PRESENT: Chairman Melanie Keyes, Member Michael Thompson, Member John Lott,
Member Dee Johnson, Member Jake Lindsey, Member Shane Harrigfeld, and City Clerk Shara
Roberts.
ABSENT: None.
VISITORS: Joel Keyes, and Dale & Janet Steele.
Chairman Keyes welcomed everyone and Member Lindsey led with the Pledge of Allegiance.
Approval of Minutes: Member Johnson moved to approve the minutes for April 12th, 2017 as
written. Member Thompson seconded the motion. All in favor, motion carried.
Items of Business:
Variance Application — Corner of Longhurst Ave. and Dayton St. — Dale Steele — Public
Hearing: Chairman Keyes explained the public hearing process and asked Dale Steele to present
the variance application for the property in question, "Exhibit A".
Citizen Dale Steele located at 5332 E. Steele Ave. explained he owns the property at 3813 N.
Dayton St. and currently rents it out. He expressed the individuals have been great tenants, and
have approached him about purchasing the property, but they have no use for the shop that sits
on the back of the property. He would like to separate the shop from the home, and replat it to be
included with his parcel at 5332 E. Steele Ave. However, in doing so the lot would not meet the
0.33 acre requirement in the Single Family Residential (R-1) Zoning which is why he is applying
for the variance.
Member Lindsey asked Mr. Steele if he knew what size the remaining parcel would be Mr.
Steele indicated he didn't have that information at this time. However, he expressed there are lots
surrounding that property he believes are much smaller.
Member Johnson asked about the dimensions of the shop. Mr. Steele estimated it to be 35 X 47,
approximately 1,645 square feet. The Commission explained the setback requirements which
would also need to be included in the measurements.
Chairman Keyes opened the public portion of the hearing; those in favor, one; neutral none;
opposed none.
Chairman Keyes closed the public portion of the hearing.
After further discussion, the Commission expressed to Mr. Steele they would like to know the
exact measurements of both lot sizes. However, indicated if 3813 N. Dayton St. was to remain at
least a 0.25 acre lot they would feel comfortable with the approval of the variance.
Chairman Keyes entertained a motion. Member Harrigfeld moved to recommend to City Council
1
to approve the variance if it would allow the parcel located at 3813 N. Dayton St. to remain .25
acre lot or larger, pending exact measurements be provided to the Council during the second
public hearing. Member Lindsey seconded the motion. All in favor, motion carried.
Reports:
Area of Impact — North Springs Division #2: Chairman Keyes reported she had sent a written
comment to Bonneville County's Planning and Zoning Commission in regards to this particular
development in the City's Area of Impact basically requesting the developer comply with the
City of Iona's ordinance in regards to right-of-ways and lot size, "Exhibit B. She further
reported herself, Member Johnson, and Mayor Andersen attended the public meeting in hopes to
provide some comment and feedback to the Commission, but was not afforded that opportunity.
They were able to talk with the Engineer for the North Springs development who made an
alternative suggestion of only having 50 foot right of ways opposed to the required 70 foot right
of ways which would allow for 0.333 acre lot sizes.
Clerk Roberts explained Mayor Andersen also reached out to Attorney Dale Storer to clarify the
public hearing process on land use issues. Attorney Storer indicated he would need to check the
County's Subdivision Ordinance to see if it requires a public hearing for subdivision plats. The
Idaho Land Use Planning Act does not require a public hearing for subdivision plats, although
most city and county subdivision ordinances do.
Member Johnson reported he stayed for the entirety of the public meeting and actually was able
to speak. He expressed to the Commission the reason the City prefers 0.33 lot sizes vs. 0.25 lot
sizes because it doesn't prohibit property owners from wanting "toys", and accessory buildings
for storage with limited room, which in turn causes overflowing parking issues on the streets.
Member Johnson further explained the Commission inquired what percentage of 0.25 acre lots
currently exist in the City and inquired if there were areas the City would be willing to zone to
allow for those lot sizes. He further expressed he got the impression the City will need to come
up with some areas or a percentage of 0.25 acre lots they would be willing to allow to show
compromise before any progress is made on updating the current Area of Impact Agreement.
Chairman Keyes inquired if the City Engineer would be able to figure that out as a first step in
the right direction. Clerk Roberts explained she would need to take that through the City Council
for approval. After further discussion, the Commission directed Clerk Roberts to begin research
on the City's lot sizes, and asked if she would send out another copy of the letter which was sent
by previous Chairman Garren outlining the changes the City would like to see in regards to the
Area of Impact Agreement. Further discussion was tabled until the next meeting.

Dear Planning and Zoning:
CITY OF IONA
3548 North Main
P.O. Box 487
Iona, Idaho 83427
Phone: (208) 523-5600
Fax: (208) 535-0087
I am writing this letter on behalf of Iona's Planning and Zoning Commission in regards to the
North Spring Division #2. This development will be located within the City of Iona's Area of
Impact, and as such, we have requests that we would like you to consider.
The development should be subject to the agreement between the County and the City, which
Iona has been trying to update for several years now to bring development within the Area of
City Impact in line with how Iona intends to grow. Of note, it is rare for Iona to permit high
density housing (anything more densely packed than 1 /3 acre lots), particularly on the outskirts
of town, where the North Spring Division is proposed. In the past, other developers have been
willing to build 1/3 acre lots as opposed to 1/4 acre lots to be consistent with the direction Iona
intends to grow. Although this is not a stipulation of our Area of Impact Agreement in its current
form, we respectfully request that this new proposed Development be held to this minimum lot
size, in the hopes that this will fit better with the City as we expand, and potentially annex in this
subdivision at some point in the future.
We would also request that all non -arterial streets maintain a minimum right or way width of 70
feet as outlined in our Area of Impact agreement.
Our community has the potential to be affected by this development, and we ask that our
requests be considered to keep in line with the ordinances that the City of Iona has in place, as
well as compliment the adjacent development in North Springs Division #1.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter, and we look forward to working with you in the
future to update our Area of Impact in a manner that is consistent with our current direction.
Chair, Iona Planning and Zoning
