His home is zoned R1 single family dwelling. Jerry asked if Curtis Larsen was present, he was not his mother was there on his behalf. Curtis could not attend he had a new job and did not want to ask for time off. Roger Gundert asked to speak. Jerry told him he could. Roger is the neighbor in back of Curtis Larsen's house. Roger said that he was very upset that he had to come to the public hearing. He said that he supported the prior homeowner having a rental due to a hardship situation and that as soon as she sold the house the new owner (Curtis Larsen) should not have rented part of his house as an apartment. Roger said he was angry because Curtis has been doing so for the last year and a half, Roger said he told Mr. Larsen that he was not allowed to rent an apartment in his home right after Mr. Larsen bought the home. Mr. Gundert said that if Mr. Larsen was approved that he would take the matter to court. Jerry Hansen explained that Mr. Larsen had the right to ask for a public hearing and that this was the process of going through the hearing. Jerry asked if Mrs. Larsen had any comments. Mrs. Larsen stated that Mr. Larsen had bought the house and then moved to Utah and is now back. Bruce Case asked if Mr. Larsen was living in the house now, Mrs. Larsen said that he was. Bruce Case asked if there was a time that Mr. Larsen had both the basement and the top floor of his house rented at the same time. Mrs. Larsen said there was not, he only rented the basement. Jared asked what the reason was that Mr. Larsen wanted to have an apartment. Mrs. Larsen said that he needed help paying the mortgage. Bruce read the section in Iona's code book to Mrs. Larsen regarding a conditional use permit. Bruce explained that such request would not warrant a hardship. Jared Wight asked how far away from an R2 zone was the home. They looked on the map and saw that the nearest R2 was about '/z mile away. Jared explained again, that a conditional use permit was for specific circumstances like Bruce had read from the code book. Jerry asked if there were any more comments, there were not. Jerry entertained a motion from the commission. Jared Wight made a motion to not approve the request for a conditional use permit on the grounds that it is not a hardship situation. Jerry Hansen seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion carried. Mrs. Larsen was advised to appear before the Iona City Council on July 15, for final review. Public hearing closed at 8:25 p.m. Minutes from last months meeting were reviewed and approved. Jerry returned Brian Stutzman's code book and comprehensive plan book. Julie Carlisle asked about the possibility of purchasing a home on the corner of Rushton Cr. and 41 st. she wanted to turn the home into a bed and breakfast. The home is zoned R1. Bruce explained the terms of a conditional use permit to Mrs. Carlisle. Jared explained that her choices were to qualify for a conditional use permit or try to get the home rezoned. Jared advised Mrs. Carlisle to get the requirements for a conditional use permit from the City office. Bruce advised Mrs. Carlisle to look at the R1 regulations and miscellaneous use regulations and explained that the use needed to fit into the requirements for that zone. Jerry introduced Roy Hobbs to the commission and said that Roy was interested in joining the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Roy said that he had worked with the Cities of Rexburg and Rigby and had worked for Skidmore Construction for 25 years. Jerry reminded the commission of his (Jerry's) retirement.

Motion carried. The approval will go before the City Council for final approval. Robyn gave Brian Stutzman's code book to Roy.

Motion carried. The request will go before the City Council for final approval. Jared said that he would like to see more structure during a public hearing.
