The minutes of the meeting of May 26, were discussed but not read because of their length, Charles Frost asked if there were any questions on the minutes, there were none. Chris Mix made a motion that the minutes be approved, seconded by Dan Hess. All Aye. Mike Richman and his wife were in attendance to ask for a re-zone for their property at 114 North 1st West from R2 to Commercial. Mr. Richman said that since the flood, they had relocated and built in Teton. They have tried to sell the property as residential, but with all the businesses around it they have not had any luck. They were told by a real estate agent that it would probably sell easier if it was zoned commercial. They were wanting to get the feeling of the Zoning committee. No action was taken; it was decided to • table this issue for future discussion with a willingness to reopen it if the people brought in more information as to the feelings of the surrounding neighbors for a re-zone or a specific request for a variance. Ardith Carlson, representing the Ricks College Credit Union, was in attendance to ask for a re-zone or a variance for property on the corner South of the Post Office, which is zoned R2, for the purpose of building an office for the Credit Union. After a discussion. on the parking and the traffic flow, Dan Hess made a motion to recommend that the City Council grant a variance with the following specifications: 1. That it meet the requirements for parking. 2. That the plot plan adequately consider the traffic flow for the drive-in window. 3. That_it meet the R2 requirements for set backs and any other zoning requirements. Seconded by Chuck Porter. All Aye. Charles Frost told them they would need to have their plot plan to present to the City Council when they meet with them. Harold Jones and Jim Dressen were in attendance to ask for a variance for the property at 107 East 1st North, which is zoned R2, for the purpose of putting an insurance and financial planning office in a home on that property. They presented a diagram showing property within 300 feet in all directions. They had contacted all but two or three people and had had only one objection. They would have four offices with one secretary. They plan to remodel the garage to use for one of the offices. Clint Parkinson from Eastern Idaho Realty presented a rough plat, and discussed the parking situation. Mr. Jones said • that they were a little pressed for time on the building, the real estate office had only given them until July 15 to decide if they wanted the building or not. A motion was made by Chuck Porter that the committee recommend a variance be given with the following provisions. 1. That there be at least six off-street parking spaces. 2. That it be used far professional use only. 3. That the sense of the neighbors in that area seems to approve this use of the property. Seconded by Chris Mix. All Aye. Chuck Frost suggested to them that they present a plot plan showing their parking and the petition signed by the neighbors to the City Council to help expidite their decision, since the Insurance Co. does have a time limit on this piece of property. Chuck Frost presented a question that he would like to put to the City Council. He felt that the Planning and Zoning Committee should have a feeling from the City Council as to what they want them to do in holding the line on Commercial property re-zoning and professional businesses and R2 and R3 areas. Dan Hess made a motion that the meeting adjourn, seconded by Chuck Porter. All Aye. • r-_ ~• Planning Board Members, when they were appointed.
