A report by Councilman Rowberry noted that the Planning and Zoning Commission is studying an amendment to the ordinance regarding "planned unit developments" which would apply to Kent Wood's plans for the R-~ area in Westwood Addition.

Swensen with the following City Officials present: Councilman Russell N. Swensen' Councilman Thayle D. Monson Councilman David Rowberry Absent: Mayor George Wehmann Councilwoman Carol A. Dille Others present during the meeting were George Foster, Jr., 551 Sykes Dr, Idaho Falls; Blair E. Doane, 3776"uMarlene st.; Paul Miskimin, 3765 E. 17th st.; Melvin and Dixie Richardson, 3725 Brookfield Lane; Connie Davidson, 3740 Brookfield Lane; Dewain and Zola Silvester, 3570 Brookfield Lane; Jack and Stella Peterson, 3665 Brookfield Lane. The purpose of the meeting was a public hearing regarding an application for a Special Use Permit filed by George Foster Jr. to have a "Christian School" in the home at 3765 Brookfield Lane (in RP Zone) "durip;g the hours of 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. Monday through Friday for small number--not to exceed 40--of students, for period not to exceed 60 days; grades included in school kindergarten through 9th, inclusive". Answers to questions brought out the information that the school began on Sept. 2, with the application being filed on Sept. 4 and permission being given by the City Council to hold the school on a tentative basis until action could be taken. Also, the use of the home was arranged by the appli- I cant without knowledge of city regulations and was felt by him to be helpful to both the home owner and the school since it is near the future permanent location (on the property to the northeast of the 17th Street-Ammon Road intersection which is already approved by the County for this purpose) and since the people who were living in the residence had to move and needed income from the home until it could be sold. It was pointed out that facilities for the school at the permanent location will be ready by the time the lease on the house expires on Nov. 1. Connie Davidson mentioned that there is a safety problem with children arriving at the Christian School at the same time that the public school bus is picking up students in the area, but this would not be serious for such a short time. Mr. Foster was informed that there are safety and health standards which must be met while the residence is occupied as a school. Further comments indicated that there were no reaa" objections to the operation of the schoml until Nov. 1. Councilman Swensen noted that a decision would be made on the permit at the Oct. 2 meeting and that no perma- nent zone change would be involved. The meeting was closed at 7:25 P~M.
