RE: REQUEST FOR ZONE CHANGE WEST OF CULLIGAN SOFT WATER Dean Petersen was at the meeting to request a zone change for West of Culligan Soft Water for storage sheds at 375 West Main east of the canal it is presently zoned R3. If commercial property abuts a residential zone they have to comply with the set backs and put solid fencing all around. The lot goes back 280 feet. He showed a (sketch). He said he would have to buy a piece of property so they could drive ou.t on the other street. John Millar said the P & Z did not like spot zoning. If they did want to change it they would need to request a Special Use Permit or change the whole block on both sides. 1 RE: PHILOSOPHY OF GROUP: COMMERCIAL OR RESIDENTIAL? -~ Jim Long said we need to make a decision as a group of what our philosophy is going to be, is it going to be commercial or residential. Chuck Frost stated that our city is over stocked with commercial property. The area is predominantly residential. When the health food store was put in we had a lot of concern. John Millar stated that we have three alternatives (1) we can vote to not recommend the zone change, (2) recommend it proceeds to hearing, or we can (3) let it go to hearing without a recommendation. The neighbors would have to be polled within 300 feet. Chuck Frost said he would vote against a spot zone for one lot. The frontage on the lot is 50 feet. It does not have enough frontage for a residential. The property does have a hardship if someone wanted to put a house on the property. To put any kind of a building in you would have to meet the set backs, when you are in a transition zone you have to meet the requirements for the upper zone. Glen Pond said his concern was what is the best use for that property. The board discussed the use of the property. Chuck said he would be hesitant to vote until they could ~ • see what it would look like on the ground and see where the drainage would be. A motion was made by Chuck Frost and seconded by Jim Long to table it until we have a plot plan. Renee Magee said she needs to ~~ address the fire access and drip line. John Millar asked for a vote on the motion. All Aye Mr Petersen was told to come to the next meeting. RE: REQUEST TO BUY AND SELL NIGHTCRAWLERS FROM HOME - LAURIE FRANCIS Laurie Francis - 158 North 1st East- was at the meeting to request buying night crawlers out of her garage. Mary Ann Mounts abstained and sat in the audience. She wanted to have a summer business for her kids to make some money and buy night crawlers out of her garage. They wanted to reduce the cost by using her home for the business rather than renting a location. There is a lot of traffic on the road going to the mall. They have two driveways and would just buy them and sell them in Pocatello. They would not have any signs only advertise in the newspaper. John Millar said it would need to be a Conditional Use Permit. She was told a petition would have to be taken around, it would have to go to the city council, and be advertised before a public hearing. It would take until the first meeting in June. She said if she could not start until June it would cut out a lot of business. Options were discussed and Mrs Francis withdrew her request. Glen Pond asked for the 300 feet to be defined. It is from the corners, 300 feet from any dimension. RE: RONN ASHLIMAN'S REQUEST FOR A WALK IN CAFE Ronn Ashliman request for a Walk In Cafe. There were two petitions sent around one for a variance for the parking and one for the zone change to allow the cafe. Both petitions was about 50 - 50. The council wanted the Planning & Zoning to review the petitions. Mr Ashliman stated that some of the people who signed against it the first time have changed their opinion. He requested that a new petition be sent around with a new more acceptable plan. A new petition will be sent around and the issue tabled until the next meeting. RE: PUBLIC HEARING SET TO AMEND MASTER PLAN John Millar announced to the Board that a Public Hearing was set for May 15 at 7:00 P. M. to amend the Master Plan to allow the next park. RE: DOUBLE WIDE TRAILER ON GENE BELL PROPERTY Betty and Gene Bell were at the meeting who live on west main. They asked about putting a double wide trailer on their property. This would be allowed if it were put on a permanent foundation and if they complied with the zoning ordinance. They would also like to put some other double wide trailers behind their Regal Court. Part of their property is the same as Mr Petersen was talking about. She was told if she put more trailers in they would have to comply with the sub division ordinance or the trailer ordinance. RE: KENT BAUM BUYING AND BUILDING ON GARNER PROPERTY • ~, Linda Eames and Kent Baum were at the meeting. Mr Baum has made an offer subject to working out the details on the Garner property off of ,.,-- ~-- 3rd East and 3rd North. This would be a condominium development. This is zoned R2 and he would have no more than four units together. Glen Pond asedk them if they knew it was in a flood area. They were told they would have to get a Sub Division Ordinance and draw a plat according to that ordinance. They were reminded that they would have to do specific things if they built on the landfill. They will have to draw a preliminary plat and bring it back to Planning & Zoning. They are having a special meeting on May 15. They could possibly review it at that time. RE: DISCUSSION OF MAP AND ZONING T7'ie rest of the meeting was turned over to Renee Magee. They discussed the map and zoning. A discussion on lots that are owned that are zoned commercial or R3 that are proposed to be changed. Renee said that until an owner makes a physical construction you don't have a right to that zoning. If the the board wants changes made in the zoning map they need to be united with the city council and all agree. We need to have a map showing the changes. We could have a meeting and have people come and explain to the people what is being done and why. Each member of the board and council will need to study the map and ordinance before the information meetings. RE: KENWOOD APARTMENTS • Jim Long expressed concern about Kent Jolley changing the Kenwood Apartments for housing for- college boys and if he had enough paved and marked parking. He ask that Glen Bean measure and count the parking and he be notified before he leaves for his mission. RE: FENCE AROUND UPPER VALLEY INDUSTRIES Another concern that Upper Valley Industries put up a fence all around their yard, so the mess is not visible to neighbors and people passing by. The clerk was asked to notify them. RE: SKATE BOARD BUSINESS BEHIND EAGLE BIKE There have been complaints about the skate board business behind Eagle Bike off from Ricks Avenue. Jesse Morrell had made a complaint. The clerk stated that they had not gotten a building permit or a business license. She would check on it. Meeting adjourned. •
