Note the sketches on pp 42, 43, 44 are misleading and have not been revised to show 4 story apartment buildings.   After acceptance from the planning Commissions suggestion to go from 3 to 4 stories.  The original proposal was 132 apartments.  With 274 apartments planned, plus office (10 expected ) and commercial space (10) .  Concern is being voiced about the plan for 302 parking spaces.  Where will the overflow parking go?  

Citizen response, petition to Kaysville Mayor and City Council:

August 31, 2023 

To: Kaysville City Mayor and City Council, 

Subject: Petition Re: Kaysville Growth and Proposed Project “Creekside Commons” by HG Ventures @ 

521 West 350 North Kaysville 

We the undersigned love Kaysville and enjoy living in this Hometown community We support limited growth and welcome new families and limited businesses. 

While there are many things about this proposed project that fall in the line with stated City, State, and Federal Goals.   We are not comfortable with the size and some details about the HG Ventures Proposed Project. 

1.     Most of Kaysville’s families live here because they are interested in single family dwelling in a nice “Kaysville Hometown” community.  Three 4 story buildings at the primary entrance to Kaysville would change the Hometown to a growing “Kaysville Metropolis (Def: a very large and densely populated, and commercial city).   How do the citizens feel about losing what they came here for?  Have you asked?   (How do you feel about authorizing and applauding a FIRST SET OF FOUR-STORY buildings for a Hometown of Utah?)

2.    The Federal/State push for multi-level apartment housing is billed as Moderate Income, will such a label make it affordable?  Reports show that “Moderate Income” housing rarely meets cost or affordability goals.

4.    Can Kaysville really supply the Power and Water needed with  already squeezed supplies?   This is like adding more than 275 new families using water and power. 

5.    Schools are already overcrowded.  Is there room for children from these families?

6.    With the proximity of these units to the city’s approved sexual oriented  business zone is less than half a mile in distance going to be included in the sales brochures for these apartments? Or are these really Adult Apartments?

7.    Studies indicate that changing residents from ownership to rental is a recipe for  property degradation.  Is that what this city needs for the entrance to Kaysville?

9. Current Traffic Issues will get worse.  Many of the citizens do not accept the “traffic Study” that says there will be little or no impact.

Summary: The proposal for the Creekside Commons project appears too big, too much and LESS THAN FAMILY ORIENTED!

The Creekside Project is TOO MUCH and has a myriad of negative consequences.  We ask that it be rescoped and downsized to something reasonable for Kaysville Hometown!
