Swensen Councilwoman Carol A. Dille Councilman Francis Lee Councilman David R. Rowberry \IE hmann wi th Clerk Deon Hemingway Asst. Attorney Douglas Nelson Engineer David E. Benton I Mayor Wehmann announced that the purpose of the meeting was to continue from February 1, 1978, the public hearing on the proposed annexation and initial zoning of Meadow Lark Estates Division NO.2. It was noted that one adjacent property owner had appeared at the previous meeting to question the R-3A zoning along 17th Street. Councilman Rowberry reported that his contact with Joseph Groberg, developer, indicated that priority use of this area would be for professional buildings, with the building of apartments or single family dwellings coming in that order for intended use of the land. The possibility of establishing a new zone for pro- fessional buildings only, as'is being considered in the City of Idaho Falls, was discussed, and it was determined that such action would require some length of time to go through public hearings and adopting of an amendment to the zoning ordinance, so it was felt to be impractical to delay action on the' subdivision under consideration in order to put this more restrict~ ive zoning into effect. There being no interested parties present to make further comment, Councilman Rowberry moved to accept Meadow Lark Estates Division No. 2 for annexation with initial zoning of R-l and R-3A as re- quested and shown on the plat, and as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The motion was seconded by Councilman Swensen; voting was all in favor; motion carried.
