All Aye RE: SITE PLANS FOR JAIL AND EAST MAIN SQUARE DISCUSSED TOPIC: (400,50,,,SITE PLANS,EAST MAIN SQUARE,JAIL,STORM DRAINAGE, ALLEYS,LANDSCAPING,SNOW STORAGE) John Watson declared a conflict of interest. He presented plans for the Jail Site Plan and East Main Square Site Plan. The new jail is separate from the courthouse. The quonset on the lot will be torn down and the blacksmith shop was torn down. The jail facility will be on the back of the lot. The parking on the west is not the county's parking lot. There will be a drive through between the courthouse and the jail. They are proposing that they build right on the property line. There is some confusion as to where the property line is. The zoning is C.B.D. so they can build to the property line. (he also showed future expansion of the jail, at this point the county does not own the property shown for expansion) Discussion on closing the alley by the jail. There will be a security fence around the jail. Right now there are 68 parking places on this property. With the new layout there are 48 which means they loose 20 parking spaces. The county is negotiating with the property owners of the property on the west for a joint agreement to use that parking. On the East Main Square plan they picked up the Ard property which is 50 spaces. This would be a net gain of 30 and a lot of the uses in the current building will be transferred to East Main Square. The parking has to be within 200 feet. Discussion on landscaping. John Watson stated some issues he needs some direction on is Storm Drainage. He stated that he was sure they met the requirements of the ordinance for landscaping. The direction he got from the county is to maximize parking. He asked about the ownership of the alley. A lot of utilities are in the alley and asked if that was a dedicated alley? John Millar stated as he remembered, it is dedicated up to the west property line, but is not an alley clear through. Jim asked who maintains it because it is full of chuck holes? John Millar stated it was the city's responsibility, 5/ (discussion on ownership of alley and property line} (discussion on drainage) John Millar read 5.9 of the ordinance requirements for parking in C.B.D. Across the street parking is within 200 feet. John Millar told him the only thing he needed to watch was the 10~ for Landscaping and snow storage. That would not apply to the old parking lot. The only thing that is stopping giving the approval is the storm drainage, which he will need to work out with Joe. John Millar felt there are enough issues that he needs to bring it back the jail plan. He needs to get with all the department heads and have them look at it. RE: EAST MAIN SQUARE SITE PLAN APPROVED TOPIC: (400,51,,,EAST MAIN SQUARE,SITE PLANS) A motion was made by Davawn that we approve East Main Square site plan pending Joe and the council approval of the access to the parking and meeting the landscape, drainage and snow storage requirements. Seconded by Jim Long. A11 Aye RE: RANDALL SUMMERWOOD ADDITION FOR TOWN HOUSE SITE PLAN TOPIC: (400,51,,,SUMMERWOOD ADDITION,TOWN HOUSES,LOT SIZES,LOT LINE, SITE PLANS) hair t o c John Millar declared a conflict of interest and asked Mary Ann the next 2 issues, the Randall Summerwood Addition for Town House Site Plat. There has been a conditional use permit approved. Taking the 2.97 acres and divide it by the 8000 square foot minimum lot size, it gives you 16.2 lots it could be divided into. The developer wanted to get 18 but 16 will fit on the property and 16 have been drawn on the plat. This is not a P.U.D. where you have a lot of open space. There is a minimum of 19 feet between the buildings. They have met all of the setbacks, side yard, rear yard, front yard. These will be zero lot line developments with a fenced patio behind each building that will come back about 20 or 25 feet, other than that it will be common open area. Joe questioned the lot frontage around the cul-de-sac. In the zero lot line concept that we approved, it says "any deviation from requirements of the P&Z Ordinance must appear in writing on the face of the site plan and subdivision plat and must be approved by P&Z Commission in the issuance of the Conditional Use Permit."(discussion) J. D. stated that the board can approve those deviations, they just have to appear on the front of the plat. We approved the Conditional Use permit in concept but we have not issued the conditions. We need to establish the conditions. John will bring it back to the next meeting. John Bowen stated that there is a community maintenance of common lots. (discussion on trees and sidewalk) John Millar stated that we had talked about giving a little on the front yard setback because of the requirement of putting the sidewalk back away from the curb. He did not remember if a decision was made. (tabled to next meeting) ~~. • RE: WALKER ACRES SUBDIVISION DISCUSSED TOPIC: (400,52,,,WALKER ACRES SUBDIVISION,ARTERIALS,BARNEY DAIRY ROAD) Walker Acres Subdivision (Mary Ann chaired this issue also} He explained that all the lots to the east were sold and built on a long time ago. The two lots on the west have not been built on, so it had been platted to clean it up. In the Impact Zone it is required to have 150 feet in R.R. (discussion) Joe stated that we are showing half of a 60 foot street. This is to become an arterial street coming into town and there should be a 90 foot right-a-way. John Millar, J. D. and Rose told him that was one of the roads that the county dropped as an arterial. Joe stated that even if the county dropped it as an arterial it should not concern us, as a City Planning Commission, it should become a city problem and we should be able to designate it as an arterial. John said the only change is the two new lots I & J. This is only saying it is put together on a plat to comply with State law. Joe felt the Planning Board should recommend the street width even if it was in the county with a minimum width of 90 feet for an arterial. Each property owner in the future will give up 15 feet of right-a-way but if it was a 90 foot right-a-way they would have to give up 45 feet. Davawn asked if the county had not designated that road as an arterial, what the options were? John stated that he was not sure he could go back to the property owners and tell them the city wants them to donate 45 feet instead of 15 feet,. they might say they won't sign the plat. Mary Ann asked if we have a legal right to ask that? J. D. stated that is why he questioned it, if the county has not designated it as an arterial, how can the city change it. Joe stated that if it is in the Impact Zone it is our responsibility and we should be able to designate it. J. D. said when we had a joint meeting with the County Commissioners they specified they did not want that road and Millhollow to be arterials. Jim stated what if we made it an arterial and the county decided to put the arterial someplace else and we end up with a wide road going to the cemetery? Joe said you can't throw this road away as an arterial, it will become an arterial. (discussion on design of roads) The board questioned the legality of the issue. A motion was made by Davawn to table it to the next meeting and in the mean time study the issue. Seconded by John Watson A11 Aye except Jim Long voting nay., John Millar told the board we need to suggest a new member for the P&Z. The mayor had suggested Clint Kingsford or Mike Thueson. The board suggested Ray Loveland, Pam Bowen, Randall Porter, Gordon Tychsen. RE: RICKS COLLEGE PURCHASED PROPERTY ON CORNELL & 3RD SOUTH TOPIC: (400,52,,,RICKS COLLEGE,CORNELL,3RD SOUTH,PARKING LOTS) Davawn told the board that the College had purchased the property on the Cornell and 3rd South for a parking lot. Meeting adjourned.
