Kurt turned the time over to Cameron Gunter to review the proposal. Cameron Gunter - 1082 E. 1200 S., Spring Ville Utah- He passed out a conceptual site plan. And an example of the proposed condos. He discussed mixed use of properties with vertical integration. Industrial projects are not planned in this mixed use development. The Church owns the property to the North. They will not take a position on this proposal due to their neutral position. Cameron reviewed the planned development on the overhead screen. The property is too narrow to go commercial. This proposal is to combine housing with commercial use. The conceptual plan showed two and three bedroom units in a 12-plex condo. It is proposed to tie to the Teton River green space development. They are looking for input from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mary Haley -Reviewed the type of buildings on the complex and the elevation of the buildings. There is a bowling alley within a mile of this site. Cameron Gunter, - Mentioned a study for adding a bowling alley to the complex. The study said the City would support 18 more lanes. Winston Dyer - This is a community that would work in a closed area. Cameron Gunter - They would like to start with an area with walkways and expand the walkway system to other areas of the City. The concept is to provide walking paths for the residents. Commercial tenants would start construction at the same time 'as the first phase of the residential construction. Other City walking paths were discussed. Steve McGary - Have you looked at other properties in the City? They would like to be by the River and the shopping area on 2nd East. Cameron Gunter - Proposed to the City to continue the pathway to the East along the Teton River. Cameron Gunter - They would fill the low area of the lot to raise it above the flood plane. The flood plane has several classes or levels. Winston Dyer - The issue to consider for this proposal is land use and land use rights. Steve McGary - Can the Commission place conditions on this request? John Millar - You can not sunset a zone change. Mary Haley - Will this proposal push the light Industrial farther North of the City Winston Dyer - This would require a comprehensive plan change.

Mary Haley - The City is planning to have a Recreation Area just across the Teton River from this location. Discussion on the uses and functions of different zoning areas in the city. Winston Dyer - Zoning changes should not be taken lightly. Does the Commissioners want mixed use zoning? Discussion on zoning issues for Rexburg City and horizontal and vertical zoning.

DaVawn Beattie — Indicated a need to look at the Comprehensive Plan first before taking action on this proposal. Winston agreed with DaVawn and asked what the Plan is for Northeast Rexburg? Steve McGary - This proposal would set precedence for future proposals in the area. Where would this type of development fit in the City of Rexburg? Steve recommended tabling this request until the Comprehensive Plan changed to fit this proposal. There was continued discussion on the development of the area and having multi -family units in the area. Winston Dyer - Mentioned that this concept of mixed use is new to Rexburg. 10 Steve McGary - The Commission has the opportunity to do some long range planning for Northeast Rexburg.
