Mike made a motion to approve the minutes of December 13. Motion was seconded by Ted, all
voted aye, none opposed.
John Watson expressed thanks to Roger and Gary for their service on the Planning & Zoning
Commission. Roger is taking office as County Commissioner and Gary Steiner will be moving
from the area. They will be replaced by Glenn Walker and Mike Ricks.
John Watson reviewed the procedure for public hearings to all those in attendance.
Public Hearing Comprehensive Plan
John Millar explained the Comprehensive Plan as it presently is and has been for many years.
This is the first major revision, some areas have been discussed earlier and due to some
procedural problems they will go through this process again. The areas for discussion are
numbered as follows:
1. The area at the City Business Park which has been in existence for many years.
The actual park would be zoned with commercial being on the front lots fronting Salem
Highway, the back portion adjacent to the railroad tracks being industrial. This would bring the
Comprehensive Plan into the way the park was anticipated and zoned when annexed.
No further public comment.
Ted made a motion to approve recommendation for this request to go to City Council for public
hearing. Motion was seconded by Bobbette. All voted aye, none opposed.
Public comment was called for on Item 4. This area lies between Main Street and lst North and
between 4' and 5th West with a request to be changed from the current single family residential
to allow for commercial development in that block.
Stan Taylor - 420 W. 1St North
Stan purchased his home about 4 years ago. Since then he has a back view of a wrecking yard,
he now has a front view of U -haul trucks plus box cars. He feels if this is changed to
commercial it will greatly depreciate the value of the homes and he is requesting that this zoning
stay the way it is. He presented a petition with the signatures of the neighbors which was read
into the record requesting this change be denied.
Graydon Burton - 416 W. Main
Graydon purchased his home approximately 3 years before the flood. It was zoned residential
and there were neighbors on either side. At the time of purchase there was a small one man
commercial shop, he went home at night, there was not a lot of fuss. Graydon presented
pictures he had taken this morning showing all the vehicles, some wrecked and being worked on,
and U -haul trucks. There are trucks being worked on at 11:00 in the evening with lights on,
there are cement trucks running early in the mornings right against the fence by the houses of the
neighbors. There are wrecked vehicles being hauled in, big container boxes for storage sitting
around. All the neighbors are concerned with what is happening there. He encourages the Board
to give consideration to those people who own land in this area.
Travis lhler - Beehive Homes Owner
In behalf of the residents in Beehive Homes he would like to request that this change be denied.
Even though some may consider this business commercial, it is residential for the residents
living there.
Naomi Kington - 477 W. 1 St North
Naomi referred to the pictures which have been shown and the home right next to all the U -haul
trucks and the large containers is where she lives. They are all right against her fence and she
sees nothing else. The trucks come in between her home and the home of Martha Covington,
they make noise and bang around a lot. The containers are full of items like snowmobiles and
the like.
D. J. Barney - owner of the property in question
D. J. is requesting this zone change to commercial. The property they purchased from Jack
Covington has some grandfather rights. U -hauls are parked there for rental and he has no place
else to park them, they are not rented from this location but he has a contract for towing and
G
repair of the trucks. They have a contract with High Valley to repair the concrete trucks. As far
as the wrecked vehicles he has a towing business and is bound by law to keep these vehicles for
a 60 day time period. The burned out trailers he would just as soon have them gone but they are
tied up in legal battle and he is bound to keep them. These abandoned vehicles they haul for the
City and County have to go somewhere. He has a contact that has put earnest money to do some
repairs to the building that will provide a different commercial use there and he feels the
property has been cleaned up considerably.
He has currently put up a 2000 linear foot fence that goes around a portion of his property and he
would like to eventually have the property all fenced in. He is limited with what he can do with
the property because at this point it has not shown much return, he has spent money on the
building and received nothing back The storage containers go through a re -manufacturing
process, they go to construction sites and they will be moved back and forth but they will be
stored on this property.
He would like to have the property re -zoned so they could put storage units that would bring a
monetary return and would have set hours.
Public hearing was closed
There was discussion concerning the purchase of the Jack Covington property. Only that portion
fell into a grandfather issue which was used as maintenance and repairs, but acquiring more lots
for this purpose would not fall under the grandfather issue. With the property being
predominantly residential with the residents and the Assisted Living Center in that area, several
uses have been turned down for surrounding property. There are two limited uses now and
commercial use should not be expanded.
Doug made a motion to deny the request of Item 4 for change in the Comprehensive Plan for the
property between Main Street and I' North and between 4t' and 5th West and leave it the way it
is. Motion was seconded by Gary, all voted aye, none opposed.
Public comment was called for on Item 5 which property is located on the west side of 5' West
at approximately 1St North. John Millar explained the property and the requested change from
single family residential to multi -family residential.
John Hawker - 126 K Street
John would request that this change be denied and left as single family residential.
LoRee Howard - 155 N. 5th West
LoRee would like to stand as being opposed to any change in zoning on this property.
David Daniels - 138 K Street
David expressed his opposition and would request this change be denied.

NORTH HILL RD.)
Stephen read the Notice of Public Hearing. John reviewed the location of the property and the
request for annexation. Public hearing was opened, there was no public comment and the public
hearing was closed.

John Lewis - 1576 W. 190 South.
His concern is with the amount of traffic that will be added to the 1520 West road and what the
future plans are for more roads or stop lights. There was discussion as to other access and future
possible access roads.
Nyle Fullmer, City Council Member, assured the residents that annexation in their area will not
be driven by the City but by the septic system situation in the future. Ted also reiterated the
position that this developer would be willing to put in the lift station which services a huge need
in developing that area and because of that cost it has not been developed earlier.
RE: STEVE HART REQUEST FOR PARKING
TOPIC: (500,287,,,PARKING,PARKINCi SPACES, HART*STEVE, I ST WEST,
PARKING ORDINANCE)
Steve Hart explained the location of his building on 1St West and the problem with customer
parking. With the 54 unit apartment complex going in across the street and the possible zone
change on two lots just a house down from him he is concerned that he will lose all street
pariung. He uistributed
P; V11; Of 11; iv"ativli and several ether businesses tluvugho—+
Rexburg.
John gave an explanation of some of the pictures of parking. There were a couple of parking
situations the City would, if they could, do away with. The current ordinance precludes being
able to back into traffic because of the unsafe situation.
There was some discussion of using diagonal parking on l' West, of Steve purchasing a strip of
land from Mrs. Rish, the homeowner next to him, of reserving a parking space on the street
which is not a possibility.
It was suggested that Steve meet with John and review any parking options that might be
available in that location.
RE: DELL RAY BARNEY REQUEST FOR ZONE CHANGE
TOPIC: (500,287,,,13ARNSY*D.J.,1 ST NORTH -ZONE CHANGES;COVINGTON*JACK,
GRANDFATHER CLAUSE,GRANDFATHERED)
Dell Ray and D. J. Barney explained the additional property he has purchased in the area of 1St
North which is adjacent to property he already owned and the process of cleaning up the lots,
He would like to develop this property by building self storage units to utilize the back half of
+1-1—+n
Stephen explained that Dell Ray was here to get a feel from the Board. in order to do what he
wants he would need to request a zone change. The maximum commercial structure he would
get would be 1100 square feet from the Jack Covington property plus whatever was torn down
3
on the Kington property plus 15%, which would be approximately 2500 to 3000 square feet of
commercial building. Their present plans are for a 7500 square foot storage facility in the first
phase. They have the ability to use a large portion of this property now as a truck
manufacturing facility because of the grandfather situation on Jack's property and whatever use
was on the Kington property.
There was lengthy discussion on the feeling of the Board and it was felt there would be a huge
opposition for this use in that area, especially from surrounding landowners and other
businesses, Stephen explained that it was a bigger problem than originally thought because the
Comprehensive Pian will not allow this zone change. The plan would have to be amended
which would be a big problem which Stephen explained to the Barneys. The Jack Covington
property is a non-comforming use for this area. Other uses for this property were discussed.
The right to go to public hearing was discussed as well as the possibility of spending the time
and money and being turned down on the request. Stephen reminded him that with the current
use the property could be used for commercial or industrial, he could build 1100 square feet of
storage plus a little more because of the Kington buildings, he can use that much for that
purpose, he can put in a truck terminal or some of the other things that had been talked about.
The only benefit to the zone change would not be to change its use because it is already grand-
fathered as industrial and commercial. What would be gained with the zone change is the ability
to use the entire parcel and not be limited by the square footage grandfathered at this time.
If they cannot build several buildings they are not interested in building only one storage
building. The Barnevs will check with neighbors and discuss other options to comply with the
present zoning.
Ted Whyte asked the Board for a feel of the possibility of a zone change on property on the
Salem Highway near Ultimate Direction from Ag to Highway Business District. The map was
reviewed, the roads were discussed, the Board felt there should be no large problem because at
some point this may be HBD down the entire Salem Highway.
The meeting was adjourned.

RE: D.J. BARNEY REGARDING GRANDFATHER RIGHTS AT 407 W 1ST N
TOPIC: (500,178 ... BARNEY*D.J.,GRANDFATHER CLAUSE,IST N.)
Stephen explained D. J. Barney has some old buildings on his property
where he and his father has a business located at 407 West 1st North.
These buildings are old and run down. His concern is if he tears them
down to clean up the lot, if he can't afford to rebuild them within a
year will they loose their Grandfather Right and how long can they go
without rebuilding before they will loose that right? Under our
ordinance it appears that once the building is torn down, if they are
not reconstructed within one year they would loose the right to
reconstruct them. His alternative is to leave the old buildings there
until such time as he can afford to replace them or what he is seeking
is an agreement with the Planning & Zoning board. He would like the
agreement to acknowledge that the buildings exist and that he intends
to replace them and have a specific time set greater than one year
during which he could replace them. He would like to remove them and
abate the unsightly nature of the buildings now and replace them
sometime when they can afford it.
D. J. Barney arrived at the meeting to explain. His father purchased
the Jack Covington property last fall and there is three smaller
buildings on the property they would like to tear down. They would like
to be able to rebuild these buildings later without loosing the
grandfather option. They would like to clean up the property. They are
hauling the scrap metal away. They would like to be able to rebuild
when they can afford it in a few years. He said if they can't tear them
down and rebuild them later,then they would leave the buildings there.
Stephen told him it would take an agreement reached by them and the
city to allow them to remove the buildings and preserve their structure
rights that exist right now. This would have to occur before he
actually tears down the structure.
Paul Pugmire stated that it would require him to come before the
council and would require a council agreement.
Davawn Beattie tabled the issue to proceed with the scheduled Public
Hearing.
RE: PUBLIC HEARING ZONE CHANGE AT 3RD SOUTH & 2ND WEST FOR DEAN BIRCH
TOPIC: (500,179,,, ZONE CHANGE,PUBLIC HEARING,3RD S.,2ND W.,BIRCH*DEAN)
Stephen Zollinger read the notice of Public Hearing to change the
zoning. A Public Hearing regarding the proposed rezoning to provide as
follows:
That the owners of the following described property is requesting that
it be rezoned to H.D.R. (High Density Residential) to allow for multi
housing to be built. The property is currently zoned H.B.D. (Highway
Business District).
The property is located on the corner of 3rd South and 2nd West. Legal
description is on file.
John Millar showed a map of the location of the rezone. The majority of
that block is zoned H.D.R. other than the Sandwich Shop on the corner
and Erickson Parking Lot. The proposal is to change the zone from
H.B.D. to H.D.R.
Dean Birch was not in attendance to the meeting.
Davawn asked if anyone in the audience wanted to testify, there were
none.
Close Hearing and turned it over to the board
Discussion. That area is mostly apartments at the present. Stephen told
them at the present time he plans to build a 6 or 8 plex on the vacant
lot as far east and south as he can build it.
A motion was made by Mike Thueson and seconded by Ted Whyte to
recommend to the City Council that the zoning on this property be
changed from H.B.D. to H.D.R. All Aye
RE: D.J. BARNEY ISSUE
TOPIC: (500,180,,, GRANDFATHER CLAUSE,BARNEY*D.J.,1ST N.)
D. J. Barney issue- Discussion. A motion was made by Bobbette Carlson
and seconded by Mike Thueson that because it would be an advantage to
tear these old buildings down that we recommend to the city council
that they draw up an agreement with the Barneys that if they tear these
buildings down that he be given permission to rebuild them and that he
and the city council come up with a time frame so he won't loose the
grandfather right. All Aye
Mr Barney also told the board he has some fencing material to fence in
his property that is used for a business. He is also going to plant
some trees and shrubs for screening.
RE: Z.O.C.O. EVERGREEN SUB DIVISION
TOPIC: (500,180,,, Z.O.C.O.,AIRPORT,ZOLLINGER*STEPHEN,
EVERGREEN SUB DIVISION)
Z.O.C.O - Evergreen Sub Division- John Millar showed the plat and also
the Sawtell and Henderson Preliminary Plats which would tie into this
plat. Stephen stepped down from the table so it would not look like he
had a conflict even though he is not a voting member. The issue before
this board is the final plating of the property located on West Main
directly South of the Airport. The current zoning of this piece of
property is L.D.R.1. The property has 77 lots and will provide for a
one acre of green area. Their is one lot that would front onto highway
33. The other lots would have access either to the east through
Starlite Addition or when it was originally plated a road was planned
and had been constructed coming out of the Starlite Addition going
toward the west and that extends for about one lot depth and there is a
berm across that now. The primary access would be onto 1500 West at a
point of about 200 or 300 feet south of second curve coming from the
State Highway. There is a future access that would be added with the
church property where the Park Street Church is. There is a proposed
Subdivision that has a preliminary plat that has been approved some
years ago and that has a cul-de-sac in the center of it showing the
road that would be between the church and the Sawtell Addition which
would access a road which is the extension of Park Street over onto
1500 West. Some years ago there was a preliminary plat approved for a
development that is south of the Park Street Addition which would also
provide for continuation of the road through and over onto South 5th
West. Those are both preliminary plats and have not proceeded.beyond
that point. For the wastewater handling for this Subdivision, there is
a line that comes from the main pump station located at the south east
corner of the Golf Course. The existing line comes across Highway 33
and terminates at the corner of this property. It is of sufficient
depth to provide service to this property. Water for the facility would
come from the line through the Park Street Addition. There was also a
12 inch line over to 1500 West that serves the Comfort Inn and also
services the Solid Waste Transfer Station. Storm Drainage would be
handled by an existing line that serves the Starlite and Park Street

RE: DALE ALLEN REGARDING PARKING PROBLEM AT SUMMERSET
TOPIC: (500,128,,, PARKING,APARTMENTS,C.U.P.,5TH S.)
Dale Allen owner of Summerset Apartments was at the meeting regarding a
Parking Problem. He brought some plans for a proposed parking lot and
was requesting a Conditional Use Permit. They are proposing to put the
parking lot on the property directly south of Brenchley South
Apartments on 5th South. They are going to buy the corner piece of
property and the piece directly to the west of the corner piece. They
will not do anything with the corner piece right now. They just want to
develop the flat spot directly to the west of the ditch. He thought he
could get about 110 spaces. He showed the Sketch and explained. They
have structured their pricing next year two ways so if they want to
park on sight it will cost a little more than if they don't bring a car
or if they park off sight. This parking is two blocks away but he had
talked to two guys yesterday if they would use it and they said they
would park anywhere, it would be worth it to them just to bring a car
and will park off site. This will be right across the street from
Brenchley Apartments. Mary Ann asked if each tenant has an assigned
spot? Mr Allen explained how he has done it. They have contracts for
those that don't bring cars and they have to sign an agreement saying
they will not operate a car from November 1 to March 1. Jim suggested
that Logan has a big parking lot and run a shuttle bus. Mr Allen talked
to a fellow from Iowa that suggested we do the same as they do. They
have narrow streets so on the odd days they park on one side of the
RE: D.J. & D.R. BARNEY PURCHASED JACK COVINGTON PROPERTY
TOPIC: (500,129,,,BARNEY*D.J.,COVINGTON*JACK,IST N.)
D.J. Barney was at the meeting. His dad with D.R. Barney Trucking had
purchased the property at 407 West 1st North from Jack Covington where
he has his shop. He will take possession on November 1. He went into
the City Hall to get a business license and Rose had a question if this
business would be grandfathered and asked him to come to this meeting.
He was told that if they deviate from the same type of business that Mr
Covington has now it would not be grandfathered. The board recommended

RE: D.J. BARNEY IS REQUESTING TO HAVE AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP IN A
RESIDENTIAL AREA.
TOPIC: (400,194,,,BARNEY*D.J.,ROWBERRY,AUTO REPAIR,IST NORTH)
D.J. Barney is requesting to have an auto repair shop in a residential
area. Dale Thompson summary of background on property at 410 West
1st North. Rowberry's had a commercial business of truck repair
etc. they were there since 1987. In 1994 the Barney's bought the
property from the Rowberry's and continued doing auto repair there.
D.J. came into get a business license because he had been operating
with out one. The business license was denied because he operating a
business in a residential area. The question is he grandfathered
because he is operating the same sort of business as the Rowberry's,
or does he need a Conditional Use Permit or to rezone? The Planning and
Zoning thought that this was more of legal issue than a Planning and
Zoning issue.
The Planning and Zoning Committee thought that is was the same sort of
business. D.J. Barney said that he will continue to do improvements on
the lot as his money permits over the years. He would like to put a
sign on the building. Jim Long asked about parking in a residential
area. D.J. showed the plot plan improvements he indicated he was going
to put up a 6'cedar fence, he's planning to be on the city LID to put
in sidewalks, put in grass and trees, the parking will be right around
the shop. D.J. Barney agrees to not put up any sign or other forms of
commercialization. The Planning and Zoning agreed that it was a
Continuation of a Non -Conforming Use Permit. Richard moved for it to be
a Continuation of a Non -Conforming Use Permit. Davawn Seconded. All
Aye.
Note that the Planning and Zoning would like to addresses truck in the
Zoning Ordinance.
