Agenda
1 B&B Business Park Annexation Hearing located at 650 W. Franklin.
Brent Barrus was present, representing Annexation request. Barrus displayed
vicinity map, pointing out small parcel to the west owned by Stanley's that
did not come in with proposal, which would leave an enclave. He asked for a
variance of the Ordinance for this reason. Barrus stated the property annexed
would relieve fire, police protection and the proposed businesses would create
tax base. They will clean up area; be a asset to the community; build a
building 150 X 150 which would include another business besides Meridian
Glass and Screen.
Brewer stated that he felt this should be zoned Light Industrial and that they
obtain Conditional Use Permits for 150 foot frontage.
Barrus stated he did not object to those conditions.
Williams stated he also felt that the whole Annexation should be zoned Light
Industrial and come in with each plan for the front 150 feet.
Barrus questioned jeopardizing the monument retail business that is there now
and what would happen to the trailer home on Strikwerda property.
Mayor Glaisyer stated there would be Grandfather rights. If there is a change
of title, the trailer home would not be allowed.
Kingsford stated that there should be review of plans for 150 feet front through
Conditional Use.
Barrus stated that the home there, would probably be converted to a business office,
with black top on the area that is covered with weeds and grass now. Black top
would go back to where the old barn is now, which will be the new Meridian Glass
building site.
Water and sewer hookup was discussed.
Sewer stub appears to be on the end of the Boise Cascade property next to
Strikwerda. The water is on Franklin now.
Ward stated that the sewer line would have to be extended through the property.
Welker stated he did not like the enclave (Stanley) and felt the paper work
should be done to annex.
The Motion was made by Brewer and seconded by Kingsford to approve B&B Business
Fark Annexation as Light Industrial with the stipulation that they come back for
Conditional Use Permits on the frontage property 150 feet, design review anal
immediate hookup facilites.
Motion Carried: Williams, yea; Bodine, yea; Kingsford, yea; Brewer, yea.
Strickwerda questioned if they plan to make minor modifications such as putting
a basement under mobile home; would there be any obstacles other than a Building
Permit.
The Mayor stated once they made adjustments to their mobile home, they are
making into a residence, in which case would not be allowed in the City limits.
Schoen, Building Inspector, stated they have to stay like they are.

Buds Broiler transfer of Beer, Wine and Liquor License.
Attorney, Tony '.Park was present, representing Merinco, Ines request to transfer
licenses from Bud Reimer. Park explained by law, they are required to transfer
the license to the name of lessee. He stated that unfortunately the lessee
turned out not to be a good manager. The request now was fora re-transfer. The
State and County had approved the re-transfer. He introduced the new manager,
Ray Harris. He felt the operation would be a good one for the City.
The Mayor asked for comments from the Council.
Brewer commented it was new to him and needed time.
Bodine stated that he does not want any problems and not in favor at this time,
backing Chief Sherwin's report.
Chief Sherwin reported upon the research of applesants of transfer of licenses.
It was his recommendation, based on his research, that the license not be re-
transfered.
There was much discussion concerning this type of establishment.
Park:: stated that the establishment was purchased by Merinco, Inc a - Robert
Keller, in 1977 for $225,000.00; there had been no violation of Liquor Laws
while they operated Bud's Broiler; the Council had approved these same people;
that Bud's Broiler should not be compared with the Alpine Bar in Garden City and
the Hide-away Bar; that it would be extremely unfair to reject the license transfer
back to the previous owners.
Mayor Glaisyer stated that the City's concern is the management and does not
want the strain on the Police Department required of this type of establishment.
Brewer again based his opinion on the City's Chief of Police recommendation.
Bodine was not in favor.
Barbara Keller addressed the Mayor and Council explaining reputation and management
of the Alpine and Hide-away Bars. She attempted to explain circumstances leading
to Chief Sherwin's report. She requested that the Mayor and Council consider her
reputation and the seriousness of obtaining the re-transfer of licenses for Bud's
Broiler.
Attorney Parkc stated that they had very little time to prepare and had not
predicted any problems. There had not been time to respond to the Chief of Police's
findings.
The Motion was made by Bodine to deny re-transfer of Beer, Wine and Licquor License
of Bud's Broiler.
Motion died for lack of a second,
