Legend
1. These tracts, the Moab Municipal Golf Course, Old City Park,
2
and adjacent areas owned by the City of Moab and other parties
are shown on the Exhibit A map attached to and incorported into
this Resolution.
2. None of the boundaries of these tracts has been. surveyed,
except for city property boundaries as indicated. All non --
surveyed boundaries of the ten tracts are clearly visible geo-
physical features. Acreages were calculated by planimeter from a
1:200 scale copy of the Exhibit A map; exact acreages from sur-
veyed boundaries will vary slightly from the approximate figures
given in this Resolution. Sales price for land will be based on
appraisedvalue of surveyed acreage.
3. The two principal public drinking water protection provisions
applicable to a residential planned unit development are use of
"pressure sewers," as described and specified in the State of
Utah Public Drinking Water Regulations (Section 6.2.3.3. of 1984,
currently under amendment); and prohibition of use of sprinkler
or flood irrigation. Drip irrigation is permissible.
4. Water and sewer services to these lands will be provided
through the Spanish Valley Water and Sewer Improvement District.
Although owned by the City of Moab, the 76.1 acres are not loca-
ted within the boundaries of the City of Moab. Responsibility
for health, safety, planning and zoning functions for these lands
rests with the officials and agencies of Grand County,Utah.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT, in order to assure a. consistent
plan for and execution of a high -quality, aesthetically pleasing
development of these lands to realize their value, the City of
Moab offers these lands for sale as a package to one planned unit
developer. Upon signing an Option Agreement with the City for
the 76.1 acres, the developer will prepare a master planned unit
development plan in accordance with the Grand County Zoning
Ordinance Chapter 2-6 for the entire area, presumably to be
executed in phases or stages over time. Upon approval of a
master planned unit development plan by the Grand County Board of
County Commissioners, the City will appraise, survey, and place
into escrow the fee -simple title to those lands to be developed
in the first phase of the developer's approved plan, and the
developer will place into escrow the purchase price for these
lands. Upon completion of the first phase of development, the
trust agent shall deliver the title to the developer and the
purchase price to the City, and the process of surveying, apprai-
sing, and placing into escrow title and purchase price of the
lands next subject to development will proceed as provided for in
the Option Agreement.
PASSED AND APPROVED in open Council by a unanimous majority
vote of the Governing Body of Moab City Council this 3rd day of
December, A.D., 1991.
