Larry Beesley was at ttie meeing to get prmission to add onto an existing
garage on his mothers property at 80 North 5th West. The existing garage
is 2 feet from the property line. He showed them a sketch. He wanted to
add on another 16 feet 'to the existing garage for a storage shed.
This would be the back of the lot. Chuck Frost .said you can go right to
the back of the prperty line if the building is detatched. If the building
is to the property line it will have to be fireproof, 5" sheet rock, cinder
block, or metal. If it: is built fireproof to the line it would meet with
'the code and no action would be required.
Gaylen Gneiting was at the meeting to request a zoning change at 309 South
5th West from R3 to Commercial. The property is situated south of the Barrick
Candy Company. The proposed zoning map shows that the intent is to change
it to Commercial. (copy of request for zone change is attached) The committee
discussed teh South half of Third South Street between Fourth and Fifth West
located immediately to the North of Lot 2. Mr. Gneiting stated that street
had been abandoned. The city clerk was ask to check to see if that street
had been abandoned. Chuck Porter ask him what he proposed to put in there.
He said he would like to build some apartments at a later date.
The commettee stated that it would fit with the master plan. Jim Long
proposed that they recommend to the city council to change the zone in the
area of 309 South 5th West from R3 to Commercial. Seconded by Chuck Frost,
A11 Aye
Steve Clark was at the meeting with a request, "It is our proposal to construct
4 tri-pleexs to the placed beginning at the west end of the existing notli building of
our comple<~ and moving on west to the newly constructed fence. Thus number of
parking spaces needed will be 70. This total was arrived at by figuring 12
spaces for the first 24 girls and an additional 58 parking spaces for the next
174 girls. •
GIe met June 29, 1988 at 10:00 A. M. with the city fire marshall, the city building
inspector, a regpresentative from the Off-Campus Housing Dept. of Ricks College,
and the V.P. of the Rexburg Off-Campus Student Housing Association. All examined
our plans and accepted our proposal."
~~~
He planned to connect the tri-plexs and will be separated with double
walls of sheet rock. This will make it essentially one building. ~?e showed
a plan he had drawn himself. The parking was discussed. John Millar stated that
looking at the parking area at the existing apartments there seems to be a great
deal of grade ~o it. The new drawing showed a.lot of grade. He ask if all
the parking indicated could be used. Mr Clark said they would move the soil
around to excavate it. Jim Long told him it looks great on paper when you
start plotting places out but when you look at the circulation and how people
are actually going to utilize it sometimes it is different. How successful
have you been in your parking lot that you have. He was told that a 20 foot
alley was not big enough and that 8` stalls was not big enough, 9' stalls is
minimum. Chuck Porter ask what the zoning was in that area and if he could
leagally build the tri-plexs and connect them. Chuck Frost told him he
should get a Landscape Archetect or an engineer to draw up the plans for
the complex and parking, using the current standards for driveways and parking
lot widths. Jim Long said he would recommend that Mr Clark not be issued
a building permit until he gets a layout signed by a Landscape Archetect or
and engineer. The committee discussed the motion. Gordon Tychsen for the
Fire Department was at the meeting and dicussed the room that a fire truck
would need to get through. Jim Long said he would like to amend his motion
to include a grading plan. Chuck Frost said he was concerned about .the run
off from the property. In checking the zoning which is R2 a 5 plex is as
big as can be built. He was told that if he joined the apartments they would
have to be built according to the commercial code. He stated that Gary Ricks
had not been made to build his new unit according to the commercial code.
The Planning Board thought it should be checked on and ask the city clerk to
check on it.
Jim Long restated his motion, that we do not consider for approval this
plan of Steve Clark's without a Licensed Engineer or a Licensed Landscaped
Archetect's master plan, which will include grading and drainage and layout
for the traffic circulation. Seconded by Chuck Frost All Aye.
Chuck Porter stated that he was concerned that Mr. Clark wanted to join the
units together. It doesn`t meet the zoning.
The city clerk was ask to check on the history of Cameo and why they were
allowed to be built in that zone.
Mr. Clark was told. that the Planning & Zoning would hold a special meeting
on July 20 before the City Council meets to review the plans.
Jim Long stated that he thinks a lot of mistakes have been made in Rexburg,
and as long as I have been asked to serve on the Planning Board and the fact
that I am a Landscape Archetect and a Planner, it is my objective to see it
is done right. tae need to to stop doing things wrong and start doing things
right.
