Discussion and possible Action Items: Trevor and Nicole Woods came in for a building permit they are waiting on their paper work from the recorder's office to present to the Zoning Commission for that permit. Troy Linton came in with plans to build a garage on the north side of his home, it will be partially buried, it will have a slab roof and designed to hold a carport on top and is designed to hold the weight. Veryl has approved the plans and P&Z does not see any issue with it. Troy is building the bottom part of the structure at the present time as the first phase. Lynn said Planning and Zoning would like to make recommendations to issue a building permit for Troy Linton to build a concrete garage to attach to his existing home at 390 E 300 N. Councilmember Jeffrey Hearty made a motion to issue a building permit to Troy Linton to build a concrete garage attached to his existing home, Councilmember Molli Graham made a second to that motion. The motion carried. (2nd Motion) Kert Stevens came in with a lot purchase question, letting the council know he is going to build a home across from Cody Adams to the east in the High Meadows Subdivision. Stevens wants to buy the lot connected to the lot he has purchased and wondered if there were issue with that. Ingram said Planning & Zoning could not see any issues; Stevens will be taking two half acre lots and making it into a one acre lot. The councilmembers were okay with it. Ingram said after thinking about it, there was one issue he had and that is Stevens not being a part of the developer/development; in the future he may be required to build a road or help finance a road in that area. Lynn said Stevens is well aware of that issue. Ingram said they will wait until Stevens completes his paperwork to continue with the purchase of that lot.
