City Hall Roll Call of Council Members: Attending: Council President Mann, Council Member Benfield, Council Member Sutherland, Council Member Merrill, Council Member Smith, Council Member Busby and Mayor Woodland. Mayor Woodland welcomed everyone to the meeting. He welcomed Troop 306 to the meeting. Wynn Robinson led the Pledge to the Flag. Leo Flores said the prayer. Public Comment: on issues not scheduled on the agenda (limit 3 minutes) Blake Willis at 610 Autumn Drive was concerned with the current city parking ordinance. He would like to encourage the Mayor and City Council to change the current PEZ Zone parking. Beforehand the city required a 1:1 parking ratio at apartment complexes but now it has been lowered because of the PEZ Zone parking and now some apartment complexes have less than 30 to 40 percent parking. The campus average is 70 to 80 percent of the students that bring cars to school. He explained that those apartment complexes that paid for parking before the PEZ Zone parking are now being penalized because students now park on the street. He asked the City to change the parking requirement to no overnight parking or to require some type of university permit during the day. Parking is very expensive and those who paid for parking at their complex are being penalized because the parking is no longer being used by the students. Council President Mann acknowledged the problem and concern. He said something does have to be done to help correct the parking problems. Council Member Sutherland agreed with Council President Mann. Council President Mann explained that the college, the Rexburg Police Department, and the city should meet on the issue to figure out a solution. Tasha Alva at 272 Pollard asked about the agenda process. She said it would have been helpful to have last week’s P&Z minutes available online before this meeting. She asked that the agendas be available earlier so that the public can come informed with the minutes and agendas ahead of time.

Council Member Sutherland said the cost will not exceed $72,900; however, broadband is extremely important to the community to attract new business. Council Member Benfield asked for an explanation of the services derived from the study. Council Member Sutherland explained the study will investigate the best option to bring in broadband; either public, private or a combination. This company has had experience in Virginia’s University towns. There were over ten companies solicited for the study. It is a communication supper highway for the future. Council Member Sutherland amended the motion to approve the study; however, the final funding must be approved by the City Council; Council Member Smith seconded the amended motion; Mayor Woodland asked for a vote: Those voting aye Those voting nay Council President Mann None Council Member Benfield Council Member Merrill Council Member Smith Council Member Sutherland Council Member Busby The motion carried Public Hearing: NONE Items for Consideration: A. Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment – Approximately 245 West 1st North – Moderate-High Density Residential and Light Industrial to Neighborhood Commercial/Mixed Use Mayor Woodland opened the discussion on the proposal for public comment: Presentation by applicant: Cory Sorensen at 154 S 3rd W representing Tru-North Development reviewed the Comprehensive Plan Map on the overhead screen. They are back with changes to push the project forward due to neighborhood concerns. They are asking for a Comprehensive Plan Map change on three properties on 1st North; (two properties from Moderate-High Density Residential and one property from Light Industrial to Neighborhood Commercial/Mixed Use). The reason is to compliment the professional overlay on adjoining properties. The property is all vacant except for 4 Wolf Lighting and the property is over five acres in size. He showed pictures of the properties on the overhead screen. Written correspondence: On file at City Hall. Facts to offer into the record by City Council members: NONE Public Testimony neutral to the proposal (5 minute limit): NONE Public Testimony opposed to the proposal (5 minute limit): NONE Rebecca Hansen at 57 N 3rd W, across from the vacant property, explained that Mr. Sorenson has proposed the comprehensive map change to achieve his MU2 zoning change that was denied in the past. She explained that the City Council found the project to be too large when it was last proposed and now it is of greater magnitude. She felt that if the comprehensive map change is approved then it will make her neighborhood more vulnerable to developers. She asked for the comprehensive map change to be denied. Frank Hadry at 23 N 3rd W agreed with Rebecca Hansen. Mr. Hadry asked the mayor if it would be appropriate to ask everyone in the room that is opposed to the change to stand. Mayor Woodland said it was fine. Most people in the audience agreed by standing. Gary Taylor at 63 N 3rd W explained that it has been said that something must be done to the property but nothing has been there for 35 years and the property has been just fine. He said that those who stood up agree that they don’t want something this big. He felt that it will ruin the neighborhood and take away from the houses. He further indicated that the City Council is their elected officials. They can’t stop it; however, the City Council can stop it. They live their but the developers do not. He asked them to say no. He believes his property value will go down. He explained that a friend cannot sell his house because of the main street station complex built next to it. He asked for the City Council to support their voice and to say no. Rebuttal by applicant: Cory Sorensen indicated this proposal is only for the three properties on 1st North and that it is a comprehensive map change hearing. A vote for comprehensive map change was allowed on the south properties and now he has proposed the three additional properties. Mr. Sorensen clarified 5 that it is not a zoning change but a comprehensive map change. They have procured more properties to try to do all in their power to buffer the street and the neighbors. There will be a traffic study ordered to show that the traffic will not affect the residents as much. Staff: Community Development Director Val Christensen said it was real important to limit the discussion to the Comprehensive Plan request. He explained the Comprehensive Plan is a planning tool. This tool does not give property rights; it is only a planning tool. Moderate to High Residential land use is the current plan. He reviewed some of the property as Light Industrial. On Main Street, businesses are allowed to have residents above businesses in this Neighborhood Commercial Mixed Use land designation. The change in the Comprehensive Plan Map is to match the existing plan on the Main Street’s mixed use zone. He said the current planned land use designation allows for a 55 foot building in two of the current land use designations. The current zoning allows for medium density, low density, and light industrial. He wanted to keep the discussion around the Comprehensive Plan proposal and address the zoning in another discussion. The mixed use designation will be complimentary to Main Street planning. The change will allow Wolf Light to stay in compliance with current land designations. Council Member Merrill clarified the change in the Comprehensive Plan is to have the whole plot of land as one cohesive unit rather than having land that is Light Industrial, Medium to High Density, and Mixed Use. Community Development Director Christensen explained the density of the development can be accomplished in either Comprehensive Plan. The purpose is really to keep the Mixed Use ability on Main Street. This is by far the best proposal for this property to keep Main Street viable and limit spot zoning. Mayor Woodland explained this proposal is housekeeping work. Community Development Director Christensen indicated this Comprehensive Plan change is not a large issue. The real question is will the city change the zoning. Council Member Sutherland said this proposal is more limiting verses the current land use designations. It will be fewer units with this proposal and allow some future commercial components; i.e. more options. Community Development Director Christensen explained it will allow more options in terms of adding commercial or residential and allows for more density. He explain that it is to clean up the rest of the properties added to what was already changed in the Comprehensive Plan by City Council. Mayor Woodland closed the comment period for deliberations: Mayor Woodland indicated it is a house keeping proposal to finish out the process. They have gone this direction before and this will just allow the properties to stay uniform in this block. Council Member Merrill moved to approve the Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment (Resolution 2012 – 08) at approximately 245 West 1st North from Moderate-High Density Residential and Light Industrial to Neighborhood Commercial/Mixed Use; Council Member Sutherland seconded the motion; Discussion: Mayor Woodland asked for a vote: Those voting aye Those voting nay Council Member Merrill Council President Mann Council Member Smith Council Member Busby Council Member Sutherland Council Member Benfield Mayor Woodland voted to approve the change.

He further clarified the purpose of a public hearing is to bring to light new or additional comments, letters, evidence, or opinions. 15 City Clerk Blair Kay indicated the city does have on file the petition and letters from the neighborhood. Council Member Smith clarified the discussion was to decide whether or not to continue with the public hearing at the moment.

D. Conditional Use Permit - Adams Elementary School, 110 North 2nd East – to keep a portable classroom Russell Wilson at 3208 Hart in Idaho Falls (Director of Operations for Madison School District) indicated he is in support of the recommendation from Planning and Zoning for the Conditional Use Permit. He reviewed the proposal to keep a double wide portable class room at Adams Elementary School. They have added two classrooms onto Adams School last year. The double wide has been rented out to a preschool last year. The Madison School District is growing between a 100 and 150 students each year. Over the last 10 years the school district has grown by 1,000 students. Current history shows growth of 100 students per year. The growth of the University indicates more growth too. These modular portable 22 class rooms have been used to accommodate the growth. It costs about $25,000 to move a modular class room; therefore they are asking to keep the modular class room. They have requested this in order not to incur the cost of moving the portable class room at this time. Council Member Merrill asked if the Madison School District currently has a need for this portable class room at Adams Elementary. Mr. Wilson explained they do not want to move it twice. They currently do not have a place to move it where they would need it. They are adding five class rooms to the Burton Elementary School. There is a major need at the Madison Junior High school which is currently at capacity. Planning and Zoning approved the extension of this class room at Adams School for one year. They are currently planning on making the structure more portable where they can move them easier with less expense. Council Member Merrill asked about the person owning the property behind the structure and if the owner is troubled by it. Mr. Wilson explained the adjoining property is being encumbered by a two foot strip owned by the adjoining property owner. There is only eight feet of setback on the schools property and a ten foot setback is needed. They have been in contact with the owner to obtain an easement. Council President Mann asked if the temporary structure is compliant at this time. Mr. Wilson explained they are out of compliance in the fact that they do not have a ten foot setback to the property line. That is why they are seeking to obtain an easement with the adjoining property. Council President Mann explained the adjacent property owner came to him with the concern that there was a nursery basically in their back yard. Council President Mann asked if they would be willing to build a privacy fence to buffer the neighbor. Community Development Director Christensen said it is a building code violation issue. If the city allows the non-compliance of the building code, it causes a liability issue for the city. Council President Mann asked if there was security for the portable building. Mr. Wilson clarified only the Madison High School building has the lock down security. Council Member Merrill added that the Planning and Zoning minutes explained an approval with conditions on the Conditional Use Permit. Proposed Conditions of Approval 12 00128 – CUP Adams Elementary School 12 00129 CUP Madison Middle School 1. The Adams Elementary School Modular Classroom must meet the set-back requirements in the City Ordinance. 2. Any Third-Party or other businesses within the modular classrooms will not be allowed. Thaine Robinson amended his motion to include a third condition. Richie Webb seconded the amended motion. 3. The Planning and Zoning Commission along with representatives from the City will meet with the Madison School District representatives to work out an agreement for future handling of the temporary mobile Modular Classrooms. Mr. Wilson asked for the condition to be removed to allow the revenue to buy school supplies. He questioned the authority of the city to limit the rental of the building. The revenue affects the schools budget. Council Member Smith was concerned with the liability if the building was out of compliance. Mr. Wilson explained if they do not obtain the easement then they will move the building two feet. They have committed to move the building two feet to come into compliance if needed. 23 Thaine Robinson at 390 Maple Dr. from the Planning and Zoning Commission explained the Planning and Zoning Commission disliked that the building was being used for rent and as a business. Council Member Busby asked if it was just a one year Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Wilson clarified they are asking for a one year extension on the Conditional Use Permit. Council Member Busby moved to approve the Conditional Use Permit at Adams Elementary School, located at 110 North 2nd East to keep a portable classroom for one year; Council Member Benfield seconded the motion; Discussion: Mayor Woodland asked for a vote: Those voting aye Those voting nay Council Member Busby Council President Mann Council Member Benfield Council Member Merrill Council Member Smith Council Member Sutherland The motion carried City Attorney Zollinger pointed out that the Conditional Use Permit had a condition to not allow the school district the ability to rent the structure out to a third party for a business. He informed the City Council that the rental of the building is contrary to the city ordinance which was made to allow the school district to have such a structure and not a third party. Attorney Zollinger explained the Planning and Zoning Commission felt that if the structure is not in use by the school but is being rented out to a third party, then there is no more need for the structure as it was intended to be used. Council Member Smith wanted clarification on the three conditions from Planning and Zoning on the proposal. Russell Wilson explained the three conditions to be: (1) to meet the setback requirements, (2) no third party businesses, (3) to have a joint meeting to solve the problem. Council Member Benfield said third party rental is not allowed in that zone. City Attorney Zollinger explained it is not allowed but if it were a pre-school operated by the Madison School District, it would be allowed for that zone. Varr Snedaker from Madison School District asked why it is different to rent the portable class room if they use the building for after school programs. City Attorney Zollinger clarified the main use of the building is intended for the third party business. If the main use of the building were for Adams Elementary School then it would be okay. He reviewed the history of the portable class rooms at Adams School and Madison Middle School. It is only a management question if the school is using the temporary building for a rental business. Discussion on making the temporary class rooms portable. Council Member Smith moved to disallow the rental of the building by the Madison School District and meet with the Madison School District to find a way to make the building portable for use at other schools by June 30th , 2013; Council Member Merrill seconded the motion; Mayor Woodland asked for a vote: Those voting aye Those voting nay Council President Mann Council Member Busby Council Member Benfield Council Member Merrill Council Member Smith Council Member Sutherland The motion carried E.

The red section is the easement deed where the road access will be constructed. He asked for City Council support to construct a road on the easement in perpetuity. An agreement will be created for City Council approval. Council President Mann reviewed the city’s portion of the project. He asked who would build the access that Merrill Rudd wants from the street to their property. Public Works Director John Millar explained the city would do the street and a pathway on the north side of the easement and they would build the access to their property. Council Member Busby moved to approve the easement/warranty deed for the 2nd access into Riverside Park with the Merrill & Jlene Rudd Trust; Council Member Merrill seconded the motion; Discussion: Council Member Smith asked Public Works Director Millar for clarification on what the red and blue meant.
