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.
