The City will work with the church volunteers to coordinate arrangements. David E. and Marcy Caruthers, 2600 Ross Avenue, requested a non-commercial kennel license. The Caruthers work with obedience training dogs and German Shepherds. They plan to have more than two adult dogs at a time, but never a large number. The dogs are contained in a privacy fenced backyard, and they have been bred for temperament. Seventy-five percent of neighbors within 150 feet gave their written consent. The Council advised the Caruthers to be considerate of their neighbors. Councilman Maeser moved to approve the non-commercial kennel license for David E. and Marcy Caruthers, 2600 Ross Avenue. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hall. Roll call vote: Maeser - Yes; Hall - Yes; Anderson - Yes; Crandall - Yes. The motion carried unanimously Max V. Walker, 1820 Falcon Drive, requested a home occupation permit to repair small engines, lawnmowers, and bicycles in his garage. The only advertising that is being considered is a small sign and some fliers. There will be no employees, except a son may assist occasionally. Mr. Walker is unemployed at present. The Council advised the applicant to observe the home occupation requirements, C.C.11- 5-27H, and especially to control any noise involved. Councilman Crandall moved to approve a home occupation permit for Max V. Walker, 1820 Falcon Drive, conditioned upon obedience to the laws and ordinances of the City of Ammon. The motion was seconded by Councilman Maeser. Roll call vote: Crandall - Yes; Maeser - Yes; Hall - Yes; Anderson - Yes. The motion carried unanimously. The Council discussed the minutes of City Council Meeting held April 1, 1993. Councilman Maeser asked for a careful review to make sure everyone agreed with the recorded decision regarding the Ammon Road access for the Ammon LDS Stake. Following discussion, Councilman Maeser moved to approve the minutes of City Council Meeting held April 1, 1993, as written. Councilman Anderson seconded the motion. Roll call vote: Maeser - Yes; Anderson - Yes; Hall - Yes; Crandall - Yes. The motion carried unanimously. Council Crandall requested and the Council concurred that a copy of the City Council minutes for April 1, 1993, be sent to President Reed Moss of Ammon LDS Stake for review and approval. Engineer Benton advised that Fred Karford is making plans to connect his undeveloped property to 30 April 15, 1993 the sewer from East 17th Street, and he has authorized tapping an 8" waterline in from Ammon Road side. Mayor Ard reported on the Ammon Road project. A check for $20,000 has been sent to the Idaho Transportation Department accompanied by a letter to explain this is the balance of Ammon's 5% participation according to our computations. No reply has been received. Some of the waste site problems have been resolved and H-K is using Bird's property. A change order has been issued to change the street approach by Horace Smith's property to a driveway approach because the way Annnon Meadows is being developed eliminates the need for a street approach. Engineer Benton explained about how the drainage for Annnon Meadows ties into Annnon Road. Work is progressing. The water lines which have been paid for have been installed. Work is beginning to install the sewer lines and the storm drain system. The Department of Environmental Quality report on the review of Ammon's drinking water system was discussed. I The Parks and Recreation program was discussed. Councilman Anderson and Councilman Crandall are working on swimming pool operation details. Vandalism to the park shelters has left them undesirable for family use. Brian Taylor reported on the activities of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Dick Skidmore and others promoted a discussion on affordable housing and encouraged the City of Ammon to change their ordinances to allow manufactured houses which meet the H.U.D. code in the R-l zone. The Commission advised that Annnon has established a Manufactured Residence (MR) zone, but no property in Annnon is presently zoned with that designation. Skidmore was encouraged to consider requesting a rezone of his property south of Speedi Mart if he is interested in manufactured housing. Planning and Zoning Representative Taylor cautioned the City Council to be very careful in action concerning affordable housing and especially in removing the present restrictions so manufactured homes can be sprinkled throughout the City. The sign ordinance was discussed, but Idaho Falls has not approved their sign ordinance. The Planning and Zoning Commission determined thatAnnnon should delay action so Idaho Falls and Ammon can have a similar sign ordinance. A public hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission to consider the home occupation permit ordinance was scheduled for May 4, 1993. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended to the City Council approval of the preliminary plat for Tie Breaker I Village/Trailwood Village and the final plat of Trailwood Village Division No.1. Mayor Ard asked about LaRall Kent's additional development plans for his property on the corner of Sabin Drive and East 17th Street. A permit has been issued to Kent to construct a building with a main floor of 2556 square feet for Eastgate Drug. The Council questioned whether or not his plans provided adequate parking. The plans on file in the City Office were carefully reviewed, and the zoning ordinances were studied. It was determined the planned parking meets the zoning requirements. City of Ammon Spring Cleanup was scheduled for May 8 through May 15 with Saturday, May 8, designated for the Public Works crew to provide extra garbage service. Councilman Maeser agreed to draft a spring newsletter. Engineer Benton declared conflict of interest and stated he was representing the developers of Trailwood Village subdivision. He presented the preliminary plat for Tie Breaker Village/Trailwood Village and the final plat for Trailwood Village Division No.1. The Council was oriented to the plats. Various location points were identified and ownership was discussed. Grobergs have requested a change of name from Kamekae Road to Trailwood Drive. The name change should be authorized by the City and perhaps permission obtained from Jay Herring who originally named the street after a relative. Most of the Tie Breaker Village portion has been approved previously so the main concern is approval of the Trailwood Village portion. At the present there are no development plans. Property owners did not want to mix zoning with platting, so they have proposed platting as presented to determine the I boundaries. Attorney Anderson recommended a development agreement. It was discussed how the subdivision would be served by water and sewer. Water and sewer would be connected from East 17th Street along Kamekae Road, and the details are to be worked out in the development agreement. The cuI de sacs are long but they have been designed at the same width as the streets. Councilman Hall moved to approve the preliminary plat for Tie Breaker Village/Trailwood Village from John Adams south and the final plat of Trailwood Village Division No. 1 Blocks 1, 2, 3, and 4 subject to an agreed upon development agreement, the owners obtaining permission to change the street name from Kamekae Road to Trailwood Drive, clarification of the sewer responsibility, and reserving the right to consider whether or not to allow Tie Breaker Drive to be changed to Sagewood Drive after it crosses John Adams Parkway. The motion was seconded by Councilman Crandall. Roll call vote: Hall- Yes; Crandall - Yes; Anderson - Yes; Maeser - Yes. The motion carried unanimously. I I I April 15, 1993 31 May 06, 1993 Reports: David Wadsworth reported for Public Works. Well No. 7 repairs have been completed. The pump at Well No.5 has been pulled for repairs. The lawnmowers are being repaired. Kathy Dansie will work with David Wadsworth to get the Tie Breaker park plans in motion. It has been decided where to put the merry-go-round in Falcon Park. Water pressure was discussed. A plaque is needed for the park shelter donated by the McCowin family. Engineer Benton reported that Albertsens is moving ahead with their plans for development of the Deseret Mutual Eastgate property. Sometime in the future they will be bringing plans to the City of Ammon, and they will approach the City of Idaho Falls for how to construct the approaches within the City of Idaho Falls right-of-way. Mayor Ard has again received a complaint about the noise created by the refrigeration truck parked at the Blaine Davis residence on Avocet Drive. The Council discussed what to do about the problem before the weather gets any warmer. It was determined the neighbors should not have to put up with that noise in a residential area. Attorney Anderson agreed to write a letter to Blaine Davis. Mayor Ard expressed concern about how to get reimbursement to help with costs to install the water and sewer south of Sunnyside Road. Councilman Crandall moved to allow no one to hook on to the water or sewer south of Sunnyside Road on Ammon road without first paying their prorated share of the City cost of installing the water and sewer lines through the existing Ammon Road construction. The motion was seconded by Councilman Maeser. Roll call vote: Crandall - Yes; Maeser - Yes; Hall - Yes; Anderson - Yes. The motion carried unanimously. Claims were approved. Councilman Maeser moved to adj ourn the meeting, and the motion was seconded by Councilman Crandall. The meeting was adjourned at 9:55 P.M.
