6:00 P.M. Work Meeting with Joint Planners (Cooper, Roberts, Simonsen
Associates 700 North 200 West, SLC, UT) to discuss City addressing
Attending: Mayor Shawn Larsen, Chris Mann, Richard Woodland, Bart Stevens, Adam
Stout, Rex Erickson, Thaine Robinson, Dan Hanna, Mike Ricks, Mary Haley, Val
Christensen, Craig Rindlisbacher, Elaine McFerrin, April Howard, and Blair Kay
GIS Manager Craig Rindlisbacher explained that the GIS department works very closely
with Planning and Zoning to address streets. He explained there are three grids used in
Rexburg.
Grid 1:
7 Blocks to the Mile
Base of the Rexburg Townsite Block
Starting Point is located at Center Street and Main Street
Parity is radial from the start point. Right is even—Left is odd.
Street Names are not grid based except for 1st, 2nd, etc. All are treated as an alpha
character name.
Grid 2:
10 Blocks to the Mile (county)
Based on the PLS mile – 1000 #S to the mile
Starting Point is located at 2nd East and Main Street
Parity is directional. North and East sides are even—South and West sides are odd.
Street Names are both grid and alpha character based.
Grid 3:
13 ½ Blocks to the Mile (Sugar City grid)
Based on the Sugar City block size
Starting Point is located at Austin and Center
Parity is radial from the start point. Right is even—Left is odd.
Street Names are not grid based except for 1st, 2nd, etc. All are treated as alpha
character name.
GIS Manager Rindlisbacher explained in the mid 1990’s, the post office talked to Madison
County about their addressing system. Fremont County moved to a new grid which caused
duplicate addresses. The post office asked Rexburg to change grid addresses to named
streets or 2nd East instead of 200 East for example at that time. Rexburg does not use true
grid named streets because of this.

City Council Meeting
April 16, 2008

The city grid was extended out to 2000, 2000, 2000 and everything inside this grid was
readdressed. The question that is upon the city and county right now is if this grid should be
extended farther. The preferable thing to do would be to move the whole county and city to
the same grid, but that would be a very difficult and politically sensitive task.
There have been strong opinions both ways by citizens and staff about extending the city
grid addressing system. A decision needs to be made about staying with the 2000, 2000,
2000 city grid or to extend the grid. If the system is changed, it will have to be extended at
least a square mile so additional problems don’t happen in the future.
Laura Hanson said if the grid is extended, the farther out the system is extended the more
flexibility it gives within the grid.
GIS Manager Rindlisbacher asked that if any changes are made, the city and the county
work together and it is changed at each square mile.
Council Member Erickson said we should find out what the county wants to do. Mary
Haley said this decision will affect Rexburg’s Comprehensive Plan. The pros and cons of
address changes and grid extensions were discussed.
Mayor Larsen asked that a committee be formed that includes GIS, Emergency Services,
Community Development Director Val Christensen, Planning and Zoning Administrator
Gary Leikness, Council Member Stout, Council Member Mann, Council Member Stevens, a
representative from the county and a representative from Sugar City. Planning and Zoning
Administrator Leikness will set up a time for this committee to meet.

Presentations:
Committee Liaison Assignments for 2007:
A. Council Member Chris Mann Museum Committee · Beautification Committee · Emergency Services Board
Council Member Mann met with the Museum Board and other committees where Community
Affairs Director Kristy Geisler spoke about organizing all cultural arts within the city committees.
Council Member Mann also announced Jill Spencer has been hired as the new curator for the Teton
Flood Museum. She will start Monday and will do an excellent job.
The Beautification Committee is going to start meeting again. The next meeting is scheduled for
May 7, 2008 at 3:30 PM. Emergency Services received a safe grant in the amount of $316,000
towards salaries for three additional “budgeted” people. Madison/Fremont County also received an
interoperability grant to help with radio, telephone and other communication devices in the amount
of about $1million dollars. Also, Emergency Services is meeting with the city over the labor
contract tomorrow night.
B. Council Member Rex Erickson Golf Board · Planning & Zoning · Rexburg Redevelopment Agency
Council Member Erickson explained the Golf Board has not met. Planning and Zoning met and
discussed a few items that are on tonight’s agenda.
3
C. Council Member Bart Stevens Airport Board · Romance Theatre Committee · MYAB · School Board
Council Member Stevens said the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Board (MYAB) met to discuss their
next project of “marking” storm drains in the city. The event will include putting stickers on all the
storm drains in the city reminding people not to put hazardous materials in the drain system. There
are about 600 storm drains to be stickered. This event will take place May 3, 2008. Mayor Larsen
invited others groups to participate in this activity to educate the public on storm drain issues.
MYAB is also planning for Rexburg Pride Days which will be April 25, 2008 from 4:00 to 6:00 P.M.
They will be cleaning the trails system by Wingers and Jack in the Box. Free tee shirts will be given
to the first 100 participants. There are also about four or five members of MYAB that will attend
the AIC Conference later this summer.
D. Council Member Randy Schwendiman Parks & Recreation · Traffic & Safety Committee
E. Council Member Richard Woodland Rexburg Arts Council · IBC Committee · Tabernacle Civic Center
Council Member Woodland met with the Tabernacle Committee, they want to replace or rebuild
the window frames. They may need some help financially. They are looking at fundraising (i.e. sell a
window); the window frames would last longer if an aluminum coated material was used. The
estimated cost for improved windows is over $80,000. Council Member Woodland believed
improved windows could pay for themselves in energy savings.
Mayor Larsen would like the city committees to be involved in the budgeting process. The budget
meetings are from the 12th to the 16th of May for committees.
F. Council Member Adam Stout Legacy Flight Museum · Trails of Madison County
Council Member Stout reported the Trails Committee met and they are working on the “Spud
Race” for this summer. The Flight Museum Board is working on the air show. The pilots would
like to have the golf course closed for a couple of hours the night before the event to practice on
June 13, 2008.
Council Member Erickson suggested having a cleaning event to clean the fences along
the canal at the municipal golf course. Mayor Larsen said the Pride Days event on April 25, 2008
would be good time to have a group clean the fence.
Public Hearings: - NONE
New Business:
A. Final Plat – Willow Brook Estates, Division 4
Kirby Forbush at 3800 West 1000 North reviewed the plat on the overhead screen. The
development is about a mile south of 12th West and Main Street. It is the last of five phases
to be completed in the development. The preliminary plat was approved for the entire
development when the first phase was approved. There will be 16 half acre lots in this
phase. Mayor Larsen asked if there was a tie to the development to the east. Mr. Forbush
said the residents in this development did not want the extra traffic through their
neighborhood; however, there is a north exit that will be tied to a future development.
Council Member Erickson confirmed the plan for a future road going north to connect
subdivisions. Council Member Woodland asked if emergency services would have adequate
access to the development. Mr. Forbush explained the master plan to move traffic through
the subdivision. Mayor Larsen asked if there was any ribbon curbing in the RR2 zoned
development. Mr. Forbush said his development does not have any curbing in any of the
final plats. The roads have “low areas” next to the roads for drainage. Mr. Forbush’s
development does not have a storm water system; therefore the storm water is contained on
the individual lots. Council Member Stevens said the reference to ribbon curbing is not for
storm drainage. Ribbon curbing is required to protect the pavement. The City Council
discussed the latest change to the RR2 zone requiring ribbon curbing.

ATTEST:

Shawn Larsen Blair D. Kay
Mayor City Clerk
City Attorney Zollinger explained this phase would require ribbon curbing against the
pavement. The older development’s phases would not be required to have ribbon curbing. Mr.
Forbush asked for the older phases to be grandfathered. Council Member Stevens noted there
were two lots under a half acre. Mr. Forbush indicated those two lots have been fixed so all 16
lots are half acre lots. Council Member Erickson asked when the ribbon curbing was enacted.
Council Member Stevens said it was implemented in the last three months.
Council Member Stevens explained the reasoning for the ribbon curbing is to protect the
pavement. Council Member Erickson discussed the inconsistency of the city to require ribbon
curbing in the middle of the process after the master plan for the preliminary plat. City Attorney
Zollinger explained it is legal to change the requirements; stating “Where do you draw the line?”
The city did the same transition on Millhollow Road. If the development was delayed seven
years before doing phase six, would the city require the ribbon curbing? The city is experiencing
washouts where the pavement is being damaged.
Council Member Erickson questioned the reasoning for changing course in the middle of a
development process after the master plan was approved. City Attorney Zollinger explained the
development was approved in the minutes subject to the city standards, so it is appropriate to
follow the city standards as a development evolves over time. If the city did not notify Mr.
Forbush of the ribbon curbing requirement, it is probably an oversight on the city’s part. Plats
are always approved to be consistent with public works standards. They are implemented
subject to the Public Works Directors approval.
Mayor Larsen indicated when the road is reconstructed at a future date; the ribbon curbing
would be required. Council Member Mann recommended putting in this one section of ribbon
curbing now. Mr. Forbush discussed the possibility of having a uniform look to the subdivision
by putting ribbon curbing throughout the subdivision with an LID. He indicated he brought the
RR2 Zone plan from Ammon. The zone was intended to be applied on level ground where
erosion would not be a problem like on the hill. His development has about two feet of slope
from the east to the west.
5
Mr. Forbush asked if the city would allow an LID to finish the rest of the development that
was constructed without ribbon curbing. Mayor Larsen indicated an LID is always a possibility
upon following the procedure to create an LID. He asked if there was a process to install the
ribbon curbing after a street has been constructed. Mr. Forbush said it can be done with
additional expense. Council Member Stevens said it would be cheaper to install the ribbon
curbing now and then pave it.
Public Works Director Millar asked to require the execution of a development agreement in
conjunction with the plat approval.
Planning and Zoning Administrator Leikness reviewed the Planning and Zoning notes and
conditions for approval. He recommended noting which lot line would be considered the front
yard for the lot because some lots have more than one side against a street. Note: The Planning
and Zoning motion: “subject to lot size corrections and all other staff review concerns”
Council Member Stevens moved to approve the Final Plat for Willow Brook Estates
Division 4 contingent upon the execution of the development agreement as well as ribbon
curbing being put in. Council Member Woodland seconded the motion. All voted aye, none
opposed. The motion carried.
B. Preliminary Plat – Lincoln Park Townhomes
Trevor Einerson resides in the Willowbook Subdivision. He reviewed the Lincoln Townhome
Development plat on the overhead screen. It is located off 5th West and 6th South. They razed a
Laundromat – cinderblock building to do this development. It is an infill project to build inside
the city where the higher density zoning is already in place. The current zoning is MDR1 for 16
units per acre. Two and fifty seven tenths acres would allow 41 units. The code calls for 82
parking stalls; however, they are planning 96 parking stalls. Through their experience, they have
learned parking is very important to a development.
Mr. Einerson thanked their engineers and the city planning employees for assistance in the
layout of the plan. The 10 foot by 20 foot parking stalls will exceed the code size requirement of
9 foot x 18 foot parking stalls. They are improving storm drainage and fire access. Their goal is
to make the neighborhood a nicer place by working with the neighbors to clean things up. This
development has been encouraging to neighbors. Some of them plan to improve their
properties. There is fencing planned around the garbage receptacles. They are planning 37%
green space, 11% sidewalks, 20% buildings and the remaining 32% is for parking, etc. The units
are 1,000 square feet with two bedrooms. Their target market is married families with one or
two children. It is a great infill project.
Mr. Einerson’s company tries to go the extra mile to conform to city standards. They have
worked around existing trees and planted other trees to enhance the project. The road will be
finished to the location where a bridge is planned in the future to cross the canal.
Council Member Erickson said it was a good infill cleanup project on the “Clements
property” where the owners grew produce and apples to sell to the public.
Council Member Erickson moved to approve the Preliminary Plat for Lincoln Park Townhomes
with staff approval. Council Member Stevens seconded the motion.
Discussion: Council Member Stevens asked to include the development agreement, Council
Member Erickson agreed to include the development agreement in his motion; Planning and
Zoning Administrator Leikness reiterated the Planning Commission’s desire to have a design
standard compatible look facing 6th South for the future street. He asked for the back yard
to be designed for streetscape similar to a front yard. It is good planning to plan for the
future even up to 100 years ahead. Council Member Erickson said the parking lot would be
facing the front side of the building on the south side. He didn’t mind having the parking lot
on the front side of the building.
Mayor Larsen asked if a fence would be installed. Discussion: Mr. Einerson said city code
does not allow back yard fencing against a street; however, they would be happy to meet all
of the current design standards. Mr. Einerson referred to another building that stretches for
about 120 feet without a window, etc. on a back wall. He felt this development is a huge
success to improve the neighborhood. He was trying to look out for the tenants, who would
have visitors parking in the visitor parking and having to walk through the kitchen to get to
6
the living room. It is their biggest concern for the homeowners. Planning and Zoning
Administrator Leikness said they have options: 1. Build the front yard on the south side of
the building with a sidewalk, etc. 2. Build a look a-like front yard on the south side. 3. Only
allow limited fencing to exclude fencing for dog runs that would have a back yard look. This
building would be setting the stage for future development along 6th South.
Council Member Mann said if you flip the building around and face the building opposite
the neighbor’s buildings, these occupants may feel isolated from the neighbors. The real
community of this group is facing inward in the development. Planning and Zoning
Administrator Leikness said there can be a balance achieved to maintain the feeling you are
part of the complex.
Council Member Stout asked to clarify if the motion would include language stating the
back yard would look more like a front yard. Council Member Erickson liked the idea of the
building facing inward. Council Member Stevens asked if the motion should have a
condition to disallow storage areas for bikes etc. in the back yard against 6th south. Council
Member Erickson said the same type condition exists on Pioneer Road with a nice vinyl
fence. He wanted the tenant to be able to have a fenced back yard for a dog etc. A nice
vinyl fence down 6th South would look good to him. It should be up to the home owner to
decide if he wants a nice vinyl fenced back yard for child protection, etc. Council Member
Stout liked the idea of allowing a fence in the back yard for child protection, barbeque, etc.
This development is targeting small children. You don’t want an unfenced front yard next to
a road for the children.
Council Member Stevens said the requirements could be in the protective covenants to
maintain a good development. Council Member Erickson said it could be addressed in the
development agreement. Planning and Zoning Administrator Leikness said it is a front yard
no matter how you look at it. Mayor Larsen agreed the issue could be addressed in the
development agreement. Mayor Larsen called for a vote on the motion. All voted aye, none
opposed. The motion carried.
C. Spring Cleanup dates from April 21 to May 30, 2008 – Staff
Public Works Director John Millar explained they are looking to have this year’s spring
cleanup from April 21, 2008 to May 30, 2008. The street department will be picking up yard
debris.
Council Member Erickson moved to accept April 21, 2008 to May 30, 2008 for the spring
clean up dates. Council Member Stout seconded the motion. All voted aye, none opposed.
The motion carried.
Staff Reports:
A. Public Works: John Millar
1. Report on Projects
Public Works Director John Millar passed out a list of the bids that were received for the
Sunrise Sewer Project. 3H Construction was the low bidder with most bids coming in below
the engineers estimate. Public Works Director Millar asked the bid for this project be
awarded to 3H Construction at $522,807.60. This cost will be paid out of utility funds and
repaid with interest as the area develops. Mayor Larsen asked why the engineering estimate
was higher than the bids. Public Works Director Millar said recently bids have come in
higher than the engineers estimate, they were fortunate to have this project come in lower
than expected. This could be due to several factors including companies that are looking for
work right now.
Council Member Stout moved to award the contract to 3H Construction. Council
Member Mann seconded the motion. All voted aye, none opposed. The motion carried.
Other Projects:
LID 38 on 4th North and 3rd East from last year has been started again and is going
well.
4th East by Dr. Crouch’s home will be done this summer
Street patching and sweeping
7
Pouring concrete at the animal shelter
Public Works Director Millar said the goal is to get projects from last year that have not
yet been completed finished as soon as possible.
Council Member Erickson asked about the promise that was made to those in the
Cresthaven subdivision to get curb and gutter done. Public Works Director Millar said this is
a minor project that will be done as soon as weather permits. It is one of the first projects to
complete this summer.
Council Member Mann asked if residents at Sunrise Drive are aware of the project that will
be starting this summer for the new storm-sewer project. Public Works Director Millar will
make sure residents are aware of this construction.
Mayor Larsen asked how the project on 7th South to Harvest Heights is going. Public
Works Director Millar said they are just waiting for spring to arrive. It is also committed that
this is one of the first projects to be completed this summer.
The City Council will do their yearly drive around on May 7, 2008. Mayor Larsen would like
Public Works Director Millar to join the City Council on this drive around.
B. Finance Department: Chief Financial Officer Horner
1. Monthly Budget Summary Report
Finance Officer Horner reviewed the monthly budget summary report ending March 31,
2008. He explained this concludes 50% of the budget year. There are a few departments
over 50% because of capital items that were a onetime expense.
Finance Officer Horner said we sold a fully functional car to the City of Driggs. City
Attorney Stephen Zollinger explained the City of Driggs was looking for a fully functional
car. Usually when a car is sold it is not fully functional because radios, cameras, etc. are kept.
Because Rexburg has been transitioning to a new camera system which allows for multiple
direction video, the car was sold with the old camera system still installed. It was a good
transaction for both Rexburg and Driggs.
Council Member Erickson said everything seems to be escalating in cost; however the
funding may be down. Finance Officer Horner explained because the city does not rely on
income tax this will not affect Rexburg. The AIC forecast shows an increase in sales tax and
gas tax which shows Rexburg will either stay even or will have a slight increase. Finance
Officer Horner explained he looks at the AIC forecast very closely each year before budgets
are made.
Council Member Mann moved to approve and accept the monthly budget summary
report. Council Member Woodland seconded the motion. All voted aye, none opposed.
The motion carried.
Calendared Bills and Tabled Items:
A. BILL Introductions: - NONE
B. First Reading: Those items which are being introduced for first reading.
1. Ordinance 1004 authorizing registered warrants for LID 35 – Richard Horner
Finance Officer Horner explained Ordinance 1004 is authorizing registered warrants for
LID 35. This ordinance will close LID 35 out by approving the final costs. The total cost
for LID 35 was $423,000 with the city financing about $350,000.
2. Ordinance 1005 authorizing registered warrants for LID 38 – Richard Horner
8
Finance Officer Horner explained Ordinance 1005 is authorizing registered warrants for
LID 38 so the final costs can be approved and it can be closed out. The total cost for LID
38 was $87,000 with the city financing about $75,000.
Finance Officer Horner explained it is better to finance a little short so if people pay off
their portion of the LID, the city doesn’t go in the hole paying the additional interest.
Council Member Stevens moved to waive the rules for Ordinances 1004 and 1005.
Council Member Woodland seconded the motion. Roll call vote:
Those voting aye Those voting nay
Adam Stout NONE
