John Millar Mary Ann Mounts Marsha Bjornn Jim Long Jerry Jeppesen Davawn Beattie Scott Mortensen Dave Pincock Rose Bagley J. D. Hancock Terry Leishman RE: REVIEW OF PLANS FOR A CAR WASH ON 2ND EAST - DEE THUESON Dee Thueson was at the meeting to have his plans for a car wash reviewed. (showing the plans) Mary Ann Mounts was concerned about the ~ of Landscaping needed. Jim Long was concerned about the safety issue. We need to look closely to where the street is marked and where the left turn lane is at the intersection and where you transition back into the traffic. It could be a real problem with people stacking up. Mary Ann asked if the turning lane could be extended. John suggested. that they would have to check with the Highway Department. A motion was made by Mary Ann Mounts to turn it over to the Safety Committee, seconded by Jim Long. All Aye Discussion on landscaping required according to the ordinance. There is a 7 foot stripe of landscaping along the back, and John told him he needed to have some landscaping between this property and the bank. A motion was made by Davawn Beattie to approve the plan contingent upon landscaping that enhances the property and the recommendation from the Safety Committee, seconded by Marsha Bjornn. All Aye Mr Thueson needs to have Jim Long review the plan with landscaping. The drainage needs to be approved by Farrell Davidson. RE: ZONE CHANGE APPROVED FOR JACK COVINGTON Jack Covington to discuss changing his property from LDR 1 to MDR. A Public Hearing was held at the last meeting, but Mr Covington was not at the meeting and a motion was made "That because we have not been given enough information and that we table a decision until we get more information or until the next meeting." No more public comment will be accepted. It is contiguous to other apartments and would not be spot zoning. (discussion) A motion was made by Jim Long and seconded by Jerry Jeppesen to approve the zone change to MDR. All Aye. • • J. D. Hancock advised that we would need to advertise for a Public Hearing for the City Council because there was no hearing held when it was advertised at the City Council Hearing. ~~ ~ . RE: PARKING ADDITION TO 4TH/15TH WARD BUILDING John Watson was at the meeting to show a plan for a Parking Addition to the 4th/15th Ward Building. Jim Long discussed the landscaping requirements. The church possibly would like to expand when the houses next to the parking lot come up for sale. He would need to have a 7' landscaped buffer. John explained his plans. Jim felt the grass area that is used as a park should not be disturbed. Jim Flamm suggested that if they have the option to buy the property next to the parking lot that they not put in the buffer zone. Jim Long said we need some documentation on the buffer strip. John Watson stated that right now we have a problem with the drain, because right now there is no storm sewer in the street. The only storm drain he knew about was at the next street and there is a drain off the alley. What he is proposing to do because he realized that they have all the asphalt and right now it is dumping in the alley, he is suggesting that they drain everything to the corner and put in a catch basin, put it in concrete pipe and bury it in the street. He asked if there was an alternative. John Millar told him to run it past the Public Works Director. John Watson had a concern about the setback, does he have the option of continuing the curb section like they have done where they have changed it. John Millar told him it should go through Traffic Safety. John Watson said he would contact Bruce Sutherland about it. ~ . RE: REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF BEEHIVE CREDIT UNION PLAN Beehive Credit Union Plan Review. Shane Berger was at the meeting to present the plan and explain it. John Millar told him he needed to show how he would handle storm drainage and you will have to have that approved by the Public Works Director. He explained the landscaping and the plan in general. Discussion on parking. A motion was made by Marsha Bjornn to accept the plan as stands after the Department Heads approval. Seconded by Mary Ann Mounts. All Aye RE: PLAN REVIEW FOR C & L BODY SHOP Plan review for C & L Body Shop- The plan needs to show screening and buffer. If there is a fence, he will also have to have a buffer, with shrubs and maintain them. If you want to go any closer to the property line they would need to get a variance. It would be required to have the required amount of parking places for expansion. If they could get an option on the property next door, it would change where the buffer could be and the parking spaces. They will have to come back to the next meeting with the corrected plan. RE: DISCUSSION OF A VARIANCE FOR RAY LOVELAND (STONE'S TRAILER COURT) Ray Loveland was at the meeting requesting a variance to just have a 5' • • setback instead of 15' in the front yard, where he is going to put his trailer park expansion and storage units. The existing trailer court is on the property line. All the businesses along that street are on the property line. The board told him to change the setback from what ~~~ the ordinance requires would set a negative precedence. To give a • variance it would need to fit the requirements for a variance. Jim Long suggested that he could eliminate one storage unit, to give him enough room. Ray decided to not go to public hearing. Mary Ann Mounts had to leave the meeting. RE: REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR STORAGE UNITS AT W 4TH S Nadine Sutton was at the meeting representing Mark Jensen to present an application for a Conditional Use Permit for storage units on West 4th South. She explained the plan. It will have to go to Public Hearing. Mr Jensen will have to come to the hearing with a site plan drawn to scale. RE: VARIANCE - TIM COOPER Tim Cooper was at the meeting to apply for a variance for the property at 250 East 2nd South, previously owned by Ted Garner. The property is a 50' wide lot. The house would be 24.5' and they would need a variance on the West of 3' and on the East of 7'. It would just be for a residence, it would be two story. It was recommended that we go to Public Hearing. RE: VARIANCE - GORDON TYCHSEN Gordon Tychsen was at the meeting to request a variance. He had already • poured the concrete about nine years ago. for a shed on his property at 5' from the property line. It needs to be 20 feet. Is there any way he could get a variance. There is a vacant lot behind him. He was told he would have to meet the requirements of a variance. He decided not to go to public hearing. RE: PLOT PLAN FOR 4 PLEX APARTMENTS - TERRY LEISHMAN Terry Leishman showed a plot plan for some Four Plex Apartments at Block 42 Lot 2. It is zoned MDR. No problem with this plan. RE: SIDEWALK - DISTRICT 7 HEALTH DEPARTMENT John Millar said we had a request from District 7 Health Department to not put in sidewalks. The board stated that they would have to put the sidewalk in. RE: IMPACT ZONE DISCUSSED Eric Erickson was at the meeting to inquire about the Impact Zone. He asked where we were. John Millar told him the County is proceeding and the city plan to scale back the Impact Area and possibly have lighter control on the Impact Zone. Mr Erickson told the board the people in the subdivision out by the Rexburg Stake Center have some concerns. They want to be included in the Impact Zone. They want to be informed • when there are any meetings or Public Hearings on the Impact Zone. He was told they need to put together what they want and get a petition n ~`!• and bring it back to this board. They also need to get their concerns to the County. They felt that zoning was a protection. They don't want the expense of being in the city. RE: MORE HOMES IN SHERWOOD HILLS - FINISHING 5TH S. & HARVARD John Millar explained to the board that they want to sell somemore homes in Sherwood Hills and are going to finish 5th South. They wonder what can be done about Harvard. They are willing to finish their half, but don't want to finish the other half for the property owners across the road. The board felt that the city needed to get those property owners to pay their share or condemn the property. RE: DISCUSSION ON SIGNS Cotton Tree Inn has to move their sign and wants to put it across the street on the corner of the property owned by Horkleys, where the old V1 Station was. We have no ordinance so we can't stop them. The board wondered if the Mayor could appeal to Dr Peterson. That would be a poor .location. The next meeting will be on June 9 and the regular meeting will be on June 30. RE: MEMBER OF TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE NEEDED AT P & Z MEETINGS `~ • It was suggested that a member of the Traffic Safety Committee attend the P & Z meetings. Meeting adjourned. C,
