Additional Public Hearings have been scheduled:

  • May 27, 2026: Planning Commission Meeting (public hearing – no recommendation will be made and public hearing will be continued to a future meeting)

CHAIR’S MESSAGE

Chair’s Message for May 2026

 Steve Miller MD

May’s Chair Article by Steve Miller, MD

Dear Neighbors,

As I write this newsletter, I’m reminded of the rain storms that we have had over the last two weeks. What a blessing!! It is nice to see the many flowers that are blooming throughout the Avenues and in Memory Grove. It is truly a marvelous season of beauty and rebirth. I hope that each of you have had a wonderful Spring/Easter season with friends and family. I’m looking forward to putting my tomatoes in the garden and watching them grow.

As many of you know, we are in a period of transition at the Greater Avenues Community Council. I am leaving for Hong Kong in June to serve as the Asia Area Medical Authority for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This month we need to nominate a new GACC chair and chair elect, and then vote at our June community meetings. I have loved serving on the GACC Board and as the Chair, and I will miss seeing each of you at the meetings, and in your neighborhoods and gardens. I hope that each of you take the time to look for ways to help each other and say “hello” to each other.

The other day, I was biking along 11th Avenue and ran into a good friend whose son attended Wasatch Elementary School, Bryant Middle School and West High School with our oldest daughter. It was fun to catch up with him and to see that we both continue to enjoy all that this wonderful community has to offer.

I hope that each of you will join us at the Memory Grove Cleanup on Saturday, May 9th, 8am to Noon at Memory Grove Park. It is a great time to work with each other and the City Parks Dept. to beautify this historic park.

Have a wonderful May and see you at the community meeting on May 6!

Steve

WILDLAND URBAN INTERFACE (WUI) LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

House Bill 41 was signed March 25,2026 to incorporate the 2024  International Wildland-Urban Interface
Code fire codes and postpone program implementation for one year. More accurate statewide WUI property identification and mapping will take place during 2026. The program is now scheduled to start January 1, 2027 for identified WUI properties. Full legislative text can be found HERE.

 

UTAH HOUSE BILL 48 – WILDLAND URBAN INTERFACE MODIFICATIONS

To address wildfire risk where residential areas meet open space areas – the Wildland Urban Interface Zone – the State has mandated that all cities adopt these regulations regulating building materials, construction requirements, building separation and landscaping to create more wildfire resistant properties in certain areas.

See House Bill 48 HERE

See the Storyboard on the Wildland Urban Interface Zoning Ordinance Changes HERE

 

WILDLAND URBAN INTERFACE (WUI) ORDINANCE

The SLC Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Ordinance was approved by the City Council on Nov. 18. This was a State Legislature mandated ordinance, which regulates building codes, allowed building materials, and modifies landscaping rules in the designated interface area to reduce wildfire risk.

SLC WILDLAND URBAN INTERFACE ORDINANCE

         As a result of House Bill 48 shown above, the Salt Lake City Council has adopted an ordinance that would adopt the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Fire Code required by the State, along with a map that shows where the WUI Fire Code would apply. The ordinance also amends Title 21A of the Salt Lake City Code to give precedence to the adopted WUI Code where it conflicts with regulations, with the exception of the Riparian Corridor Overlay. 

Certain Greater Avenues properties will be affected by the adoption of the State Wildland Urban Interface Code.

See more at Salt Lake Wildland Urban Interface Fire Code

See Deseret News Wildland Code article by Carter Williams HERE

 

TAKE STEPS TO PROTECT YOUR HOME AND FAMILY

         See the GACC’s Wildfire Committee’s flyer on Personal and Property preparedness HERE

KNOW YOUR FIRE ZONE

Over 1,500 residences within the Avenues are especially vulnerable to wildfire due to their proximity to the fire-prone “Wildland Urban Interface” (WUI).

Many more properties throughout the Avenues are susceptible – due to their density and unpredictable fire weather.

It is important for residents to understand how fire can damage our homes and property, and how we can lessen the possibility of damage.

If each of us does our part to reduce risk, we can collectively create a safer, more resilient neighborhood!

WILDFIRE RISK AND HOMEOWNERS’ INSURANCE

An important consideration is your homeowner’s coverage and how it relates to fire risk. Our GACC Wildfire Preparedness committee chair Amy Merritt-Smith has created this Homeowners 101 report with some great suggestions. 

Homeowners’ Insurance Check-up by Amy Merritt-Smith, December 2025

Independent agents and direct homeowners’ insurance policy sellers advise reviewing and possibly updating your policy during the winter, outside wildfire season. Proactively read and understand policy coverage.

Key policy areas to review with your agent are:

Coverage A: Dwelling and Other Structures, including hardscape, fencing, sheds, and outbuildings. Consider a replacement cost coverage versus a cash value policy. Contractors and recent comparable home sales offer guidance on current price per square foot estimates.

Coverage B: Contents. Inventory and make images of possessions and save those to the cloud. Consider extra coverage for jewelry, art, and antiques.

Coverage C: Loss of Use. Many policies limit coverage to 24 months. Other coverage. This typically includes landscape, debris removal, and code upgrades. Harden your home by creating defensible space around your home’s exterior to increase your safety and potentially influence your premium and coverage.

Always take steps to protect your home and family!  See the GACC Wildfire Committee’s flyer on Personal and Property preparedness at

https://avenuescouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/GACC-Wildfire-Flyer-web.pdf

Give your insurer proof of any work you’ve done.

United Policy Holders is an independent resource for insurance guidelines: www.uphelp.org

 

Email gaccwildfire@slc-avenues.org with any questions about this information.

 

WILDFIRE PREPAREDNESS GUIDELINES 

The best thing a homeowner can do to protect their property is CREATE DEFENSIBLE SPACE.

Some easy and immediate steps to take are:

  • Clean roofs and gutters of dead leaves, debris, and pine needles that could catch embers.
  • Replace or repair any loose or missing shingles or roof tiles to prevent ember penetration.
  • Reduce embers that could pass through vents in the eaves by installing 1/8 inch metal mesh screening.
  • Clean debris from exterior attic vents and install 1/8 inch metal mesh screening to reduce embers.
  • Repair or replace damaged or loose window screens and any broken windows
  • Screen or box-in areas below patios and decks with wire mesh to prevent debris and combustible materials from accumulating.
  • Move any flammable material away from wall exteriors – mulch, flammable plants, leaves and needles, firewood piles – anything that can burn.
  • Remove anything stored underneath decks or porches.

The time you spend on wildfire prevention around your home is important and the SLC Fire Department is asking residents to report the hours you spend removing possible wildfire fuels around your home.

Memory Grove Committee https://avenuescouncil.org/project/memory-grove/ Sun, 05 Apr 2026 03:02:52 +0000 https://stage.infobytes.cc/?post_type=project&p=2343

Memory Grove CLEAN-UP

May 9, 2026.

6-8 AM to Noon, 300 N Canyon Rd.


The GACC Memory Grove Committee works with Salt Lake City Parks, Preservation Utah, the Memorial House and other stakeholders to maintain, improve and preserve the monuments and park features in Memory Grove Park, Salt Lake City.

The leadership of the Memory Grove Committee are Kathryn Wright, Chair, Phil Carroll, Craig Ogan, Winston Seiler, Cindy Cromer and Michael Hughes.

The annual GACC-hosted Memory Grove Cleanup was held on Saturday, May 10th, 2025, with Salt Lake City Parks providing the tools and trucks, and LDS Hospital providing lunch for all the volunteers!


Beginning in 1997, residents of the Greater Avenues Community, under the direction Phil Carroll and with ongoing support from the Memory Grove Foundation, LDS Hospital, the Ensign Stake, Salt Lake City Parks Department, and the Salt Lake City Council have helped preserve and beautify Memory Grove park through this annual community-sponsored cleanup project.

History of Memory Grove and the Memorial House

History of Memory Grove and Memorial House

The Latter-day Saint pioneers first camped at the mouth of City Creek Canyon, using the creek for irrigation and drinking water. A sawmill and flour mill were located along the creek in the 1860’s and 1870’s. Salt Lake City acquired the land located in lower City Creek Canyon in 1902, planted trees in 1914, and a park was born. The Service Star Legion, a group of women who had lost sons in World War I, petitioned the City to dedicate the area in honor of the soldiers. This land officially became Memory Grove and home to Memorial House in 1924.

The Memorial House building began life as a horse stable and equipment storage shed for the P.J. Moran Asphalt Company. As asphalt demand dropped and production ceased, the building suffered years of neglect. Through the efforts of the same Service Star Legion of women, the house was updated. Memorial House became a center of social life in Salt Lake City from the 1930s through the 1960s. Other monuments and a pond were added to enhance the area, but by the 1970s and 1980s decline had set in once again and crime was an unwelcome visitor.

The canyon and pond were devastated by the flood of 1983 when clogged underground conduits forced City Creek stream down Canyon Road to State Street. In the recovery from that destruction, repairs to the park and Memorial House were made. Additional improvements came again in 1999 after a surprise tornado tore through the park. Located on the urban interface, the decision to emphasize Memory Grove as a transition from an urban park to the open lands of City Creek Canyon has worked. In partnership with Salt Lake City, The Utah Heritage Foundation (now Preservation Utah) currently operates the Memorial House and is working to maintain ongoing stewardship. Memorial House now hosts wedding receptions and various public and private meetings.

The City developed the City Creek Master Plan in April of 1986 under Mayor Palmer DePaulis and District 3 City Councilwoman Sydney Fonnesbeck, a former Chairperson of the Greater Avenues Community Council and long-time resident near Memory Grove, and GACC board member and advisor.
