Ted made a motion to approve the minutes of September 12, 2001. Motion was seconded by ~,_ ~ Ladawn, all voted aye, none opposed. Upper Valley Resources -Site Plan Review John-Millar reviewed the issue brought up at the last meeting concerning the Site Plan Review which was held up due to the parking issue, which in essence violated the current ordinance. John has .met with John Hyenas, they came to an agreement whereby the present curb and gutter will be removed and replaced with new curb and gutter, he will replace his sidewalk with landscaping across the front, put in grass, trees and alI of the diagonal parking that is now currently being utilized will be abandoned. This agreement is exactly what Planning 8~ Zoning was looking for at the last meeting. _ Glen made a motion to approve this site plan request. Motion was seconded by Winston, all voted aye, none opposed. Ttest Conditional Use Permit John. Millar explained the proposal which is to convert the existing vacant Rite-Aid building into a temporary manufacturing facility for Tteat. The area is zoned Highway Business District (HBD}, this. type of business is not addressed specifically in the ordinance so it was elected to look at this under the "other" category. This category will require a Conditional Use Permit. Several things that need to be looked at are joint use of parking, scheduling the interaction of the existing businesses with the new business and how they will overlap. _• 1 Johnny Watson, representing JRW Associates, presented a site plan of the total property where Rite-Aid is located. If the entire site is looked at as a small shopping mall center the requirement is 4 spaces per 1;000 square feet of business space. Under that criteria is listed what each of the businesses require: Kmart is 352, Ttest with a proposed addition is 136; Radio Shack is 10, Maurices is 20, Deseret Industries is 67, McDonald's roughly 25, for a total of 610. There are now approximately 620 spaces. Ttest is looking to use this facility as a temporary manufacturing facility on a possible two year lease. The type of manufacturing is to begin with their small alcohol strip, this will have non- combustible materials. The majority is packaging and labeling with personnel using air packaging machines for the strips to go into foil packages then label appropriately. The back area would be the bulk manufacturing where the product is actually manufactured. It will be similar to K Mart with regards to shipping and trucks, receiving bulk products and shipping out their final product. The hope is to have 200-300 employees, they will be basically an 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. operation, same fulltime employees but would try to utilize the student population and create 4 hour shifts for a morning shift and an afternoon shift. . He reviewed the suggested floor plans. Ttest does not have enough room to store bulk material coming in or for their finished product so they are proposing a 5,000 square foot warehousing space on the west side of the existing Rite-Aid building. It is understood these plans will need to be reviewed by other City departments. Discussion concerning encouraging employees to use parking west of Rite Aid and north of K Mart and other employee entrances and a review in two . years to see how the business is working in that location, Ted made a, motion to approve the Conditional Use Permit to go to public hearing conditioned that all safety services review the plans; that employees park on the west side of the Rite Aid building and the North side of the K Mart building, that Ttest return in two years for a review of the business compatibility in the location and the parking situation. Winston made a second to the motion, all voted aye, none opposed. John Watson declared a conflict of interest and abstained from voting: Final Plat Review for Hidden Valley Subdivision Phase 4 John Millar reviewed the plat for Phase 4 which consists of four lots located on the south end of Hidden Valley Road. The preliminary plat has been approved, this is the fmal plat which has been reviewed and approved by all departments. Glenn made a motion to approve the final plat for Hidden Valley Subdivision Phase 4. Mike seconded the motion, alI voted aye, none opposed. Winston declared a conflict of interest and abstained from voting. Ideal Auto Sales John Millar reviewed the limited site plan for Ideal Auto -Sales which is north of town located near the Moody Road. They are requesting to build a 40x60 foot shop building. They have been 2 • • working on this far nearly a year, they have been before City Council, there is not enough ground to put in a septic tank drain field system, they would like to hook onto the City sewer, they are . not contiguous to the City so cannot be annexed, therefore the building will have no water in it, it is just a shop building. The site plan has been reviewed by the Building Department, it meets the criteria for Highway Business District, if approved, the building permit will be issued and administered by Madison County because it is located in the impact zone. Discussion - concerning the possibility of getting these properties- annexed to the City. Winston moved to approve the site plan far Ideal Auto Sales, seconded by Ted. All voted aye, none opposed. Nelda Jeppesen Request for Annexation and Zone Change Davawn explained that John Watson's firm had been hired to draw up a conceptual plan for this property. John Watson declared a conflict of interest. John Watson distributed a site plan and explained the project on 7tb South and Stli West, which location is very familiar to everyone. John was aware the neighborhood was unhappy about the first plan, they do not want all multi-family dwellings. John is requesting HDR2 but because of the parking requirements they are unable to utilize as many units as the zoning allows. The plan has a common park, has a lot of greenery giving a lot of buffering from 7`t` South and 5~' West with the bulk of the units being further in from the street. There would be about a 25' landscape strip around the project. There will be a circuitous route so there will not be a traffic problem. • They have been able to achieve a density of 24 units per acre. Stephen explained the request is for annexation and HDR2 and the drawing should not be considered at this time, it is more a site plan than a zoning request. He cautioned the Board to remember theix decision tonight should be made for annexation and zoning only. Discussion concerning neighborhood meetings. Doug made a motion to send this request for annexation and zone change to public hearing. Motion was seconded by Winston. Voting as follows: Ted Aye Winston Aye - Doug Aye Ladawn Aye Davawn Aye Mike Nay Glenn Nay John Watson abstained Henderson Subdivision for Preliminary Plat John Millar explained the preliminary plat for a parcel of property located off 1500 West with Park Street on the north. Discussion of the streets in the area, sewer and water lines, other utilities; annexation of more ground. • Kurt Roland from Forsgren & Associates discussed Phase 1 of the project, the plat shows the • entire master plan. There is already a Sunrise Subdivision and Sunnyside Street so the name of the subdivision and the streets will need to be changed on final platting. John Watson made a motion to approve the preliminary plat subject to Fire Department and City approval. Doug seconded the motion, ail voted aye, none opposed. Discussioh of work meeting Davawn would Like to schedule a work meeting with the Mayor and City Council representative, which schedules,. have not been able to coincide. John Watson went over the work meeting agenda, Marilyn was assigned the task of coordinating a date far the meeting. Stephen discussed that because of the nature of the discussions tonight, he reiterated to the Board the rules under which the Board is governed. Once an item goes to public hearing, the Board is considered a quasi judicial branch, which means they are not to be engaged in individualized meetings ~~ith either side of a matter that has been set for hearing. It is inappropriate for the Board to meet with either proponent or opponent individually. If any individual. involved in a public hearing were to approach the Board it is appropriate to say that you need to have the information presented to you at the public hearing much the same as a judge. The caution is that if you allow yourself so strongly with one side and you do so outside of the Funning c~ Zoning meetings, you will be prohibited from participating in the vote. I'-1 U n LJ 4
