All Aye RE: SITE PLAN FOR LIBRARY TOPIC: (500,41,,,LIBRARY,PLOT PLAN,LANDSCAPING) John Watson showed the board a Site Plan in concept of Library expansion. The Library Board has asked him to put together a preliminary plan to meet their needs for the next ten to fifteen years so they can get a budget and possibly go for a bond. He explained an addition in the back. The parking on the south is owned by the city. The zoning is C.B.C. so they can build to the property line. Discussion on moving the addition back off the property line. John stated he did not feel the back addition would matter and he can't change the existing building. Joe suggested that for long term use they should acquire the building owned by the church for the Distribution Center for parking. They need more room for book storage and computers. There will be a basement. The board felt that if the building used for the Distribution Center becomes available they should try to acquire the property for parking. John stated that he felt the quantity of landscaping is adequate for the ordinance. The addition will be 5580 square feet. r1 LJ • r~ ~J rt ,> RE: LINDA EAMES P.U.D. ON SIXTH SOUTH TOPIC: (500,41,,,P.U.D.,EAMES*LINDA,CURB & GUTTER,RIGHT OF WAY,SZTE PLAN) Linda Eames P.U.D. on Sixth South. Joe felt we should make a new P.U.D. Ordinance and had one from Idaho Falls he felt we might copy after. He gave out a memo on P.U.D. with the regulations listed in our Subdivision Ordinance page 24 and 25. (on file) Linda said she would change the setback to 25' back as recommended by Joe. Joe suggested, because 6th south is not paved and is mostly developed, that possibly this group .might want to recommend that an L.I.D. be put on that street for paving, curb, gutter and sidewalk. Joe explained the plan. It would have a hammer head on the end for the garbage and fire truck turn around, with a 26' curb to curb width so it is a narrow street with room for two way traffic, with no on street parking. There is a garage for each unit. Ths garages join in the center so the garages join one another. It would be a private street. Jim questioned Item #4 Storage Areas and parking of R.V.'s. (discussion on storage as addressed in #4 in the subdivision ordinance) It would be addressed in the Restrictive Covenants on parking of R.V.'s. The parking in the driveway would take care of the parking requirements. (Discussion on finishing the street.) Joe stated that it would be a few years before the city would have money to put in a bridge, but it could be designed so it fits in t}~e f,~tiw rc,Jphn Millar CuggP~tP!~ YlP~ajl ~t"P t}'iPYP 1_R ."d- q~ f(~Qt . right-a-way you could do a temporary gravel turn-a-round. Joe stated there is also storm drainage to consider. The property is relatively flat and they would need a french drain in the street. John Millar suggested that it drain on the green area and the road could be elevated where you could get the drainage to go back on the lots. He said E.P.A. is pushing that type of drainage. (discussion) John Millar told her if these units are individually owned, she would have to do a subdivision plat. There are some items required by our ordinance that are missing. A motion was made by Mary Ann Mounts that we accept this preliminary site plan with the 120 feet for the Hammer Head for the turn-a-round for the garbage and fire. That we recommend in the final plan all the items required in our ordinance be addressed. Seconded by Mike Thueson. All Aye RE: L.I.D. TO FINISH 6TH S.,5TH W.,4TH W. TOPIC: (500,42,,,CURB & GUTTER,6TH S.,5TH W.,4TH W.,L.I.D.,SIDEWALK) A motion was made by Roger Muir that we recommend to the City Council that 6th South between 4th West and 5th West be put on an L.I.D. to finish the street, put in curb, gutter and sidewalk. Seconded by Jim Long. All Aye • . i .! ;- RE: TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER REQUESTING C.U.P. APPROVAL TOPIC: (500,43,,,C.U.P.,TELECOMMUNICATIONS,WATER TOWER) Public Hearing starting at 7:45 P. M. A Public Hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Rexburg, Idaho, regarding proposed issuance of a conditional use permit to provide as follows: That a telecommunications tower be erected adjacent to the (elevated) Rexburg Water Tower, and that the existing telecommunications tower's equipment building be enlarged. The zone within which this request is being made if currently LDR. The property is commonly known as the Rexburg Water Tower, Rexburg, in Madison County, Idaho. Pamela Nobel of Nextel Communications was at the meeting to discuss the proposed telecommunications tower. The height of the tower would be 150 feet which is not any higher than the existing towers. The building will be 10' x 20'. There was no public comment at the meeting. John Millar read into the minutes a letter from Teton Communications objecting to the proposed tower. (letter attached and copy on file) Pamela Nobel stated they had talked to Teton Communications about their Concerns earlier iii th^c We@}~ ...nd ::ellj' M HO.`:ol of NeXt,Pl_ p~ranager of Network Development had addressed their concerns in a letter. (letter . attached and copy on file) There was a telephone call from the manager of Nextel to Mr Hafla of Teton Communications. It was her understanding that after the conversation that Mr Hafla did feel that there would be not an interference. He also asked Mr Howel if he had already signed the deal with Clark Radio because he had a lot of land up there as well. Nextel is a well established communication system in the United States as well as over seas it is very important to them not to cause interference and they don't want any law suits. Hopefully this letter addresses Nextel's commitment to not interfere with any communication. As far as healthy competition, you can't keep people from competing as long as they are doing everything they can to keep from hurting other businesses as far as keeping them from providing their service. Nextel is providing their assurance. John Watson stated that all interference issues are regulated by F.C.C. John Millar stated that the interference if not regulated by this board. John Watson stated the only issue he could see was a competition issue. John Millar said all we can look at is does it meet our criteria? Pamela said they have a lot 100' x 100'. Joe said he had no recommendations. That is what that type of use is and the land is set aside for: A motion was made by Jim Long to recommend to the City Council that the Conditional Use Permit be granted because it is compatible, it does meet our requirements and the land has been set aside for public like facilities. Seconded by Roger Muir. All Aye There will be a Public Hearing before the City Council. ~= RE: 18TH/MILLHOLLOW WARD ADDITION SITE PLAN TOPIC: (500,44,,,SITE PLAN,LANDSCAPING} 18th/Millhollow Ward Addition Site Plan.
