The Draper City Council met on January 20, 2026, with four members present (Councilman Green deployed). The meeting included a legislative report from newly elected Representative Calvin Roberts, a boundary adjustment discussion with Alpine City, a closed session for litigation, public hearings on alcohol permits, a zoning map amendment, and a council discussion on the farmers market location.
Let's start our meeting. 601. We got it recording. We ready to go? Yep. Speak up because the only speaker working is the one in front of Joshua. The other one's not working. So just be. This parcel and this parcel are in Alpine. As you can see, there's a little bitty gap right through there that we're trying to push back into these two parcels. So the history of this is Alpine did a uh annexation of this land back in 1855. So a long time ago. Two mile by two mile square. Uh about it says that it starts about 1,076 west of uh a section corner. Did you think 1855? Yes. Um that was eight years after. So the world, the world or the US is split up into sections. I know you guys all know that. They're typically one mile by one mile. These ones are a little bit wider than one mile by one mile. So and that wasn't determined until the year after. So the final initial survey of the PLSS, which is the public land system, was done a year after Alpine did their annexation, and it's a little bit wider than what the two mile by two mile. So this distance right here is about that one thousand seventy-six at that top part. So when they did this parceling, yeah. Yeah. So when they did this these parcels, they held that 1076 and cake out and then went over and created this parcel. So the D or this parcel and this parcel held that 1076, and it was actually over here on the west line of that little gap. Uh when they did this plat in Alpine, because it's in Alpine in 2017, actually before that, in 18 and 1950s, somewhere in that range, Draper says we're just gonna annex to this Alpine City line. So the two lines by deed are the same, which lines up about right there if you hold that two mile by two mile thing. If you hold the distance, it's the west line. So these deeds here for these two parcels are the same line. When they did this plat, Alpine City approved it with the line being over to the west edge. They actually marked the property corners on all three of these to that west line. So they're still there, still currently there. So those monuments are there. When it got to the county, the county GIS said, hey, wait, you're overlap in the city line too from this 1855 thing. And so they made them shorten their subdivision lines and created this gap piece there. Nobody owns it, nobody's being taxed on it. No. Okay. In reality, because those pins are there and that was originally there, the lock lines should go over. So what I'm suggesting here is to fix this ambiguity of where that city line is and shift it back to where the parcel lines and everybody's been using it for ever, right? So I'm just trying to fix a problem that occurred because of an apparent annexation thing back from 1855. So it is marked on the ground. And if you want to go to the plat. The second the middle one. Jake's called. Oh, Jake's got it. So this is what I'm proposing.
