He also asked about getting speed bumps in on that road that we had talked about in a previous council meeting. The Mayor suggested that we put in rumble strips instead, the council agreed. RE: PLANNING AND ZONING WANT ZONING MAP UPDATED The Mayor told the council that the Planning and Zoning want to get the Zoning Map updated, and we are in the process of getting all the information to Forsgren Perkins to do that. Glen Pond said that the reason they need that is to help them when people come in about zoning questions and also to help them while they are up- dating the zoning ordinance. The County Assessor has found some spots in the city that we thought was in the city that are not, they were left out. There is a spot in back of Tri County Equipment that was left out of the Annexation Ordinance. It makes it difficult for the County Assessor to assess property taxes. There is also a area across from Ruth and Lyle Smith's that needs to be annexed. The assessor wants the trailor court out by American Potato to be annexed but they don't want to be in the city limits at present there is no need. RE: SCOUT SERVICE PROJECTS DISCUSSED The Scouts asked the Mayor what service projects they could do. We told them to contact the Public Works Director this spring and he would find some things for them to do in the parks.

All Aye. 'vM(. RE: TRAILER BOARD REPORT A report from the Trailer Board was given by Morgan Garner and Rose Bagley, City Clerk. The Trailer Board recommendation was that they be asked to move the trailer in accordance with the zoning .ordinance. That they be given until June 1st if they need that much time to make arrangements to move it off the lot, unless they can show there are no spaces available to move the trailer, then a temporary thing could be worked out. Morgan Garner told the council that they came to the Trailer Board Meeting to tell us that Horace Perry was in need of the money that he recieved from the rent of the trailer for his living expense, however in talking to them we found out that he has a house with two apartments in it that he can rent out, so the board felt that the trailer could be moved into a trailer court and he could still get the rent from it. We have also had letters from neighbors complaining about the trailer and in checking it does detract from the neighborhood, so the board felt it should be moved. A motion was made by Morgan Garner and seconded by Darlene Blackburn to approve the recommendation by the trailer board and that they be required to move the trailer. All Aye. RE: PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING REPORT Glen Pond and Rose Bagley reported on the Planning and Zoning Meeting. Jim and Verna Taylor had made a request to put in a trailer court at the West End of Park Street. The recommendation that the Planning and Zoning made was that since the comprehensive plan shows it to be R1 and it is now zoned R2, and the fact that they have a chance to put the Trailer Court in north of town that they deny their request to put the Trailer Court on that property West of Park Street. Glen Pond made a motion to accept the recommendation to deny the Trailer Court at the West End of Park Street seconded by Morgan Garner. All Aye. RE: R1 ZONING A Petition was given to the City Council from the residents of the area between Second South and Third South and Second East and Third East and along Harvard Avenue. This area is zoned R1 which does not allow student housing. They requested that the City Council take immediate action. iVile Boyle said that we will enforce the Ordinance because no student housing is allowed in R1 Zone. He asked the City Clerk to have Nile Brown check the whole area and see if there is any violations and make sure there is no student housing in this area. (copy attached) RE: COMPACTER PURCHASE DISCUSSED Niie Boyle told the Council that Farrell Davidson called and talked to him about getting a compacter that they need for street repairs. Mary Smith said if the cost is under $10,000 we would not. have to advertise for bids. It is in the budget. He asked Morgan Garner to get with Farrell and make a decision on it, after checking the bids. RE: SEWER HOOKUPS FOR ARCTIC CIRCLE AND AMERICAN SPORTS Nile Boyle said he had talked to De Lynn Edstrom about sewer hookup for Arctic Circle and American Sports. De Lynn had called the Mayor at St. George and discussed it with him. They can't hook onto 2nd North because it isn't deep enough. If they hook onto 2nd East it would require 400 feet of sewer. De Lynn thought we need to lay the sewer line because possibly the property behind might be developed, and this would require a larger line. De Lynn suggested hat if we put this line in that the city pay part and the property owners pay part, after he talked to the Mayor they decided $1000.00 would be a good amount. Jim Morris suggested that the Water and Sewer Committee look at it in the morning and decide. Jim Morris, Nile Boyle, and Morgan Garner would meet with De Lynn at the sight at 8:00 A.M. A motion was made by Morgan Garner and seconded by Glen Pond to let the Committee set the hook up fee after they review it and come up with a fair cost. All Aye. RE: COMPLAINT ABOUT DEBRIS BEHIND COLLEGE SQUARE Darlene Blackburn said she had a complaint from Var Manwaring about the garbage and debris behind the College Square. There is also cars blocking the alley all the time. They have not cleaned up the mess from when they did the construction on the building, there are bags of raw garbage scattered all over. ~~ Some of this mess is close to Mr. Manwaring's door into Mom's Kandy Kitchen. Darlene said she checked it out and it is a mess. Gordon Nelson from the Sanitation Department talked to them about it and they cleaned the garbage up a little, but it is still a mess. The Council asked Mary Smith to write a letter to Wayne Holladay, manager, to tell him it had to be cleaned up. RE: REPLACEMENTS ON GOLF BOARD Jim Morris told the Council that the Golf Board would like to submit two names to replace Keith Larson and Jim Dettloff on the Golf Board. The two would be Frank Thompson and Neal Clements, to be appointed fora three year term. A motion was made by Jim Morris and seconded by Glen Pond to approve these two appointments to the Golf Board. All Aye. RE: AND EAST PROJECT The City Council discussed the 2nd East Project. There has been a number of petitions going around objecting to this project, some people have signed the petitions and didn't mean to. It will be an emotional issue. Until the people see the plans and see what is going on, they can't really make a fair decision. Some people have stated that they want a one way street. Glen Pond said the Comprehensive Plan shows it to be a Main Arterial and that was decided several years ago. Nile Boyle said the only thing we can do is go into that hearing with an open mind. The Council said they didn't blame them for being concerned. One main concern is the moving of the trees. RE: APPROVAL OF BILLS AND ADJOURNMENT A motion was made by Jim Morris and Seconded by Glen Pond to pay the bills. All Aye. A motion was made by Morgan Garner and seconded by Darlene Blackburn to adjourn. All Aye. RE: SEWER HOOKUPS 8:00 A.M. - April 4, 1985 City Councilmen Nile Boyle, Morgan Garner, and Jim Morris met with De Lynn Edstrom at the sight of Arctic Circle and American Sports to discuss the sewer hookup. They decided to bring the sewer line off of the manhole at 2nd East and go over in a North East direction and put in a manhole on the corner and go to the corner of American Sports Building and put another manhole in, unless Merlin Muir, who owns the property behind American Sports wants to pay for the rest of the line in case he wants to later develop it. If he does participate we will put in a manhole at the end of the line where it will turn and go back to his property. American Sports and Arctic Circle will have to pay $1000.00 hookup and any other property owners will pay that except Mr. Muir and he will have to put in his own line unless he pays his share now. Mayor Porter will talk to him when he gets back. ~ - Q~~~ May ohn C.
