HomeMy WebLinkAboutP&Z MINUTES JULY 13, 1994y` DATE: (071394) Planning & Zoning 07/13/94 Present were: Chairman: John Millar Members: Jerry Jeppesen Eric Erickson Mary Ann Mounts Jim Long Davawn Beattie John Watson Richard Smith City Clerk: Rose Bagley Councilman: Bruce Sutherland Attorney: Steve Zollinger Engineer: Joe Laird A motion was made by Jerry Jeppesen and seconded by Davawn Beattie to approve the minutes of May 19. All Aye RE: IMPACT ZONE JURISDICTION DISCUSSED TOPIC: (300,76,,,IMPACT ZONE,COUNTY COMMISSIONERS,CITY COUNCIL) Jerry stated that there was some issues in those minutes that need to be discussed. A statement was made that city retain jurisdiction of the Impact Zone. Jerry's understanding is the Planning & Zoning Board would have say like a P&Z capacity and make recommendations and if people don't like what we say they would go to the city council and county commissioners. Under that form that does not take jurisdiction away from county commissioners. We need to remind every commissioner that they have signed off on that part of the process. He explained to Eric once the Impact Zone goes in, those things that happen in the Impact Area will be brought before this commission. This commission will have discretion according to how the ordinance is written, but when it is something different or something those people don't agree with, then they have the opportunity to go to the city council or county commissioners and ask them to reverse a decision. The two of those have to agree or it goes to arbitration. Maybe we need to educate people as to what our authority is. We talked about Farm to Market roads and Millhollow can not be considered a Farm to Market Road because it is too dangerous. John asked if we want to provide it some protection from total frontage development? A Farm to Market road is discouraged but it is used a lot. Jerry felt it was a matter left up to the city at this point.

TOPIC: (300,77,,,C.U.P.,SITE PLANS,LDS CHURCH,RANDALL CORPORATION) Site plan for the Church off of North 5th West and a request for a Conditional Use Permit. Scott Nielson, Call Nielson Bodily Architects in Idaho Falls, presented the plans. Showing the plans. They have laid \~ it out according to standard church policy in terms of the number of parking places they would like to have. The Randall Corporation is the developer and there is a development agreement between them and the church. According to church policy, they develope approximately 5 acres for meeting house property. The recreation area is separate and they will do some developing of that. We don't know exactly when it will be, but they anticipate it will come along with the building. It consists of a softball area and play field with no lighting involved at this point and a picnic area. They are providing spaces for 289 cars parking. It is anticipated that there will be three wards in the building and then potentially four units in time. At this point they have complied with the ordinances they are aware of. They are planning on running a fence along the full perimeter of the north property line and where ever they are in direct contact with residential lots, they will put a fence, probably a cedar fence mounted on steel fence posts. Discussion of handicapped accesses. Bruce told him we would require 5' sidewalks. Mr Nielson stated that the church prefers 6' sidewalks. The board told him it was a nice site plan. A motion was made by Jim Long to proceed to a Public Hearing, seconded by Davawn Beattie. All Aye. John Millar told the board that Bob Lee had resigned. Mayor Boyle had asked Eric Erickson to be on the Planning Board. The County Commissioners will have to concur with this appointment. He welcomed Mr Erickson to the board. ~~ RE: DISCUSSION OF SIDEWALKS, CURB & GUTTER,PARKWAYS (LANDSCAPED STRIPS),ETC. TOPIC: (300,78,,,SIDEWALKS,CURB & GUTTERS,PARKWAYS) John Millar stated that at the last meeting Mary Ann brought up that she would like a park strip between curb gutter and sidewalk. At that time he felt that in the middle of a subdivision we should not change the rules. It is a good idea and we possibly need to pursue it further, that we require a wider right-a-way and some dimension of park strip between curb and gutter and sidewalk. (discussion on sidewalk ordinance) We would have to amend our subdivision ordinance. Possibly move the setback five feet. Richard asked Joe about the enforcement of sidewalks for new homes? Joe explained since the first of the year we have .required a letter stating they will put a sidewalk in when the sidewalks are put in on that street. The council did not see reasoning of making one person on the street put sidewalk in when no one on the street had sidewalks. The board did not think that was enough. John Millar said that we do' need to address that we do provide enough parking length in the driveway so you don't block the sidewalk. Bruce said he had complaints from people that walk that there are cars parked on the sidewalk. The board felt we need more enforcement. • <" Joe asked if he could have a committee work with him to set up the curb l to curb widths on the various streets that would go along with the addition of the landscaping strip. Jim Long felt there should be wording in the ordinance requiring maintenance of the landscaped strip. RE: MOTION PASSED TO HAVE SIDEWALK COMMITTEE LOOK AT THE ADDITION OF PARKWAYS TOPIC: (300,78,,,5IDEWALKS,SIDEWALK COMMITTEE,PARKWAYS) A motion was made by Davawn Beattie that we recommend that the sidewalk committee look at the addition of parkways with the appropriate regulations and that they coordinate it with the Forestry Committee. Seconded by Mary Ann Mounts. All Aye Richard suggested that Joe bring a recommendation to this committee on what he would like to see as to the width of streets curb to curb. Bruce suggested that he should work with the Traffic Safety Committee on this. RE: REGULATIONS REGARDING MANUFACTURED HOMES TOPIC: (300,78,,,MANUFACTURED HOMES) John discussed the modified H.B 669 about Manufactured Housing. That on or before July 1, 1996 the each governing board will amend their Comprehensive Plan and Land Use regulations for all residential zones to allow Manufactured homes. It can be governed by Restrictive Covenants or by restrictions that would also apply to stick built homes such as square footage, roof slope, or eve over hang. We will have to look at amending our ordinance. ~~ '~ RE: DISCUSSION OF CURB & GUTTER BY WAL MART AND HORKLEY INTERSECTION TOPIC: (300,79,,,CURB & GUTTER,WAL MART,HORKLEY'S,STOP LIGHTS) John Millar explained the proposed project on North Highway to continue the curb and gutter where it ends by Walmart and Horkleys clear to Railroad and widen that street to four lanes clear to the railroad with a turn lane in the middle and signalized intersection at the road where the Sugar City road ties in. The state said they would coordinate that signal so where the road goes into American Potato they will have easy access out of that road and it will be tied in with the railroad crossing. RE: DISCUSSION OF BEEHIVE CREDIT UNION & ISSUING OCCUPANCY FERMITS TOPIC: (300,79,,,BEEHIVE CREDIT UNION,OCCUPANCY PERMITS,VARIANCES) • i• Questions on what happened to the Beehive Credit Union. He is coming to the next meeting to request a variance. The board felt Occupancy Permits should not be given until they comply with all restrictions put on the site plan by this board. What good is a site review and plan review, if we are just going to approve it and not follow up? After we approve a site plan, it should be subject to that before they get an occupancy Permit. A motion was made by Mary Ann Mounts to recommend to the city council that we deny an Occupancy Permit until they meet requirements made by this board. Richard stated that we are not having our Zoning Ordinance enforced and we need to come up with a way to enforce it. It might be a good idea to have it spelled out on the permit that these things need to be done before they get an Occupancy Permit. Mary Ann changed her motion to state that the Planning & Zoning recommend to the city council to deny a Certificate of Occupancy until certain criteria is met and that the people are told about it when they get their building permit, so they are forewarned and they sign a paper saying they will meet this criteria. Seconded by Jim Long. All Aye RE: DISCUSSION OF GRANDFATHER CLAUSE IN THE IMPACT ZONE TOPIC: (300,79,,,GRANDFATHER CLAUSE,IMPACT ZONE) Jerry mentioned that they wanted a clear definition added about what is a Grandfather Clause. Richard stated he felt it important that we preclude any language regarding pre-existing used in the ordinance its self. Pre-existing use sort of stands by itself. If we inventory a certain parcel of property that would be great but don't talk about it being Grandfathered or a Pre-existing use. RE: DISCUSSION OF AGRICULTURAL ZONES IN THE THE IMPACT ZONE TOPICS: (300,79,,,AGRICULTURAL ZONES,IMPACT ZONE) Jerry asked how do you determine which is Al and which is A2? Sakota's are an example, they are asking to come in under A2, when they really don't have an A2 operation. The only property on the map A2 is Dell Barney, the map has not been revised since Archibalds have decided to come in. Archibalds want to come in at A2. ~~ ~~ The board felt these definitions as they stand do no show where we are now after our discussions. Discussion on the zone that Shiro Fujimoto's property should be. They talked about abandonment. Discussion on all Agricultural Zones. RE: DEFINITION OF RURAL RESIDENTIAL ZONE IN THE IMPACT ZONE TOPIC: (300,80,,,RURAL RESIDENTIAL ZONE,IMPACT ZONE) A motion was made by Jerry Jeppesen that in the Rural Residential, any person who has one or more acres over his building lot size be permitted to have two head of livestock per acre. Lots that exceed 1 1/2 acres be allowed two head of livestock per acre over the 1 1/2 acre. Seconded by Jim Long. All Aye Rural Residential only applies up to 5 acres. Discussion to inventory property for pre-existing use and if not abandoned for 5 years if exists, if the use does not change. (discussion) RE: AGRICULTURAL 1 ZONE TOPIC: (300,80,,,AGRICULTURAL 1 ZONE,IMPACT ZONE) A motion was made by Richard Smith that the land to be zoned Al in the Impact Zone be inventoried to determine existing use with regard to livestock. We grant to the land owners with livestock existing uses based upon ranges, that would be defined by the committee and that we will recognize those ranges as existing uses on the particular parcel of property. The existing uses will be subject to abandonment of non use for a period of five years. As a parcel decreases, the recognized existing use reduces in number proportionately. Seconded by Jerry Jeppesen. All Aye. (discussion) RE: AGRICULTURAL 2 ZONE TOPIC: (300,80,,,AGRICULTURAL 2 ZONE,IMPACT ZONE) Leave A2 as it is. Somewhere we need to get a range as to what is a cow calf operation or a feed yard. Richard suggested that instead of looking at feed lots, poultry and egg farms, hog farms, dog kennels etc, why not take all that and say maximum livestock per acre is (X). John Millar stated that a feed lot has more potential for odor than a cow calf operation. Richard said it is a density issue on per acre basis. We will develope a definition for a feed lot. RE: CHANGE IN THE RURAL RESIDENTIAL REQUIREMENTS TOPIC: (300,80,,,RURAL RESIDENTIAL ZONE,IMPACT ZONE) A motion was made by Richard Smith that we change the requirement in R.R. from 5 acres 1.5 acres. Seconded by Jim Long. All Aye Discussion on controlled access onto major arterials. Steve was asked • to review the cor<trolled access restrictions. Meeting adjourned.
