~• The minutes were discussed, one change was noted and there should be clarification in the
minutes between John Millar and John Watson. Roger made a motion to approve the minutes
with the noted changes, Ted seconded motion. All voted aye, none opposed.
Daniel Clark's request for zone change from Industrial to Highway Business District
John Millar reviewed the request and location of the property. There was discussion concerning
this request in relation to the Comprehensive Plan and the conditional uses in Highway Business
District.
Daniel Clark - 111 N. Zna West
Daniel has an auto body repair shop and would like to have a used car lot at that location. For
the used car lot they need an office, a sign and space, all of which they have now. In order to
have a dealership they are required to have parking for a minimum of 7 vehicles. His lot is
134x160 and his shop is 40x60. If he opens the car dealership his plan is to probably cut down
on repairs.
More discussion on modifying the zoning ordinance to make a car dealership a conditional use
in the Industrial zone, which would give some control. Ted feels this would be a better way to
go so it didn't turn into a 50 car junk yard. The alternatives of changing the Comprehensive
Plan, the zoning, modifying the zoning ordinance or denying the request were discussed.

Plan, the zoning, modifying the zoning ordinance or denying the request were discussed. •
Midway on page 27 of the Zoning Ordinance, it was suggested that retail motor vehicles which
are permitted in CBD and HBD also be added as conditional in Industrial
Mike made a motion to table the Daniel Clark request until such time that the Zoning Ordinance
can go through the process of modification to make retail auto sales a conditional use in the
.............Industrial. zone. Bobbette seconded the motion, all voted aye, none opposed.
Public Hearing Eaglewood Enterprises request for zone change from MDR to HDR
John Millar detailed the area this zone request would cover at the intersection of 2nd East and 7t''
South.
Keith Romney described the property located south of Aspen Village. This complex will be
built over a period of time subject to the needs of Ricks College. The planned project has 1S
apartments to a unit. Single students will be housed in the first phase, the other phases will be
built to accommodate the demand.
Public Hearing was open
Scott Johnson - 5~5 So. 2nd East, Asper Y'illage
Scott questioned when this unit would be open and was told the plan is to have the first phase
open for the fall. •
Van E1g -Rexburg Housing Office
Van gave his view of the apartment situation and the Ricks College specula±ion. He is a little
concerned that the market is over saturated now and feels there will be a higher demand for
family housing rather than single student housing.
Public hearing was closed.
Discussion by the board. Roger made a motion to recommend this go to public hearing before
the City Council. Motion was seconded by Bobbette, all voted aye, none opposed.
SBA Towers' request for Conditional Use Permit
John Millar explained the location of the land involved in the Conditional Use Permit which is
due east of the water tower approximately 1/4 mile. The proposal is to build a 195' tower at that
sight_ Discussion concerning the height of this tower in relation to the water tower. The Airport
Board has made a strong stand that nothing be taller than the water tower, which is
approximately 120' high Anything built there will need to have FAA approval.

Jessie Lassley - 4424 So. 700 East, Salt Lake City, Utah
~ Jessie represents SBA Towers and was aware they would need FAA Approval and the tower
would need lights. This company is a tower building company, not a carrier. They build towers
to host 6-7 carriers, they must have at least 3 carriers to begin the tower.
.Doug made a motion to send this to public hearing, seconded by Raymond. All voted aye, none
opposed.
Review of referral from City Council concerning requested modification to Comprehensive
Plan.
Ted Whyte declared a conflict of interest.
Stephen reiterated that this was a review of the referral from City Council concerning the
Comprehensive Plan modification. The actual request could be discussed but could not have a
decision for at least six months. The City Council held their public hearing, at that time a
request for a change to the underlying Comprehensive Plan was submitted. The technical
problem of not being able to revisit the Comprehensive Plan only every six months was
discussed and we are now part way through the process which would prohibit going back and
modifying the plan at this time.
At the public hearing for City Council, Councilman Pugmire made a motion to table the request.
,~ He was concerned that the Board may be unaware of the concerns of the neighbors relative to
~ the Comprehensive Plan designating them as commercial. He wanted it to be tabled until such
time the P&Z Board could look at the underlying Comprehensive Plan to be certain that the
Comprehensive Plan was not inconsistent with what the wishes of the neighborhood were.
There was extensive discussion by the Board and was unanimous that the Board as a whole knew
the concerns of the neighbors, knew what the Comprehensive Plan stated and they felt it should
remain as it stands at this time and needs no further review.
Doug made a motion to send this referral back to City Council as it now is. Motion was
seconded by Roger, all voted aye, none opposed. Ted Whyte abstained.
