He discussed the original plans which did not work out, the granary has been sold to Milling Equipment leaving him with the balance of land to develop. The property is located in the impact zone and zoned HBD. John Watson declared a conflict, then reviewed the lay of the ground and buildings as they are presently situated in that area and future plans as they have been discussed. Discussion consisted of the size of proposed lots, requirements of the City in terms of roads, water, sewer, and/or annexation, new access roads, railroad crossings, Wilcox property and the Siddoway property. Ted suggested that it would be good for Mitch to take the project to District 7 Health and see what their requirements are for obtaining permits for wells and septic tanks. Even though Mitch will not know what businesses will locate in this area he will be aware of the requirements from District 7 Health as to water and sewer. The Commission felt they were open to anything that Mitch could develop on the property as long as it complied with the requirements of the impact zone and with the approval of District 7 Health. RE: AIRPORT CLEAR ZONE TOPIC: (500,236,,,AIRPORT,AIRPORT BOARD,ZONING ORDINANCE,FAA,MADISON COUNTY ) Bart Webster from the Rexburg Madison County Airport Board was present. Stephen Zollinger declared a conflict. This subject had been tabled from the last meeting, John reviewed what the three primary issues were that need a decision. Those issues were: air face imaginary surface; does the City adhere more closely with Part 77; and do we want to make recommendation to the Council concerning some type of aviation acknowledgment or easement. All three issues were discussed at length along with the possibility of doing nothing on any of them. Consensus concerning the easements or acknowledgments was that it would not be necessary for these forms to be completed. The proposed airport zoning ordinance was discussed, it was felt that it was sufficient and we should not need anything more restrictive than ~i ~/ FAA already has. The zoning ordinance basically brings FAA Part 77 in to augment the City's zoning ordinance giving the P&Z Commission some ~~ authority to mandate .performance regulations. Stephen commented as a developer that it would be inappropriate not to make a recommendation. He feels the building department needs to have some direction, even something as simple as having the City Council. adopt a policy that the Form 7460 be reviewed in conjunction with every building permit and then leave it to John's department to determine whether the form needs to be filed. There needs to be some commitment on the part of this body to comply with the promises that the City of Rexburg has made with the Airport Board for support relative to monitoring these types of things. John Watson made a motion. that the Commission recommend to the City Council that Form 7460 be an attachment to the building permit process asking for review by the Building Department. Motion was seconded by Mike Thueson. Voting aye: John Watson Mike Thueson LaDawn Bratsman Bobbette Carlson Raymond Hill Roger Muir Vote nay: None The need for the airport zoning ordinance was discussed. It was determined that John would make some minor changes in the verbiage with the Council then present back to Planning & Zoning for review. Meeting adjourned.
