Council Minutes 06/08/1977 I o 00 ~ a:J tJ:.:J ~ I I ~7S- June 8, 1977 CITY OF AMMON June 8,1977 Minutes of a Special Meeting of the Mayor and City Council: The meeting was called to order at 8:05 P.M. by Mayor George Wehmann, with the following City Officials present: Mayor George Wehmann Clerk Deon Hemingway Councilman Francis Lee Attorney W. Joe Anderson Councilwoman Carol A. Dille Engineer David E. Benton Councilman Marvin J. Anderson Councilman Russell N. Swensen Others present during the meeting were Deveaoper Joseph Groberg, and interested residents Reynold Chambers, 2863 E. 17th St., and Charles Carr, 2880 E. 17th St. Mayor Wehmann explained that the purpose of the meeting was to hold a Public Hearing, as advertised and notified by mail, on the annex- ation and initial zoning of 18.528 acres and a request for zone changes on 28 acres, with the combined property being presented as a platted subdivision with the name of Ammon 17th Street North Addition and being located north of 17th Street across from Avocet Drive. Engineer Benton, representing the developer, pointed out the differe'nt areas on a copy of the preliminary plat, and listed the requested zon- ing as R3A to Lori Street, R2A on the north side and abutting Lori St., and, ~2 and R1 north of that. The zoning recommendation of the Plan~ ning and Zoning Commission was reported to be R1 on the north lots, R2A on both sides of Lori Street, and R3A from there south to 17th St. Comments by the residents in attendance indicated that there was no objection to annexing the described property as requested. Council- woman Dille moved that the City annex that portion of Ammon 17th St. North Addition not presently in the City, subject to final approval by the Council of an annexation agreement for that property. The motion was seconded by Councilman Swensen; voting,was all in favor; motion carried. ReE~rdin9 the ~ting and zoning of Division No.1 of the proposed su iV1s10n, tne-public hearing discussion brought out expressions of concern about the large full-block lots in the area bordering 17th street because of objections to the possibility of motels or mor~ turaries being built there, which would be allowed if zoned R3A. Suggestions to have the developer do additional platting or sign a special agreement on this subject were felt to not be satisfactory, but it was determined that approval to the zoning could be given with a provision that sub-h~adings No.4 and No.6 of Sections 11-16-2 of the zoning ordinance be omitted in this instance. An inquiry made by Mr. Chambers about whether or not his property, which is adjacent to the Ammon 17th Street North Addition, would be approved for R3A zoning also if requested met with mixed reaGtion on the part of the Council members. In response to a comment about the size of apart- ment buildings that would be allowed and the resulting density of population, Mayor Wehmann pointed out that square-footage and off-straa parking space requirments will restrict the number of apartment units. It was noted that there were no comments made at the Planning and Zonmg Commission hearing about leaving the area along 17th Street zoned R1 as it is, but rather it was recommended that the zoning be consistent with that in the nearby l\lonty Howell Addition. Councilman Lee moved that the City accept the zoning for Division No.1 of the Ammon 17th Street North Addition as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Com- mi~~~~~J~bth the exception that the provisions of Section 11-16-2(4) and~be oM~tted from the R3A Zone just north of 17th Street, and with R2A---ZOne-'ju~ t north of 17th Street, and with R2A Zoning on both sides of Lori Street and R1 on the remainder of the lots to the north. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Dille; voting by roll call was Lee, yes; Dille, yes; Swensen, yes; Anderson, yes; motion carried unanimously. Attorney Anderson requested that Engineer Benton furnish a revised legal description since the initial zoning and zone _ _--------l ~76 June 8, 1977 changes that were approved are different from what was advertised. In connection with approving the plat, there was some discussion about wheth- er or not the motion should mention the required improvements since this is to be covered in the annexation agreement and the review of the plans by the City of Idaho Falls. Mr. Benton stated that the developer has al- ready agreed to put in water and sewer lines, curb and gutter, and storm sewer, and it is presumed that sidewalks will be required. Councilwoman Dille moved to approve the platting as presented in Division No.1 with curb and gutter and sidewalks. The motion died for lack of a second. Councilman Lee moved to approve the plattinSJ of Division No. 1 of the Amron 17th Street North Addition as presented, including streets, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and storm sewer. The motion was seconded by Councilman Swensen; voting was all in favor; motion carried unanimously. ~~ consider] Mayor closed the public (,; ;' / .

Glen Southwick of 2650 Ammon Road presented a complaint about d09s in his neighborhood, stating that he had signed a non-commercial kennel license application at 3440 Rawson St. for Brent Dees for three dogs, but now he has more than that number of dogs. Also he said that the people at 3490 Rawson St. have three dogs without a non-commercial ken- nel license, and that he had called the animal control officer about the barking of the dogs at that address, but was not given any satisfaction that something could be done. Mayor Wehmann agreed to check these matters and get back with Mr. Southwick. The Mayor and Council reviewed an application for a variance which was filed by Jack R. Peterson of 3665 Brookfield Lane requesting permission to build a 2-car garage within 10 feet of property line in an R-P Zone (which requires 20 feet of sideyard for all buildings). It was pointed out that the neighbor, Mardee Burtenshaw, had already signed a note in- dicating no objections to this proposal. Councilman Lee moved to approve the application for a variance for Jack R. Peterson as presented. The motion was seconded by Councilman Swensen; voting was Lee, yes; Swensen, yes; Anderson, yes; Dille, yes; motion carried.
