S. 20, bordered on the north by the Widdison Addition and on the south by the storage units owned by Dean Peterson. T-here is approximately 11-1/4 acres-and it would be annexed as residential; possibly LDR 1 with some LDR2, which would be determined through the public hearing process. Scott distributed maps and reviewed his plans for the property which would include a combination of nice homes on a portion of the property, a medium density for the portion closer to the storage units. John stated they would be able to access city water and sewer facilities, it will require a pump station, it is yet to be determined if there will be one for this division or do one that will handle a larger area. There was discussian regarding the zoning, the contiguous nature of the property, the comprehensive plan, and the streets being adequate for additional traffic. Raymond made a motion to approve this request for annexation to go to public hearing. Motion was seconded by Bobbette, all voted aye, none opposed. There were a number of neighbors in attendance which were invited to speak. Larry Saunders - 1559 W. 190 South Larry lives in the Widdison Addition and is concerned about having city on two sides of his property and the possibility of being forced into annexation. He was assured that at this point the City is not anticipating any forced annexations in that area. Lori Warnick - 231 S. 1500 West Lori Warnick is concerned about annexation and the 1520 West road and the plowing of snow. It was explained that 1520. West is already a city road and that the city and county have a mutual agreement on the exchange of services with regard to plowing roads and this particular road is usually taken care of by the county but is a city road. The concern was that they do not want to lose the county road services. Stephen discussed that there is no guarantee that sometime this subdivision will not be annexed. if the septic systems were to go bad, annexation would be necessary, but this annexation will have no impact on that decision. There was also discussion on the ditch going through this property. 2 ~~7 John Lewis - 1576 W. 190 South. • His concern is with the amount of traffic that will be added to the i 520 West road and what the future plans are for more roads or stop lights. There was discussion as to other access and future bossible access roads. Nyle Fullmer, City Council Member, assured the residents that annexation in their area will not be-driven by the City but by the septic system situation in the future. Ted also reiterated the position that this developer would be willing to put in the lift station which services a huge need in developing that area and because of that cost it has not been developed earlier. RE: STEVE HART. REQUEST FOR PARKII~IG TOPIC: (500,287;;,PARKING;PARKING SPACES, HART*STEVE,lST WEST; PARKING ORDINANCE) Steve Hart explained the location of his building on 1St West and the problem with customer parking. With the 54 unit apartment complex going in across the street and the possible zone change on two lots just a house down from him he is concerned that he will loyse all street parking. He distib sited plc cures of Siis io".'utiol'i and sever ai other busn'iesseS tiuougii~'iiZt Rexburg. Sohn gave an explanation of some of the pictures of parking. There were a couple of parking situations the City would; if they could; do away with. The current ordinance precludes being able to back into traffic because of the unsafe situation. There was some discussion of using diagonal parking on 1St West, of Steve purchasing a strip of land from Mrs. Rish; the homeowner next to him, of reserving a parking space on the street which is not a possibility. It was suggested that Steve meet with John and review any parking options that might be available in that location. RE: DELL RAY BARNEY REQUEST FOR ZONE CHANGE TOPIC: (500,287;,,BARNEY*D.J., l ST NORTH,ZONE CHANGES,COVINGTON*JACK, GRANDFATHER CLAUSE,GRANDFATHERED) Dell Ray and D. J. Barney explained the additional property he has purchased in the area of lst North which is adjacent to property he already owned and the process of cleaning up the lots, He would like to develop this property by building self storage units to utilize the back half of +~,o l^+~ I.lll+ V I.J. Siephen explained Thai Deii Ray was here to gel a feel. from the Baard. in order io do what he wants he would need to request a zone change. The maximum commercial structure he would get would be 1100 square feet from the Jack Covington property plus whatever was torn down 3 • 03~~ on the Kington property plus 15%, which would be approximately 2500 to 3000 square feet of ~• cornmerciaLbuilding. Their present plans are far a 7500 square foot storage facility in the first phase. They have the ability to use a large portion of this property now as a truck manufacturing facility because of the grandfather situation on Jack's property and whatever use was on the Kington property. There was lengthy discussion on the feeling. of the Board and it was felt there would be a huge opposition for this use in that area; especially from surrounding landowners and other businesses. Stephen explained that it was a bigger problem than originally thought because the Comprehensive Plan will not allow this zone change. The plan would have to be amended which would be a big problem which Stephen explained to the Barnet's. The Jack Covington property is a non-comforming use for this area. Other uses for this property were discussed. The right to go to public hearing was discussed as well as the possibility of spending the time and money and being turned down on the request. Stephen reminded him that with the current use the property could be used for commercial or industrial, he could build 1100 square feet of storage plus a little more because of the Kington buildings, he can use that much for that purpose, he can put in a truck terminal or some of the other things that had been talked about. The only benefit to the zone change would not be to change its use because it is already grand- fathered as industrial and commercial. What would be gained with the zone change is the ability to use the entire parcel and not be limited by the square footage grandfathered at this time. • If they cannot build several buildings they are not interested in building only one storage building. The Barneys will check with neighbors and discuss other options to comply with the present zoning. Ted Whyte asked the Board for a feel of the possibility of a zone change on property on the Salem Highway near Ultimate Direction from Ag to Highway Business District. The rnap was reviewed, the roads were discussed, the Board felt there should be no large problem because at some point this maybe HBD down the entire Salem Highway. The meeting was adjourned. r~ ~ 4
