RE: ZOCO PROPERTIES PLAT IN CONCEPT

Z.O.C.O. Properties Plat in concept. Stephen represented Z.O.C.O. Plat.
This plat ties into the Starlite Addition with a stubbed in street. The
formal preliminary plat review will be on the agenda at the next

lots will vary from 12,000 to 14,000 square feet down to 9000 and 8000
square feet. There is 79 lots drawn at present. John told him one thing
that needed to be addresses if realignment of 1420 West. Stephen asked
if the board felt that 1420 West needs to be streamlined to faster

RE: REZONING PUBLIC HEARING EAST 1ST NORTH APPROVED
TOPIC: (500,171,,,COVINGTON,PUBLIC HEARING,ZONING)
7:15 P. M. Public Hearing regarding Proposed Rezoning from L.D.R.1 to
H.B.D. for the property located at 125 East 1st North and extending to
the North.
John Millar reviewed the proposal. This piece of property is located on
East 1st North. The way it is presented does not provide an isolated
zone it is contiguous on the east side of the property. It does leave
one lot between what is now Auto Parts and that lot would remain
residential.
Joyce Covington, part owner of the property, was at the meeting to
comment. She stated that Mr Butikofer is interested in buying the
property for an office and it will be necessary to rezone the property
for him to build an office.
," ~,
• There were no comments from the audience.
There was one written comment from Rick Robins located at 138 East lst
North. (copy on file)
Close the hearing.
John Watson- He stated that Mr Robins concerns of stop signs and speed
limit need to be addressed by the council. John stated the speed limit
on 2nd East is controlled by the state. It is a State Highway. The
issue of backing out on the street is addressed in our zoning ordinance
which would not allow them to back out on the street.
John Millar stated as an engineering department they didn't see a
problem for a zone change and it is contiguous.
A motion was made by Doug Smith to recommend the property for a zone
change. Seconded by Davawn Beattie. Roger Muir abstained from voting
because of his late arrival to the meeting. All others voting aye.
RE: ZOCO PROPERTIES PLAT IN CONCEPT CONTINUED
TOPIC: (500,172,,,ZOCO,PLAN REVIEW,PLOT PLAN)
Discussion on Z.O.C.O. Subdivision in concept. There will be no access
onto 1420 West other than the road that enters on the south. The iot
sizes and the road width is in compliance with the subdivision
-ordinance. He would be back with a preliminary plat in two weeks..
RE: BEEHIVE HOMES SITE PLAN REVIEW
TOPIC: (500,172,,,SITE PLAN,ASSISTED LIVING CENTER,W. MAIN)
Beehive Homes Site Plan - John Millar gave his presentation of the
review of the plans. The plans have been reviewed by all departments
with minor changes noted on the drawing. The only thing that needs to
be worked out, which isn't a site plan problem, is the grade of the
sidewalk. The sidewalk and the curb have approximately two to three
feet differential and we are asking. that the roadway be built up and
the sidewalk be also raised. They have provided a profile for the
roadway and they are raising that up. The only question we had is how
they will transition back down to the existing sidewalk. A condition
was to leave adequate access on the canal for their maintenance and.
there is more than sufficient room even without removing a couple of
trees. They have done a property survey and the property is staked.
There is two irrigation ditches. On one of the reviews the fire
department have requested that a fire hydrant be installed and they are
connecting to existing 6" water line to the east across the canal and
there will be a fire hydrant adjacent to the building. The fire
department have reviewed this and saw no problem. The recommendation
from the departments would be that it be approved.
Graydon Burton- 416 West Main- They are the only people that own water
__ rights on the canal with a ditch in the center. John told them they are
putting a culvert across their property that would provide for Burton's
irrigation ditch. The ditch to the north of their property is off their
property and won't be affected. Graydon stated even now the slope from •
the canal bridge creates a flood hazard to his property when the snow
melts. All the water from the street runs right into their driveway. If
they raise the land to the east of them he wondered how they would
handle that extra water that would run into his yard? John told him
they have provided some low areas where they will provide for their
drainage on site. He told h.im the drainage that is coming around to his
property now is a city issue.
A motion was made by Davawn Beattie that we accept this plan with the
stipulations that was made for the approval of the Conditional Use
Permit. (discussion on sidewalk on private property) Stephen told them
we can't impair sidewalk on private property. Brad mentioned that one
of the requirements of the Conditional Use Permit was a screening
requirement as addressed in our ordinance. Beehive Properties need to
get with the Burtons and decide on the screening. The Owner of Beehive
Properties said they have no problem with the screening she has just "
been waiting for the engineers. Motion seconded by Roger Muir. All Aye
to the Motion.
RE: BUSINESS PARK REAL ESTATE OFFICE
TOPIC: (500,173,,,BUSINESS PARK,LERWELL*JEFF,LANDSCAPING,PARKING,
FIRE DEPT.)
Business Park Real Estate Office- John Millar presented the plans for
the Real Estate Office. This will be built South of the Farm Bureau
Office. All the departments have reviewed this plan. Joe has several
items that need to be addressed. There are two sets of requirements
than needs to be met. One is the City Planning & Zoning requirement
which they found no deviation from our requirements. Second is the
existing restrictive covenants which they had deviated from in some
areas which is not an issue to be decided by this group. They will have
to get approval from the governing group for the business park and they
will have to get approval for any deviations. It is serviced by
existing sewer and water that has been stubbed out onto the lot. It is
serviced by a road to north and there is an existing fire hydrant at
the corner of the property. The fire department has reviewed it and
find no exceptions tc it. The only problem we found city wise is the
location of the dumpster.
Jeff Lerwell is building this building and it will be divided into five
offices. Initially one office will be a real estate office. Bart Ward
was at the meeting to represent the development and stated it will be
built out of block. John stated there are some architectural
requirement in the protective covenants. Discussion on the sidewalk
requirement. They will have enough landscaping. A motion was made by
John Watson to approve the plan as long as it meets the requirement of
our ordinance. The storm drainage is provided in the Subdivision and
that there is adequate parking. Seconded by Davawn Beattie. All Aye

RE: REVISING OF THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE
TOPIC: (500,174,,,ORDINANCE,SUBDIVISIONS,STREETS,SUBDIVISION ORD.)
John Millar handed out a copy of the draft of the new subdivision
ordinance. He has taken the existing ordinance and updated it, added
areas on streets, utilities, and a P.U.D. He asked the board to read
it, compare it with the old ordinance and see if there are anymore
recommendations. He had worded all resolutions regarding the
subdivisions in the ordinance. He asked that the board be prepared to
discuss it at the first meeting in May.
Discussion on the days meetings are held.
