John Millar explained there are two separate issues, the site plan approval and the preliminary plat on the property. Unless Joe starts selling property there is no reason for them to subdivide this property. Once they divide this into 3 or more separate parcels then there has to be a subdivision plat filed. As long as they are not actively marketing individual lots then the two issues can run separately. Kim Leavitt -Harper-Leavitt Engineering Kim is representing Joe Allen in this proposal. He presented the preliminary plat for review to the board and explained the location and description of the property in question. The plat, after the right-of--way, is approximately 7 acres and the proposal is to have four lots. There was discussion concerning setbacks and right of ways and departmental approval. Mike made a motion to approve the preliminary plat on condition of City Departmental approval. Motion was seconded by Doug. All voted aye, none opposed. The proposal for the preliminary site plan was discussed which involves only Lot 1. The acres on this iot have changed and are now 2.4 acres. There are two entrances onto Salem Highway, a green scape and a 4'6" strip on the south. There was discussion of protecting neighbors, discussion with neighbors that were in attendance., irrigation canal, curb and gutter. Doug made a motion to approve this site play, seconded by Bobbette. All voted aye, none opposed. . Ricks College Conditional Use Permit John explained the agreement the City has with the College that any building over 10,000 sq. ft. would go through the process of a Conditional Use Permit. The departments have reviewed the site plan and have found no major issues at this time, parking appears to be adequate for the building and the storm runoff numbers are being reviewed. Mike Thueson declared a perceived conflict of interest since he works at Ricks College. However the conflict is only perceived and will have no bearing on his being able to review and make a decision on this project. Lanny Herrin -Logan, Utah, the architect and :Dave Waldron -Ogden, Utah, the civil engineer, representing Jensen Haslam Architects. The building is a two story with partial basement of approximately 54,000 sq. ft. Dave gave an explanation concerning the project. A portion of the Ricks College campus will be used for this multi-use facility building, it will be used for Sunday worship services, a Stake Center, as well as 2 class rooms, faculty offices and some intramural activities. Expected uses will range from overflow for congregations to basketball. Looking at the facility based on it being a "worship .facility" they have determined the parking requirements to be 31.0 stalls and this plan provides 316. In addition to parking, they have tried to establish a good deal of landscaping on the site itself. As a very minimum there is 20 feet around all the developed areas that will receive landscaping in addition to several large tracts that will help to make this a good entrance feature to-the college. The calculations for storm water are based on 100 year stone water retention with a release rate of 0.19 cu. ft. per second per acre so it should have less of an impact than what is existing at this point in time. Utility wise they are working with the college to bring in additional utilities that will service this building. Discussion on the criteria used for arriving at 316 parking spaces. Dave explained they looked at the available seating in the chapel as well as the cultural hall, the City ordinance requires 1 parking stall for 4 seats. This total number was taken divided by 4, arriving at 310 stalls. There was lengthy discussion concerning the parking, use of the building, the number of stalls actually needed when the building is at full capacity, the possible use of the parking lot for the Kimball Building which has 200 stalls, the alley between the two buildings to access the other parking lot, the potential number of cars at full capacity, the problem with parking on the entire campus as well as the college housing complexes and other matters concerning the need for more parking with this facility. John Watson made a motion to go to public hearing on the condition the plans come back with a solution for mare parking meeting a larger capacity use of the building. Motion was seconded by Bobbette. All voted aye, none opposed. Because of the time line of publication, meeting schedule and to facilitate the timing of this project it was determined a special meeting would be held for the public hearing which would be scheduled for Tuesday, March 6, 2001, at 7:00 p.m. This project could then appear before City Council for approval at their regularly scheduled meeting on Wednesday, March 7. Steve Oakey Site Plan Approval John Watson declared a conflict of interest and stepped away from the Board. Mike ThueSon was excused for other commitments. Johnnie Watson, representing JRW & Associates presented the site plan for the Steve Oakey car wash at 50-60 So. lst West. When this property was purchased there was an agreement with Cottonwood Apartments that the back section of the lot would be used for their additional parking. Between this project and the property owned by Vera Rish there is a 4' landscape space and a 5' high vinyl fence to create a buffer zone, on the west side there is a fence adjacent to the parking lot and on the north side between the existing parking lot there is a landscape area to meet the 10% required landscape, The sanitary sewer from both properties will be used and the existing water services since So. 15` West has recently been rebuilt and they were instructed not to tear up this street. Storm drainage only exists at each corner of the street. So that they do not tear into the street they are proposing the four french drains to keep ail storm drainage within the site. The City shows 3/4" service at each of the two properties and combining them would give plenty of water capacity to service the car wash. Based on the zoning requirements they meet or exceed every requirement. All electrical wires will be underground. The issue of lighting was discussed, the lighting will be directed down in order to protect the neighborhood. The present plans are fora 3 bay car wash with the 4~' bay contingent on the purchase of the Vera Kish home in the future. Ted requested that since this is a small building they check the sign requirements before a sign is purchased. The name of the car wash will be Gracie's Car Wash. Doug made a motion to approve this site plan as drawn and approved by the City. Raymond seconded said motion, all voted aye, none opposed. 4
