Minutes of April 09, 2014 as written. Member Hobbs seconded the motion. All were in favor,
motion carried.
Jerry Hansen Public Hearing — Annexation/Zoning of Property Located at the Corner of
49th North and 55th East: Chairman Garren explained the Public Hearing Process. Chairman
Garren presented the Application for Annexation/Zoning "Exhibit A" because Mr. Hansen had
not yet arrived. He explained that Mr. Hansen would like to annex 2.221 acres that abutted Iona
City limits into the City of Iona with an R-1 (Single Family Residential) Zone.
Chairman Garren asked if anyone was in favor, none; neutral, eight; opposed, none.
Susan Johnson of 5665 N 55th East was neutral. She asked how the annexation affects them.
Chairman Garren stated that the application met the current zoning requirements. Ms. Johnson
asked if her taxes would go up. Chairman Garren stated hers would not because she is still in
Bonneville County.
Anita Conley of 5166 N 55 East was neutral. She asked if the annexation would open up the
door for more housing in Mr. Hansen's neighboring 15 acres. Chairman Garren stated that the
2.221 acres was on the table at this time. Ms. Conley stated that this would be a possibility in the
future. Chairman Garren agreed.
Mariellen Drollinger of 5393 N 55th East was neutral. She asked if this would set precedence for
the City of Iona. Her property borders Mr. Hansen's property to the north. Ms. Drollinger asked
if I want to annex my property in are we just going to keep going north. Chairman Garren stated
that they could.
Unnamed Participant asked how this would affect the City's water; we are already rationing
water. Chairman Garren stated, as he understood it, the City has plenty of water but maybe
lacking in the ability to pump it. This could be addressed by adding a second pump or holding
tank.
Jack Edwards of 3005 N Foothill Rd was neutral. He asked how close the property was to the
City. Chairman Garren stated that it abutted to the City. Mr. Edwards thought this would be
beneficial to the nearby homeowners. Chairman Garren stated it benefits both parties; the
homeowner is provided with street maintenance and police protection; the City would receive
property taxes. Mr. Edwards stated that even if Mr. Hansen went through Bonneville County he
would still have to abide by the City of Iona's Code because it is in the City's impact area.
Marnie Dickinson of 5519 E 49th North was neutral. She stated that she owns the property
across from this and it is a bad location anyway because of the well house on the corner. Ms.
Dickinson stated that it seemed like a lot of homes for the area. Chairman Garren explained that
the property is consistent to the R-1 Zone.
Brian Stutzman of 6655 E Lincoln Rd was neutral. He asked if the hearing was about the
plotting of the property or about the annexation of the property. Chairman Garren stated the
hearing is about annexing the property at this time and if approved the plot would be considered
at a later date.
Jack Edwards of 3005 N Foothill Rd was neutral. He asked if the speed limit would change.
Chairman Garren stated the City could extend the 35 mile an hour speed limit.
Terry Drollinger of 5393 N 55th East was neutral. He asked if the development would include
curb and gutter. Chairman Garren explained that the hearing was on annexing the property into
Iona and the development plan would be considered at a later date.
Chairman Garren closed the public portion of the hearing.
Planning & Zoning (P&Z) Member Lovinus stated she didn't see anything wrong with the
annexation application.
P&Z Member Shirling stated the City was looking at expansion.
P&Z Member Hobbs stated the only issue would be the water but that would be the developer's
responsibility. The developer would also have to contend with the Iona Bonneville Sewer
District.
Chairman Garren stated that the application was consistent with Iona's R-1 Zone.
P&Z Member Hobbs motioned to recommend the approval of Jerry Hansen's Application for
Annexation/Zoning located at 49th North and 55th East. P&Z Member Lovinus seconded the
motion. All were in favor, motion carried.
Jerry Hansen Public Hearing — Flag Lot Variance Request for Property Located at 5330
Hansen Ave: Chairman Garren reminded everyone of the Public Hearing Process. Mr. Hansen
presented his Flag Lot Variance Request "Exhibit B", stating that he needed access to the middle
lot behind his property at 5330 Hansen Ave. Council had approved Mr. Hansen's two lot
subdivision February 18, 2014. One condition of the approval was that Mr. Hansen had to apply
for a Flag Lot Variance because there wasn't reference for access to one lot in Iona's City Code.
Chairman Garren opened the public portion of the hearing. He asked if anyone was in favor,
none; neutral, none; opposed, none. The public portion of the hearing was closed.
Chairman Garren explained that the City was currently drafting a Flag Lot Ordinance (access to
one lot). Planning and Zoning Members required no discussion. Chairman Garren motioned to
recommend approval of Mr. Hansen's Flag Lot Variance Request. Member Shirling seconded
the motion. All were in favor, motion carried.
Verizon Wireless/Greg Larsen Public Hearing — Cellular Facility Variance Request at 5050
E Owens Ave: Chairman Garren reminded everyone of the Public Hearing Process. Jared
White of Verizon Wireless had not arrived yet. Mr. Larsen presented the Verizon Wireless
Cellular Facility Variance Request "Exhibit C. He proposed that Verizon erect a 100' Cell
Tower on his property behind the storage units. P&Z Member Lovinus asked if the tower was
free standing or had guide wires. It was a free standing cell tower.
Chairman Garren opened the public portion of the hearing.
Brian Stutzman of 6655 E Lincoln Rd was in favor. He stated that the area needed a cell service.
He also indicated that the cell tower could be disguised as a pine tree or flag pole and presented
copies to Planning & Zoning.
Gary Styhl of 3473 Main St. was neutral. He stated the area needed service but not necessarily at
this location.
Jerry Hansen of 5609 E Iona Rd was neutral. He attempted to put in a cell tower five or six years
ago but it was denied. Mr. Hansen stated a survey indicated the community wanted a cell tower.
Susan Johnson of 5665 N 55th East was in favor. She can't get reception and saw the need for
the cell tower.
Andrew Hufford of 4953 Camas Creek Circle was neutral. Mr. Hufford asked the exact location
of the cell tower. Mr. Larsen indicated that it would be on a little piece of property located south
of the storage units. Mr. Larsen stated that the base would be hidden from the road and the tower
could be disguised.
Randy Shell of 4965 Camas Creek Circle was opposed. He was strongly against the cell tower
stating that he did not want it in his back yard.
William Wellman of 4954 E Iona Rd was opposed. He stated his property was adjacent to Mr.
Hansen's property and he did not want to hear the humming of the tower.
Andrew Hufford of 4953 Camas Creek Circle thought the tower would decrease the property
values and create an eyesore.
Mary Travis of 4950 Camas Creek Circle was opposed. She stated that Iona was a very homey
community and was strongly opposed to the cell tower. Ms. Travis had seen the tree towers
before and thought they were okay but they were not intended for a community setting.
Donna Pruett of 4966 Camas Creek Circle was opposed. She agreed with Ms. Travis.
John Price of 3327 N Dayton was neutral. He stated he was fine with the tower but not the
location.
Mary Travis of 4950 Camas Creek Circle stated that if the tower was 100' tall, it would be the
first thing people would see when they came into town.
Greg Larsen of 5029 Walker Ave indicated that a flag could be put up to make it look nice.
Jared White of 1894 W 1690 South, Woods Cross, UT, Verizon Representative explained that
Iona is getting service from surrounding areas. Verizon looks at the draw by demand; service off
loads to towers around them. He cited Federal Regulation requiring public utilities. Mr. White
stated that the tower could be as low as 75' but then other services such as AT&T or Sprint
would not be able to connect to the existing tower and would eventually apply for their own cell
tower. He stated that more people in this area are using Verizon but don't want the tower here
they want it somewhere else. Verizon tries to build as few towers as possible by pulling the
signal from other areas.
Chairman Garren asked how large the signal coverage is. Mr. White stated it was twenty miles
but the issue was capacity. He stated the tower serves two purposes; 1) Covers immediate area
and 2) Off loads to other areas.
Andrew Hufford asked if he would let someone build a cell tower in his backyard. Mr. White
indicated that he would. He stated that everyone uses cell phones and tablets.
Chairman Garren redirected the questions. He asked if Verizon had looked at putting a tower on
the foothills. Mr. White stated there was one already there.
Jerry Hansen of 3609 E Iona Rd asked if Verizon new that the property being considered was an
old junk yard and would the ground be stable enough to support the tower. Mr. White indicated
that they always to a geotechnical test and the towers are built to withstand 125 mile an hour
winds with 4" of ice for five seconds. Mr. Hansen asked how big the foundation was going to
be. Mr. White stated it varies depending on the testing; anywhere from 12' to 30' deep.
JoAnn Hansen was opposed. She did not like the location.
William Wellman of 4954 E Iona Rd did not have an issue with dropped calls so didn't see the
need for an additional tower.
P&Z Member Lovinus asked if the tower could be located somewhere else.
John Price of 3327 N Dayton stated that with a 20 mile radius he didn't see how moving the
tower 1/4 of a mile would affect the capacity. Mr. White stated that by moving the radius the
tower would only be 60% effective. Federal Regulation looks at its entirety and has Verizon
locate them. Mr. Price asked that a 1/4 mile cuts your capacity by 40%. Mr. White stated, yes, it
did.
Randy Shell of 4965 Camas Creek Circle was having a hard time believing that information.
Chairman Garren closed the pubic portion of the hearing and opened Planning & Zoning's
discussion.
P&Z Member Hobbs stated that in a Commercial Zone there is a 35' height requirement.
Chairman Garren stated that the requirement for a variance request needed to prove hardship. He
couldn't see a hardship in this situation; could see the opportunity. Chairman Garren stated that
this variance did not qualify under Iona's City Code.
P&Z Member Hobbs motioned to recommend to Iona City Council to deny the Verizon/Larsen
Cellular Tower Variance Request with the suggestion of relocation. P&Z Member Shirling
seconded the motion. All were in favor, motion carried.
Water Services Proposal — Blair Simmons: P&Z Member Shirling motioned to move item 5 f
so Mr. Simmons did not have to wait any longer to present his proposal. P&Z Member Lovinus
seconded the motion. All were in favor, motion carried.
Mr. Simmons presented a proposal "Exhibit D" asking for Iona Water Services to his property
located on the corner of Foothill and Iona Rd. He stated that the property would be subdivided
into four lots which he wished to build two homes on now and the other two lots would be for his
kids to build on in the future.
P&Z Member Shirling stated that the deed would need to state City Annexation.
Chairman Garren thought Mr. Simmons might be better off digging a well and suggested
speaking with Iona's Public Works Director, Zech Prouse to see if the City can meet his needs.
Chairman Garren also recommended consulting with the City Engineer to get a good idea of the
costs involved. Chairman Garren didn't see a problem in supporting Mr. Simmons.
Chairman Garren motioned to table the request until Mr. Simmons had time to do further
research. P&Z Member Lovinus seconded the motion. All in favor, motion carried.
Bonneville County Area of Impact Agreement/Area of Expansion: P&Z Member Hobbs met
with the Iona Bonneville Sewer District (IBSD). He stated that IBSD wouldn't acknowledge
Iona's Impact Area Expansion unless Idaho Falls agreed. Member Hobbs stated that he would
attend Idaho Falls Planning & Zoning Meeting on Tuesday, June 3, 2014. Member Shirling
indicated she would attend as well.
Chairman Garren asked if IBSD couldn't service the impact area. Member Hobbs stated that
everyone is trying to expand. He would let everyone know Iona's intent at the meeting. Donna
Bridges of IBSD and Brad Cramer, IBSD Planning & Building Director would be attending the
meeting with him.
Member Hobbs brought an Idaho Falls Map as well as a map showing IBSD's service area in
green and Bonneville County in blue. Member Lovinus asked if we were going to include
Panorama Hill in our expansion area. Member Hobbs indicated we would.
Generic Flag Lot (access to one lot) Ordinance Discussion: Chairman Garren explained that
the Flag Lot Ordinance "Exhibit E" would open up some of the old long, narrow lots for
construction. He stated that Section 11-11-26 as adopted states what the access road should be.
Chairman Garren indicated that the changes would allow the access road to come out of an alley
or a neighbor's driveway. He thought the area would lose a lot of one acre lots with the
proposed ordinance. Chairman Garren stated that if they chose not to recommend the ordinance
that a Flag Lot could be approved by variance. They also had the option of changing the
verbiage; such as having access from a dedicated street through a paved alley. Chairman Garren
stated with the variance they would still have to prove a hardship; profitable or desirable was not
sufficient.
Member Lovinus asked where the water and sewer lines would come in. It was indicated they
would come through the alley. Member Lovinus suggested going with the ordinance as written.
Member Shirling disagreed.
Chairman Garren was still torn in regards to the width of the access road being 20'. He would
still like to see it around 30'. The Flag Lot Ordinance would go to Public Hearing next month.
Reports
Category B Annexation Discussion: Clerk Hammond explained that Attorney Storer was
waiting to hear if there were any changes to the Annexation Plan before proceeding with any
notices.
Future Discussion: Chairman Garren reminded everyone to review the training Member Hobbs
recommended. He also saw the need to address a Cell Tower Ordinance.
Action Items at a Glance:
All Members: 1) Revision of Title 10 — Subdivision Ordinance for June.
Member Hobbs: 1) Attend Idaho Falls Planning & Zoning Meeting on June 3, 2014.

Subject: RE: 2014 Residential Water and Sewer Rate Survey
One point that I probably failed to make clear last night with regards to the variance request for the cell tower. A
variance request needs to meet two criteria to be issued — the first being a demonstrated hardship (which was not
identified in the application or in last night's meeting). The second is that the variance is in the public interest. I don't
think I did a good job stating that based on the impact of the cell tower on property values, the request was not in the
public interest. Certainly it was in the interest of some of our constituents who have Verizon and lack service, but
ultimately it negatively affects ALL our constituents by lowering property values and creating an eyesore. Probably not
appropriate to get that in the minutes from last night as I don't think I clearly stated that. But worth mentioning...

CITY OF IONA PLANNING & ZONING
The following conditions (11-14-2 of the Zoning Ordinance) must be fulfilled before a variance can be
granted by the City Council. Showing that a variance is profitable or desirable for the owner and no
harm will be done to others is not sufficient. Please explain how granting your request conforms to each
of the requirements below.
1. A description of the physical characteristics of the site that causes a hardship.
There are no physical Characteristics of the property that cause a hardship
2. A description of the hardship why applications of the provisions of this zoning ordinance imposes
undue burdens upon the property owner.
Due to the nature of cellular phone coverage and the service it provides the federal government has
enacted laws that prevent local zoning Jurisdictions from prohibiting or effectually prohibiting cellular
facilities as they are considered a form of public utilities. As the city of Iona does not have a provision that
allows for cellular facilities a Variance is the only process available by which to request zoning approval for
this type of project. Verizon is requesting a Variance to first allow a cellular facility in the zone and second
to increase the allowable height in the zone. The zone currently allows for a 30' structure, both the City of
Idaho Falls and Bonneville County which are the nearest jurisdictions with provision for Telecommunication
facilities in their code allow 90' and 100' monopoles to be constructed in a commercial zone. Verizon is
seeking a variance to allow something similar in height.
. Evidence that the hardship was not caused by the owner, or previous owners, through their own
actions.
The hardship caused by the ordinance is not the cause of the owner or previous owner as it is caused by
the ordinance itself having no set of criteria for which a facility can be considered or constructed.
