A11 Aye RE: REVISED SITE PLAN FOR SHELBORN APARTMENTS TOPIC: (500,168,,,SHELBOURNE APARTMENTS,SITE PLAN,LANDSCAPING) John Millar reviewed with the board a revised site plan for the Shelborn Apartments. We approved a site plan with 3 stories but because of the costs of blocks they are going to eliminate the third story and add another building. Because they are decreasing the number of apartments by two they will have adequate parking. They will still meet the landscaping requirement. John explained the plan. A motion was made by Davawn Beattie and seconded by Ted Whyte to approve the revised site plan for Shelborn Apartments. A11 Aye RE: PUBLIC HEARING FOR BEEHIVE HOMES ASSISANT LIVING CENTER TOPIC: (500,168,,,C.U.P.,PUBLIC HEARING,ASSISTED LIVING CENTER) 7:25 P.M. Public Hearing regarding the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to allow for an Assistant Living Center to be built. The property is currently zoned M.D.R. with a Professional Office Overlay. The property is located on West Main directly West of the Canal and running North from Main Street. John Millar reviewed the Conditional Use Permit and gave comments. He showed a revised site plan. They have decreased to one garage and will retain the same amount of parking spaces. The project is allowed in the zone but it will require a Conditional Use Permit. The building department wanted to address two things. (1) The project was designed for "Group R, Division 4 Occupancies" which is out of the 1994 Building Code which is a newer version than we are offering. We would have to ask as one of the Conditions that we include the requirements of this part of the code which they would have to design the facility to. (2) Where the driveway comes onto Main Street the canal is quite high there and the driveway will have to come out high enough on the road that the visibility is maintained for safety. We will need to get a more detail profile of how that will be constructed. We are still needing some additional information on the site plan so all of the departments have not approved the site plan. Vance Fager, President of Beehive Homes, was at the meeting to discuss the project. They are an Assistant Living Franchise Company based out of Boise. They have about 90 of these homes in about l0 different states- It is a well received and tested improvement Assistant Living Concept. They are excited about bringing this concept to Rexburg and they have visions of adding more homes up and down the valley. They do Assistant Living on a smaller scale, ten to twelve beds depending on licensing. This is more of a family style living. In some ways they put more pressure on the residents because they put them into a more family style. There is a common living room. They feel it is more healthy for them to have that closer more intimate action. They get to know the residents more personal because the owners live there and operate it so there is more accountability from the owners. Many residents thrive with this type of living. Pat Burton- 416 West Main- She read a statement. (on file) Robert Powell- Representing the Canal Board. There concern is that a right-a-way to be maintained next to the canal. He read from the Idaho Code pertaining to canal right-a-ways. They are in favor of progress but just want to make sure there isn't a fence put up so they can't get in to maintain the canal. Larry Widdison- They own the property north-west of this .property. He is in favor of it. He had a question on the landscaping on the north and if they would need to have a fenced in area to keep the residents from wondering? Mr Fager stated that typically the residents in these homes stay in the home for the most part. They are not taking care of the type of people who have alzheimer's and who would have a problem of wandering. Once in a while they might have a problem. There are times when if they need to they will use precautions such as alarms on the doors. Right now they have no plans for a fence but that will be up to owners. Pat Burton- She asked if this is a franchise situation and if they plan on expanding? She was told they were not planning on expanding at this location. Brad Liljenquist closed the public hearing. Doug Smith- He questioned if the second building was too close to the canal. John stated that we will have to have them establish the east property line and then have to approve it. Stephen stated that irrigation is something that we need to make sure we don't approve anything that contradicts with the irrigation district's right-a-way. If they leave 25 feet that should be enough to get their equipment up and down the right-a-way. A motion was made by Davawn Beattie to .issue the Conditional Use Permit with the following conditions: (1) That they provide for the Irrigation Company's access pursuant to the Idaho Code. (2) That the project is designed for "Group R, Division 4 Occupancies" Section 333 which is out of the 1994 Uniform Building Code. (3) That the driveway is built up high enough above the canal that the visibility is maintained for traffic safety. (4) That it include screening as provided in our Zoning Ordinance Section 4.7A unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the adjacent property owners and approved by Planning & Zoning as part of the site plan review. Seconded by Ted Whyte. All Aye RE: PLAN REVIEW FOR DR. ELISON ORTHODONTIST OFFICE APPROVED TOPIC: (500,170,,,PARKING,I5T N.,ELISON*DR.,LANDSCAPING) Plan review for a dental office on East 1st North located just East of Washington Federal. John Millar presented the plan which our engineering department has reviewed. The engineers have made a few comments on the plan. The parking is more than adequate. Site drainage will be handled on site. Commercial property is on all sides of this property so it won't require screening. All of the department heads have not approved the plan. It looks like a good plan. Guy Robertson represented the property owners and had designed the plan. Dr. Joseph Elison is the dentist that will be building the office. He felt they had addressed most of the city requirements. They will have two entrances to the parking lot. They have met more than the landscaping requirements at 18%. A motion was made by Mike Thueson to approve the plan contingent upon all department heads approval. Seconded by Doug Smith.
