feet along East 17th Street and about 300 feet along Ammon Road. They plan to
build a gas station/ convenience store on the corner. There are two problems
which restrict their p1ans--the property is zoned RSC-1 which requires unit
development and the allowed curb cuts established when the property was annexed

fire. The programs of both community Fire Departments were discussed. Fire
Chief Henry Crumb stated that Ammon has a written mutual aid agreement with
Jefferson Central Fire District and an oral agreement with Shelley. Chief Crumb,
Assistant Chief Smith, and the City Council voiced the opinion that a mutual
aid agreement between Ammon and Dcon would be beneficial. The agreement should
include a joint training program. Attorney Anderson agreed to draft an
agreement for consideration at the next Council meeting.
