Public comment (2 minutes please)

None

1- Callister Subdivision update

This land was split into two sections and recorded as a small subdivision with the

county before the town was formed. Since then the town approved moving some

boundaries and creating a 3rd section. The county has requested that we abandon the old

subdivision and create a new one which will require a public hearing. This hearing has

been scheduled for next month (October).

2- Remund- Building permit

Normally this permit would have been handled administratively but it is a large

addition so Epic Engineering decided to bring the permit to the board for approval. The

commissioners looked over the plan designs provided by Ryan Taylor. It is considered

one large addition on three sides of the existing home.

Barry Hobbs moved to approve the Remund addition building permit subject to

the Remunds meeting the conditions outlined in the Epic Engineering staff report

dated September 15, 2009 with Kim Norris seconding. The vote was unanimous and the

motion carried.

3- Public Hearing-Daniel Town Land Use Plan. Recommendation to Town Council

Diane Grose moved to open the public hearing for the Daniel Town Land Use

Plan with Gary Weight seconding. The vote was unanimous.

Scott Binkerd noted a couple of clerical errors on the proposed draft. He also

wondered what is considered affordable housing as stated on page one, paragraph one

under “Intent”. How do you define affordable housing? It was explained to him that this

is a general land use plan, a guideline only. There are codes in place that define what type

of dwelling can be placed in the different zones in our town. Barry agreed that this was a

valid question.

The clerical errors were corrected.

Diane Grose moved to close the public portion of the public hearing on the

Land Use Plan with Barry Hobbs seconding. The vote was unanimous.

Kim Norris moved that we recommend to the Town Council, with the amended

changes made tonight, that they accept the Land Use Plan with Lynn Crisler

seconding. There was discussion with Barry Hobbs asking that the word “accept” be

changed to “adopt”. The motion was amended to read “that we recommend to the

Town Council, with the amended changes made tonight, that they adopt the Land Use

Plan. The second stands, the vote was unanimous and the motion carried.

4- Approval of minutes

Lynn Crisler moved to approve the minutes of August 19, 2009 with Barry

Hobbs seconding. There was discussion with Kim Norris asking “If a member decides

to make a clarification in the minutes how does everyone know of the changes?” It was

explained to him that the secretary makes the changes and then resends the minutes to

all the board members with the changes noted. The vote was unanimous.

5- Administrative issues: Administrative Building permits, water, annexations, etc.

Diane Grose asked Eric to provide an updated copy of the terms of the board

members. He will email a copy to everyone.

Lynn Crisler told the members of the board that he knew of a company from

California that has information on WECS and he is trying to get more information from

them. They make backyard windmills that are small and aesthetically pleasing.

Merry Duggin explained that the water company now officially belongs to the

town. The papers were signed today. They can now move forward with using the funds

acquired to improve the system.
