Jerry Masterson - Application for amendment to the General Plan Map; discussion of public hearing comments; Town Council decision as to application. Mayor Outzen reported a public hearing took place on February 11, 2021 in regards to Mr. Masterson's application; several citizens made oral comments and also letters from citizens were read out loud in the hearing. She called for comments and discussion from the town council. David Nielson stated he was not at the meeting but he had read the comments in the February 11, 2021 minute sheet from the meeting; he has concerns about the roads, streets and any subdivision plat and compliance with our land use ordinances; he stated his concern was enough that he did not want to approve the application at this time. Gary Barney stated he agreed with most of the public comments but not all of them; at this time, he did not feel like it is something the majority of the citizens in Central Valley want for their town; because of his concerns and the comments expressed he stated he did not want to approve the application at this time. Kody Winkel stated he does not feel the application is in compliance with the current Central Valley Town General Plan; he did not want to approve the application at this time. Charles Evans stated he was concerned that if the application was approved we would be setting a precedent that would force the town to do the same for other big subdivision projects. Mayor Outzen read the comment from one of the public hearing letters describing why the town fathers zoned the town with small lots along the corridors of town and bigger lots as towards the outside boundaries. Mayor Outzen asked for a motion to approve the application. No motion was offered. Mayor Outzen asked for a motion to deny the application. Gary Barney made a motion to deny the Masterson application to amend the General Plan zoning map. Kody Winkel seconded the motion. David Nielson voted yes; Gary Barney voted yes; Kody Winkel voted yes; Charles Evans abstained from the vote. Motion carried by majority. The Masterson Application to amend the General Plan zoning map was denied. 6. Central Valley Town Culinary Water Ordinance discussion regarding requirements for water meter hookup. Mayor Outzen stated before a water meter is put into place, our present water ordinance requires (1) all impact fees and deposit must be paid in full, (2) building permit must be approved by appropriate town and county building authorites, (3) construction must be started on the permanent residence as evidenced by building permit. Presently, we have a person who has complied with #'s 1 and 2 of the above paragraph, but wants to build a shop in the back of his lot with living quarters to use while he builds his permanent residence. He has obtained a building permit. He is planning on tapping into the neighbor's unused water line that lies under his property. This is in violation of our ordinances. Mayor Outzen made a suggestion or proposal that we look at adding some kind of provision to accommodate this kind of situation where a citizen has in good faith paid all fees and obtained a building permit - which allows them to have an extension of time on when they must start building the permanent residence after water is delivered to their property. After some discussion the council asked to table the matter until next meeting; during the interim Kody Winkel and Charles Evans were given the assignment to write a proposal for change to the ordinance. 7. Temporary use of a storage container by a resident/s while in process of remodeling. Mayor Outzen reported a citizen had called regarding the use of a temporary storage container for the period it takes to remodel the main floor in their home. The council discussed the matter and all stated they felt that would be appropriate for a short term if the container is removed immediately after they are through using it. The council were in agreement that this use should be forwarded to the planning and zoning commission to look at and possibly amend their storage ordinance 3-300 to include the temporary use of a container while in the process of remodeling their home with an agreement of removal date. Gary Barney made a motion to send this issue to planning commission for possible amendment of Land Use Ordinance 3-300. David Nielson seconded the motion. David Nielson voted yes; Gary Barney voted yes; Kody Winkel voted yes and Charles Evans voted yes. Motion carried. Matter to be referred to planning commission for consideration of a possible amendment. 8. Calvin Stewart - Private fence/gate on town right-of-way. Mr. Stewart appeared asking the council if it is possible to require his neighbor, Stan Powell, to remove a gate and fence that is located on the town right-a-way between Mr. Powell and Karen Morrill. He stated the gate/fence is not necessary and has no useful function at this time; Mr. Powell locks the gate unnecessarily causing the land owners (Calvin Stewart and Doug Morrell) to lock and unlock the gate when they want to access their property located behind the gate. David Nielson recommended the town attorney be contacted to see what the town's responsibility would be in this case. Mayor Outzen will contact the attorney and make a report next council meeting. 9. Department concerns and council member reports: Shelley Brown reported the dog licensing clinic was very successful this year. She said the town has licensed 78 dogs as of this date. David Nielson reported the divet in the ashphalt on main street located approximately in front of Mike Brians property needs repair. He talked to Jones & Demille who are overseeing an oiling project in Annabella this spring; they have agreed to having a small portion of ashphalt brought back to Central Valley to fill the divet with asphalt. There would be no cost to Central Town. David will follow up on this in the spring. Kody Winkel reported planning is working on the new ordinance, procedure and application for amendment to general plan and general plan maps. Gary Barney reported INFO West will be used to connect the road shed with Tytan Security next week. Tytan will finish up all installation on our system at that time. Charles Evans reported samples were good again this last month. He stated his concern about the increasing costs of hooking up water meters on the opposite side of the street from the existing water lines. He will make a comparison chart for the council to review next month showing the difference in costs of time, equipment and labor. 12. Adjourment: Charles Evans made a motion to adjourn. Kody Winkel seconded the motion. David Nielson voted yes; Gary Barney voted yes; Kody Winkel voted yes; and Charles Evans voted yes. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned. Next council meeting: Wednesday, March 17, 2021 at 7:30 pm.
