Those present who wished to make comment were sworn in as a group in accord- ance with City Ordinance No. 191. In response to a request by Jeff Eaton to hear I ~ LD f'- o <( <( I I July 5, 1984 267 a report on a similar project in Draper, Utah, and a comment by Mary Walter regarding other developments that Mr. Alder may have been involved in, Mayor Swensen explained that he learned in a telephone call to Salt Lake City that the Draper facility is still in the planning stage and he understcod that P.M.S.I. does not have any other sports malls going at this time. Regarding a question by Ronald Graham about an alternate plan drawn up by Engineer Benton, Mayor Swensen pointed out that a copy of the proposal was sent to Mr. Alder but no response has come back. Mr. Eaton said that he was against the sports mall in the residential zone next to his property until more informa- tion is available, such as the background of the developer and what the buildings would look like. He and Mary Walter also expressed a desire to know if there is a compelling reason to have the facility in the Tie Breaker area rather than some place else. Larry Hunt stated that he lives on Fir,st Street (not within the Ammon City limits) where he enjoys the peace and quiet, so he objects to the change that this project would bring to the neighborhood and asked about what kind of law enforcement would be provided. A comment by Paul Roth, who noted that he does not live in Tie Breaker, indicated that he had seen locations where the presence of developments such as this has been a selling point for the area. G. L. "Chip" Snowden said that he was from California and had seen things like this and was pleased about the possibility of a sports mall. A petition signed by 81 people from various locations was presented by Mary Walter; the wording of the petition was as follows: "We the undersigned do hereby petition against the proposed 'Special Use Permit' requested by the Sport Mall to be buil t located at the entrance to Tie Breaker Village. ". According to Sharon Huskinson, the proposed development would be next to her backyard and she was very much opposed, stating also that there is plenty of larid already zoned commercial and that is where commercial things should be. Ronald Graham said that he would rather not have the sports mall put in, but presented a list of things that the residents think they can live with if a Special Use Permit is authorized. The conditions were read into the minutes by Mayor Swensen, as follows: 1) Buffer zone must be completed and approved before construction begins a. Minimum of 150-foot setback from buildings to nearest residential property line b. 100-foot landscaping buffer on east and south c. 50-foot landscaping buffer on north d.

Suitter of First Street Partners and Robert & Debra Suitter of 340 Tie Breaker Drive. In connection with the alternate plan which was mentioned earlier in the meeting, Mary Walter said she was opposed to the multi-family zoning which would be provided for in that proposal. Susan Eaton expressed concern about a decrease in property values in the Tie Breaker subdivision if the complex is allowed and noted that they were told when they moved in that the area would be resi- dential for 40 years. In response to a question by Mrs. Eaton regarding widening of First Street, Michael Browning pointed out that for future planning it is expected that there w'ill be expansion on all major roads and Engineer Benton indicated that he had no information about plans for widening First Street. D. F. Call asked if there would be control on the planning and construction schedule and was concerned about what I would happen if the development was started but not completed because of financial or other reasons. Inasmuch as there were no further comments, Mayor Sw'ensenTecommended that the Council consider the concerns and suggestions that had been expressed and try to get more in- formation from Mr. Alder before making a decision. A motion made by Councilwoman Dille and seconded by Councilman Monson to table a decision on the Special Use Permit for P.M.S.I. until a response is received from the applicant on the alternate proposal was withdrawn with permission of the second, since the discussion on the motion indicated a need to include more specifics which would ,reflect the conditions that would be acceptable. Councilman Quigley moved to authorize Mayor Sw'ensen to communicate with the people involved with the sports mall to ask if a revised proposal can be submitted, incorporating some of the suggestions and conditions listed and talked about, to be considered by the Council at the meeting on August 2.
