Zoning Request Discussion for HARSB/City Property

 

Paul Klatt discussed the zoning issue with HARSB and City property.  Connie Krueger, City of Hayden, and Brad Marshall, J-U-B Engineering, are working through getting the correct zoning for the facility and property annexation with the City of Hayden completed.  The original 10 acre parcel was originally brought into the City without record of any underlining zoning or special/conditional use permit; however, use exists and there are some inherent rights and expectations.  We now need to discuss the additional 10 acres purchased, the current purchase from Jacqout and the City of Hayden’s 10 acre parcel to the south. Connie Krueger’s recommendation is that all the parcels be zoned light industrial and zoned properly for the Treatment Plant, Reuse Farm and Biosolids Farming that is anticipated to occur on this property.  The Board told Ken Windram that they were in favor of moving forward with getting the property properly zoned.

 

Moved to adjourn meeting by Stefan Chatwin, and seconded by Kenneth Sewell, at 3:49 p.m... Motion carried.
