Hall Attorney W. Joe Anderson The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was directed by Councilman Crandall, and the invocation was offered by Mayor Ard. Richard Dare of Mountain River Engineering presented a Bonneville County plat for Hillside Place. The planned unit development is located southwest of the Ammon Cemetery and lies within the City of Ammon Impact Area. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval, and the City Council did not find any problems with the proposed plat. Councilman Maeser moved to approve the plat for Hillside Place and to authorize the Mayor, the City Clerk, and the City Engineer to execute the plat certification for Ammon. The motion was seconded by Councilman Crandall. Roll call vote: Maeser - Yes; Crandall - Yes; Anderson - Yes. The motion carried unanimously. Nie1 and Wayne Johnson, new owners of the property located north and east of the LDS Church near the northwest corner of the intersection of East Sunnyside Road and Crowley Road aka Aimee Ann Estates, requested the City Council to release the development agreement entered into on October 3, 1979, between City of Ammon and Gary and Janet Jensen when the property was originally platted. Johnsons plan to combine lots to make them one acre in size, and they will put in the streets as platted, but all other improvements including water, sewer/septic tanks, curb/gutter, and electricity will be the responsibility of the individual buyer. The Planning and Zoning Commission considered the request at their meeting on December 1, 1992, and they recommended approval of the release. The City Council discussed possible reasons why the City entered into such an agreement in the first place because the development is entirely outside the city limits and is in no way contiguous. The only exp1anation--it was a protective action for the City to make the subdivision compatible in case some time in the future annexation is requested. Further discussion included the need for the Health Department to approve the use of septic tanks, Bonneville County jurisdiction, annexation possibilities, and whether or not the City needs to require some control. Councilman Crandall moved to relinquish the development agreement for Aimee Ann Estates and to refer the plat to Bonneville County for development direction with the request that changes be reviewed by the City of Ammon in accordance with our Impact Agreement. The motion was seconded by Councilman Maeser. Roll call vote: Crandall - Yes; Maeser - Yes; Anderson - Yes. The motion carried unanimously. The Council asked that a copy of the minutes be given to Johnsons. Jack Edwards, 2830 Salmon Street, returned their application for a non-commercial kennel license. The required consent of 75% of persons in possession of premises within 150 feet has been obtained. The differences between Edwards and Bai1eys have been resolved. Councilman Crandall moved to approve the non-commercial kennel license for Jack and Rachanee Edwards, 2830 Salmon Street. The motion was seconded by Councilman Maeser. Roll call vote: Crandall - Yes; Maeser - Yes; Anderson - Yes. The motion carried unanimously.
