RE: PAPA ALDOS PIZZA PLAN REVIEW • TOPIC: (300,198,,,PAPA ALDOS,PLAN REVIEWS,2ND EAST,IST NORTH) Papa A1do's Pizza on corner of 2nd East and 1st North South East. Everything looked fine on the plan. Rather than holding him up two weeks we gave him a tentative approval and told him to get a building permit. A motion was made by Jim Long and seconded by Ted Whyte to approve the plan. All Aye RE: BUSINESS PARK FINAL PLAT TOPIC: (300,198,,,BUSINESS PARK,FINAL PLANS,SIDEWALKS,SETBACKS) Business Park Final Plat this has been before the group several times. At the previous meeting it was recommended to give it tentative approval. It had been reviewed by all the department heads. They changed the restrictive covenants to address the sidewalks as we had asked them. They also changed the setbacks on the buildings. A motion was made by Marsha Bjornn to accept the Final Plat, seconded by Richard Smith. John Millar declared a conflict of interest. All others voting Aye. RE: ARTCO FINAL PLAT TOPIC: (300,198,,,ARTCO,FINAL PLANS) Artco Final Plat. This is the same situation as the Business Park.

RE: RICKS PALMER FINAL SUBDIVISION PLAT PHASE 3 TOPIC: (300,199,,,RICKS/PALMER SUBDIVISION,FINAL PLATS) Ricks Palmer Final Subdivision Plat Phase 3- The lots meet his restrictive covenants and our ordinance. With the question earlier with selling off the piece of property to the church, it cleared that up and cleaned those lots up with this plat. A motion was made by Richard Smith and seconded by Marsha Bjornn to approve the plat. John Millar declared a conflict of interest. All others voting nay. RE: SITE PLAN FOR THE COLLEGE RELIGION/HUMANITIES BUILDING TOPIC: (300,199,,,SITE PLANS,RELIGION BUILDING,RICKS COLLEGE,A.D.A, SIDEWALKS,PARKING,STORM DRAINAGE,ROADS,FIRE DEPARTMENT) Site Plan for The College Religion/Humanities Building- Davawn Beattie declared a conflict of interest. They made some fairly significant changes from the site plan we had previously looked at and Joe thought it needed to come back to this group for review. Sam Stone from Ricks College presented the plan. The parking is moved a little bit farther East. The service road has changed, it shows the parking and the retention ponds. The service road comes down and instead of coming straight through, it now turns to maintain the current configuration of • the picnic area and the trees and scrubs that surround it on the North side. Bringing the road straight through would have destroyed much of that, so they turned the road which brings the road over closer to the building for some A.D.A. access and also puts a little off set into the road so someone at the top of the road can't see straight through. This is a benefit to slow traffic down. The width of the road is 20 feet, it is not a public road. Marsha asked if there was a sidewalk along the road? Mr Stone said in the future they intend to put sidewalk on the north side of the road. Currently it is not designed with a sidewalk. John was concerned that a 20 foot road you could barely squeeze two cars past, he felt 24 was the required footage. Reed Wyatt stated the reason it is a 20 foot road was because of the trees they wanted to save. (discussion on sidewalk) As they develope the administration building other development such as sidewalks will be put in. Mack explained the drop off area of Manwaring Center and putting in an elevator in the lower level by the book store to preserve some of the accessibilities of the building for older people. John told them one of the main problems with this plan which has had a lot of discussion is storm drainage. They are providing two two foot deep ponds. Sam told him there are three ponds in one area and one in another area. John asked how the drainage would flow out of the ponds be controlled? Sam explained how they would be emptied out which would limit the amount of water going out of them. John asked if they had provided Joe with any calculations on storage quantity and run off flow? Sam said he had not, possibly the engineers had. John told him • Joe would need to see that. He said he had a real concern about the road width because of safety. ~a~ j~ Dee Owens representing the Fire Department was at the meeting. They ~' had a little problem with access but because it was a full sprinkler building they could grant them an exemption. The Fire Department felt comfortable with it. Joe had looked at it and saw no problem and no problem with parking. A motion was made by Jim Long to approve the plan subject to Joe's final review. Seconded by Richard Smith. Davawn Beattie abstained. All Other voting aye. RE: APPLICATION FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR TOE GOE SALVAGE YARD TOPIC: (300,200,,,C.U.P.,SALVAGE YARDS,ZONING,PUBLIC HEARINGS) Application for Conditional Use Permit for Tom Goe Salvage Road. (showing plan} John explained that we had talked earlier about a zone change. In going through and reviewing the ordinance, it was not clear and not clearly defined whether it would or would not require a zone change because of the use of the property and it drops into one of those "Other" categories. Because of that in discussing it with J.D. we decided it would be best if we left it without a zone change but considered it as a Conditional Use Permit. It helps zoning in a couple of ways, (1) it gives us a little more say as to what goes there and (2) if this business goes in there and does not make it we are not left with a piece of Industrial Zoned property in a business area. ~ Richard explained that we met with the City Council and told them our • trouble with the definitions in the ordinance. We received direction from the council saying before anyone recommends a Conditional Use Permit, that we communicate with Mr Goe and they talk with their neighbors to try to resolve any issues. The last he heard John was going to notify Mr Goe. John said he talked to Mr Goe's attorney and he asked John if he would work with him in meeting with the neighbors and John told him by law he could not. John recommended that he get with the neighbors and see if he could convince them of the benefits of his project but he had not heard anything back. The purpose of this meeting tonight is to review the application for a Conditional Use Permit. We have three options- we can table it for more information, we can deny the Conditional Use Permit or we can recommend it to proceed to Public Hearing which is the next step. It is in the Impact Zone, when a vote is given here it is a 50-50 vote as set up in our governing requirements, that the three Impact Zone Members have the same voting power as the board members here. Eric asked if we recommend to the City Council and the County Commissioners if they then hold a joint hearing? John said there would be two hearings one before this commission and one before the elected officials. We do not have to make conditions until after the public hearings. If we deny it they can go to an appeal process. Mary Ann stated that the neighbors opinion is just one element. The City Council were the ones that requested that the Mr Goe and the neighbors meet. John said after we have the public hearing, then we • need to work with the group possibly in a joint meeting with the City Council and County Commissioners if we intend to issue a Conditional =L • Use Permit and set up what conditions are to be established and how will those conditions be monitored and enforced or that it be denied. Mary Ann felt we should go to public hearing, because she felt it was a unique business that is not defined. A motion was made by Mary Ann Mounts to recommend that we go to Public Hearing for a Conditional Use Permit for a Auto Dismantling Yard. Seconded by Davawn Beattie. All Aye. John stated that we would proceed with a Public Hearing. RE: INQUIRY ABOUT DESIGNATION OF ROADS IN THE IMPACT ZONE TOPIC: (300,201,,,IMPACT ZONE,STREETS,ROADS) Richard asked Jerry Jeppesen if they had made a decision on the final designation of roads in the Impact Zone. Jerry said they had not acted on it. Richard told him: we need to proceed to get that completed. RE: DISCUSSION ON THE CLARKS USED CAR LOT ON 2ND WEST & MAIN STREET TOPIC: (300,201,,,USED CAR LOT5,CLARKS,2ND WEST,MAIN STREET) Discussion on the Clarks Used Car Lot across from B.M.C. West. They questioned why it had not been paved. They are selling every thing on that lot. Last Saturday they had the whole lot covered with yard sales. It looks a mess. Table it to the next meeting. Meeting Adjourned. •
