Ammon Park Center Annexation Ae:reement and Ordinance #359: Mark Andrus addressed the Council
regarding the Council's request for participation in additional infrastructure. They feel that as the City does not have
impact fees in place, and as they are widening John Adams in their development to accommodate the City's needs,
that the additional participation should not be necessary.
Councilmember Anderson made a presentation explaining her position that the development under
consideration at this time, and an annexation of property adjacent to this development to be considered in the future
will increase the need for installation of traffic lights at 17th East and Midway, and 17th East and Ammon Road.
Councilmember Bean motioned to approve the Ammon Park Center Annexation Agreement with the
conditions that the Developer shall pay for the upsizing of the water main within the development, and shall cause
metering station(s) to be placed in the sewer line at the point the development connects to the City's sewer system.
Councilmember Waite seconded. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Bean - Yes, Councilmember Waite - Yes,
Councilmember Thompson - No, Councilmember Anderson - No, Mayor Ard - Yes, as he believes that by
requiring participation in additional infrastructure improvements the developer could choose to develop the property
outside of the City, in which case the City would lose more than it would gain. The motion carried.
