All were in favor. Mayor Rockwood met with Dave Bailey from Phase 4 to look at the sound system in the building. Mr. Bailey said the sound system was great. We just need some sound panels and other acoustic improvements. He suggested putting a wanes coat of carpet below the oak trim that is on the wall in the cultural hall and that would help the sound. Mayor Rockwood talked to Ned Sweat and he will cover the panels we already have and maybe later on we can put the carpet on the walls. Proposal for next year's legal services was discussed. Council member Susan Barnes moved to approve the new contract with current City Attorney, Dale Storer. Council member Dave Huntsman seconded. All were in favor. The new contract will start in Oct. 1999. An update on the Community project was discussed. The contractor is doing great! The front steps have been poured and the sidewalk and steps on the south side are done. Valley Glass came and looked at the front door. We really need a new door. The plexiglas in the door is scratched and the seals are not good. The Council agreed to go ahead and get a new door. Guthrie's want to sell shaved ice again in the park during the baseball games. They need electricity. The Council suggested negotiating with them about the cost for the City to provide electricity. The County called Mayor Rockwood and is pushing to get our impact area defined and an agreement made with Bonneville County. Mayor Rockwood got a copy of Ammon's impact area and gave to our Attorney, Dale Storer to look at and give us suggestions. Mayor Rockwood brought up the idea of purchasing a weed eater on wheels to clean the borrow pites. The Council suggested looking into the price of one of the weed eaters on wheels or hiring someone to mow them. A couple of culverts have been replaced in Iona and there is so much water going through them now, that it is flooding and has to be turned down. Mayor Milam would like to have a one day retreat with all elected officials to get together and talk about things with the County. The meeting would be sometime in Oct. The Council is interested in going to it. Mayor Rockwood called Commnet to negotiate a fee. The options are 90 min./mo. and a free flip style phone for $16.99/mo. 175 min./mo. Plus free flip phone for $25.99/mo. Council reports were given: Council member Dee Johnson had been approached by Wanda Lou Belnap about cleaning her borrow pit. Council member Brad Andersen was concerned about the water procedure and if we have a written manual. Mayor Rockwood mentioned that Ross is in the process of writing the information down. Council member Andersen also said that a representative from Idaho Rural Water Association would come and present ideas to the Council on what can be done for well head protection. Council member Andersen will check and see if the representative can come to our next Council meeting. The Park restroom situation was brought up again. This issue will be included in our budget for next year. Also, Roger Andersen doing the building permits was brought up. Nothing has been done yet. Mayor Rockwood mentioned that we need to push hard for the impact area agreement. Council member Dave Huntsman was wondering if Ross had followed up on the citizen with the garbage and vehicles parked on the City right-of-way. Ross has been busy with culverts and hauling dirt for the sidewalk in front of the building, but he will get to this problem soon. Council member Susan Barnes gave an update on the TRPTA meeting. She is working on a newsletter for the City, and Iona Days was discussed. Betty McKinlay, City Clerk read a Thank You note from the Jack Forbush's for the use of the building for their Open House and retirement from the 6-12 convenient store. A few people had mentioned that they would like to be on the committee for the decision of the arena. Council member Brad Andersen moved to adjourn. Time: 10:30 p.m. 6/17/99 Notes from the City of lona Public Hearing on the R-2 Zone Request (6/15/99) for the Kunde property. Aproximately 20 citizens from the community attended the public hearing to provide comment and receive information on the rezone request. Public notice was published in the Post Register and pursuant to state law notices were mailed to all property occupants within 300 feet of the proposed rezone. Notices were also mailed to approximately 20 additional property occupants on Free and Scoresby avenues to notify them of the hearing because of the new street developments that would intersect and/or connect with Scoresby and Free. Mayor Rockwood explained the rezone request to the audience and opened the meeting for public comment. Several citizens expressed concem about the impact of the proposed apartments on the city's street, water and school occupation. Karen Forbush expressed a concern she had about not notifying all the people on the south side of lona as well as all the citizens of lona. Curtis Bateman expressed concem about the apartments attracting undesirable tenets which could lend an increase to crime and devalued property values. Lynden Kunde explained the design and construction of the apartments to help alleviate the concem of crime and property devaluation. Several audience members expressed support of the apartment complex providing Mr. Kunde retained ownership of the properties after they were constructed. Mr. Kunde stated he could not make that kind of commitment but that he does currently own several other properties and at the current time he plans to retain ownership of the new apartments. Council member Dave Huntsman explained the water impact on the community in reference to the new development and stressed water conservation regardless of new construction. The City of lona uses two to three times more water per household than the average household in the U.S.. Huntsman also talked about the development of the new zoning ordinance passed by the council this past April. A lot of time and effort went into the development of the new zoning ordinance to make sure that the City of lona meets all the legal parameters of the Uniform Building Code, the fair housing codes and equal housing opportunities. The City of lona had an old zoning code that did not meet legal parameters and it left the city subject to legal action to gain equal housing and or fair housing. The old lona zoning code prohibited R-2 and manufactured housing and the new code opened up those doors. Huntsman further stated that if the proposal brought before the council for an R-2 zone met all the "meets and bounds" of the lona zoning code and had no negative zoning impacts he would find it difficult to turn it down. Mr. Bateman reiterated his stand on crime and undesirable occupants associated with apartments. He stated in his job as a police officer that he spends most of his time on duty answering complaints at apartment complexes in Idaho Falls. Mr. Bateman stated that his observation of apartment occupants tend to be people that do not take care of property and have a lower class of living standards. An audience member expressed similar concerns and brought up an additional concem of a potential apartment occupant(s) with sexual deviance background living so close to the school. Mrs. Forbush stated that she had talked to many residents about the rezone request and they were opposed to the rezone. She asked the council to take into consideration the number of people that she spoke with. She also expressed a desire to collect a petition in opposition to the rezone and present it to the council. Council member Dave Huntsman brought a question if the audience would accept a town house/twin home concept over an apartment concept. The majority of the audience commented support for a town house concept versus the apartment concept. Mrs. Munns expressed concern for traffic on Denning Ave. and questioned the council as to plans to address the interface of pedestrian/vehicle traffic within the school area. Mr. Bean stated his support for the rezone and complimented the city on the street design to help alleviate traffic patterns on the existing streets. Several audience members expressed support for the R-2 zone. Before they came to the meeting the speakers stated that they were either opposed to or unsure of the rezone in question. A husband and wife that live on Free at the comer of the proposed Dayton/Free intersection expressed support for the zone. After listening to the comments during the public hearing the majority of the audience members were either in support of the rezone to R-2 or ambivalent to the request. Mr. And Mrs. Bateman and Mrs. Forbush were the only audience members noted as strongly opposed to the rezone request at the close of the public hearing. After the public hearing closed Mayor Rockwood informed the audience that a vote on the R-2 zone request would take place later in the meeting agenda and they were welcome to stay and join the council for the balance of the meeting. The council then adjoumed for a few minutes to prepare for a public hearing on a variance request scheduled next on the agenda. The R-2 rezone request was opened for discussion by the council. Council member Dave Huntsman stated the request met all the specifications of the R-2 Zone regulations. The request for an R-2 Zone within the city helps open up equal housing opportunities and a definite need exists for multiple family housing within the community. The placement of the R-2 Zone is similar to placements utilized by Bonneville County, the City of Idaho Falls, Bannock County, the City of Pocatello and many communities in the Salt Lake area. An acceptable practice is to place the R-2 Zone at the beginning of a subdivision to help separate residential zones from commercial zones/high traffic areas. Council member Brad Anderson expressed concems about attracting undesirable residents into the community with the placement of apartments. Anderson stated that many of the people that he talked with were opposed to apartments as well. Council member Susan Bames stated that the city had a definite need for multiple family housing. She has received several inquiries in the past as to the availability of multiple family housing and supported the proposal. Council member Dee Johnson stated support for the proposal Council member Dave Huntsman placed a motion for vote on the request for the R-2 zone in question for the property owned and identified by Lynden Kunde. The motion passed 3 in favor and 1 opposed. INITIALS DATE l.,/ A {, !,, S, 4!)- Que 1.,ff PREPARED BY APPROVED BY LITHO III U.'
