RE: PROPOSAL FOR A L.I.D. AT PROFESSIONAL PLAZA
TOPIC: (500,57,,,L.I.D.,PROFESSIONAL PLAZA,SIDEWALK,PARKING)
John Watson discussed with the board that there is a proposal to get an
L.I.D. on Professional Plaza for those property owners that are in
agreement to move the sidewalk, curb and gutter out farther. He showed
a proposed plan showing the proposal and parking. The expansion of Dr
Lofgren and Lovell is what is driving this proposal. Doug said it is
hard to back out when parked on the street. in the winter.. He wondered
',`~ what would happen if the road was raised up. Discussion on drainage.
John Watson asked if he needed permission for this type of proposal
from this group instead of just getting permission from Joe Laird.
~~
1..
Stephen stated that the reason it would not need permission from this
board if it does not alter or add a structure and is a redesign of a
street. It does not re-direct the street or add additional structure.
It would not require the city to give up any right-a-way unless the
setback is moved.
RE: PUBLIC HEARING FOR CHANGES TO ZONING ORDINANCE
TOPIC: (500,58,,,ZONING ORD,LANDSCAPING,SETBACK,FENCE)
7:45 P. M. Public Hearing pertaining to the proposed changes to the
Zoning Ordinance of the City of Rexburg known as Ordinance 725. The
proposed changes deal with corrections and modifications to the
ordinance as previously recommended by Planning and Zoning Commission.
The changes are:
(1) Landscaping Strips in all zones except in C.B.D. and Industrial
there must be a green strip on the right-of-way from the curb to the
sidewalk with a minimum width of 7 feet for all new construction and in
all new Subdivisions. This will need an amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance and the Standard Drawings:
(2) Changing the setback to 20' with the 5' to 7' planter strip to
offset that 5' to 7' which would not change anything but would allow
for a planter strip and allow for usable safe sidewalk that could be
maintained year around in new construction and new Subdivisions.
(3) To allow fences in excess of three feet if constructed out of rigid
matErlalS and approved by Flanixiiig ZGni1"ig with 5v% or More See
through per lineal foot and that they be between 3' and 6' high with 15
feet of the right-a-way.
No one attended the meeting to give public comment. There was no
comment from the members of the Planning Commission. The Public
Hearing was closed.
A motion was made by Jim Long and seconded by John Watson to approve
the changes listed above to be made in the Zoning Ordinance,
Subdivision Ordinance and in the Standard Drawings. All Aye
