RE: STUDENTS PARKING ON LAWNS AND SIDEWALKS IN THE R1 ZONE Nile Boyle gave copies of a page out of the Planning and Zoning Ordinance which gave the requirements for parking in R1 Zone. The city has been getting a lot of complaints about students parking on lawns and sidewalks in the R1 Zone, where students are living in the homes. It has become a real problem. Nile Boyle said that we should enforce the ordinance. He suggested that if we are going to enforce the ordinance we need to notify the college so they can help us enforce it. Jim Morris said that the police have issued citations for parking on lawns and sidewalks in the past, but he would talk to them and have them crack down on enforcing it. RE: DISCUSSION OF THE 9th SOUTH ALTERNATIVE The council discussed the 9th South Alternative. Most of the council had driven to the area= where the alternatives would go, so they could make a decision. Earl Kemp told the council that the only disadvantage of the 9th South Alternative would be the displacement of one home. The engineers could see no problem in moving the power poles to build the road. The Ninth South Alternative would be cheaper than the Eleventh South Alterna- tive. The people living in the area and the students would use the road the most. The road would provide access from east to west for the south end of the city. A motion was made by Morgan Garner and seconded by Jim Morris to except the Ninth South Street Alternative as the corridor for an arterial joining the east and west sides of the city on the South. All Aye. RE: EARL KEMP REPORTED THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR EPA ON STEP III FOR THE SUGAR REXBURG SEWER SYSTEM Earl Kemp told the council that they were still waiting for EPA to except the bids for Step III for the Sugar Rexburg Sewer System.

(2) Whittaker Construction are willing to change the discharge point on the canal.

Present were the following: Mayor: Councilman: Councilwoman Also Present: RE: BOY SCOUTS ATTENDED MEETING John C. Porter Jim Morris Nile Boyle Norris Reese Sander Larson Morgan Garner Darlene Blackburn Mary Smith; City Attorney Rose Bagley, City Clerk A group of Boy Scouts and their leader, Bill Christensen, were at the meeting. Mr. Christensen told the council that the scouts all over the nation were reporting to City Council meetings and that this group of scouts would like to report to the Rexburg City Council. Cory Foster representing the Cub Scouts gave his report on the things they had done during the year and presented the Mayor with a Scout Coin. Jeff Whatcott representing the Scouts gave a report and presented the Mayor with a tie tack. Val Ricks representing the Varsity Scouts gave his report to the Council. Brian Stanton representing the Explorer Scouts told of their projects during the year. Mayor Porter thanked the scouts and told them that the City appreciated the projects that the scouts had done for the city. In the past the scouts had done projects in the City Parks, erected signs at the Smith Park, built dugouts that were destroyed in the flood, planted flowers in the flower beds along main street, painted the Steam Engine and many other things. RE: TRAILER PARKING IN THE CITY Mayor Porter discussed the trailer parking in the city. The City has a Trailer Ordinance which requires no trailers to be parked except in trailer parks. Two years ago Arlo Nelson did a study of Rexburg, his study showed that there are some areas in Rexburg where lots could have trailer houses on them. This would be called an over -lay zone. In some areas there are trailers because after the flood and since then permission has been given to put a trailer on a lot for one year, and we have not followed up to make sure they were moved at the end of the year. There are areas in R2 and R3 that trailers could be put if the person owns the lot. Nile Boyle suggested that this be turned over to the Planning and Zoning Committee for further study.
