The Public Hearing to consider a sideyard variance for Norma Johnson of 2260
Curlew, which was scheduled for this meeting before the City Council acting as
the Board of Adjustments, was dismissed without action. Councilman Hall
reported that the Planning and Zoning Commission met with Mrs. Johnson and her
contractor, and they determined how construction could proceed without a
variance.
Jim and Candy Turnbull, 3335 Taylorview Lane, appeared at the request of the
Council to review their business operations, Sunshine Sprinkler Systems, to
determine if they are in violation of the City of Ammon's zoning ordinances.
The City received a complaint that Turnbulls are operating a commercial
enterprise in a residential zone. Councilman Maeser discussed the requirements
of the zoning ordinances including those for home occupation permits.
Turnbull's residence is located in an RP zone which does not allow either a
commercial operation or a home occupation. Jim Turnbull explained his Sunshine
Sprinkler business. He operates his business from the home, but no physical
work is done at the home. Clerical work is done at home; phone calls are
received at home, but mostly they are received by an answering service; and the
business mail is addressed to a Post Office box. Installation equipment is
parked at the house, and that is apparently the problem. Pipe was delivered
to the house, but the practice has been discontinued and is picked up from the
supplier as needed. It was determined that Sunshine Sprinkler Systems does not
qualify as a home occupation; it is definitely a commercial operation, but the
major portion of his business is conducted away from his residence. The Council
advised Turnbulls to limit the storage of equipment at their residence.
Two letters have been received from Melinda DeVoe, 9277 North 15 East, Idaho
Falls, Idaho, regarding the swimming pool. One letter praised the swimming
instruction program, and one letter expressed concern about the lack of a
barrier between the viewing area and the parking area. Councilman Maeser
