Motion was seconded by John Watson. Jay Jenks Request for Conditional Use Permit for Apartments • John Millar read the Notice of Public Hearing John Millar then reviewed the location of the properly at 3`d North and 3`d East, zoned Medium Density Residential, which property was recently purchased for apartments. In an MDR zone they are allowed by right to have up to a 4-plex and a Conditional Use up to a 6-plex. They are petitioning for a Conditional Use Permit to put 1 4-plex and 6-6-plexes on that site. Jay Jenks - 284 N. 575 East, Hyde Park, UT The reason for putting the 6-plexes is to allow for a little more green space opposed to 10 4- plexes, the buildings can be consolidated as well as the consolidation of the parking and less expensive to build. The public hearing was opened. Debbie Heiner - 1168 Barney Dairy Road The Heiners own the property directly across the street from the subject property. There is a trail through there and they are concerned about the extra traffic from the apartments and questioned liability, responsibility, are they required to stop the traffic and would there be any liability if they chose to fence it off. `` • 1 Stephen informed her that as long as there is no obstruction on the property they would not be • held liable for just ordinary foot traffic. The property belongs to them and they have the right to close off their property. The public hearing was closed. - -- - -.Discussion. Robert made a -motion to approve the Conditional Use Permit for 1 4-plex and 6 6- plex apartments. Bobbette seconded said motion. All voted aye, none opposed. Request for Sign Variance for Erickson Pontiac John Millar reviewed the information in the packets including the picture and description of the existing signs at their existing location. The sign has been there for 25 years, they are wanting to move that sign to the new business, the sign is 28' tall, the current ordinance only allows 24'. They are requesting a variance to the height restriction or review the possibility of grandfathering the sign. Rex Erickson suggested a change to the sign ordinance for the freeway corridor. There are signs all along the freeway which are much taller than 28', nearly all exits on the freeway up and down the line have signs much taller than the 28' foot one they have. These signs are owned by General Motors, Ericksons leases the signs and originally that sign was on a 12 year lease, once t hat lease is up there that sign'oecomes Ericksons at no charge as long as they are in business. They paid nearly $25,000 for that sign when it was put in over the first 12 years. If the variance or grandfathering is now allowed to move the sign as a 28' sign, GM does not make that • particular double pedestal sign anymore in a sign shorter than 25'. Their competitors have 4 signs that are that tall or taller and if Ericksons goes to another sign they have to go to a single pedestal and the tallest they make is 16', they will then have to enter into another 12 year lease, which will cost nearly $25,000 for the single pedestal. They are requesting it be grandfathered after having it for 25 years or have an ordinance change for a freeway corridor. Discussion. Stephen stated that grandfathering generally runs with the land or the use and it would be up to the Committee as to that decision. Discussion as to variance or grandfathering. John Watson made a motion to grandfather the GM sign. to move to their new location. Motion. was seconded by Bobbette, all voted aye, none opposed. Discussion concerning the Sign Ordinance and the possible modification thereof.

John Millar stated that the only problem building review showed was that HBD requires 90% lot coverage, for this plan there is no problem, however, if someone built on the property to the East there could be a potential problem.
