A motion was made by Bob Purrington and seconded by Gerald Taylor tc approve the minutes. A11 Aye. _ Chucl, Frost told the committee that the only_ item on the agenda was Robert Farmsworth who wants to convert some existing apartments into condominiums. Mr. Farmsworth showed the committee plans for preliminary plat. The apartments were purchased from Carol Walker, there are two four-plex apartments. The name of the apartments is Glenbrook Apartments at 235 & 248 South 3rd West, Chuck said as far as he knew there was no applicable. law in F.exburg for conversion. Mr. Farmsworth said that Carol Walker told him she had orginally built them as condominiums and because of the economy was down they rented • them. They were built about 32 years ago. He said his idea was to sell as few as he could, he said he may sell two.and he may sell four. He said the drawings that he was presenting was done as a preliminary plat, and they were going to hire Forsgren Perkins to do a final plat. He said the units were all two bedroom, there is one garage for each unit and there is adequate parking. He said there was one item that would appear to have needed a variance, which is there is a deck that extends out farther than the five fbet from the property line, it is over a concrete deck; hooaever Mrs. Walker said th.e city had inspected it and approved it. Mr. Farmsworth said he would offer to the current tenants first chance to buy and at extremely good terms. He has no intention of evicting anyone. Jim Flamm questioned Mr. Farmsworth about his wanting to sell a limited number of the, and why he did not want to sell them alJ_. Mr. Farmsworth said he wanted to retain the ones he did not sell as condominiums and rent them out as income for his kids going to college. Chuck Frost said the deck that Mr. Farmsworth merLtioned apparently was passed by the city building inspector. It apparently does not meet with the set backs according to the zoning regulations, but he did not think it Boas a serious problem. Chuck said if it is going to be platted in order to sell it, it could be handled just like a small sub-division, with a preliminary plat and then when he comes back and is ready to sell it with a final plat and then it will be taken through the regular procedures. He was advised to complete the check off list given him for sub-divisions.
