RE: PLANS FOR STORAGE SHEDS ON S 5TH W - DOUG RASMUSSEN
TOPIC: (400,43,,,5TORAGE SHEDS,RASMUSSEN*DOUG,STORM DRAINAGE,5TH WEST,
FIRE CODE)
Doug Rasmussen was not in attendance at the meeting so Joe presented
his plans for storage sheds on South 5th West, North of of the Railroad
Track, which is zoned Industrial. It is next to Melaleuca. He is
proposed is taking the existing building. He has a slab on the north
side and he is going to build a building on that slab, a ten unit
storage shed that would face to the north and a another building on the
west of the existing building and it would be sloped in both
directions. Coming down along the side would be 18 rental storage
units, they would, slope in one direction from front to back. The other
rental units slop from front toward the railroad tracks. There would
be a four foot high concrete wall and 2x4 construction above the
concrete wall. The access would be off of 5th West. Drainage-He said
he would get with the neighbors and Joe told him they would need
somekind of an agreement that would cover storm drainage. He said they
would put it into the irrigation ditch. The interior will go to a
french drain. (discussion)
Dee Owens said they reviewed the plan and the main problem they have is
access to the back part of the buildings. The fire code says 150
feet. He suggested that he eliminate one or two units to give access.
Another thing is water supply to the area, people would not be living
on the property and they do have a fire hydrant within 150 feet._He is
complying with what it is zoned for.
A motion was made by Mary Ann Mounts to approve the plan with the
condition that he meets the fire code. Seconded by Davawn Beattie.
A11 Aye.

Tract 4, (Upper Valley Electric) Highway Business District (HBD)
Tract 5, (Walters Ready Mix) Industrial (I}
John opened the hearing for public comment. Gordon Thatcher,
representing Bryce Thatcher from Ultimate Directions was at the meeting
to discuss their property. Ultimate Directions is a manufacturing
plant, that is the main purpose and is an Industrial Use. The entire
17 acres will probably be Industrial Use. They want to request that
they be zoned Industrial rather than H.B.D. to be conforming to what
they are and what they will be.
Eric questioned Tract 2 Horkley? John told him the council had agreed
that they would be brought in under grandfathering the sale of beer an
Sunday.
A motion was made by Jim Long to change Tract 3 Ultimate Directions
property to Light Industrial as opposed to H.B.D. and annex that
property. (discussion on present zoning). Seconded by Davawn Beattie.
All Aye
A discussion that Upper Valley Electric had decided they didn't want to
be annexed, however the city have requested that they be annexed.
A motion was made by Jim Long to recommend that Upper Valley Electric
be included in the Light Industrial Zone as well and be annexed.

RE: PLAN REVIEW FOR APARTMENT COMPLEX - DAVE RASMUSSEN
TOPIC: (400,44,,,RASMUSSEN*DAVE,APARTMENTS,WEST WINDS,PLOT PLANS,
DRAINAGE,PARKING,SETBACKS)
Dave Rasmussen- Plan review for apartment complex. He is going to do a
six plea now. When he did his last development, he was required to
submit a plot plan of the full development. This will be an addition
to West Winds. He has drainage on site. John indicated that the two
parking spots in the setback zone needed to be changed, no parking is
allowed in the setback area. It does not meet the setback requirement
but it does meet the criteria under existing buildings. Discussion on
the sidewalk and the grade and who had the liability. John told him to
get with Joe to make sure the parking is adequate. A motion was made
by Davawn Beattie to approve the plot plan as shown with the adjustment
of the parking on the N. W. corner to meet the setback area. Seconded
by Eric Erickson. All Aye
RE: VARIANCE REQUEST FOR HOUSE ON CORNER OF 1ST S & HARVARD
TOPIC: (400,45,,,VARIANCES,IST SOUTH,HARVARD)
Ted Whyte declared a conflict of interest. He was requesting a
variance on the corner of 1st South and Harvard for a house prior to a
sale on the property. He showed drawings and explained. The house the
perspective buyers are proposing to put on the property would not fit
on the lot unless they got a variance. The lot on Harvard is 57 3/4
inch wide, showing the dimensions of the house they want to put on the
lot. They are short with the 19 feet from the house to the street on
Harvard and that is where they are asking for the variance and also the
total lot size should be 8000 to meet the requirements and it is about
7200. The board felt there was no problem with the size but the house
plan is in question. Existing substandard lots are grandfathered.
John stated if he lined the house up more they would not need a
variance. The board stated they were having a hard time with
"Hardship" for the lot with with this house plan. Ted was just asking
for a feeling of the board on this property. We have to comply with
the four criteria items of the ordinance. John told him there was
maybe but no guarantee.
