RE: ERICKSONS PONTIAC TOPIC: (400,182,,,ERICKSONS PONTIAC,SIDEWALK,LANDSCAPING, SIGN ORDINANCE) • Erickson Pontiac clarification and site plan change. Eric & Rex Erickson was at the meeting to present and discuss these changes. (1) First deals with the sidewalk on 2nd West. When the snow started melting they saw the problem made by sanding that corner, the build up of sand from the corner down about 100 feet was terrible. There was 8" to 10" of red cinders all along the property which was terrible and that is because they have to sand that corner heavily. Because of that they could see that maintaining that grass out against the curb would be difficult. It will never look good, it will be difficult to maintain that as long as they continue to sand that corner. They wanted to move the sidewalk out against the curb, allowing them to maintain a grass strip behind the sidewalk that will be attractive and look good. It would be lined up with the sidewalk along for part of the block. On the corner there is a sidewalk that is about 11 feet wide and it goes for about 90 feet and then it narrows in with a grass strip. There is no sidewalk across the street. (discussion) A motion was made by Davawn Beattie to accept the change in the plan with the sidewalk against the curb and gutter. Seconded by Jim Long. All Aye (2) Eric asked for clarification on the site triangle? The maximum height of anything in the site triangle is 3 feet. The landscaping they are planning in the site triangle will be some boulders. (3) He asked for clarification on the sign ordinance? He understood that a sign could be 65 square feet per frontage. He asked the difference between a free standing sign and a monument sign. Joe • explained and told him he was correct about the square footage of the sign and he could have one on each side. They will also have a sign in the site triangle which will be a monument sign out of rock that will ~' ` fit right in with the boulders. Joe told him they could. also have a • wall type sign on the building. RE: DEAN BIRCH APARTMENTS TOPIC: (400,183,,,BIRCH*DEAN,APARTMENTS,PARKING SPACES) Dean Birch- site plan for an apartment at 255 South 2nd West. Mr Birch explained they want to build a house for the managers where there use to be an old building they had removed. Between their park and Days Inn they want to build a 9 Alex apartment. They will have 290 parking spaces and will have 390 students. The parking is adequate. He showed the landscaping. There will be 6 students in each apartment. John Millar told him for the manager unit they would need 2 parking places plus 38 additional parking spots for the new addition. Joe said there would be more than enough parking spaces. (discussion} The board told him he would need to have an architect draw the plans with all the requirements such as proposed water and sewer facilities, size and location of water lines, fire line flow and location of fire hydrants and the dimensions are not on the plan. John Watson stated there wasn't enough information on the plan to approve it and make sure it would be built that way. The board told him for the single unit for the family, it did not need site approval and they could start with that. The board could accept laic residciat iai Coa:Ccpt bi:t ..Cth~..,g X18£? ...+.. get ~':: +-lt .=:lt ]-1 1t =~ drawn by an architect and approved by this board. John Millar stated . he needs to measure and make sure there is enough green space. He was told he needed to bring the plan back to the next meeting. Joe asked about the area out in front. The ordinance states there is a setback required and there can't be any parking in that setback. There is already asphalt there and he wondered if that would grandfathered it. If it has not been counted as parking now it would not be grandfathered. RE: NEW BROULIMS TOPIC: (400,183,,,BROULIMS,ASSOCIATED FOODS,STORM DRAINS) Associated Food Site Plan.

The property is currently known as Fujimoto property, South of the East West Road and East of the rr^reeway out by the Fiece Good Store by the Interchange. The zoning is Agriculture and he would like it changed to Light Industrial to allow it. It would be North of the Seed Cutting Bu ld' ~ohn M; l1 agl{cd him iF he cuantar7 to ha anngxerj? T,ynn skid ~ny^ . .. ~ ..~ • at this point in time they did not want to be annexed. He had talked to Lynn Vanemery with the Department of Environmental Quality and he is preparing two alternative plans, a preferred plan and an alternate plan for human waste and settling of potato wash water. That would be their preferred method. The D.E.Q. would like to see them hook up the the city water and sewer, if that is economically feasible. Discussion on control of access. John Millar asked Stephen, legally what are the options, can we require that they be annexed? Stephen said you could send the annexation to a hearing, but they could resist the annexation. He was not sure the council would support the P&Z on the annexation. Lynn stated they would have to pull the water and sewer down to their business and but it may make it economically not feasible. If they can go with their own system it will make it very economical. Idaho Department of Water Resources indicate they can drill a well and pump enough water to supply their facility with the needed requirements. John Millar told him one of D.E.Q.'s policies has been to discourage ponds and leakage into the dirt and putting it back into the aguafer. Lynn stated D.E.Q.'s preferred plan is for them to hook onto city sewer and water. Lynn Vanemery with D.E.Q. from Idaho Fa11s will issue a written statement in the next few days on the recommendations. (discussion) Talking about the waste disposal.
