D. Hancock Councilman: Jim Flamm A motion was made by Davawn Beattie and seconded by Mary Ann Mounts to approve the minutes. All Aye RE: R.V. PARKING - RICHARD SMITH: 502 SOUTH 5TH WEST • Richard and Carolyn Smith were at the meeting to discuss a R. V. • parked at 502 South 5th West which is zoned Commercial. Because it is zoned commercial they felt they should be able to leave their R. V. Trailer in their driveway. The property is surrounded by Commercial property. The trailer is about 5 to 10 feet back of the curb. John told them they would have to be back of the property line. It is only parked there in the summer. It is parked in HBD. The board told them as long as it is not on city property and obstructing the view it would be allowed. The ordinance was intended for residential zones. RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR BRENCHLEY APARTMENTS, DISCUSSED Greg Luce - Gave the council the application for a Conditional Use Permit and presented plans for a 30 unit addition to Brenchley Apartments, a Senior Citizens complex. It is zoned H.D.R. and is off from 4th West and 5th South. The addition and the existing apartments would be connected with sidewalks between the buildings. They are going to try to work with the Senior Citizen Center to get a meal delivery so instead of meals on wheels to all of the people there, they could deliver to a central point. They would set up one of the community areas for recreation and one set up more for dining. They both have dining areas and recreations areas. People will have friends in the other building, so in time they would probably cover the sidewalk with a hand rail. They have done an Environmental Assessment and feel it is a good addition to the city. They have a Security System and at 10:00 P. M. the doors are locked. (discussion) A motion was made by Jerry Jeppesen and seconded by Scott Mortensen to proceed • with a Public Hearing for a Conditional Use Permit. All Aye f"' RE: SIDEWALK BY BLAINE SHAWS CONDOMINIUMS - SOUTH 2ND WEST Davawn Beattie was concerned about sidewalks at the condominiums built by Blaine Shaw on South 2nd West. The college is going to put in sidewalks and wonder when he will do his. The college would like to put their sidewalks in conjunction with Blaine Shaw. John told him that we let him go without putting the sidewalks in until he goes to Phase 2. He thought there was a time limit and would check with the mayor. Davawn said there was a lot of walking traffic on that road. They would probably put the sidewalk on the other side at the same time. John and the Mayor had previously made an arrangement with Blaine as to when he would put the sidewalks in. Davawn said they would go ahead and put in their sidewalks. RE: PAVING AND LANDSCAPING AT CLEAN SPOT LAUNDRY - 1ST W. OFF OF MAIN Davawn also asked what is happening with the paving and landscaping at the laundry. The committee stated that the occupancy permit should not have been issued until it was all done. Rose would check on it. RE: DESERET INDUSTRIES A discussion about the mess at the D. I. RE: BUILDING INSPECTOR The board discussed that Terry should come to the Planning and Zoning Meetings. RE: SIGN ORDII3ANCE Davawn handed out some information for a Sign Ordinance. He asked everyone to fill out a form he gave them as to what would be allowed under different classifications of signs and bring them back to the next meeting so he could work on an ordinance. RE: GARAGE SALE SIGNS - SIGNS ON MAIN STREET SIDEWALKS Garage sale signs were discussed. The signs need to be taken down the next day and it is illegal to put them on utility poles and stop signs. They are costing the city money to take them down and clean them up. We could cite them for littering. This should be discussed at City Council. A discussion on signs on the sidewalks on Main Street. Davawn stated if there is anything specific that we need to talk about, please make a note. He handed out an ordinance from Twin Falls and felt it was simple and good. Discussion on height, and signs on city property. RE: TREES ON MAIN STREET • A discussion on the trees on Main Street, that need to be pruned. It was felt that the pruning jobs that are being done on the trees is not acceptable. RE: SIDEWALKS & DRY WELLS BY DISTRICT 7 HEALTH & ECIPDA We have a letter from Alderson & Karst Architects for District 7 Health Department in regards to the sidewalk. The public walk is included in the contract. They felt that the other facilities on that street should be required to put in sidewalks. They had a question about the dry wells for street dr-ainage. We also got a letter from ECIPDA- about the sidewalk and also the dry wells. John said two dry wells have been installed already. John said to have them contact him and he would work with them on it. RE: PUBLIC HEARING CANCELLED FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR MARK JENSEN Public Hearing for Mark Jensen for a conditional use permit to construct household storage rental units located between 4th and 5th West on 4th South. The people agplying for the permit was not at the meeting to attend the hearing, so it would have to be canceled. RE: CONCERN ABOUT TRAFFIC ON 4TH S & 4TH - 5TH WEST Janice Allison 405 West 4th South was at the meeting to comment even though the hearing was canceled. This property is zoned commercial next to a residential area and there are children coming and going and crossing the highway. The traffic goes around that corner about 45 mph so it would create a traffic hazard for vehicles to pull out on the street. She was concerned if we give them permission for storage units to be put in. The speed limit needs to be slowed down and the road needs to be changed to a single lane with a pull out area. John explained that this would be a low traffic business. She could see a need for a light or a 4 way stop or a single lane. John suggested that we need to have the Traffic Safety Committee look at that area. RE: SIDEWALK, CURB AND GUTTER ALONG TECHNOLOGY WAY A discussion on the sidewalk, curb and gutter along Technology Way and 3rd East. Rose will contact them. RE: DRAINAGE AT CAL RANCH A discussion on the drainage at Cal Ranch (Cal Lake). It is a problem. Ask Farrell to look at it. We need a plat plan for the ASCS office with Curb and gutter and sidewalk. RE: IMPACT ZONE Discussion the Impact Zone. The board discussed the map and spent time talking about the area that we need to scale back. • RE: ZONE CHANGE FOR REX ERICKSON (PONTIAC) - 2ND W. & 4TH-5TH S. 9:00 P. M. Public Hearing for Rex Erickson that the property be zoned HBD rather than HDR as it is presently zoned. The said property is located on the west side of South 2nd West between 4th South and 5th South. No one was at the meeting to comment. Rex said he wanted to put a shop in and expand his business and needed the zone to be changed. A motion was made by Mary Ann Mounts and seconded by Davawn Beattie to recommend that the zone be changed. All Aye RE: SITE PLAN APPROVED FOR REX ERICKSON (PONTIAC) The board checked the Site Plan for Rex Erickson. Discussed the sidewalk, which he would have a step going down or a slop. The sidewalk would be put in and the paving after the construction was finished. A motion was made by Jerry Jeppesen to approve the site plan with the addition of a sidewalk and contingent upon the zone change from the city council. Seconded by Scott Mortensen. All Aye.
