The meeting was opened by Chairman Clyde Packer at 5:00 P.M. Chairman Packer called the meeting to order and roll call showed the following present: John L. Clark, H. 4+I. Jacobsen, heith Zollinger, Rosie Powell and Mark Siepert. Zonin , H. W. Jacobsen Chairman. A4r. Jacobsen presented the zoning map to the City Council in their last meeting and according to their feelings, it is felt by iKr. Jacobsen that tale Council is very much interested in the idea and at the present time it looks as if there will be only minor changes on the regulations of the zoning ordinances. It was brought to light that the new building code which stands at the present time should conform with the zoning ordinances that are outlined in its entirety. Chairman, Clyde Packer, suggested that he and dir. Jacobsen will go over both of these ordinances and conform them to each other before the next Planning Board meeting. It was the feeling of the Planning Board that the present zoning ordinance map be placed before the people of the city for public approval as soon • as possible. This idea should be presented because of the coming election and also in case there is an influx of,people settling in this community it would protect the people who are already here from bad buildings being erected. MOTION: I;eith Zollinger rr~a,de a motion that the East Half (E2) of Block Twenty Two (22); the North Half (N 2) of Block Thirty three (33) 20 rods deep; the West Half (w2) of Block Twenty one (21); the South West section of Block Sixteen (lb) Forty (40) rods deep and exempting twenty (20) rods that face the highway; the Northwest corner of Block Thirty Four (34) Thirty (30) by Twenty (20) rods; should be changed from grey to blue which stands for the i+lb. ~ residential district. Rosie Powell seconded this motion and upon a vote it passed unamiously. Streets and Alleys, Rosie Powell Chairman. Mr. Powell mentioned that he and A4r.-Abner Wicidison had discussed the problem of purchasing a right-of-way or a public street running through the middle of the block. Mr. 6diddison presented his point that he would like $1,000.00 for a 50 foot frontage lot and that he wished to have sewer, gutter, and sYdewalks placed around this corner which the street would automatically make. Mr. Powell also brought to the attention of the Planning Board that at the present time he does not feel that the government and the AEC will place the new highway into Rexburg from the West. The main reason for this is because the way that the AEC Charrman mentioned in their last meeting in Idaho Falls they • do not believe that the project going on at the present time necessitates a new highway coming into Rexburg. The AEC must make a proposal to the Government that the project. that will be built has to have a highway coming to Rexburg in order for us to obtain one. At the present time therefore, it is the general opinion of the men that have worked on this committee that the highway will not be built :possibly for another three or four years. dir. Powell also suggested that there are two middles of blocks, No. 39 and No. 3 in the City of Rexburg, that could be purchased by the City and made into parking lots for the shoppers in the business district. Block No. 39 is that portion of la~[isd~rectly behind Flamm~s Furniture Store and Block No. 3 is direct~v of the Tri-State Lumber yard. Clyde Packer mentioned that he would like to have Rosie Powell look into this and if he needs any help in finding out the necessary data he would be glad to help him to do so. water, Sewage, and Surface drainage, Chairman Mark Siepert. There was a general discussion concerning the different ways that the canals could be covered that are running through the town. Chairman Packer suggested that Keith Zollinger work with Mark Sipert.and present a motion to the Planning Board in the next regular meeting in April ,concerning the covering of the above mentioned canals and ditches. ~_ Health and Sanitation Chairman John L. Clark. Mr. Clark presented a report of the State Health program.. This program consists of the State donating 40/ of the total cost and the counties, schools, and cities, donating 60"0 of the total costa The out:Line of this program is as follows: A Health Center would be placed in the approximate middle of a certain area such as Madison County, Fremont County or Teton County. There would be a general practitioner and possibly two nurses in the area and their main work would comprise of studying and helping the general wellfare of the people and also working with the school children of the area. Chairman Packer suggested that Mr. Clark write letters to possib.iy Twin Falls ,and other centers that already have this general health program and find out as much information concerning the good points and also the faults of the program as he can. This should also give the opinions of the people working in these general health centers on how the program is going over in their particular local.
