APPROVAL OF MINUTES August 2, 2006.

 

Board Member Howell moved to approve the minutes August 16, 2006. Board Member Jensen seconded the motion.  Motion Carried. Unanimous decision of the Commission present.

 

 

 

 

DISCUSSION AND/OR APPROVAL ON ZONING AT THE END OF 1ST NORTH FOR DAVE SMITH.

 

Board Member Howell pointed out that the address on the plan was incorrect it should have been 1st North and not 1st South.   Chairman Paluso told the Board Members that in order to request a zone change the owner must go to the neighboring property owners to get their opinion in writing on a zone change and a public hearing must be done before the board could even consider changing the zone.  Currently the zone is R-8000 will not allow storage units.  The zone would have to be changed to a Commercial Zone.  Several adjoining property owners were present and had not been contacted by Mr. Smith. All property owners present were against the storage units on the property.  Some of their concerns are traffic and meth labs in the storage units.   The Board felt that the storage units were not allowed in the zone, so all they could do is deny Mr. Smiths request to build.

 

 

Board Member Howell moved to deny the request to build storage units at the end of 1st North. Board Member Jensen seconded the motion.  Motion Carried. Unanimous decision of the Commission present.

 

 

ADJOURNMENT:

 

There being no further business Board Member Jensen moved to adjourn the meeting.  Board Member Boyack seconded the motion.  Motion carried. Unanimous decision by the commission present to adjourn the meeting.

 

I here by certify that the foregoing represents a true, accurate and complete record of the Helper City Planning and Zoning Commission meeting held on Wednesday, September 20, 2006.
