(action) – Bron Leatham Chairman Rory Kunz opened the public input portion of the hearing at 6:41p.m. Applicant Presentation – Bron Leatham – 2535 Little town Dr. – Last year he came in and did a big Comprehensive Plan and Rezone of about 20 acres that wraps around the old Wal-Mart on its north and east side. The land can be accessed on Lorene Street just past the Westmark Credit Union. The land was rezoned to Medium-Density Residential 2 (MDR2). Westmark had this parcel as part of their lot, but they are not using it. Since Bron is developing the land next to this parcel, he did not want to leave an island and approached Westmark to acquire that property. He is just looking to change the Comprehensive Plan and the zoning to match the adjacent land. Commissioner Questions: None 1 | Page Staff Report: Planning & Zoning Administrator, Alan Parkinson – Staff has looked at this request and Staff feels the change is matching the patterns of change in the area. Storm drainage needs to be contained on site. A Traffic Impact Study has been completed and the Developer will share those costs for reimbursement. The sewer service line has limited capacity; the City is working on a plan to increase capacity to accommodate the changes in this area. Sugar City’s needed capacity is prompting this plan. Staff recommends approval of this request. Commissioner Questions for Staff: Greg Blacker asked about the road connection of Lorene into the Stonebridge subdivision. Alan answered part of the project is this connecting road.
