2012-003 – Rezone C-1 to HC-1 – 2525 E 17 St - Scott Gray (Soapy’s):
Ron Folsom explained the property is
located on the corner of 17th Street and 25th East. Ron said that in order for Mr. Gray to sell cars on this property they
will need a zone change and a conditional use permit.
Scott Gray 2525 E 17th Street would like to be able to sell two or three cars in the parking lot after he has them
cleaned up. Tom Hunsaker asked Scott where the cars would be parked.
Travis Seward 2525 E. 17th stated that the cars would be parked in the outside parking areas along 17th street. He
does not want to make a whole used car lot out of the parking lot. He is asking for just a few cars not more than 4 to 5 at
any one time. The hours would be the same hours that the detail center currently has which is 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. Scott Gray mentioned that because there is going to be a
change with the entrances to their parking area being moved by Idaho Falls the placement of the cars could change.
Commissioner Tom Hunsaker moved to recommend to the City Council to accept the 2012-003 - Rezone C – 1 to
HC 1 – 2525 E 17th Street, as presented. Commissioner Quinn Simmons seconded the motion. All in favor – the motion
passed.
