Council Member Christopher Mann: Golf Board · Emergency Services Board · MYAB Council Member Mann reported the Golf Board met last night. He was at the BYU-I Ag Center with council so he was not able to attend. The Golf Board would like to rename the Municipal Golf Course to Legacy Golf Course to tie in with the Legacy Flight Museum on the same road. The signs would both be together – Legacy Golf Course and Legacy Flight Museum. The new name would need to be okayed with the Legacy Flight Museum. The backup name would be Evergreen Golf Course. Council Member Mann thinks the Legacy name would tie in good with the flight museum. He said they are both treasures of Rexburg and promoting them together is a good idea.

APPROVED: ____________________________________ ATTEST: Richard S. Woodland MAYOR _______________________________ Blair D. Kay CITY CLERK Mayor Woodland asked for ratification of Proclamation 2015-05 for “Our Veterans – Now and Forever” Day. Council Member Wolfe moved to ratify Proclamation 2015-05 for “Our Veterans – Now and Forever” Day; Council Member Smith seconded the motion; Mayor Woodland asked for a vote: Those voting aye Those voting nay Council President Smith None Council Member Benfield Council Member Mann Council Member Merrill Council Member Wolfe The motion carried Public Hearings: None Items for Consideration: A. Bill 1137 - Rezone – 228, 230, 232 South 4th West; & 251, 265, 273 South 5th West from Light Industrial (LI)and Medium Density Residential 2 (MDR2) to High Density Residential 1 (HDR1) – Jared Sommer Jared Sommer of Rexburg presented his plans for the property on 5th West. He currently has apartments on the property that are for married students of BYU-I. There has been concern about traffic if he were to increase the number of apartments. There has not been a traffic problem so far. 4 He is proposing to add some more apartments to the existing property. He would provide ingress only from 4th West. The rezone would allow three more identical buildings or 63 units. They would be the same design as the first apartments. The conditions listed by Planning & Zoning would be met. He referred to notes from previous meetings. He never stated that he would be doing two story buildings. He also said that he would tear down the cinder block building that used to be Barrick’s Candy business. He actually would like to reface that building and use it for storage. It is 5,000 square feet. It could also be a community center for ward parties, etc. but having storage space is critical. The new buildings would be three stories high. Council Member Merrill asked if there were minutes from Planning & Zoning stating the conditions. He was referred to those. Mr. Sommer said that they have plenty of parking. They did that on purpose so they would not run into trouble like other apartments have experienced. Council President Smith asked why he needs the HDR 1 Zoning. He said because he just needs more units. The zone would also benefit the look and make it more complete. He knew that he would ask for a denser zone from the beginning but wanted to wait to show how well the first phase would work out. Council Member Merrill stated that he lives in that neighborhood. He decided to do his own traffic study. He parked by the Henderson Subdivision to see what traffic was like. He went at 7:30 am as though school would be in session. He counted 136 vehicles just going through. That’s not counting if school was in session. 60 percent of traffic was going north past Kennedy School. Out of the apartments owned by Mr. Sommer, he counted 25 vehicles. There is a worn trail where people walk across the tracks toward campus. He agrees that traffic does not seem to be a problem. The Henderson Subdivision will have more teenage drivers but those apartments probably never will because they are for primarily young newly married couples. He thinks what Jared is saying is correct. His only concern is that it has a nice landscape buffer. He would like him to have consideration for the neighbors and make it look nice. He feels that we need to be careful not to limit businesses so much that down the road they can’t keep their property up. He wants them to be successful so that in turn they will keep their property looking nice. Another thing is that most of the investors in these apartments are local and that is good. That bodes well for the apartment complex because local investors will want to keep them up and looking good. He doesn’t see any reason to not approve this rezone. Mr. Sommer said that Planning & Zoning would like him to increase the buffer and landscape and he understands that. He would like to add some nice brick to the existing building. There is a drainage problem that he also needs to address. He will have to add a french drain to the front but once that is done he will beautify the front area. Community Development Compliance Officer Powell reviewed the rezoning proposal: She indicated Planning and Zoning recommended the proposal. She reviewed the infill chart showing the ranking of redevelopment properties. The area is 5.82 acres. She reviewed the criteria set forth by Planning and Zoning. 5 The property is sandwiched between 5th West and the railroad tracks. Staff Report: II. SITE DESCRIPTION The total area involved in this re-zoning request is identified as approximately 5.82 acres, which if approved will result in changing the zone from Light Industrial and Medium Density Residential 2 (MDR2) to High Density Residential 1 (HDR1). III. ANALYSIS If approved, this rezone will result in changing Light Industrial and Medium Density Residential 2 to High Density Residential 1. The request would require the Commission and City Council to review the proposal against one set of criteria, for the request to rezone. Below, staff has provided all the criteria listed by Ordinance No. 1115 (Development Code) that are required to be addressed, followed by staff’s analysis of each criterion. Criteria Rezone Requests (§6.13): a. Be in conformance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and the City Development Code. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the land use designation for the property as Moderate to High Density Residential. The HDR1 zone is allowed under this designation. b. The capacity of existing public streets, water and sewer facilities, storm drainage facilities, solid waste collection and disposal, and other utilities. The City Engineer did not have concerns. c. The capacity of existing public services, including but not limited to, public sa fety services, public emergency services, schools, and parks and recreational services. The City Engineer did not have concerns. d. The potential for nuisances or health and safety hazards that may adversely affect adjoining properties. Staff has reviewed and does not feel the change will have a negative effect. Planning and Zoning’s Motion: “Tisha Flora motioned to recommend to the City Council approval of a rezone from Light Industrial (LI) and Medium Density Residential 2 (MDR2) to High Density Residential 1 (HDR1), for the property located at 228, 230, 232 South 4th West; and 251, 265, 273 South 5th West with the four following conditions: 1. The existing green (Barrick) building on South 5th West on the subject property shall be beautified and resurfaced as stated tonight by the applicant. 6 2. Buildings shall be a maximum of 30 feet in height. 3. An architectural design review meeting shall be held to address having a significant landscape buffer, especially along South 5th West. 4. A P&Z Commissioner who was present at this meeting tonight shall be a participant in this design review meeting to address this buffer. Mark Rudd seconded the motion. None opposed. Motion carried.” Council Member Merrill asked about the bridge on the back side. Mr. Sommer said it is an ingress only bridge for cars going into the apartments. Council Member Wolfe mentioned that Planning & Zoning spent a lot of time trying to appease everyone. He thinks they did a very good job. He would like to clarify that the desire of Planning & Zoning is that the landscape buffer being added to the new part also continue down to the old part as well. Council Member Wolfe asked if all the conditions would have to be met before a Certificate of Occupancy would be issued. Attorney Zollinger said, yes, that is a new policy. Council President Smith commented that these neighbors have lived across from industrial so she believes they hoped this would be an improvement. She knows that Mr. Sommer’s mom had a passion for beauty. She believes there are simple things that can be done to make the project fit in with the neighborhood better. She would like to see the property fit into the area and be pleasant to look at. Council Member Mann asked for a reply from Mr. Sommer regarding Council Member Wolfe’s request. Mr. Sommer said that he can add additional landscape. He knows that the neighbors have beautiful yards and he would like to fit in with that and not detract from that beauty. Council Member Wolfe read the third condition to have a significant landscape buffer. Mayor Woodland asked for anyone from that neighborhood to speak. Cleve Young spoke for the neighborhood. He doesn’t understand why it has to be high density. He feels like they have been ignored. He feels like living on the west side of the tracks is taking on a new meaning. He thinks sometimes the investments get in the way of what is really important. He sees the need for development but is not sure why it can’t still be medium density. He wants to be sure that the old building will be improved. He just doesn’t think the development needs to be so big. Council Member Mann said that the problem with South 5th West is that it has two bad ends. Yellowstone on one end and the elementary school on the other end. He believes that there is a real problem with water coming down off the hill. He feels that growth without proper infrastructure is a problem and that HDR1 zoning is just too high for that area. Council Member Benfield said that she doesn’t want anyone to feel like they live on the wrong side of the tracks. Council Member Mann also said that people walking across the tracks concerns him. Mayor Woodland asked for a motion; Council Member Wolfe moved to rezone 228, 230, 232 South 4th West; & 251, 265, 273 South 5th West from Light Industrial (LI)and Medium Density Residential 2 (MDR2) to High Density Residential 1 (HDR1) as discussed with the following conditions and consider BILL 1137 first read; Council Member Merrill seconded the motion; Mayor Woodland asked for a vote: Conditions: 1. The existing green (Barrick) building on South 5th West on the subject property shall be beautified and resurfaced as stated tonight by the applicant. 2. Buildings shall be a maximum of 30 feet in height. 7 3. An architectural design review meeting shall be held to address having a significant landscape buffer, especially along South 5th West. 4. A P&Z Commissioner who was present at this meeting tonight shall be a participant in this design review meeting to address this buffer. 5.

Those voting aye Those voting nay Council President Smith Council Member Mann Council Member Benfield Council Member Wolfe Council Member Merrill The motion carried B. Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a Hotel at approximately 1300 South 12th West – Jeremiah Bigelow Mr. Bigelow from Ririe explained that he came to council a year and half ago and the council rejected his proposal for a hotel by Evergreen Park. The city worked out a land swap with Mr. Bigelow, giving him a piece of land by Rainbow Lake on 2000 South in exchange for the property by Evergreen Park. Now he comes to request a Conditional Use Permit to build a hotel at the property he acquired at 12th West and 2000 South. He was a little sad that the city wasn’t planning on widening and improving that section of road but that he would have to do it himself. It’s an expense that he wouldn’t have had on the other property. He has had great success with the Motel 6 he built in Idaho Falls. He is very pleased with the Motel 6 brand. They have improved over the years. The new design of the Motel 6 is nice. He doesn’t like the flat roof but he does like the lit up tower. The city infrastructure and power is already there. Council Member Smith asked if he is sure about doing a Motel 6. He said he’s not sure, yet. People like a name brand motel. Council Member Smith said that he is going to have to put a sidewalk in. He would like to see the whole sidewalk put in at once. He wishes the city would do that. Council Member Smith pointed out that he did get a bigger parcel in the swap. Mayor Woodland said he would like to see a Motel 6 here. Mr. Bigelow asked how the road widening works. Is it a onetime deal? Attorney Zollinger said that it will be pieced but then an overlay will pull it all together. Mr. Bigelow asked if the grade of the road will stay the same. City Engineer Davidson said they will have to look at how the curb and gutter tie in. Council Member Benfield asked how many rooms the Motel would have. He wasn’t sure but the Motel they built in Idaho Falls has 62 rooms. Some more thought will go into it as they decide on two or three story and do a market analysis. He likes 60 rooms but may go up to 80. Council Member Benfield asked what the prices will be. Mr. Bigelow said $63 per room for a single bed. The suites are $80 to $90. He pointed out that the property has enough room for another motel or maybe a Studio 6 for longer stays. There’s not much extended stay here. Council Member Benfield said we are up 19.8 percent from last year for lodging. Public Works Staff Review Comments Conditional Use Permit Application File #15 00311 – Jeremiah Bigelow Requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a hotel. Property Location: Approximately 1300 South 12th West 1. Right of way will need to be dedicated to City of Rexburg for 12th West and 2000 South. 2. Entrance at southeast corner too close to intersection. 3. 12th West and 2000 South will need to be widened and sidewalk installed. 8 Community Development Department Staff Report I. BACKGROUND The applicant originally applied for a conditional use permit (CUP) for a property located on Main Street east of the new Maverick and adjacent to the City soccer fields and Evergreen Park. The CUP was denied and the City worked with the applicant to purchase the land to expand the existing fields. In the process the City Attorney worked with the applicant to find this new piece of property to construct a motel. II. SITE DESCRIPTION The subject property is located on the Northwest corner of West 2000 South and South 12th West. Case No. 15 00311 III. ANALYSIS The following are the criteria for granting a conditional use permit. Some of the criteria are followed by staff’s analysis. A conditional use will: a. Constitute a conditional use as established in Table 1, Zoning Districts, Table 2, Land Use Schedule. A CUP is required for a motel or motor hotel in the Community Business Center (CBC) zone. b. Be in accordance with a specific or general objective of the City’s Comprehensive Plan and the regulations of the City of Rexburg Development Code. Comprehensive Plan 9 The request is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. Development Code (Ordinance 1115) Community Business Center (CBC) allows a motel/motor hotel with a Conditional Use Permit. c. Be designed and constructed in a manner to be harmonious with the existing character of the neighborhood and the zone in which the property is located. This project will have to meet City of Rexburg Design Standards. The existing businesses in the area include a carpet store, storage sheds and a farm implement dealer. d. Not create a nuisance or safety hazard for neighboring properties in terms of excessive noise or vibration, improperly directed glare or heat, electrical interference, odors, dust or air pollutants, solid waste generation and storage, hazardous materials or waste, excessive traffic generation, or interference with pedestrian traffic. Regarding glare, heat, electrical interference, dust, air pollutants, noise, vibration, odors: Adherence to City standards should prevent these impacts from becoming a nuisance. The City Engineer did not have concerns with the additional traffic that would be generated. e. Be adequately served by essential public facilities and services such as acce ss streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer service, and schools. If existing facilities are not adequate, the developer shall show that such facilities shall be upgraded sufficiently to serve the proposed use. The City Engineer has identified the need for right-of-way dedication and the need to change the location of the exit closest to the intersection of 2000 South and 12th West. Case No. 15 00311 f. Not generate traffic in excess of the capacity of public streets or access points serving the proposed use and will assure adequate visibility at traffic access points. The City Engineer identified a need to change the location of the exit closest to the intersection of 2000 South and 12th West. g. Be effectively buffered to screen adjoining properties from adverse impacts of noise, building size and resulting shadow, traffic, and parking. The project is surrounded by commercial property. Staff does not see the need for additional buffering. The Development Code ordinance requires parking lot buffering from right-of-way views. h. Be compatible with the slope of the site and the capacity of the soils and will not be in an area of natural hazards unless suitably designed to protect lives and property. N/A i. Not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a historic feature of significance to the community of Rexburg. N/A IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Commission take public testimony, and determine if the proposed conditional use permit can be approved with the following conditions: 1. Provide right-of-way dedication and change the location of the exit closest to the intersection of 2000 South and 12th West. Discussion Mayor Woodland asked for a motion; Council Member Mann moved to approve the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a hotel at approximately 1300 South 12th West; Council Member Merrill seconded the motion; Conditions: 10 1. Right of way will need to be dedicated to City of Rexburg for 12th West and 2000 South. 2. Entrance at southeast corner too close to intersection. 3. 12th West and 2000 South will need to be widened and sidewalk installed. The Standards Applicable to Conditional Use Permits, Section 6.12B from Development Code Ordinance No.1115 applies to all conditional use permits.

Public Works: – City Engineer Davidson reported that they just finished the slurry seal project throughout the city. Mayor Woodland said he noticed a gully in the south bound lane on 2nd East between 2nd South and 3rd South. Council Member Merrill noticed the same thing on 5th West. Mr. Davidson said that is a problem with seal coats but over time it starts smoothing out. He reported that the 2nd North project will be paved starting tomorrow. Workers on the Riverside Park project have started on the sprinkler system. Council Member Merrill asked about the lights at Riverside Park. He wondered if it would be wiser to put lights on the soccer fields rather than the parking lot. Mr. Davidson said that the lights will be directed towards to field. Mayor Woodland asked about the project on Main Street by the court house and how much longer that will be. Mr. Davidson said they are putting in a fiber optic line that should be done soon. The Cresthaven project is looking good. Engineer Davidson reported on the bid results for the Main Street Improvement Project which is to add a sidewalk along the golf course as well as sprinklers and sod. It also includes sidewalk under the South interchange. Bid Results for Main Street Improvement Project D.L. Beck $ 124,390.00 Depatco, Inc. $ 146,890.00 Engineer’s Estimate $ 85,000.00 Engineer Davidson explained that the bids came in higher than expected. Some of the cost increase came from sidewalk insulation and back fill. They estimated $7.50/sq. yard and it actually came in at $20.00/sq. yard . It may be an indication of where we are at in the season and traffic control that will be needed on Main Street. The state has committed to match up to $50,000 so that drops the price down. Council Member Mann asked if we should consider waiting and rebidding it. Mr. Davidson doesn’t think there would be any improvement on bids and he doesn’t want to lose out on the state funds. Discussion: Council Member Mann moved to approve the low bid of $124,390 for the Main Street Improvement Project; Council Member Benfield seconded the motion; Mayor Woodland asked for a vote: Those voting aye Those voting nay Council President Smith None Council Member Benfield Council Member Mann Council Member Wolfe Council Member Merrill The motion carried B.
