of the Sensitive Area Overly Zone is added as Section 7 and titled: “Violations, Enforcement and Penalties.” 2. A violation is defined as construction, grading, filling, clearing or land disturbance in the SAOZ without first obtaining appropriate (permit) approval from the City. 3. A procedure for issuing citations, enforcement, and remediation of violations in the SAOZ is established. 4. A penalty fine schedule for minor, intermediate and major violations, as well as a base fine and daily fine amount is established, as shown below: BASE FINE DAILY FINE (add to base fine)
Minor Violation – Encroachment less than 250 square feet of affected area Intermediate Violation – Encroachment between 250 square feet and 1,000 square feet of affected area Major Violation – Encroachment greater than 1,000 square feet of affected area
$1,000
$10
$3,000
$18
$5,000
$25
5. Incentives for curing a violation in a timely manner is established. The base fine mount may not be reduced, but the daily fine amount may be reduced, as shown below: Length of Time to Cure Reduction to Total Daily Fine Amount Minor and Intermediate 30 Days 100% Violations 60 Days 75% 120 Days 50% 180 Days 25% Over 180 days 0% Major Violation 90 Days
90 Days 180 Days 365 Days Over 365 Days
75% 50% 25% 0%
We plead with residents to talk with the Community Development Department, Planning Division, to find out if your property is within the SAOZ and what the possible restrictions are prior to making any adjustments to your property. You can read about the SAOZ at bit.ly/SAOZone. Sandy City has created a website that identifies what geological hazards are found within the city boundaries. You can see that website at bit.ly/UtahHazardsMap. If you have any questions, please call the Community Development Department at (801) 568-7256.
Sandy City General Plan The Pace of Progress team was hard at work over the summer generating significant community and stakeholder input on Sandy values and key strategies. We are continuing to identify and refine the General Plan Vision and Values, identify key strategies for the future, and generate the direction, goals, and policy direction of each of the General Plan chapters. This is where you come in. On the project website we have included the draft values that have emerged throughout the process. You can visit the Idea Wall to see what’s emerged and give your thoughts and feedback regarding the draft values. Make sure to check the website SandyPaceofProgress.Org or December newsletter to find out about upcoming events in the new year!

Sandy City Police: Winter Parking
Sandy Youth Court Highlight: Ethan Brennan
One of the best parts about the Holiday Season is getting together with family and friends. As we begin to plan all our gatherings, we want to share a few parking laws, so our officers don’t have to ruin anyone’s Christmas Party! One of the most frequent is Winter Parking. Sandy City code states. (a)No person shall park a vehicle on any street from November 1 to April 30 for a period of time longer than one hour between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 7:00 a.m. of any day, except during emergency calls. Overnight parking on any street, during the period herein specified, is hereby prohibited. (b)No person shall park or leave a vehicle on any street during any snowstorm, nor shall such vehicle be parked on said street within 24 hours after the end of such storm. (Sec. 14-7-3. - Snow Removal, Parking Prohibited, Traffic Code, § 153) The other most frequent parking complaints we get are parking “In front of, within five feet of, or directly across from a public or private driveway” (Sec. 147-2 – Stopping, Standing or Parking Across Lines, Traffic Code, § 148) Please help keep our streets clear of these parking issues so our snow plows and our first responders can better serve you.
Ethan has been an active volunteer with the Sandy Youth Court program since 2021. He attends high school at the Waterford School in Sandy and is the current Senior Class President. He is originally from Utah and has 8 other siblings. He enjoys being involved in school clubs, academics, and hanging out with friends. He became interested in Youth Court to look more attractive to potential colleges, but quickly realized that Youth Court is a lot of fun! Ethan is passionate about theater and is currently playing Edgar in a production of King Lear at Waterford. He enjoys the sense of community and self-expression that comes from being involved in theater. He really enjoys getting to know other people and appreciates learning from their experiences, which has helped him engage with the youth that come through the Youth Court program and better understand their perspective. Ethan has been an amazing advocate for the Youth Court program and actively recruits other students into volunteering their time. He brings a lot of experience and enthusiasm to the panel. He sets a great example for the other panel members and consistently volunteers to mentor at-risk youth that go through the program. Sandy City is lucky to have him representing the Youth Court program!

Heating Safety
Sandy City's New Passport Office There is something about the winter months and curling up with a good book by the fireplace. But did you know that heating equipment is one of the leading causes of home fire deaths? With a few simple safety tips and precautions you can prevent most heating fires from happening. Be warm and safe this winter! • Keep anything that can burn at least three-feet away from heating equipment, like the furnace, fireplace, wood stove, or portable space heater. • Have a three-foot “kid-free zone” around open fires and space heaters. • Never use your oven to heat your home. • Have a qualified professional install stationary space heating equipment, water heaters or central heating equipment according to the local codes and manufacturer’s instructions. • Have heating equipment and chimneys cleaned and inspected every year by a qualified professional. • Remember to turn portable heaters off when leaving the room or going to bed. • Always use the right kind of fuel, specified by the manufacturer, for fuel burning space heaters. • Make sure the fireplace has a sturdy screen to stop sparks from flying into the room. Ashes should be cool before putting them in a metal container. Keep the container a safe distance away from your home. • Test smoke alarms at least once a month.

Making Roads & Neighborhoods Safe During the Winter During the winter months, travel conditions can change quickly during a major snowstorm. Oftentimes, just getting to and from destinations like work and school can be stressful. It is a priority of Sandy City to minimize the danger and to make all public areas including parks and roads safe and passable as quickly as possible. The Public Works Department has crews prepared 24 hours a day in the event of a storm. Their priority is to make all main roads passable for schools, hospitals, fire stations, and commuter traffic. If the snow continues to fall, the city’s first goal is to keep the main roads clear. In such instances, it is unlikely that residential roads will be reached immediately because main roads must be repeatedly plowed. After main roads are cleared, they can move to other roads, residential streets, and cul-desacs depending on the size of the storm and the amount of snowfall. Please keep in mind that it could be 12-18 hours after a storm ends before a plow enters your neighborhood. The Parks Division maintains over 90 locations for snow removal. Their priority is to clear sidewalks near city buildings and school walkways. Crews can clear snow from all paved sections of trails and jogging paths as soon as all other priority locations are safe. Depending on the size of the storm, crews may not be able to reach a location for a couple of days. The Police Department strives to keep city streets safe during a snowstorm. They would like to remind drivers that there are parking restrictions on residential streets during the winter months from November 1 through April 30. This is for the safety of the residents in that neighborhood and for the snowplow drivers who must clear the streets. Police officers can either cite vehicles or have them towed if they are parked on city streets during a storm or within 24 hours after a storm. The Fire Department asks that residents clear areas around fire hydrants. Time is of the essence when a structure is on fire, and someone needs assistance. Hydrants are in every neighborhood and delays can come when snow or other debris blocks hydrants. Take a few minutes to clear the area around a hydrant. Other tips for making your neighborhood safer: • Clear snow from your sidewalk within 24 hours of a storm. • Do not create a hazard by blowing or pushing snow into any city street. • Clear common areas in neighborhoods such as mailboxes, fire hydrants or sidewalks for children walking to school. • Help the elderly or infirmed by shoveling their areas. It is our goal to clear the snow within a reasonable timeframe and quickly resolve any safety issues. For questions regarding snow removal, please call: Streets – Public Works: (801) 568-2999 Private sidewalks – Code Enforcement: (801) 568-7254 Parking issues – Police Dispatch: (801) 799-3000 City buildings, trails, sidewalks, and parking lots – Parks & Recreation: (801) 568-2900 During a snowstorm, see the locations for the Sandy City snowplows, please go to sandy.utah.gov/plowtracker.
