CENTER AND PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE HISTORICAL MUSEUM
PRESENT: Mayor Brad Andersen, Council members Dennis McArthur, Steve Elliott, Jane
Shaw, Dan Gubler, Treasurer Ron Nelson, Work Supervisor Zech Prouse, Betty McKinlay
(filling in for City Clerk Robyn Keyes while Robyn is at ICCTFOA )
VISITORS: Sally Price, Barbara Schreier, Michael Schreier, Sharon Welker, ZoAnn Simmons,
Sharon and Dale Rockwood, Ronald H. Bodily, Bob and EmmaJean Griffes-Koepplin, John
Price
Mayor Andersen brought the meeting to order and Council member Dennis McArthur led the
pledge.
The first item of business was the Consent Agenda. The Council reviewed the City Council
Minutes, and Ron discussed the Financial Report. Council member Dan Gubler motioned to
approve the Consent Agenda and Council member Steve Elliott seconded. All were in favor.
Motion carried.
Council member Dan Gubler asked if we had heard any more about the water study from Keller.
The Mayor said that he signed an agreement with the development company. The State will give
us $12,500 to match our $12,500 to complete the study so we can apply for the grant. We were
on the list for the low interest loan to do it this year, but since we are not ready they deferred it
and gave it to someone else. We have already paid $6,500 and there will probably be other
costs. Mayor Andersen said we talked about getting as much done ourselves and take the middle
man out. When we do need an engineer then we can bring one in.
The Mayor said he called the Attorney, Dale Storer about the delinquent water bills and being
allowed to shut the water off. He said the attorney said since we are not regulated we can shut it
off at anytime. We were under the conception that we could not shut off the water in the winter.
The Attorney said even if we are right we are wrong in the eyes of the public if we shut
someone's water off. The Attorney said it is bad PR and the news paper or TV station gets word
of it and all of a sudden we are on the front page. We would be the bad guy. Turning the water
off would be the last resort. We probably have about ten that need their water shut off. There is
one property owner that has not paid for his rentals for three or four months and it was suggested
that they talk to the renters and maybe the property owner would pay. With Police Chief
Basaraba on staff he may be able to take care of some of the delinquent bills and do some of the
code enforcement. The Attorney also said that if we can work out any payment schedule with
these people then that is the way to go.
Public Hearing was held at 7:00 for the Iona Historical Museum. Mayor Andersen read the
minutes from the P/Z meeting that was held September 3rd. ZoAnn Simmons, Chairperson of
the Historical Museum attended the P/Z meeting on September 3r1 and presented the Conditional
Use Permit. The P/Z approved the Museum Conditional Use Permit.
Mayor Andersen turned the time over to Mrs. Simmons for any information that she would like
to add. Mrs. Simmons said she cannot give any information of how the Museum will be
refurbished because the Committee is at the stage of raising funds. She said there will be a
bathroom inside, the yard will be put in and a fence put in. It all takes time and money and she
said they cannot do it until they get the money. As far as saying what will be done and when,
there is no way of knowing right now. She said they want to do it as fast as they can. She said
their financial committee is having a meeting Thursday night. The brochures will go out to the
members of the town. Mrs. Simmons gave the Mayor and Council members each a brochure.
When the Museum was put downstairs in this building, the memorabilia was collected in one
week. Mrs. Simmons said that there are things that can be put in the museum for generations to
come. She said the committee is real excited about it and some donations have come in and they
are ready to go on.
Mayor Andersen asked what time the meeting was Thursday. The reply was that it will be at
Blair Simmons home at 7:00 p.m. Mayor Andersen was concerned about another meeting in the
building. There are two meetings scheduled in the building on Thursday night. Mrs. Simmons
said the Museum is open to anyone. She said if anything pertains to this area they would address
it. She said that anything that is donated to the museum will belong to the museum. It has to be
a permanent donation so the museum will be intact.
Mayor Andersen turned the time over to Mrs. Koepplin. She had prepared a statement that she
read. She is concerned about people parking in front of her house and visitors. She showed a
picture of a fence they would like to install in the right-of-way in front of their home. They do
not want curb or gutter and a side walk in front of their home.
Council member Dan Gubler asked about the fence. He was wondering if Mrs. Koepplin was
going to install the fence or if she wanted the City to install it. She said they would do it with
Work Supervisor Zech Prouse over seeing the installation. She said they are not the ones
changing the rules and zoning. When they bought their home it was residential.
Mayor Andersen asked for a raise of hands of those in favor of the Conditional Use Permit. Mrs.
Simmons asked what the Conditional Use Permit means. The Mayor said that it means the same
thing that he read in the P/Z minutes. Mrs. Simmons asked if someone could change that in the
future. She was wondering if it would stay permanent for the museum or if someone could come
in and change it. Council member Jane Shaw explained that as long as they met the conditions
there would be no change. Mrs. Simmons said that she was not very clear on it. She asked if the
conditions were that of Mrs. Koepplin or the City's conditions. The Mayor said that they are the
Historical Museum Committee's conditions and the City's that have been approved. He said it is
not Mrs. Koepplin's decisions or anyone else. Mrs. Simmons asked if it could be put in writing
so the Historical Museum Committee would not have to worry about it. The Mayor explained
that the P/Z approved it on condition that the City Council would address Mrs. Koepplin. The
Mayor said that if the Council does not want to put up a fence or barrier than they can approve it
on the Council's conditions that are appropriate. It does not mean if someone comes in and says
they want this and that, that the City will do it. So part of the Conditional Use Permit is that the
City will set what the standards are.
The Mayor asked again by show of hands those in favor of the Conditional Use Permit. Council
member Dennis McArthur asked if it was for the Museum and not to change the zoning. The
answer was yes. By show of hands the following are in favor of the Museum:
Aye: Dale Rockwood
Sharon Rockwood
ZoAnn Simmons
Mike Schreier
Barbara Schreier
Sally Price
Ron Bodily
Nay: EmmaJean Griffes-Koepplin
Bob Koepplin
Sharon Welker asked the question of what happens when they make a zone change. The Mayor
explained that a zone change was not made. They were asking for a Conditional Use Permit to
use it as a Museum. Mrs. Welker asked if everyone on that block was notified. The Mayor
assured her that everyone within 300 feet was notified. Mrs. Welker said that a day care center
went in on their block and they were not notified. The Mayor assured her again that people were
notified. She feels a lot of changes are going on and a lot of people don't know. The Mayor said
it is posted on the door and in the news paper. It also goes out on the water bills.
Sally Price feels that the Museum will be an asset to the community. She was wondering about
the meeting last month and the girl being turned down for the dance studio. Council member
Dan Gubler explained to her that there was opposition last month about the dance studio and the
bed and breakfast. The girl wanted to have the dance students come to the City building and
pick them up. She had already made arrangements to use the City building prior to that. The
people that came to that meeting took up almost the entire parking lot. It was turned down. The
Mayor said that we take everything into account.
Mrs. Price asked if the concerns of the Koepplin's were going to be addressed. The Mayor said
that the Council would discuss Koepplin's concerns before the hearing is closed.
Mrs. Simmons feels that if the Museum was alongside the Koepplin property she would be
concerned, but where the Museum is across the street she feels the parking is more of a City
problem and not a Museum problem. If they don't want someone parking there then they should
put up a sign. Mrs. Welker said may be everyone should put up no parking signs. She lives in
front of the Church and people park in front of her house. Council member Dennis McArthur
explained how in the summer people park all the time for games etc. in front of his house. It is
not his land. It is the City right-of-way.
The meeting was open for Council discussion. Council member Dan Gubler knows of Mrs.
Koepplin's concerns, but if a fence is put up in the easement everyone will want to do it and that
just is not feasible and it is not the city's responsibility to put up a fence. She also stated that
she does not want a side walk and curb and gutter across the front. Curb and gutter has not been
planned for and is not in the City budget. May be down the road it will exist. When the time
tito
comes it is City property and will probably be put in. Council member Gubler feels the parking
lot at the Museum will be adequate plus parking at the Stanger building. Council member
Dennis McArthur feels the Museum could educate their patrons by having a sign out that says
parking at the museum or at the Stanger building. He feels a sign could also be put up in front of
the Koepplin's home. Work Supervisor Zech Prouse suggested putting up two signs between the
Koepplin's property saying no parking and having the police officer enforce it. Council member
Jane Shaw suggested the Koepplin's put up a No Trespassing sign if they do not want strangers
coming onto their property to take pictures. Council member Dan Gubler suggested putting up a
chain link fence around their property to protect their property and the City's. Mr. Koepplin said
he does not want a chain link fence. Council member Gubler was suggesting some protection for
Mr. Koepplin. Mr. Koepplin feels so much is happening to them with the growth etc. and they
are not being confronted. They would like a say and work with the City. Council member
Dennis McArthur asked if the parking was the only concern. Mr. Koepplin replied that the
parking and the strangers coming on their property are their two concerns. They have the
activities of the art building and the activities in the park all the time. They feel bombarded at
times and they get frustrated. Mayor Andersen asked the Koepplin's when they bought the
house if the Stanger building and the park were there. Mr. Koepplin replied that the Stanger
building was there and the riding arena was there. The Mayor asked what is worse the park or
riding horses in the arena. The Mayor said that the City is trying to work with them. They
bought the house knowing that the park was there, knowing that there would be activities. When
they purchased the property they knew what was there. Mr. Koepplin explained that when they
bought the house the baseball games were only two days a week and now they are Monday
through Thursday. Mr. Koepplin feels the park does not need to be occupied 100% of the time.
The park allows for relaxation and to have a picnic and watch the kids play in the grass. The
riding arena is gone now and he looks at a baseball field. They understand that parks are to be
used and they are okay with the sounds of children playing, but they have a different experience
now than they did when they bought the house. The Mayor said the City is trying to do the best
for the City. He said the baseball field was installed on the north end of the park to eliminate
some of the overcrowding. Council member Steve Elliott said that the Stanger building was
pretty much run down and look at it now. He assured the Koepplin's that the Museum would
look the same way. It may take a few years but it will add value to the people who live around it.
The Historical Committee is dedicated.
Council member Dan Gubler suggested that the Museum put up a sign educating people to park
at the Stanger building and not across the street. Council member Steve Elliott explained to Mrs.
Simmons about putting up a sign that read over flow parking at the Stanger building or at the
park.
Council member Dennis McArthur moved to accept the Conditional Use Permit for the
Historical Museum under the conditions that they put up an educational sign where to park and
that the City in the near future puts up a sign saying No Parking between these signs at the
Koepplin's and instruct the police officer of enforcing the no parking as much as he can.
Council member Steve Elliott seconded. Roll call as follows:
Aye: Council member Dennis McArthur
Council member Steve Elliott
Council member Jane Shaw
Council member Dan Gubler
Nay: None
Motion carried.
Mayor Andersen presented a plaque to the Historical Museum Committee to recognize all the
hours they have put into the two volumes of history books and the work they are doing on the
museum. The Mayor said he wanted to present it at the Iona Days, but understands that a
baseball team, in which ZoAnn's grandson was involved in, was out of state playing. So, the
Mayor chose now to present the plaque to chair person ZoAnn Simmons and the Museum
Committee.
Next on the agenda was the trash mandate. Mayor Andersen talked to Attorney Dale Storer and
there are four times during the year to go out for public vote. We don't have to, but the Mayor
feels it would be better to vote. We can do a mandate or a franchise. An Ordinance has to be in
place if we do a mandate. The Council discussed the issue. Council member Gubler asked if we
have the right to dictate a fee. He doesn't feel the franchise allows us to do that. The discussion
continued. Council member Gubler wants to know what the stipulations are on the franchise.
Mayor Andersen asked Council member Gubler if he would talk to our Attorney Dale Storer
about the franchise. The Council needs to make a decision on which way to go next month.
Council member Dan Gubler feels it will probably be January before the public can vote. Sharon
Welker asked about those people who do not have trash pickup. Some people cannot afford it.
She said if she has to pay for her trash it will be on the Mayor's lawn. Council member Dan
Gubler reminded her of the survey that went out and one of the questions was about trash service
and almost 70% requested the service. Mrs. Welker asked why she has to have the trash service
if she does not want to. Council member Dan Gubler explained the reason, to reduce the cost.
She said she does not pay anything. Health was another reason. There are several garbage
trucks that come into Iona and by eliminating some of the trucks our roads will last longer.
Council member Jane Shaw explained that there are a lot of people in the community who
already have trash service and it is not fair to them if they have the opportunity to have it at a
lower cost, but they are denied that opportunity because 12 people don't want to pay at all. We
try to do something that is good for the entire community and there are some people who don't
want it. That is why we are putting it toward a vote and not mandating it. The Mayor said that
Council member Dan Gubler will get back with us next month.
At the request of Mayor Andersen the Appropriation Ordinance was read by title:
ORDINANCE NO. 139
AN ORDINANCE ENTITLED THE ANNUAL APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE FOR
THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2008, APPROPRIATING THE SUM OF
$820,600.00 TO DEFRAY EXPENSES AND LIABILITIES OF THE CITY OF IONA FOR
SAID FISCAL YEAR, AUTHORIZING A LEVY OF A SUFFICIENT TAX UPON THE
TAXABLE PROPERTY AND SPECIFYING THE OBJECTS AND PURPOSE FOR WHICH
SAID APPROPRIATION IS MADE.
The foregoing Ordinance was presented by title only. Council member Dennis McArthur moved
and Council member Steve Elliott seconded, that the provisions of Idaho Code Section 50-902
requiring all Ordinances to be read by title, and once in full, on three separate dates be dispensed
with and the Ordinance be passed on all three readings. Ro11 call as follows:
Aye: Council member Dennis McArthur
Council member Steve Elliott
Council member Jane Shaw
Council member Dan Gubler
Nay: None
Motion carried.
Mayor Andersen said that last year he tried to work on a grant to increase the bike path along
50th East down to the new sub -division and out Iona Road to where the new Church is being built
on Quaky Aspen. He got through the approval process but they needed engineering costs etc.
and we did not make the deadline. This year Paul Snarr, who use to work for Bonneville County
and now works for Schiess Engineering, and Guy Blissner from Bonneville School District has
been working with Mayor Andersen, and they put in for a grant which is a 100% for safe routes
to school. We will know by October 1st if we get it. It is a little over $99,000 to complete this
project. We get a grant that is 100%, but we have to pay for it first and then the State will
reimburse us. It would come out of our capital improvement and general maintance fund. They
would start this project in April and it would have to be done by the end of June. Once it is
started we have to pay for it, but the State will reimburse us within two or three weeks. We
would pay the $99,000 to do it and they will reimburse us in July. The Council said they would
like to see something in writing before they spend that much money. The Mayor showed the
papers that have to go to the State for approval. The Council does not have to approve it until we
know we are getting the grant. The Mayor left the papers with Betty to file and the Council can
come in the office and look at it. Council member Dan Gubler said he does not have a problem
with it unless it impacts the budget on other projects that we have, specifically water. The
Mayor said that is a different account. Treasurer Ron Nelson said that $100,000 was not in the
budget. The Mayor said that under capital improvements and maintance we have enough money
to do it and we get reimbursed. The Mayor said we have money in savings. We can reopen the
budget and take money out of the savings. But he feels there is money from other expenditures
that can be used. Council member Dan Gubler suggested tabling this until next month.
Reports were given. Betty McKinlay had nothing to report other than it was nice to be back and
to see everyone.
Work Supervisor Zech Prouse reported that he is trying to get ready for winter. He will start a
hydrant flushing program before snow flies. Council member Gubler asked if someone from the
Fire Department could come out for the test and service they need also. Zech said they could
coordinate with him. It is required to flush the hydrants twice a year. Zech said they tried to
service the line break at Ernie's Cafe and the line was so deteriorated that they ended up putting
a new service to the cafe and there will not be an issue anymore of the piggy back connection.
Zech said he has a surplus of chips from the seal coating if anyone knows of people who need it.
He is going to use some at each end of the park but will have some left over.
The Mayor discussed the Attorney attending our meetings. Because of the cost we have agreed
that when we do have questions, we have him on a retainer and he has set aside some time to
take phone calls when we have a public hearing. If we have a question we just call him. The
Mayor feels this is the best way. Council member Dan Gubler asked if we pay him $600 a
month will it cost us more than $600 a month? He feels we do not have to stick with Mr.
Storer's services if he is so expensive. He feels if we are paying him $600 a month we surely
could come to a contract and drop the retainer fee to have him present at our meetings. The
Mayor said we don't want to have him here for two or three hours and doing nothing. Council
member Gubler said we could just have him to our public hearings to answer questions. The P/Z
has requested the same issue. The Mayor said that Mr. Storer does a lot for him in answering
questions and consulting. Council member Steve Elliott mentioned that Mr. Storer has done a lot
for the Museum in getting the documents ready etc. Council member Dan Gubler is just
concerned that Mr. Storer is not at our meetings and things have to be put off. The Mayor said
that we just have to call him. The Mayor said he would visit with Mr. Storer and see how much
it would cost to have him attend the public hearings between certain hours.
The light pole at the tennis court was discussed. Council member Steve Elliott said the City of
Idaho Falls has one they just need it delivered.
Mayor Andersen asked the Council how they felt about having a dinner meeting and inviting
their spouses. It would still be a public meeting. He was thinking sometime before the end of
September. The Council agreed on Monday the 29th. The Mayor will have City Clerk Robyn
Keyes e-mail them.
Council member Dennis McArthur said there is a meeting in the building tomorrow night. It is
the IBSD meeting and they are talking about the Ashwood Acres sewer problems and he feels
the City should attend. There is also a meeting on Thursday night.
The Council discussed the concerns of the Koepplin's. The Council feels they need to approach
them and see about a privacy fence.
Council member Steve Elliott said he would talk to the Historical Museum Committee about
moving some of the memorabilia to make room for the new police officer in the room
downstairs.
Council member Jane Shaw asked if Free Ave. was going to be fixed. Work Supervisor Zech
Prouse said it is done.
Council member Dan Gubler said that Steve Serr approached him about Bob McBride. Mr.
McBride is not authorized or does not have the certification for fire inspection. Steve Serr
approached Mr. Gubler to see if the Council would authorize Mr. Serr to do the fire inspection at
the Church on Iona Road. Mr. Serr works for the county and there would be no cost to the City.
Council member Dennis McArthur motioned to authorize Steve Serr to approve the fire
inspection to the Church that is being built on Iona Road. Council member Steve Elliott
seconded. A11 were in favor. Motion carried.
Another concern Council member Dan Gubler had was IBSD has elected to use our building to
hold their meetings. He was wondering if we could waive the rental fee. Most of the people that
attend the meetings are from Iona. The Mayor said if you start doing it for one person you will
have to do it for others. Council member Gubler said they are an elected board and they do
service for our community. John Price said they have been meeting at the Benton Engineering
building and nobody knows if they are being charged a fee. They can't get more than ten people
in the building. Council member Steve Elliott suggested to Mr. Price to ask Allan Hansen if they
could use the Ernie's Cafe building which is not being used at this time. They have looked into
other places to rent. It is an open meeting and people should be able to come. The Council
discussed a fee. Council member Dan Gubler motioned to set the fee for the IBSD to use the
building for $50.00 per month for their monthly meetings and if they have a special meeting
there would be no charge. Mr. Price asked the City to give the IBSD a memo to that affect.
Council member Dennis McArthur seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion carried.
Council member Dan Gubler discussed the baseball diamonds. It has been proposed by the girl's
softball to take out the sod out of the in field and they want engineered dirt put in. Council
member Steve Elliott asked what age group they are talking about, and why they need the sod
out. The reply was 10-14 year olds and they want it out because girl's softball likes it. Council
member Gubler said it would require less water. The Council discussed the issue. The Mayor
asked Council member Gubler to talk to the baseball director and get some options.
The last item Council member Gubler had was if the City wanted the Rexburg Museum to house
our old fire truck. Mayor Andersen received a letter two or three years ago from the Rexburg
Museum saying if we were not going to show case the truck then they would put it on display at
their museum. Scott Long, who was on the Council at that time, was not for taking it to
Rexburg. He wanted it restored and displayed at Iona Days and different functions. Council
member Gubler visited with Scott Long and he has no problem with it being housed in the
Rexburg Museum. Scott said it is too bad that we do not have the money to restore the truck.
Council member Gubler said he would drive to Rexburg and approach them about how to get the
truck up there and that we still want to retain ownership.
Council member Dennis McArthur asked about the letter from the Mayor that was in his mail
box about attending the P/Z meetings. He was wondering if he was reading it right. The Council
is not to attend the P/Z meetings. A discussion followed.
Meeting adjourned. Time: 9:15.

APPENDIX A
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING SEPTEMBER 3, 2008
IONA COMMUNITY CENTER
PUBLIC HEARING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST
IONA HISTORICAL SOCIETY
8:00 P.M.
PRESENT: Planning and Zoning members; Bruce Case, Adrian Beazer, Brad Bateman,
Roy Hobbs, City Clerk, Robyn Keyes
ABSENT: Planning and Zoning chairman, Jared Wight
VISITORS: ZoAnn Simmons, Jeanne Koepplin, Sharon Rockwood, Art Davis, Caroll
Davis, Dale Rockwood, Ron Bodily, Ken Thomas, Kay Olsen, Ron Mosher, Julie
Carlisle, Jack Carlisle, Sally Price
The Iona Historical Society has purchased the property at 5293 Rockwood Avenue, Iona,
Idaho, which is zoned R-1 residential. The Historical Society has requested a conditional
use permit for the purpose of operating the Iona Historical Museum.
Planning and Zoning member Bruce Case explained the procedure for a public hearing
and asked if there were any questions, there were not, so Planning and Zoning member
Case read the detailed request for the permit, which stated that the Iona Historical Society
has purchased the property at 5293 Rockwood Avenue. The yard is the original Iona
Tithing yard for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. In 1895 the Bingham
Stake Offices were in the rock building, which was built by James E. Steele, the Bingham
Stake President. The Historical Society will undertake this project of restoring this
historical building to a Historical Pioneer Museum, housing many local histories and
historical facts for future generations. P/Z member case asked if Mrs. Simmons would
like to add anymore to the information.
Mrs. Simmons stated that the Iona Historical Museum had been housed in the Iona City
building for many years and was not a new entity. Mrs. Simmons also said that this house
would be the second building that the Historical Society had renovated. The first building
renovated was the Stanger Memorial building, which is now on the historical register.
Planning and Zoning member Case asked if anyone that was in favor of the request
would like to comment. Jack Carlisle said that he supported the preservation of historical
buildings and that it was his understanding that the person that had purchased the house
before wanted to tear the house down. Sharon Rockwood asked if there could be a show
of hands for those that were in favor, but did not want to comment. Panning and Zoning
member Case said that would be alright and asked for those that were in favor but did not
want to speak to raise their hands. ZoAnn Simmons, Sharon Rockwood, Bruce
1
Rockwood, Art Davis, Carroll Davis, Ron Bodily, Kay Olsen and Ken Thomas raised
their hands.
Planning and Zoning member Case asked if anyone that was neutral would like to
comment. Jeanne Koepplin said that she had a letter prepared and gave the Planning and
Zoning members a copy. Mrs. Koepplin proceeded to read the letter (attached) which
stated that she and her husband owned the home across the street from the proposed
museum. Mrs. Koepplin had many questions about the contents of the museum and its
representation. The questions relevant to the impact of the neighborhood for the proposed
museum were; Will the City turn the water on so the lawn is not allowed to burn up?
Would there be restrooms inside the museum? Will the museum preserve plants which
are significant to the historical character of the community? Will there be any late night
or overnight use of the building? How will parking be managed? Mrs. Koepplin said that
she understood that the easement in front of her house was technically the City's
property, but that she and her husband maintained the grass planted there and did not see
justification for people to treat is as a parking lot. Mrs. Koepplin requested no parking in
front of her house and would like a physical barrier, such as an ornamental fence at the
edge of the street. Mrs. Koepplin does not want a curb or sidewalk in front of her house.
Ron Mosher said that he was in favor of the museum but since his back yard bordered the
museum, he would like a privacy fence built between the two.
Planning and Zoning member Case asked if anyone that was against the request would
like to speak, no one did so the time was turned over to Mrs. Simmons for rebuttal.
Mrs. Simmons said that any information or artifact that was a part of the local history was
welcomed in the museum. Mrs. Simmons said that the museum yard would be
refurbished and a sprinkler system installed and that the restrooms would be inside of the
building. Mrs. Simmons said that the Stanger Memorial building across the street would
share their parking lot for visitors to the museum. P/Z member Case asked how many
spots were in front of the museum and would there be parking in back. Mrs. Simmons
said there was room for six cars in front and that parking would not be allowed in back.
P/Z members Bateman and Case asked about a fence in the back, Mrs. Simmons said that
she would address the issue with the Historical Society and thought that the fence would
be addressed when the yard was refurbished. P/Z member Case asked if there were
anymore questions or comments, there were not, so P/Z member Case closed the public
portion of the hearing and opened the floor to the Planning and Zoning Commission for
questions and comments.
Planning and Zoning member Adrian Beazer asked if the Historical Society was part of
the City government, Mrs. Simmons said they were not. P/Z member Roy Hobbs said
that he appreciated the historical value of the museum, but was concerned with liabilities
and safety. P/Z member Hobbs suggested that the Historical Society provide a copy of a 2
or 3 year plan.

Planning and Zoning member Brad Bateman said that he could appreciate Mrs.
Koepplin's concerns, but that the easement in front of Mrs. Koepplins house was public
property and that it seemed that the Historical Society was addressing the parking
concerns.
Planning and Zoning member Adrian Beazer said that conditions can be placed for
parking and that perhaps the City could help with that issue. P/Z member Beazer also
suggested that an impact study was implemented as part of the conditions of the permit.
Planning and Zoning member Bruce Case said that it is best to try to foresee future issues
and try to address those issues now. P/Z member Case asked Mrs. Koepplin what her
greatest concern was. Mrs. Koepplin's reply was parking and that some sort of barrier
would be placed along the front easement and that she would also like to see what the
Museum plans were in writing. P/Z member Case said that the City police officer would
issue parking citations for vehicles that were parked illegally.
Mrs. Simmons said that she would work with Mrs. Koepplin regarding her concerns.
Mrs. Simmons said that she did not believe the Museum would encroach upon Mrs.
Koepplins personal space.
Planning and Zoning member Roy Hobbs made a motion to approve the request with the
recommendation that the Iona Historical Society does an impact study/report which
would address the primary issues that Mrs. Koepplin had. Planning and Zoning member
Brad Bateman seconded the motion. All were in favor.
Motion carried until reviewed by City Council.
Public hearing closed at 9:09 p.m.
Planning and Zoning member Adrian Beazer asked Clerk Robyn Keyes to provide a copy
of the Iona Code Book Title 11 Chapter 8 Sections 1 and 2 to Mrs. Simmons.
