Council Minutes 9/12/2006 (144) 100 February 17, 1994 CITY OF AMMON February 17, 1994 The meeting was called to order at 7:30 P.M. by Mayor Bruce Ard. The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was led by Mayor Ard with Councilman Loveland offering the invocation. Mayor Ard welcomed everyone in attendance. The following City Officials were present: Mayor C. Bruce Ard Councilman Harvey Crandall Councilman Greg J. Maeser Councilman Steven Loveland Engineer David E. Benton Public Works Director David Wadsworth Fire Chief Cal Smith Deputy Clerk Carol Ragan Absent: Councilman Ira Kimball Hall Others present included: Richard Dare, representing Mountain River Engineering Mary Loutzenhiser Byrle and Glenna Walker, 3460 Ross Avenue, Ammon, Idaho Dick Skidmore, Skidmore Inc. and a total of 18 scouts and leaders Councilman Maeser moved to approve the minutes of February 3, 1994, as written. The motion was seconded by Councilman Crandall. Roll call vote: Maeser - yes, Crandall - yes, Loveland - yes. The motion carried. The first item of business on the agenda was an application for a non-commercial kennel license by Bob Farrow, who resides at 3824 Wanda Street. As Mr. Farrow was not present, no action was taken. The second item of business was the Centennial Ranch Div. No. 1 final plat presented by Richard Dare of Mountain River Engineering. Mr. Dare informed the council that Dick Skidmore was developing this sub-division, which is located on the southwest corner of Crowley Road and First Street. It is just barely within Ammon's impact area. The zone is RMH. It consists of 188 lots with 32 of those located within Division No.1. Utilities are: for water - Falls Water Company; for sewer - Iona Bonneville Sewer District; and for power - Utah Power. The minimum lot size is 80' X 140'. The streets are 50' and 60', but will be paved at 28' with a swale section and a 4' walk section. It is similar to Fox Hollow subdivision except that there will be no concrete on the outside of the pavement edge. There will also be 'no parking' on the right-of-way. Councilman Loveland expressed concern that there is no west side exit until you get to Lots 32 through 36 of Block 1. However it was pointed out that only Division No. 1 is presented for approval at this time. Mayor Ard asked if there was further discussion. There was none, therefore he called for a motion. Councilman Maeser moved to indicate approval of Centennial Ranch Div. No. 1 as proposed and authorize the Mayor to indicate our approval. Councilman Crandall seconded the motion. Roll call vote: Maeser - yes, Crandall - yes, Loveland - yes. The motion carried. Signatures were then affixed to the plat. The third item of business was an expression of concern to Mayor Ard by Valley Care Center in regard to a lack of crosswalks across E. 17th and/or Hitt Road. The main problem seems to be in crossing Hitt Road as there is no designated crosswalk until one reaches the light by Burger King. The barricade located at the northeast section of the 17th/Hitt intersection causes problems in crossing Hitt Road. As a result there is not a good place to cross there. Mayor Ard feels that problem will be addressed along with the development by Cantlon. It was suggested that a crosswalk be painted across the road from Carl Gray Tire Co. to the corner west of Stokes Maket, and then across from that corner to the southwest corner of the intersection. It was agreed that Idaho Falls should be contacted before doing this. The next item of business is notification by Mike Nye of Utah Power of approval of a grant in the amount of $1200 plus equipment and help by Utah Power in moving trees. This is to enhance the walk-path around McCowin Park. Mayor Ard provided this information. Mayor Ard informed the council that John Combo, Chairman of the Idaho Transportation Board, has asked Keith Green, the State Highway Administrator, to look into and evaluate the 95% - 5% issue on the Ammon Road Project. I I I I I I 101 February 17, 1994 Also Mayor Ard informed the council that Cantlon's had a meeting with Idaho Falls on February 8th on proposed accesses onto Hitt Road. Idaho Falls approved three accesses of the four requested. Most of Idaho Falls' City Council was present at that meeting. Mayor Ard spoke with the council afterwards about the possibility of an access for right turns only. The approved accesses are located: one which is located directly across from the northern most mall access, the second and third ones being located further south, with the proposed right turn only access located between the northern most first and second. Idaho Falls did not committ to this, but seem to be considering the possibility if it were to be a right turn only. Cantlon is not very enthusiastic about the idea. However at this time only three accesses are approved. This was the planning commission and they are to meet with the city council on the 24th, however that has now been postponed. Mayor Ard suggested to Eric Davis that he contact Tom Campbell as Mr. Campbell had indicated earlier that he would try to help. Cal Smith reported that the new fire engine ran into difficulties when in Salt Lake~for installation of the new gear to bring the pump up to capacity. He further stated that it would be returned this coming Saturday. Public Works report by Dave Wadsworth included the information that Tom Campbell had come in and paid cash for the damage his son caused to the fence at the swimming pool. He also stated the City had used the plows this past week. Chief Cal Smith stated his concern with the driveway at the Fire Station, asking that the city remembers to plow it in case of emergencies. David agreed. Councilman Loveland informed the council that he had held a meeting with the Tie Breaker Park committee. Some of their requests or goals are: (1) to have a volleyball setup in place with the city putting 36 yards of sand there, (2) wanting a log border, (3) picnic tables, (4) and trees, because those moved from Well 117 had died. Brad Hall has asked Mr. Loveland for the Little League if the city would install some home run fences. Mr. Hall had indicated that there was funds for that, to which Mr. Loveland was informed that the city never receives funds from the Little League. Mayor Ard stated for council information the city only has the girls' softball program and the T-ball for the little boys. Councilman Greg Maeser stated the only thing he has to report is the next Urban Renewal meeting which is set for Tuesday, February 21st. The report by Councilman Crandall included addressing the need for a part time person for office help. To date there has been just a minimal response. Deputy Clerk Carol Ragan updated the council on the condition of the City Clerk, Aleen Jensen. She will be coming into the city office for a few hours a week for a while. Mayor Ard asked if there was any more business. Claims were approved after which Councilman Crandall motioned the meeting be adjourned. Councilman Maeser seconded the motion. The meeting adjourned at 8:10 P.M. Attest: ~~ Caro . Ragan, Del' . y Clerk
