PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER REQUEST FOR ZONING CHANGE OF BART
STODDARD PROPERTY TIME: 7:00 P.M.
PRESENT: Mayor -Craig Rockwood, Council members- Susan Barnes, Cliff Long, Brad
Andersen, Mike Klingler, Clerk -Betty McKinlay
VISITORS: Todd Pratt, Eric Seniff, Barbara & Angie Schreier, Earl, Thomas and Karen
Louk, Michelle Stoddard, Dennis and Linda McArthur, Duane Browning, Paul Cardenas,
Brenda & Justin Klingler came towards the end of the meeting.
A request has been made to change the zoning on a piece of property from R1 residential
single family dwelling to an R2 multi family dwelling. The request is on Bart Stoddard
property. Dennis McArthur is looking at putting a duplex there. A notice was put in the
newspaper and notices to people with adjoining property were sent out. Dennis
McArthur explained his intentions and showed a drawing of the duplex. There are two
issues of concern that Mr. McArthur brought up. One is the concern of density and the
other is precedence of change. People were concerned about the size of the lot. R2 zone
allows smaller lots which create a more dense population. A duplex would require at
least 11,000 square feet for a lot. The lot is close to a third of an acre. Mayor Rockwood
asked the Council if they had any questions. Council member Cliff Long thought what
the Council should do at this point is to read the difference between R1 and R2 Zone.
Mayor Rockwood read the requirements from the Code Book. Public comment and
questions were made. Earl Louk asked if the zone change meant that anyone could put a
duplex anywhere. Mayor Rockwood assured him that it would only pertain to the lot in
question at this time. It would be considered on a case by case bases. Todd Pratt
commented on the duplex behind the school. Paul Cardenas said that he has seen some
nice apartments if they are taken care of. We can not stop change but we can control how
it is done. Mr. McArthur said that he was aware that there are basements in town that are
rented out. He mentioned that he will personally take care of the yard. He hears a lot of
concerns of the way it is going to look. Mr. Cardenas asked what the real concern was;
that we don't want the duplex or don't want the zoning. The zoning is what is in
question. Eric Seniff said it will be a very bad thing for the community. It will be
congested. Paul Cardenas asked if it would change our property taxes. He asked what it
would do to his property. Mayor Rockwood said that taxes are based on the value of the
house and this project would probably have little if any effect. Todd Pratt said the
property value will go down with apartment houses. Paul Cardenas said maybe property
taxes would go up with an apartment house in the community. Duane Browning
discussed building on the alley and opening up the alley. Mayor Rockwood said the City
will not open the allies because they do not allow wide enough right-of-ways. A letter
from Susan Perkins was read. She was not able to attend the meeting. She lives within
300 feet of the lot in discussion. She is in favor of the project. There is concern of pets
running about. Mr. McArthur assured the citizens there would be no pets and the yard
and house would be kept up. Mr. McArthur does not want to see apartments springing up
all over town either. But, he is thinking about the lots that are for sale. There are not that
many. Council member Mike Klingler wanted to know what the appearance of the
apartment would look like. Mr. McArthur explained how it would look. Council
member Brad Andersen asked who was going to be the builder. Mr. McArthur himself
would be the contractor. He is a licensed contractor. He would sub out the electrical,
plumbing etc. Eric Seniff wanted to know the dimensions of the lot. It is 90 by 144. A
R2 Zone allows upto a 4 plex if the lot is large enough. Council member Cliff Long
commented on spot zoning. It is one lot. Mr. McArthur asked if there would be
restrictions on it. The Council could do that. Paul Cardenas asked what a spot zone is.
Mayor Rockwood explained that it is the re -zoning of an individual lot instead of an
entire neighborhood. Council member Brad Andersen asked if there was off street
parking space. It would require two off street spaces. The total width of the unit is 64
feet. The lot is 95 feet wide. Tom Louk is concerned about the precedent the Council
might set if it re -zones this property. It will be hard to allow this zone change and then
deny others in the future. Mr. Louk said that it doesn't matter to him, but he thinks the
Council should consider if someone else wants to do the same thing. Eric Seniff thinks it
will be a hindrance to the City and the Council should think of the future in their
decision. Mayor Rockwood thanked everyone for coming. He said that the City
Government has taken a conscientious effort to try to control the kind of development
that is coming to our area. We know it is coming. We made an effort to update our
zoning codes and ordinances, not to stop growth but to give us a say in the way it is
developed. The Public Hearing was closed at 8:00 p.m. and a ten minute recess followed.

Andersen, Mike Klingler, Clerk Betty McKinlay
VISITORS: Todd Pratt, Eric Seniff, Barbara and Angie Schreier, Michelle Stoddard,
Dennis and Linda McArthur.
Council meeting resumed at 8:10 p.m. The request on the re -zone of the Bart Stoddard
property was discussed. The Council deliberated and made comments. Council member
Susan Barnes was concerned of the precedence. Council member Cliff Long voiced
some of his concerns. Council member Brad Andersen motioned to deny the request to
change from R1 to R2. The motion was seconded by Council member Cliff Long. Roll
call was taken as follows:

Council member Barnes
Council member Long
Council member Andersen
Nay: None
Motioned carried. The re -zone was denied.
Council member Mike Klingler reported on the address change. 23% were in favor and
17% against. 4% came back saying they didn't care. 56% did not respond. It was
suggested to divide up the list of names who did not respond and the council members
call. The mosquitoes were sprayed and they are dead. Yes! Iona will not be packed off.
Island Park wants him to treat their ponds. Mike is not sure he wants to do that.
Council member Brad Andersen attended a conference on drinking water and has some
soft ware that we might be interested in trying for our water bills. Council member Mike
Klingler will look at it. Brad has had some parents approach him about how rough the
baseball field is. Craig mentioned we could give them Band-Aids. Brad has called some
businesses to donate to the Fun Run and someone has already asked them. It might be a
scam.
Council member Cliff Long discussed putting 2" pipe fence around the Park. We need to
draw a design. Pipe to cover the ditch was discussed. Gerry Bates will help with the tree
grant. Cliff will contact him.
Council member Susan Barnes discussed Iona Days. Art Association will have their
display in the City building. Paul Hanson will do the T-ball tournament. Dave
Huntsman will do the hamburger stand, Beth Sanderson is doing the Melodrama and it
will run all 4 nights. Denise Hope is doing the Craft booths. Mandy McKinlay is doing

Run is Brad, Lions Club will do the breakfast.
Council member Susan Barnes handed out a booklet from BMPO on economic estimates
The Budget was discussed. We are starting on the preliminaries. Mayor Rockwood
suggested having a work session after Iona Days to discuss some of the projects.
A culvert in the Ashwood Acreas got plugged up and caused flooding over the weekend
and trench settling pulled the water line apart and caved in the sewer line. We are
looking at about $10,000 to fix the damages. Our Attorney, Dale Storer will send a letter
to the person responsible for the damages.
The Fiber Optic Cable is passing through Iona and will tie into the long distance phone
service. They had no permit. Mayor Rockwood explained to the person in charge what
he had to do to get a permit. Attorney, Dale Storer is writing up an agreement.
Council member Susan Barnes mentioned that Eagle Transportation is picking up the
kids here and around Iona and getting great service.
Council member Susan Barnes motioned to adjourn. Time: 10:00 p.m.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
The Honorable Craig Rockwood
Mayor, City of Iona
P. O. Box 487
Iona, ID 83427
Dear Mayor Rockwood:
As requested in your letter of January 25, 2000, the city may begin to expend local funds
as match to a FY2001 ICDBG application to proceed with improvements in your
designated slum and blighted area. As we understand it, those funds are a $25,000 grant
from the Community Hospital Corporation, $30,000 in donations from Utah Power and
Light, H & K and other entities, $70,000 in city cash and $150,000 from the Idaho
Department of Transportation (to be awarded in 2002).
All funds expended for match prior to the application submittal must be related to the
improvement of the slum and blighted area. Records must be kept on how the funds were
spent, and these records submitted with the application.
This match approval letter is effective for a grant application to be submitted in
November 2000. If an application is not submitted at that time, we will review the funds
spent to date in the slum and blighted area and determine if those expenditures can
continue to be counted as match to a future block grant. Please call Dianna Clough or me
if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
