All Aye Ellen Genta was at the meeting representing the Hoopes family for the property at 242 East 2nd North and 252 East 2nd North. She showed drawings, attached. They are dividing the property. They are going to have it surveyed. LaVar and Marlene Withers are buying the property where the rock house sits and the garage behind it. Behind the red brick house is a metal shed. They would Like to change the property Line putting the side of the metal shed on the property line. She submitted a letter from the Wither's stating it would be okay to have it against their property. The building has a pitched roof and snow would be coming off the roof onto the other property.The board also has a duty to protect future property owners. Glen Pond explained if they were given a variance, it would not be transferable. The board told her they would have to divide the property to meet the zoning ordinance and code. How they use the property is up to them. They can i work it out when they divideit to have an easement between the two `~ property owners. .That would accomplish the same thing and make it so we would not need to give a variance. Jay Fluckiger was at the meeting to request putting an extension on Harmony House at 151 South Center. He plans to buy the three pieces of property on the South, 5 East 2nd South,. 23 East 2nd South and 9 East 2nd South. He wants to tear those houses down and extend the apartment house to the South and add more parking, Glen Pond told him the one problem that he has is that property is zoned R2 and an apartment house is not allowed on R2 Property. The present building for Harmony House is zoned R3 which is okay. In order to do the building he would have to get the zone changed. Chuck Porter said the thought it would be an improvement provided there was enough parking. Jay said he presently has 44 slots for 202 tenants for parking. He said if he narrows it down and extend it, he would have 50 slots on what he now has. He could get another 33 spots which is a total of 83 parking slots. They would be adding 72 .students. Chuck told him according to the new formula he would have to have 49 new slots for parking, to what he presently has. He would need a total of 93 parking places and add 10~ for snow removal. He said he would be a little short on parking, but Red Taylor has talked to him about buying his lot and he would move his house off, that way he would be able to use that for parking. He would need to ;make a walkway around the building, because there is no entrance to the building from the back. Jay said he could cut the grass down a little to get the additional parking. Mike Larson ask if we would have to change the zoning for a parking lot. Barry Genta • • i I • ~~~ said he would have to withdraw from the voting. Without his vote there would not be a quorum. The board said they would make a recommendation without a vote to the city council to change the zoning from R2 to R3. Denise Gibbs from the Association of Idaho Cities was at the meeting. They had previously made a presentation on the Northwest Energy Code Program. She called the mayor and told him she would be in the area, and he told her the P & Z was going to consider it tonight. So she offered to come tonight with Tim Baker, from Water Resourses to answer any questions that we might have. Glen Pond explained that the mayor wanted them to consider it. The city council talked about it, but some of the council had got negative feed back from contractors so from that point on we haven`t persued it. The mayor is looking for the input from the P & Z as to whether you would recommend that the city would go with it or that we should stay out of it. Chuck Porter said the people that are knowledgable about it are not here. Glen ask her to explain the program briefly. She also handed out some information. The board discussed it and wondered if there was a public interest issue. Glen suggested that we could put it on the agenda when Chuck Frost and John Millar are at the meeting to give the council an opinion. The board will discuss the matter at the next meeting and make a decision Sohn Watson was at the meeting, after hearing the presentation from the Association of Idaho Cities, he said he would be interested if their standards are the same for the Boise Valley as they are for this area. the board discussed it, most of them said they did not feel good about • making it mandatory. Building codes was discussed. l Mr Watson showed the board the plans for the new church house. There was some questions at the last meeting because it a steep sight. He pointed out Boyd Holdaway`s house and. Sunrise Drive. The project has been bid in terms of South 2nd East, and as a part of that is the LId to put sidewalks and curb and gutter. The road Sunrise Drive has been submitted with the plans to be completed to the church for approval. If it is not approved, Mr Watson would. have to come up with another approach. They would put curb and gutter on the side of the road that is next to the church property and the other would just be asphalt. One concern was the run off. He has designed it so it will run down the road and at the end of the road he is putting a big trench, 10 foot wide by 4 foot deep, fill it up with washed gravel, and put a grate across on it. He is putting in gutters to run all. the water down toward the trench. It is 30 feet wide and will. collect all the water. It is a great big giant French drain. There should not be any run off down the hill. Tn normal years it should handle the run off. The Plannning Board told him it was okay to bid and get a building permit. Chuck Porter told the board that John Pearson at 154 N 4 West wants to put a double wide trailer on a permanent foundation behind his mother's home. There would be enough room to have the set backs according to the zoning ordinance. The board said there would be no problem. They would need to present a plot plan and a plan for the footings to the • building inspector. i 11 I The mayor had made a suggestion that 2 substitute members be appointed • to the planning board. They would come to the meetings if other members of the board could not come. The board said they were nat comfortable with that. If members are chronically absent they need to be replaced.
