RE: REQUEST FOR C.U.P. FOR BRAD LARSEN - 3RD SOUTH & CORNELL TOPIC: (300,1O1,,,C.U.P.,LARSEN*BRAD,3RD SOUTH,CORNELL) Brad Larson was at the meeting to show a plan and request a Conditional Use Permit for the property on 3rd South and Cornell. Joe had reviewed the plans and handed out a memo to the board. He had adjusted the parking stalls. It is set back for the required setback requirement and landscaping area. He has the proper size isle widths. He has the required parking. He will have to extend the sewer from first street for two service lines. There is water down the alley and street. If the water and power comes in from the one side there would need to be an easement in case one lot is sold. With the parking and driveway there would have to be a joint agreement. Joe explained that if it is two lots, there can be a duplex on each lot. If it is one lot, there can only be one duplex. Discussion on the drainage. There also needs to be a landscaping or screening of some kind between a parking lot and the adjacent residents. A fence is shown on the plans.. The board felt a fence would be okay. A recommendation was made by Jim Long to go to Public Hearing for the Conditional Use Permit at the next regular meeting. All Agreed. RE: PLAN REVIEW FO PROPERTY ON 6TH S AND 5TH W - LINDA EAMES TOPIC: (300,101,,,PLAN REVIEWS,6TH 5OUTH,5TH WEST,EAMES*LINDA) Linda Eames- Plan review for the property on 6th South and 5th West. It was determined there could be 18 units in that density and is zoned for that. She was told you can't have parking in the set back but the plan could be moved back. There would need to be a 5' sidewalk with a landscaping strip between that and the street. There would need to be fencing between parking lot and residents. (Jim Long stated that we need to emphasize to the city that there will not be any parking allowed in the setback area.) John Millar told Linda that the plan appears to be okay from a Planning & Zoning concept, but she would need to have Joe and the department heads approve the plan. There would need to be a fire hydrant at the end of the parking lot, due to the size of the complex. RE: DISCUSSION OF RIGHT OF WAY ON THE SALEM HIGHWAY TOPIC: {300,102,,,RIGHT OF WAY,SALEM HIGHWAY,STORM DRAINAGE, LANDSCAPING) Discussion on providing a wide enough right-a-way on the Salem Highway. In conjunction with that the city has acquired 23 acres between Ultimate Directions and Artco. The city will be developing it as a Business Park for businesses. Right now it is not in the city limits. John Millar stated we need to discuss the right-a-way on the Salem Highway. The existing right-a-way is an undeeded right-a-way and as are most county right-a-ways with the fences it is 60 feet wide. We have provided an additional forty feet on the east side on this property that would provide for 100 feet of right-a-way. There is no commitment South or North of this property that we can hold it to that. On the west side there are approximately seven homes and a fairly major irrigation ditch that runs the entire length of the Salem highway. Is 100 feet adequate for the right-a-way? The city is proposing an access road that will parallel the main road with access to the lots. There would be a 15 foot minimum green way and for now it would be landscaped over to the road. (Joe explained the plan) Jim talked about Business Parks and Industrial Parks he had seen that provide a lot of open space for landscaping and he felt that this would be the place to establish a model. There will be some bylaws. This is in the county so we can't require anything, but we can recommend. (discussion) The board suggested that the covenants address the landscaping, width of the street and size of the sidewalk and curb and gutter. John Watson suggested that there be french drains for drainage. John Millar stated Federal Funding will be used for utilities and E.P.A. is involved so we can't have french drains. We could have a holding pond and put grass in it. He said E.P.A. is pushing to keep run off on site. (discussion) Joe stated that we need a 105 right-a-way on that road which will give us 7 lanes with a sidewalk on each side. (discussion about the intersection by Horkleys) John Millar told them this is a subdivision plat not a site plat. Site plans will be done individually as the lots are sold off. Jim asked who will own and maintain the roads and green way? Roads and green way will be owned and maintained by the City of Rexburg until such time the ownership is turned over to ownership association. The only dedicated green way is on the Salem Highway. Steve Zollinger suggested that we can require each lot to have a per cent of landscaping in the restrictive covenants. John Watson stated that they can't have it too restrictive or no one can afford to buy the property. (discussion Jim discussed regulations on landscaping) John Millar suggested that they put in the restrictive covenants that they designate the per cent of r 1 ~ ~' landscaping and that a plan review be required by this board. There needs to be setback requirementso Jerry recommended that there be at least 105 feet of right-a-way and we need to .take 5 feet from the other side. RE: REVIEW OF THE SIGN ORDINANCE TOPIC: (SIGN ORDINANCE,UNIFORM SIGH CODE) Joe discussed the sign ordinance. There are three things we need to discuss. The Uniform Sign Code does not set a maximum size of a sign; it does not set a maximum height for signs and it allows for sign post to project over the right-a-way five feet and 16 feet above the ground. John Watson suggested that the Uniform Sign Code matches the Uniform Building Code which he thought was a good idea. (discussion on height) J. D. told the group we could adopt the Uniform Sign Code with modifications. John Millar told the board to review the Ordinance and be ready to make suggestions for adoption. at the work meeting. Mary Ann talked about B.M.C. West ignoring what they agreed to. They still are not keeping the sidewalk cleared. Mary Ann also asked about the road by the Junior High being completely closed with a barricade. The work meeting will be on October 12th at 6:00 P. M. Meeting adjourned.
