4)	PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTION ITEMS-

Mike Rodriguez stated that this project consists of three buildings; two triplexes and a duplex. A total of eight units. This requires a Class IV Conditional Use Permit. It is consistent with our standards and mimics single story types of development. Stucco exterior with rock accents. Dale Coulam stated these are the presentation materials that are mentioned in the Conditional Use Permit. The draft of the Conditional Use Permit has reminders of the ordinances to be complied with. We incorporate the presentation materials by reference. Paragraph 3 and 4 shows the requirements and Paragraph 5 has a caveat instead of building a road to nowhere around 250 West between Suncrest West and this project. Currently it is a wash. We installed a trench drain that helps with the storm water there. In order to complete street improvements to 200 South, 6 feet of asphalt would need to be installed on the South side, along with high back curb and gutter. It would help with the drainage issue and make improvements around this trench drain. Troy Nelson has agreed to split the costs equally with the City. This would be conditioned upon that agreement being approved by the City Council. Troy Nelson signed that agreement this afternoon. Should the Planning Commission be inclined to approve this, it is contingent on City Council's agreement. Commissioner Bryan Pack opened the Public Hearing. Hearing no comments, Commissioner Bryan Pack closed the Public Hearing.

Commissioner Lance Anderson asked what happened across the street? Is it one lot or can it be subdivided in the future? Dale Coulam stated it is owned by Wilford Hafen and he wasn't willing to participate so Troy Nelson is stepping up to pay that portion. Both Troy Nelson and the City come out ahead on this deal because that street has had flooding issues in the past. The City looks at this portion of 200 South as a safety and drainage problem with this as the best solution. Commissioner Lance Anderson stated that the City has no reason to build 250 West. Dale Coulam stated that the lots to the North are required to put their portion in on 250 West. Commissioner Bryan Pack asked if the landowner on the South wanted to come forward and subdivide could we require it then? Could we state if they do anything in the future they have to reimburse the City for their portion? Dale Coulam stated he does not believe that is legal. He has seen a case where it was not upheld because the work is already done and the owner has not agreed to it in advance.

MOTION: Commissioner Mike Scott moved to approve recommendation of a proposed Class IV Conditional Use Permit for Westbrook Townhomes, located at approximately 200 South and 200 West. Troy Nelson-Owner. Brent Baxter-Applicant, contingent on City Council's approval.
SECOND: Commissioner Lance Anderson

VOTE: The motion carried unanimously.

5)	DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL ACTION ITEMS-

Item was skipped due to lack of quorum to be able to vote.

Dale Coulam stated that this is the portion of our zoning ordinance regarding parking of recreational vehicles. Right now there are no proposed changes. We can wait and see if you have changes. If you go down 200 East to the new Discovery subdivision phase and 600 South, there is one lot that has three recreational vehicles without a side wall and the home next to that has two recreational vehicles with a side wall. The question is should we require screening with a six foot fence. That was the main issue we were asked to look at. Planning Commission can look it over and see if we are okay with the definitions between occupiable and unoccupiable. Commissioner Lance Anderson inquired if we are imposing an extra cost to our citizens? Everything we do is about hiding stuff, and making things go away so he may have a different view than others. He goes by the Transportation plan and it would maybe be helpful in some subdivisions to change it. We shouldn't allow it on our public roads in the transportation plan.

MOTION: Commissioner Mike Scott moved to table discussion of possible zoning text amendments regarding recreational vehicles.
SECOND: Commissioner Lance Anderson

VOTE: The motion carried unanimously.
