D. Hancock, City Attorney Glen Pond, Councilman Rose Bagley, City Clerk A motion was made by Dan Hess and seconded by Mary Ann Mounts to approve the minutes of January 24, 1990. All Aye RE: ROLLING HILLS SUBDIVISION Sheralyn Spaulding was at the meeting, representing Greg Fullmer, to show a preliminary drawings of a Subdivision on 550 South and 4th East. This plat was previously submitted as Rolling Hills Subdivision and approved. He would like to put in cul-de-sacs to try to promote more safety in the area and also making it more private. Mrs Spaulding put through a conference call with Mr Fullmer. He had changed the plat to increase the size of the lots. John Millar said a concern is 5th South has been designed to be a through street and this design would terminate that street. Mr Fullmer said if 5th South did continue it would go straight into Richard Smith's house. He had tried to address that with a cul de sac. John Millar said they would need to take a serious look at it on sight and review it with what we have in compliance with the ordinance. Chuck Frost said if we did not have a through street it would isolate the property in that area. John Millar questioned the size of the lots. Mr Fullmer .said they had put a new section in the subdivision. Chuck said we need the drawing blown up so we could see how it fits in with the rest of the neighborhood. He was concerned how it would impact the development of through streets. That whole area up there is difficult to get through. He said cul de sacs are great, but we still have to get people to and from the neighborhood. John said the concern would be what happens with future development, South and East of this property. John Millar said since the original plat of Rolling Hi11s Subdivision had been filed with the county, this would have to be an amended plat. .John Millar told him that we would meet again on March 28, the board will review it and put it on the agenda for then. We will need a preliminary plat according to the subdivision ordinance. It would have to be approved by the fire and street department. We would need at that time a drawing as to how it would impact the streets that are there. RE: BOWEN & HALL EXTENSION Bowen & Hall Extension - Larry Ashman was at the meeting to present the e plans of a moderazation and expansion of their plant on 1st North. They have checked with the State Fire Marshall and got his approval and suggestions. He said the City Fire Marshall had looked at it as well as the street department and they had approved the plan. Chuck Frost said we need to have the City Fire Marshall send the Planning & Zoning a letter stating that he has inspected it and it is safe. He also suggested that for their security they fence off the bulk tank area. Chuck Frost made a motion that they get a letter from the city and State Fire Marshall that they approve the plan and that they fence the bulk tank area, and with those recommendations the board would approve the plan, seconded by Chris Mix. All Aye. RE: TETON COMMUNICATIONS Teton Communications Building and Antenna - Glen Pond read the letter from Teton Communications requesting that they be allowed to put a building on the city property next to the water tower and an antenna on the water tower. They also request to purchase one acre of land from the city near the water tower. Glen Pond said his concern was the nice homes in that area and what kind of landscaping there would be to fit in with the homes. Jim Long stated that there should be a buffer zone around the water tower. The city should also reserve that area for city use. John Millar said he would hate us to start hanging things on the water tower. A motion was made by Jim Long and seconded by Dan Hess to disallow the antenna and building. All Aye RE: CHURCH FOR NORTH REXBURG John Watson presented a preliminary drawing of a new church to be built for the North Rexburg Stake north of Millhollow Trailer Court. It would be south of Barney Dairy Road between Gary Street and Max Street. He said Gary Street and Max Street are not in. He wondered who was responsible for the street and what would be the responsibility of the church for the street. Chuck Frost stated that the developer, in this case would be the church, should be responsible for half of the street and the other half would be the responsibility of Ricks Palmer. The church office in Boise told Mr Watson that they would put the street in, but they need a letter from the City saying they have to put the street in. He needed to know what the mechanism whereby we get a road in there. Glen Pond said when Ricks Palmer sold the church the property, he should have planned on it. Chuck Frost said the developer would get a lot of benefit from the street and the church. John Millar said the street is required in the sub division ordinance. Glen Pond said he thought that both streets should be put in. RE: LETTERS OF APPROVAL FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL John Watson said how can I solve the problem with the high school. When he brings plans into the city he never receives back a letter from the inspectors saying it has been reviewed and approved or that certain things should be done. He would like to have letters of review from the building, plumbing, and fire of approval. He said they cannot afford to re-route all the water lines at the high school because the `~~ plumbing inspector feels we should. Chuck Frost said he didn't think the city can require a change if it is on school property and not on city property. He said he wants a formal plan review and not there an arbitrary changes after the fact. He would like a formal letter back of approval item by item. The inspectors need to be responsible for their actions. He said he did not see a need for the school district to pay excess money for changes. RE: PARKING AT PORTER PARK Parking Lot At Porter Park - Glen Pond explained what the city council proposed for a parking lot at Porter Park. Jim Long said he thought if we put the parking lot across the street with a mini park it would be nice so the city doesn't loose that amount of park space. Glen Pond said that corner of the park really isn't used. Jim Long said he then would make the motion that you put the parking lot in the park with the stipulation that none of the trees get taken out. Glen Pond said they would put landscaping in the parking lot to make it look nice. If the city bought the lot across the street they could not afford to landscape it only to put gravel on it. Some of the members was concerned with safety of children crossing the street. Mary Ann Mounts and Mike Larson stated that when you take children to the park you would help them across the street and not just let them out of the car. Dan Hess seconded the motion that Jim Long made to have the parking lot in the park. Jim Long said he had counted 20 cars along that street that belong to the Diet Center employees at the same time the parking lot behind Diet Center was empty. He wondered if 2 hour parking signs could be put up on that street. Possibly the Diet Center could by that piece of property for parking. John Millar ask for a vote on the motion that was on the floor. Those voting Aye: Chuck Frost Dan Hess Chris Mix Jim Long Those voting Nay: Mary Ann Mounts Mike Larson John Millar The members discussed it further. The wanted the council to know that they hate to see the park dug up and question rather we need the parking lot or not. They thought a 4 way stop sign should be put up on that corner for safety. John Millar said we would talk about the Ordinance and Flood Plain at the next meeting. RE: AIRPORT EXTENSION EPA for Airport - Jim Long questioned the numbers of usage. It stated that there was 100 military planes landing each year. John Millar said they are state figures. Glen Pond said he did not think the extension would go because there are three government agencies who have a problem with the extension and that makes the board members have a question. `~ John Millar said we were waiting for the Core of Engineers and then we will have a meeting with FAA. RE: CRESTHAVEN SUBDIVISION - BUSINESS IN HOME - BRAD LILJENQUIST Glen Pond told the members that we have a problem in Cresthaven Subdivision. It is zoned residential and an individual operates a business in his home. He was told he could not operate the. business in his home. We have a complaint from a neighbor. The Planning Board stated that it is in violation of the ordinance. Jim Long made a motion that we write a letter saying he is in violation. The motion was seconded by John Millar. Chris Mix abstained from voting. The rest of the board voted Aye. Glen Pond told them there are also restrictive covenants prohibiting a business in a home in that subdivision. The Member of the board stated that they think highly of Brad but will have to address the complaint. RE: MEETING ADJOURNED A motion was made. by Mike Larson and seconded by Jim Long to adjourn. All Aye. C:
