Motion by Richter, second by Kammerer, to approve the December 21, 2004 minutes. All ayes, motion carried. Motion by Kilts, second by Richter to approve the February 8, 2005 agenda.
Darren Bumgarner from Nortwest Iowa Planning was in attendance to offer assistance with a Zoning Map for Primghar. Darren reviewed our current map that he considers a Land Use Map. He advised that a Zoning Map should be the following categories 1) R1, Residential-low density,single family 2) R2, Residential-high density,multi family 3) Commercial 4) Light Manufacturing 5) Heavy Manufacturing 6)Industrial. There shouldn't be things colored coded like churches, golf course, government buildings, etc. Everything should fall under the above categories. The categories should be listed on the Legend of the map, even if we currently don't have anything in the category. Darrell and Roger will review the current map, review the ordinance and classify everything in the above categories and then we will meet again with Darren. He will also include the new 28E Agreement as all agricultural land for the 2 mile radius around Primghar in the Zoning Map.
The attention then focused on the Rental Municipal Code. Darrell pointed out the few changes that were made and discussed the sections in detail with the board members. Kammerer motioned and Kilts second the motion to present the Rental Muncipal Code to the City Council at the March regular meeting. The House Rental Permit, Rental Inspection Report, Rental Checklist, Rental Inspector ID Card and Rental Red Tags were all discussed thoroughly and it was motioned by Richter, second by Kilts to include them with the Rental Municipal Code when presented to The Council.
The Board reviewed the Application and Permit for Signs and it was motioned by Richter, second by Kammerer to approve and have it printed on carbonated paper.
Ann received copies of Sioux County's Zoning permits, applications, & request for variance forms. Darrell would like to review them before the next meeting and propose to use the samples for our 28E Agreement Territory.
Attorney, A.J. "Tony" Stoik sent a letter requesting our zoning requirements for a cellular tower. He has a client that would like to erect antennas and/or towers for a cellular telephone system. He is considering Primghar. Darrell said he spoke to Tony and discussed the protection of the airport and the life flight helicopter flight paths. Tony said he thought the prime place for such an antenna would be on our water tower. Tony will take this information to his client and get back to us if his client is interested in pursuing.

TopZONING COMMISSION May 11, 2005
The Planning & Zoning Commission met on Wednesday, May 11, 2005 at 7:00 PM in city council chambers with Chairman Darrell DeBoom presiding. Board present - Roger Kammerer, Rick Richter, Lee Cooper and Von Kilts were in attendance.
Motion by Richter, second by Cooper to approve Agenda as presented, all ayes, motion carried. Motion by Richter, second by Cooper, to approve the February 8, 2005 minutes. All ayes, motion carried.
Darrell advised the Council is not going to pursue the Rental Housing Code at this time. The Council has decided to devote their efforts to enforcing the Nuisance Abatement portion of the City Ordinance. They will start their focus on abandoned properties. Once they feel this area is under better control, then they will turn their efforts to the rental properties and this code.
Ann advised the permit for signs portion of the zoning ordinance was approved by the Council in November. The actual permit application was supposed to have been drafted by the Bell and didn't get done, so Ann is getting bids from other supply companies. There is a temporary form in the office until it is drafted.
Darrell and Ann advised the Plymouth Life Project will not be building within the city limits. They will be building at their current site, in front of the building they occupy.
Lee did a survey of those living in the two mile radius included in the 28-E Agreement. He suggests they make up a board and will address the County Board of Supervisors with their suggestions. Darrell and Lee will continue their efforts on this project, reviewing all the information Ann obtained from Sioux County.
Darrell advised there were no changes/additions regarding the cellular tower possibility from the February 8, 2005 minutes.
There is a planning and zoning workshop on June 7th in Spencer. Most of the board will attend, Ann will invite the Council and the Board of Adjustment members to also attend. The board also asked Ann to invite the Board of Adjustments to their next regular meeting on the 15th to discuss their responsibilities.
A great deal of time was spent discussing the implementation of a zoning map. Richter and Ann discussed in detail what the zoning map would need to include, versus the land use map they currently use. It was decided that Darrell and Lee will create a zoning map displaying how the city is currently zoned. Then they will also create a map of their recommendations to the Council on how areas should be zoned. Once the map is approved by the Council, Darren Bumgarner with Northwest Iowa Planning and Development will assist in the development of the city's zoning map.
Ann advised Tom Raymond has terminated his position with the Board of Adjustments. The Council will find a replacement for him.
The board has asked that the previous month's minutes and the current meeting's agenda be mailed to them in advance. They also asked that each agenda states all visitors are allowed 5 minutes of discussion time.
The committee scheduled their next meeting for Wednesday, June 15, 2005 at 7:00pm.
Meeting was declared adjourned by Darrell DeBoom at 8:25pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Ann R. Carpenter Secretary, City Planning and Zoning Commission

The board discussed their recent Planning & Zoning workshop in Spencer on the 7th. All agreed it was a very good workshop. P & Z separated from the Board of Adjustments so both areas shared some feedback.
The board went on to discuss that Emily Waund plans to be a member of the Board of Adjustments as a Supervisor, but has to first confirm it will not conflict with her membership on Hartley's Planning & Zoning Board. The Board of Supervisors needs to appoint one member yet to the P & Z Board from the 2 mile radius that makes up the 28E Agreement. Two members also need to be appointed from that same area to the Board of Adjustments.
The board discussed in detail the zoning map that Darrell and Lee are working on. Suggestions by Lee were to add zoning categories for the 28E Agreement, such as RR1. They will start working on the map next week.
Lee gave an update on Mark Wagner's house as well as the garage that Kurt Rodger was going to build. Kurt has decided not to pursue the garage at this time.
The board then discussed the permit for signs. Darrell and Lee will draft a letter to educate the community on the permit for sign processes, referencing the ordinance/code. The application for a permit for signs are processed and at City Hall. Von requested Ann type on the bottem of those forms what code section to reference.
The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, August 10, 2005 at City Hall.
Meeting was declared adjourned by Darrell DeBoom at 8:00 p.m.
