Motion was seconded by Ladawn, all voted aye, none opposed • Public Bearing for Gary Lovell Zone Change to LDR with Professional Overlay John Millar read the notice of public hearing then gave an explanation of the request and what it means. If this property is changed to maintain a professional overlay it maintains the existing zone but allows for either the transition of an existing building to a limited professional use or the replacement of a building to perform `Ghat same purpose. Discussion of what is allowed in professional overlay. Public hearing was opened. i• Myrl Willmore - 1340 E. Saxony Circle, Salt Lake City, IJT Myrl questioned if the residents would be notified again for a hearing if this property were turned into a parking lot and was informed they would be. For the record she stated that Dr. Lovell does not own her mother's home on 2"d East nor is he considering buying it. Terrell Arnold - 206 E. Main Because he lives in the area of the proposed zone change he has an interest in the outcome. There have been rumors of people selling their homes, he is neither here to approve or disapprove but to hear testimony for the proposal. He recommends tabling this proposal for two weeks which will give the most concerned residents time to discuss and make decisions on this zoning change. 1 Ruth Martin - 232 E. Main Ruth is representing her parents who live at 232 E. Main. If this professional overlay is approved and if Main Street is actually a street going to the hospital can something be done about the kids racing up and down that road because it is suppose to be a quiet zone. Discussion concerning traffic pattern. Ruth is not opposed to the professional overlay but with a professional overlay can the City take into consideration that the people who still live there are under a residential- zoning and can we monitor what happens in their neighborhood. Another concern is parking, if this. is changed to a professional overlay and those places. go professional some of the property is going to have to go for parking. Neighbors are concerned about the lot next door to their yard becoming a parking lot and what that does for noise and other things that go along with this. She is not apposed as long as other problems can be fixed, this should be maintained as a residential area as Long as there are residents still there. Discussion. Gary Lovell - 36 Professional Plaza Dr. Lovell originally requested the rezoning of three homes he had an interest in. The sale of the Willmore home was contingent upon another party which sale fell through and the home is no longer an issue. There is still an issue of the two homes which he has purchased for. possibly expanding the parking lot into those back areas. In order to do that does he have to have another hearing and was informed that a parking lot would be a conditional use. He stated he has no immediate plans to do that. - Carol Hokanson -Freedom, Wyoming Carol was representing her mother, Hazel Willmore. Dr. Lovell specifically told them that if he purchased her mother's house he would tear down the shed and the back would be used for a parking Iot not snow removal or other things, a road would be made through to have access to that parking lot. Discussion with Dr. Lovell concerning sale and moving houses for parking lots and the impact on the neighbors. Tom Silvester e 24 So. 2nd East Tom reiterates the things that have been said. There are a lot of rumors and no one is really sure what exactly the plan is and that is a lot of the concern as adjacent property owners. It is the not understanding and the devaluation of their property if the next property would become a parking lot. It is hard to agree with a plan when you don't know what the plan is, how can a decision be made until someone sees the whole plan. Parking lots are not run on an 8 hour shift, they are a 24 hour use when kids are driving around. Dee Holly -Star Valley, Idaho Dee is representing her mother, Ethel Topham who resides at 25 So. 2nd East. She questioned how many doctors are involved, how much property do they want, and won't parking lots devalue property of those around them. Before anyone can agree on what is to be done some type of plan needs to be presented. Everyone needs to know exactly what Dr. Lovell is talking • 2 about, how many lots, how much parking. Mrs. Topham has lived in her home over 40 years and a change at this point in time would be very difficult on her and she would not want a parking lot next door. Dr. Lovell needs to put together a complete plan. Gary Lovell explained that he with two other doctors purchased the Porter home and their parking lot already is zoned LDRl. Discussion concerning a parking Iot at that location. Other than moving a shed on this property there is no plan for expansion. The intention for the- Brown home is to rent indefinitely, it was never the intention to move that house. Myrl Willmore - She questioned if this request could be amended to just include the Porter property until there are more immediate plans. Doug Smith - Doug owns part of the professional property as well as a home in this area, he is neighbors with the Willmore property. His concern and plan is that he needs additional parking, he has a vacant lot adjacent to his office to the south and would someday like to build an office on that lot but parking restraints make it impossible to put in another building without additional parking. He would like this overlay there also so he could expand the parking Iot into the backyard of the little white house or remove the house for parking. • Doug declared a conflict of interest. Discussion that Dr. Lovell had originally requested just the three homes be included in this request and at the Last hearing Planning 8~ Zoning included additional property just- for simplification. The public hearing was closed. John Millar reviewed .and explained the Comprehensive Plan. At some point in the future the Comprehensive Plan sees this location as commercial use. as the area transitions, it may be 5 years or 25 years. Discussion on the development of the corridor from the Courthouse to the hospital, the hospital has a master plan to build in response to the growth to the community, more medical professionals coming in, changes at the college, the circumstances of this request, professional overlay protecting the area from commercial. John made a motion to table the zone change request from Dr. Lovell. Motion was seconded by Ted. All voted aye, none opposed, Doug abstained. John Watson made a motion that the Planning & Zoning Commission develop an area that is felt will naturally grow into professional overlay. Motion was seconded by Bobbette, all voted aye, none opposed.- Proposed expansion of Health & Welfare building • 3 John Watson and Glenn Walker declared a conflict of interest. This item was for informational purposes only. John Millar explained the first drawing of the existing layout of the Health and Welfare building, there is a road on both the north and -south side of the property, the south side being Walker Drive and the north side being East 4th North. The next drawing shows an outline of a proposed expansion of the building to be made by John Watson. There is an existing dedicated right-of way on the north side of both the Photo Lab and the_Health & Welfare building, if anything differently is done it will require the abandonment of that street. Long term the City sees this as a realignment of Barney Dairy Road, across the canal and to come onto North 2°d East between CAL Stores and Forsgren & Associates, eliminating the stop condition that currently exists. For long term City planning there would be an objection to this change. John Watson explained his position on this expansion. He distributed a letter from past Mayor Nile Boyle addressing this situation dated September, 1998 addressed to the Walker family. Discussion. Glenn Pinder Preliminary Site Plan John Millar explained the location of the property north of Arctic Circle on North 2°d East and reviewed the diagram presented. Discussion about obtaining a Joint Use Agreement with Arctic Circle. John Watson discussed that Glenn Pinder wants to add to his existing building and possibly . something in the rear of the property. He is proposing the addition will be built to the side and keep the parking in the rear, he has discussed the need for a sidewalk across the front and a landscaping strip, parking in the front is for compacts, the City has reviewed and approved. Discussion concerning speed limit on 2°d East. The Deseret Industries plat is completely signed off and recorded and for informational purposes a couple of the lots have already been sold. The possibility of an expansion of the bowling alley, discussion of the professional overlay, and the consideration for a Zions Bank to be located across the street from City Hall on property owned by the Carlsons. ~ - - ~
