CITY OF AMMON June 4, 1975 Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mayor and City Council: The meeting was called to order at 7:30 p. m. by Mayor Keith C. Turnbow wi.th the following City Officials present: Mayor Keith C. Turnbow Councilman Russell N. Swensen Councilman Gerald B. Cheney Councilman Brent Hirschi Others present during the meeting were Robert Kehrer, Paul Curtis, and Deputy Ciro Rustici, and Dick Berger. Clerk Deon Hemingway Attorney W. Joe Anderson Asst. Engineer Robert Butler Prayer was offered by Councilman Swensen. Minutes of the meeting of M-ay 21, 1975, were approved as typed. Robert Kehrer and Paul Curtis presented informa~ion concerning the keeping of livestock ani~als (a sow and eight piglets) by one of their neighbor'S, Jay Reynolds, on his lot at 3175 Rawson St., stating that this situation is objectionable because of the odor problem and the fact that the pigs sometimes get into other yards due to the inadequate fencing. It was determined that, even though this area is in the animal overlay zone, the total space of 11, 200 sq. ft. (80x140) does not meet the qualifying requirements; also the remaining space left after allowing for the required 25-foot backyard would be 3600 sq. ft. (45x80) which is somewhat short of the 5000 sq. ft. which the ordinance specifies must be available for each animal. Attorney Anderson was asked to write to Mr. Reynolds advising him that he is in violation of the City Ordinance and must remove the pigs in.a reasonable time. Deputy Rustici assisted in this matter of business by supplying a degal description of the property involved and explaining action taken when Mr. Kehrer registered a complaint on the situation several months ago. Tentative plans for a town-house style group housiI1~ project were displayed by Dick Berger as the proposed developer of a portion of a large lot in the Maiben Jones Addition. The Council indicated approval of the plans as presented. Since a zoning change is required before this project can be allowed and the Planning and Zoning Commission has already recommended that such a zone change be made, Councilman Cheney moved that the City Attorney be authorized to contact the Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission to set a time to advertise for a public hearing for a zone change from GC-l to R-3 on the west 240 feet of Lot 6 Block 2 Maiben Jones Addition. The motion was seconded by Councilman Swensen; voting was all in favor; motion carried. After the Council considered Mr. Berger's explanation that a zoning of R-3A would be more suitable for purpose of the proposal, Councilman Swensen moved that the motion made by Councilman Cheney be re.scinded and be stricken from the record. The motion was seconded by Councilman Cheney; voti.ng was .all in favor; motion carried. Councilman Cheney moved that the City Attorney be authorized to contact the Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission to set a time to advertise for a public hearing for a zone change from GC-l to R-3A on the west 240 feet of Lot 6 Block 2 Maiben Jones Addition. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hirschi; voting was all in favor; motion carriec;l. Attorney Anderson reported that Annexation Ordinances and Agreements have been prepared for both Olsen Park Addition Division No. 2 and the Barbara Jean Estates, and that a public hearing is needed on the zoning for these additions. It was felt that this could be done at the same time as the hearing on the zone change mentioned above. The Annexation Agreements for these two propos~d additions were reviewed.
