PUBLIC HEARINGS: Tom Hunsaker explained the procedures for the public hearing process and when the hearings would go before City Council. Planning and Zoning 4-2-2008 Page 1 A. 2008-009 Conditional Use Permit – New Beginnings – 2085 Avocet: Planning Director Ron Folsom explained where the property is located. New Beginnings operates group homes. They would like to go from 8 residents to 9 residents which require a Conditional Use Permit. Their property north of this did the same two years ago and was approved with the condition that it drop back to eight when they loose a resident. Brett Waters, New Beginnings Office Manager, stated the P&Z Board two years ago approved the increase of beds from 8 to 9 in both homes, but City Council only approved one facility at the time. He explained the purpose last time was from a lady that had both parents terminally ill and they did not have enough beds at the time for her. Since that time they were able to move her in and her parents died soon after. It has been a great blessing to her. They love what they do and want to continue to provide that service to others. They have a waiting list and would like the ability to accommodate one more resident. Cindy Donovan inquired if they still have all the board approvals needed to go from the 8 to 9 residents. Brett stated they do. They had to fill out an application and application fee. It was discussed the CUP Permit that was approved two years ago had a provision that if they lady left, they would go back down to 8 residents. Quinn Simmons inquired what kind of impact the residents have on the neighborhood residents. Brett explained they have had positive feed back both of the immediate neighbors, as well as, the neighborhood itself. They blend in very well. They do not have an immediate need for a resident like they did last time, but they would like to model both homes like one another. Tom Hunsaker closed the public hearing. Scott Wessel motioned to recommend approval of the 2008-009 Conditional Use Permit for New Beginnings on 2085 Avocet with a 3 year time limit. Dave Hill seconded. All in favor, the motion passed. B. 2008-010 Conditional Use Permit – Sweetwater Lane – Church in R1-A: Planning Director Ron Folsom explained where the property is located and how the zone lays out. Patrick Riblet, 4125 Mathews Drive, stated they would like to have a church there at the Sweetwater property. It is the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnessesand is one congregation for now. He explained the times it is typically used. It is about an acre of a lot and they feel it is a great spot for a church. Tom Hunsaker inquired how it compares to the area they had before. Patrick explained it is a little smaller. Tom Hunsaker closed the public hearing. Steve Richards motioned to recommend approval the 2008-010 Conditional Use Permit for a church on Sweetwater Lane in the R1-A zone. Greg Maeser seconded. All in favor, the motion passed. C. 2008-011 Conditional Use Permit – 2686 Bungalow Dr. The Cottages – Membership Swimming Pool: Planning Director Ron Folsom explained where the property is located and how the memberships will be sold for the swimming pool access. Rick Adolpho, 2658 Stafford Drive, stated he lives right next door to the property. He explained they have been there about 2 ½ years. They talked to the gentleman that owned it and inquired about purchasing the property. They talked to neighbors about a swimming pool and it was very well accepted. They cannot guarantee that everyone will buy in, so that is why they have a limited membership and the costs involved. Tom Hunsaker talked about the zone they are in, RP-A and the ordinance conditions and requirements. Rick Adolpho stated they have received the permits they need. They already started breaking ground. He thought when he presented the plans he was done, he did not realize they needed a Conditional Use Permit. He explained they have the plans, drawings, layouts, sidewalks, etc. They do not have a landscape drawing for it yet. He talked about a fence and bushes for part of the landscaping. He talked about the parking issues and inquired if they could use the swales for parking. He explained they stopped the construction, as soon as, they realized they needed the CUP. Tom Hunsaker explained the purpose of the drainage swales. He talked about them possibly being in a variance situation with the parking issues, however, the City Council has to make the final recommendations. They do have parking for four cars. Mr. Adolpho explained the Villas expressed interest also, but due to parking issues they limited it to the Cottages only. They plan to access it 24-7. There is also a workout facility and everything is enclosed. It was discussed they will eliminate the lighting on the tennis court, so it does not interfere with anyone’s privacy. Rick stated it is a non profit organization that is incorporated with the State of Idaho. He has worked with a lawyer on it and it is only for the Cottages. Members that have bought in that want to sell have to go before the board before they do sell. They cannot sell it for more than what they bought it for because it is non profit. Rick explained it is 75 maximum memberships with an 85 person capacity. Rick explained the membership is tied to the individual’s property, which increases their property value. The titles are recorded with Bonneville County and it can be transferred to another owner in the Cottages. Quinn inquired about the parking issues. Rick explained if they have problems, the members will have to comply. Quinn inquired if it is opened to guests. Rick explained it is open to guests, but it is on a respect basis. If a problem happens all the time, then it will go before the board of directors. It will have a security system with codes to know who was in the pool area and they will have maintenance fees. They will have savings set aside, taken care of by an accounting company, and will manage that account for repairs and maintenance. Planning and Zoning 4-2-2008 Page 2 Ron Folsom explained the items needed addressed by the board of adjustments. He explained they posted the hearings as 5 minute testimonies. Quinn inquired about the CUP and what the setbacks would be. Ron stated we have not required the same parking for pools, as we do for other buildings. Tom Hunsaker opened the public hearing. Ron Zirker, 5073 Tildy, stated they are in favor of the pool. He explained his land is directly behind Rick’s. He is not concerned about noise because there are already 27 kids, at one time, playing in the yards near there. He feels it will be an increase in land value, if there were to sell their home. They feel there is a need for this in their area. Fawn Zirker, 5073 Tildy, stated she grew up in area where they had access to a swimming pool and was a great thing. She stated it will not be an eyesore - feels it will be attractive. She talked about the property values in Cottonwood Hills increasing. Kiera Adolpho, 2656 Stafford, stated she had a petition from the neighbors and a ton have signed. Ron stated you can read the title and see how many people signed. Kiera stated the title is “I am content with the clubhouse in the Cottages”. There are two pages with 45 signatures on each page. There are 138 people in the Cottages with over 100 that signed. If it was a family, they signed on the same line. Nathan Jeppsen, 2876 Hidden Hutch Drive, stated he is in support of the clubhouse. They own property in Cottonwood Estates and he benefits from the pool there. He feels it is a great addition to the community and buying into the pool ties into the home’s property. Every homeowner is part of the insurance policy that has a stipulation they have to abide by. Quinn inquired how often they would walk. Nathan replied as often as they need to. He talked about how they handle problems in Cottonwood Estates. Travis Pickett, 5341 Tildy, stated he is favor of the pool and it would be great for their family. Adam Jardin, real estate agent, 2499 Fieldstone, stated the Cottages had a rough run, but now people want to be out there. They would love to walk to it. Andrew Porter, 5097 Tildy, is on the southwest end of the clubhouse. They are excited to have this with these types of amenities. Rick is a great person and will take care of anything. He teaches martial arts out of his garage in the summer. He explained everyone will take care of it. Reed Bails, 2720 Bungalow, who is adjacent to the clubhouse, stated they are not in favor of the clubhouse. They would like it to be something for the entire community of the Cottages. He grew up in a community that had a pool and talked about the dangers of having the pool. He is concerned about the privacy, even though, there is a 6 foot vinyl fence; he is concerned kids will climb the fence. He is concerned about parking and their lot being adjacent. They are concerned about a 24 hour facility with the noise and the addition of lights. Stephanie Bails, 5097 Tildy, stated her biggest concern is the lighting. She understands it is indoors, but kids will run and scream. She is also concerned about parking and the 24 hours. Rick Adolpho stated he appreciates what the Bails have. He cannot have it be for the entire community unless they can guarantee everyone will pay to be a part of the clubhouse. He talked about the value of the properties and feel it will increase the values. Even if they are not a member, the properties will go up. He talked about the dangers of the pool and the insurance coverage’s. They do not have lifeguards on duty. You have to be a member of the clubhouse and the children must be watched by someone 18 years or older. He talked about the fence and they have a 4X4 window and that she said they were okay and now they are not. He explained they are putting bushes to reduce noise. There would be a spec house there anyway and feels this will be more privacy because there would not be a fence there otherwise. They have sold 15 memberships thus far. Rick stated the alarm will take care of the jumping the fence issues. Tom Hunsaker closed the public hearing. Tom Hunsaker inquired if the Fire Marshall has reviewed the property. Ron stated they have and the 85 occupancy limit is based on their recommendations. Cindy would like to see the membership more limited. She is concerned about the hours of operation. Greg is concerned about the buffers and property values, parking in the swales, lighting and hours of operation. Scott is concerned about the concerns of the neighbors, 24 hours and the club being private. He is concerned about the development in the beginning and why it was not planned for initially. Dave talked about the support for the clubhouse and the negative issues we should address. Quinn talked about the parking issues. The Commission talked about changing the hours for the clubhouse. It was discussed to make the opening hour at 5am and the closing hour at 11pm. Scott inquired about the setbacks. Ron explained what they could do and they would need to talk to Lance about other issues concerning engineering. The Commission talked about how to work in the noise issues. It was discussed to recommend it be reviewed in two years. Greg Maeser motioned to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit for 2686 Bungalow Drive – The Cottages for a membership pool with the following special conditions; 1) hours of operation from 5am – 11pm, 2) no lighting on the tennis courts, 3) fencing to south at least a 6ft fence, 4) landscaping, and 5) be subject to review in 2 years. Cindy Donovan seconded. Seven members for, one member against. Scott Wessel voted no due to the neighbors opposed and changing the rules in the middle of the game. th D. 2008-012 Comprehensive Map Change – North of 17, East of Ammon Road: Planning Director Ron Folsom explained where the property is located. The property owners requested the change. They are not asking for annexation or zoning. Planning and Zoning 4-2-2008 Page 3 Jerry Kershaw, 3171 E. 10000 S. Sandy, Utah, stated they are developing the property across the street and this makes sense. He talked about this being the center of town and to have a downtown with commercial area. th Kim Hall, 3585 E. 17 Street, stated he brought in the letter signed by the property owners and he is here to represent them. They are not in the City of Ammon but are in the area of the comprehensive plan. They have usually fought the changes, but realize this will be the center of Ammon. They feel commercial will be on Ammon Road, at some point. They are asking it be shown as commercial for property value. Their homes will not be sold as residences anymore. They do not know what will go there, but are hoping for office buildings. Jason Brown, 1064 S. South Jordan, stated he owns the property with Jerry Kershaw and is here in support of the change. They develop in a lot of different cities and states. It would work well with residential on one side and commercial on the other side. Duane Jones had left the meeting and did not testify. Bruce Pickett had left the meeting and did not testify. Tom Hunsaker closed the public hearing. The Commission discussed a buffer zone in-between the residences and commercial. Ron stated we do not address buffers, at this point. The best one he knows is on the backside of Taylorview Lane. The Commission talked about it being a good idea for the City of Ammon. th Scott Wessel motioned to recommend approval of the 2008-012 Comprehensive Map Change – North of 17, East of Ammon Road. Rick Butler seconded. All in favor, the motion passed. E. 2008-013 Annexation and Preliminary Plat – Quail Ridge Phase II: Planning Director Ron Folsom explained where the property is located and they will be addressing the annexation first. They cannot develop until Well #11 is up and running. Lance explained the process for getting bids to get to Well #11. They talked about the different phases and when development will start again in the Foothills. Ron stated that each development affected by the wells has special conditions in their development agreements stating that they cannot even record a plat in the area until the wells are in operation. We will not allow building or final plats until it is done. Tom Hunsaker inquired about the portion of the property east of the impact area. Ron stated it will not be a problem. They have almost finished finalizing the impact area with the County. Tom inquired if this is in the area where we have to ask Idaho Falls to be able to provide sewer service. Ron stated we have to ask them. He feels we should be fine, as far as, the sewer either way. Lance stated Idaho Falls is concerned about the amount of flow in the Sunnyside interceptor. They have talked to IBSD and may not be able to get any more development into the Sunnyside interceptor. Troy Burnett, Rocky Mountain Engineering – 1550 Midway, stated this project was presented a little over a year ago and has been scaled down a bit. There is very little change to the plat that was approved by P&Z in 2006 and they feel it is a good project. They are working on a main transition line going down Sunnyside with others and feels this project will help relieve sewer issues. He explained they will have storm water ponds. Rick inquired about a proposed pond. Troy stated it is for storm water retention. Rick talked about the snow in the hills and a problem with flooding, he hopes the capacity is sufficient. Troy stated they looked at what was reasonable, which was a 10 year event, 3 hour storm which they will work with Lance. Tom Hunsaker inquired if they have worked with Ken on the drainage areas. Troy stated they have not. He feels most of it will be subdivided. Troy stated the developer is in contact with Hawks Landing to help widen Sunnyside Road including a round-a-bout to tie Foothill Road into Sunnyside Road, which would add an additional road out of the hills. Kim Johnson, 6195 E. Sunnyside, stated he lives near this area. He is concerned about a specific road development problem. He would like to know if anything has been done in the overall comprehensive plan to require that a right-of-way be made available for the widening of roads. He feels the taxpayers have already paid for the roads and feels the developers should have to pay for the improvements. He thinks they need enough property along these roads to be widened. Lance Bates stated as development occurs we are requiring right-of-ways and they are going to require 110 feet total right-of-way on Sunnyside that will be dedicated to the City to provide that right-of-way for the future widening of Sunnyside. It has been consistent and will continue to be with the exception of York Road, which will be slightly wider. Ron stated Hawks Landing will be required to widen their portion of Sunnyside and this would require the same. Troy Burnett stated the plat shows a 50 foot right-of-way for their property. He explained they will be participating in widening Sunnyside Road. Kim Johnson inquired about the 50 feet on each side of the road. Ron stated it’s 100 feet, 50 feet on both sides which is consistent with the county. th Martha Gomez, 900 E. 17 Street, stated she would like to request a park. She talked about accidents that happen there due to drinking and driving and now people are coming there and talking about it. She has friends that have not drank since that day and thinks this would be a good reminder. Tom Hunsaker commented about a type of accident like this in another town. He inquired where it would be on the map and about the drainage ponds to see if it might be possible. Lance Bates stated that he has not seen the preliminary plat and may have some technical issues he would like to work with them on before they approve it but he does not have any issues with the annexation. Planning and Zoning 4-2-2008 Page 4 Troy Burnett inquired why this has not been reviewed before now because it has been submitted over 30 days. He feels the issues could have been resolved prior to this meeting. He would hope you would proceed with approval. Ron stated the requirements of 30 days in advance have nothing to do with staff review. He explained the 30 days is for the publication notice to the general public. They do not require a review of the preliminary plat at staff level, until after it has been seen. They are proposing to City Council that no land use proposals or construction drawings be brought to P&Z, until such time as, Lance has approved them. He explained Lance sees it basically at the same time P&Z sees it. Lance Bates stated he saw it and found some technical issues right away. Troy Burnett inquired if they can change policy in mid-stream. He feels that is not fair or right. Ron stated it has nothing to do with the policy change. Troy Burnett stated he has not seen a phone call and has no indication from anyone regarding any issues and it is frustrating to him. Tom Hunsaker closed the public hearing. The Commission talked about it fitting well right there. Quinn Simmons motioned to recommend approval of annexation of 2008-013 Quail Ridge Estates Phase II with zone RP. Steve Richards seconded. All in favor, the motion passed. Tom Hunsaker stated they can approve subject to changes. He asked Lance about the details so far on the issues. Lance stated he has questions on the road alignments and how it ties into Sunnyside Road, there are issues with water looping and how the sewer gets out to Sunnyside and the sewer offsite that has to be installed. He does not want to give the impression that everything is clean and good to go. Commission discussed tabling the issue. Troy Burnett inquired about the road alignments. Cindy stated this is a discussion that needs to take place at another time. Troy stated the road on the east side ties into Hawks Landing and there are no other major roads they need to align to. He talked about where other roads tie in. Tom stated that is what we like to see on the vicinity map. Tom inquired if they could control the cul-de-sacs a little bit more because we won’t be able to plow them out. Troy stated with the terrain in this area, you will have a hard time looping the roads with the grade issues. They did not look at the layout a whole lot because it was previously approved by P&Z. Tom commented the memorial is between the developer and Ms. Gomez. Troy stated the developer has been in contact with some of the family members but he does not know what has transpired. They have made different suggestions but an agreement has not been reached. The Commission talked about possibly tabling the issue. It was discussed all the parties need to come together and discuss the issues. Lance stated he is okay with them approving it, as long as, they have to meet what he recommends. Greg Maeser motioned to recommend approval for the Preliminary Plat for Quail Ridge Phase II with the condition that it meets the city engineer’s approval and the developer talks with the land owners about a memorial park. Scott Wessel seconded. All in favor, the motion passed. ACTION ITEMS A. Recommendation on Public Hearings: Planning Director Ron Folsom commented the need for City Council to hold its own public hearing is triggered by the perceived probability of new evidence being presented that could not be given in the initial public hearing held before Planning and Zoning or it is known there were people that did not get a chance to give evidence at the Planning and Zoning hearing because of whatever reason. It should not be based on the number of people that attended the Planning and Zoning hearing. Tom went through each Public Hearing with the Commission to see if another hearing is needed. New Beginnings – No, Sweet Water Lane – No, Membership Swimming Pool – No, Comprehensive map change – No, and Annexation and Preliminary Plat for Quail Ridge – No. Steve Richards motioned to recommend no additional hearings be heard on 2008-009, 2008-010, 2008-011, 2008-012, and 2008-013. Cindy Donovan seconded. All in favor, the motion passed. B. Final Plat – Oak Ridge Division 2: Planning Director Ron Folsom explained where the property is located. There was a preliminary plat approved at P&Z and City Council made small modifications to it. This piece will connect Curlew and the River Bend Manor area. Tom Hunsaker inquired about a water line from Well #8. Lance stated that is a different property and this one will not be involved.. Tom inquired about preliminary plans for the commercial property. He also inquired if lots 21-23 will change to the church. Tom Arave, 376 N. 200 E. Blackfoot, stated the answer to the second question is no, the church is not opting to use the property. The answer to the first question is that there has been quite a bit of discussion leaning towards medical type offices or assisted living centers. They do not have a preliminary plan yet. Quinn Simmons motioned to recommend approval for final plat of Oak Ridge, Division 2. Cindy Donovan seconded. All in favor, the motion passed. C. Final Plat and Site Plan – River Bend Manor: Planning Director Ron Folsom explained where the property is located. It has been looked at but has had changes made since they last looked at it. He wanted them to be aware that lots 5 & 6 had a tiny strip of property where they could have a tank. He explained they made changes so the tank could be put there which is why there is no apparent access to lots 5 or 6. He explained on the site plan you will see the Planning and Zoning 4-2-2008 Page 5 accesses. Quinn inquired about parking and the green space. Ron explained where the green space and parking are located. This property adjoins Oak Ridge. Lance explained the tank will be partially buried. Scott Wessel motioned to recommend approval of the Final Plat for River Bend Manor. Greg Maeser seconded. All in favor, the motion passed. Scott Wessel motioned to recommend approval of the Site Plan for River Bend Manor. Greg Maeser seconded. All in favor, the motion passed. th D. Site Plan – 2839 14 North: Planning Director Ron Folsom explained where the property is located. Alan Cunningham, 1020 Lincoln Road, explained there is a tenant which is a restoration business and there will be office space and storage area in the front for their restoration business. The business will be Service Master. Alan stated they will do what fire code requires. th Greg Maeser motioned to recommend approval of the Site Plan for 2839 14 North. Steve Richards seconded. All in favor, the motion passed. E. Preliminary & Final Plat – Sunnyside Maverik: Planning Director Ron Folsom explained where the property is located. There is a portion of the property zoned commercial and they are just buying a portion of that. It was inquired if there are irrigation ditches along there and how that will be handled. Alan Cunningham, 1020 Lincoln Road, stated there are irrigation ditches along there and they just recently got the drawings. They are trying to get a grasp on it and need to keep the current water running through. Scott inquired about Maverik on the north end and if there will be a telephone pole there. Alan explained there will not. Scott inquired about a turn signal. Alan stated they do not anticipate one. They plan on a five lane road and will work with Lance. They are not anticipating a right hand turn lane. Alan explained on Ammon Road and Sunnyside, they are planning 57 feet for their half of the right of way. Tom Hunsaker inquired about the west side of the street and if there is enough room to widen. Lance stated it depends if Speed Mart stays there or not. He stated unless redevelopment happens, it will probably stay the way it is. Quinn Simmons motioned to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat for Sunnyside Maverik. Rick Butler seconded. All in favor, the motion passed. Quinn Simmons motioned to recommend approval of the Final Plat for Sunnyside Maverik. Cindy Donovan seconded. All in favor, the motion passed. F. Site Plan – Maverik Sunnyside Road: Alan Cunningham, 1020 Lincoln Road, stated they submitted and received comments from the staff. What the Commission is seeing is what the staff reviewed first. He talked about the technical issues they have discussed previously with staff. The footprint will look like the other Maverik. Tom Hunsaker commented about BMPO’s recommendations for distances to entrances from the intersections. Lance stated this is as far as they can build with the amount of land they have. He does not think we can recommend they buy additional land. Lance is not concerned about there being any traffic problems. Tom inquired about the square footage of the store. Alan did not have it but guesses about 4300 square feet. The water retention is about 2-3 feet deep. Scott Wessel motioned to recommend approval of the Site Plan for Maverik Sunnyside Road. Dave Hill seconded. All in favor, the motion passed. G. Site Plan – Rick’s Farm – Townhouses: Planning Director Ron Folsom explained where the property is located and it’s for three separate buildings. The parking meets the requirements based on two units and landscaping. Scott Wessel inquired about covered parking. Alan Cunningham, 1020 Lincoln Road, stated they are providing for each townhouse to have one covered parking space - they will not be all covered and some will be free standing carports. Tom Hunsaker inquired about the south edge of the easement that provides access to the cell towers. Alan explained where the property is in relation to the cell towers. Tom Hunsaker commented that he does not feel the setbacks are correct. Alan stated they had this discussion and they designated a certain part as the rear. They do meet the requirements at this point. Tom commented about the 30 feet from the cell tower access. Alan stated it is not 30 feet, but it is an access easement and is not for public use. Ron feels it is not a vehicular public access, so he does not think it is a problem. It will not be asphalt or pavement. Tom Hunsaker commented about marketing issues since, as per our ordinance, it does not qualify as a town home but it does qualify as a condominium. Ron stated he can build these exactly as they are and build them as apartments or he could do a condo plat and sell each home individually. Ron explained condos are not addressed in the International Building Code. Tom explained they would just have to advertise them a little differently. Quinn Simmons motioned to recommend approval of the Site Plan for Rick’s Farm Townhouses. Scott Wessel seconded. All in favor, the motion passed. DISCUSSION ITEMS: A possible work session was discussed. It was determined it would be premature to hold it in April. REPORTS: Planning and Zoning 4-2-2008 Page 6 A. City Council Actions: Ron Folsom talked about Hawks Landing coming before City Council because Lance required changes to what Bill had allowed. It was at the preliminary stage when Lance requested changes. City Council ruled that Lance is correct and they would not reimburse Hawks Landing. When you do an approval, with technical review, you condition it contingent upon the engineer review. Ron talked about Pearl House and they have a letter from the City of Idaho Falls that will let them hook onto sewer for the time being. Ron talked about the Conditional Use Permits for the billboards and in the industrial area the Council approved the one to the north by the cemetery and turned the one down on the south end, and also turned down the one located south of Sunnyside. Ron explained he will be going to a class concerning controlling billboards in the City of Ammon. Ron explained they adopted a military leave policy. Ron talked about the flood plain policy that we have been working on. The City has budgeted about $50,000 over the past two years and the total came to about $120,000. The County kicked in $50,000 and the City of Ammon kicked in $50,000 and Foothills Property kicked in $50,000 and Rockwell Development kicked in $47,500; so we have the study paid for and the contracts have been sent to the engineer and he hopes to have a report by the end of the year. Lance stated that will have an impact on the Kingdom Hall that was approved tonight. Ron stated they signed the contract with the County to put the railroad crossing in on John Adams between Centennial Ranch and Warm Springs. Ron talked about possible LIDs. Lance explained the process for the LIDs. Ron explained they still do not know about the wells. Lance stated they do have bids back on #10. Ron stated they have a meeting with Idaho Falls tomorrow regarding impact area requests. He explained what we requested. B. City of Idaho Falls Planning and Zoning actions – Cindy Donovan: Cindy Donovan stated things would be on their website, but it is very slow. C. Bonneville County Planning and Zoning actions – Tom Hunsaker: Due to the lateness of the hour and lack of any County items in Ammon’s impact area, Tom did not give a report. The Commission motioned to adjourn and seconded. All in favor, the meeting adjourned. The meeting was adjourned at 11:30 p.m. ___________________________________________ Tom Hunsaker - Chairman ___________________________________________ Leslie Folsom – City Clerk Planning and Zoning 4-2-2008 Page 7
