Road Issues - Supervisor Nielsen
Supervisor Nielsen discussed the Lake Borem  Right-of-Way with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, he is waiting to hear back from Norm Cambridge with approval of the Right-of-way. 

Planning & Community Development Department – Clayton Chidester.  Zoning Ordinance Change – Dale M. Gines, From Agricultural/Recreational 5 acres to Rural/Residential 1 acre.

Joel Gines and Dale Gines presented a zone change from agricultural/recreational,  5-acre zone to rural residential,  one-acre zone on parcel 00-005-1908, a 5.59-acre parcel.

Joel asks the Commissioners for a zone change for just a .59-acre lot, not what was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission.  Clayton Chidester, the Planning Director said, that=s not what was presented to the Planning & Zoning Commission and this lot would not qualify anyway since the half acre zone requires both culinary water and sewer.

Commissioner Ross asked, what was presented to the Planning & Zoning Commission?  Clayton said, Dale Gines requested a zone change so Joel Gines can purchase the existing home on smaller acreage.  The remaining lots would not meet the current zoning, so the request is to change the zone for the entire parcel. 

Commissioner Ross asked if this existing well would be used to furnish water to any other homes, Joel said no. Clayton then responded that Dale has been informed that prior to a building permit being issued to the remaining lot, a Hanna Water connection would need to be purchased.  Dale has informed the Planning & Zoning Commission that he has purchased one water connection for this existing home, which is now on a well.  The water connection will be coming in the near future.  Commissioner Ross asked Clayton if this proposal meets the criteria for a zone change?  Clayton said yes, the Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed the criteria established in the zoning ordinance and makes a favorable recommendation. 

Motion:    Commissioner Ross motioned to approve the zone change for Dale Gines Commissioner Kappen second, the motion carried.  Roll Call Vote:    All Commissioner Voting Aye
