Inspector Blair Manwaring was out to them f or Inn a few days ago to s
ee
how the final Mems of construction were progressing. At that time it was
noted that most the prev'ously discussed items had been completed,
however, , the following items still reed attention,
it The wall vents between the hallway and the swimming1 had not been
i.11.
There were 5 or 6 places the swimming pool room where the
foundation had been broken out for the installation of conduits but
no grout had been packed back in to refill the broken out places.
The pool coping and floor 3i had not been caulked.
4. How is handicapped access going to be provided to the swimming pool?
See comment #7 In my previous letter and Section 3105 (d) 4 (copy
attached)*
The entry way facilities going frim the main hallway into the
swimming pool room are not constructed in accordance with the
approved plans. See attached copy of plans. There should '
long level landing on the south side of the door before the sloping
ramp starts, (Sect]Lon 304 would allow this 5 foot dimension to
be shortened to 44 inches). The plans show a wall along the west
side of this landing and ramp& however, a guard rail would also be
acceptable. Ramp slope cannot be greater than 1:1,
Glen Halverson, of Forsgren Associates, discussed the landscaping
plan for the Comfort Iran wJ, t h Lhe Rexburg Planning and Zoning
commission at its October 26, 1994 meeting. At that meeting It was
decided that an a i, ional row of Austri'an Pines would be planted off
set from the existing row of Arborvitae trees. (See attached copy of
Planning & ZonIngCommission minutes.) When will these Austrian
Pines be planted

TOPIC* (300r109FrrLANDSCAPIN0tC0MF0RT INN f T I SCREENING
Glen Halverson was a meeting ire review the landscaping the
Comfort Inn. John Millar declared a conflictf interest and asked
Mary Ann to chair that issue,, handed out copies of plan with
landscaping 'there was an issue of screening, It would be difficult o
plant trees 301 high. They have planted 6 l/2 high arborvitae trees
on the south side and Colorado Blue Spruce on the east side. They were
planted at 301 spacing. . trees get larger ill spread
out. D . a m & Jim told him the spruce are adequate. Glen said they had
thought about poplar or aspen for the South but they loose their lames
i the winter and you won't have that screen. It also presents
MaIntenance problem with all the leaves in the fall. The landscaper
suggested the arbor -vitae. Davawn told him that it has been his
experi..ence that the arborvitae stays so narrow, but would need to be
planted c to ser . Jim Long stated that those
grow together and there will always be open spaces. If they were
planted feet apart they would be good screening but at 20 feet apart
they will never be a good screen. Dn agreed. f sir
ggested that
they plant some Austrian pines not in between them but as a double row
(off set r that would screen it 'very well. It wouldbemoreeconomical
that, way. The committee agreed*
