Councilman Browning moved to approve the minutes of City Council Meetings held

by Councilman Maeser. Roll call vote: Browning - Yes; Maeser - Yes; Crandall -
Yes. The motion carried unanimously.
Unfinished Business: The Council discussed the procedures to follow on the
request of Kay and MarJean Reiman, 3155 Rawson Street, for a Special Use Permit
to make improvements to a non-conforming residential use by replacing an existing
mobile home with a larger one. The request has been pending before the City
Council acting as the Board of Adjustments since the Public Hearing was opened
on December 7, 1989. On January 4, 1990, the request was tabled to allow time
for an inspection of the proposed addition to see if it could conform to the
building code requirements of the R-1 zone. The building inspector from
Bonneville County was reluctant to make such an inspection, and he recommended
that Reimans obtain building specifications from the manufacturer. It was
determined that a Special Use Permit is probably the proper form of request; the
Council could grant a Special Use Permit if the applicants would accept the
limitations; denying the request would necessitate the Reimans starting over; and
the Public Hearing had not been officially closed. To date, the testimony
received from interest parties has favored granting the request. The Mayor asked
if anyone desired to add their testimony. Hazen T. Olsen, Gui1a Olsen, and
Russell N. Swensen spoke in opposition to the request. They did not oppose
upgrading or improving the property, but they believed any improvements should
conform with the established laws and regulations. Councilman Browning stated
he had received three phone calls to encourage the Council to deny the request.
Mayor Ard declared the Public Hearing on the Reiman request closed. Councilman
Browning moved to table the action on the request for a Special Use Permit until
Council Meeting on February 1, 1990, and to notify the Reimans that Council action
would be taken at that time. The motion was seconded by Councilman Maeser. Roll
call vote: Browning - Yes; Maeser - Yes; Crandall - Yes. The motion carried
unanimously.
Utah Power and Light Company is in the process of revlslng their street light
purchase program. The new program will be ready for consideration in the summer.
Bonneville County reviewed the Joint Powers Agreement for Building Inspections,
and they recommended a few wording changes. With the changes the agreement is
ready for acceptance. The County will issue the Certificate of Occupancy upon
completion of the construction. Councilman Maeser moved to authorize the Mayor
to sign the Joint Powers Agreement establishing the building inspection program
by Bonneville County. The motion was seconded by Councilman Browning. Roll call
vote: Maeser Yes; Browning Yes; Crandall Yes. The motion carried
unanimously.
Kitty Dooley, Certified Public Accountant with Young, Bell, and Webb, reviewed
the annual audit of the financial statements of the City of Ammon for the fiscal
year 1989 (October 1, 1988, through September 30, 1989). Councilman Crandall
moved to accept the audit as presented. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Browning. Roll call vote: Crandall - Yes; Browning - Yes; Maeser - Yes. The
motion carried unanimously.
