It was pOlnted out that there lS to be a public meeting on March 22 regarding the wells drilled by the Bureau of Land ~an- agement along the Snake River in this area and the proposed Lynn Crandall Dam. Councll- man Swensen was asked if he would attend this meeting since Mayor Wehmann cannot go. The Council indicated interest in a suggestion made by Mayor Wehmann that the City have Utah Power & Light Company present information regarding a survey on buildings with substantial heat loss which show up on aerial photos which are to be taken by a special process. Mayor Wehmann informed the Council that Derrald Ricks, who owns property adjoining the I proposed West Ammon Estates subdivision, contacted him about possible future residential development of his land, with the thought in mind of having the Planning and Zoning Commission make a recommendation on location of ditches, bridges, a park, etc. It was mentioned that the engineer for the developer of Mountain Valley Estates is working on the papers for the railroad crossing. Approval was given for the Mayor to make further contact with an applicant for City Engineer/Director of Public Works. d/~_ City Clerk ~-----') .. ...;.-? ~ ~~7~~-~' , r Councilman Lee moved to adjourn; the motion was seconded was adjourned at 10:35 P.M. /r:::. / / / Ma;;"( -"7'" ,:;;/AA_t/1(~,u Claims were approved for payment. by Councilwoman Dille; the meeting CITY OF AMMON April 5, 1978 Minutes of a Special (Public Hearing) Meeting of the Mayor and City Council: The meeting was called to order at 7:35 P.M. by Mayor George Wehmann with the following City Officials present: Mayor George Wehmann Councilman Russell N.

Brunt, 2295 Ross Ave. Scouts: Mike Campbell and Mart Borg The Public Hearing on the proposed annexation of Jennie Jean Estates, described as Parcel 3 in the legal notice, was opened by Mayor Wehmann reviewing the minutes of the Planning and Zoning Commission meetings on Januaxy 17, 1978, and February 21, 1978, and by remarks from Councilman Rowberry to the effect that the comments made by the citizens at the March con- tinuation hearing indicated a feeling of knowing that this annexation would eventually happen but questioning this as being the right time. It was noted that the unanimous voting of the Planning and Zoning Commission was to recommend annexation and that the zoning be RP with Overlay 6 (animal overlay) which, it was explained, is the same use of the land that now exists. Mayor Wehmann referred to the letter which was sent out to all Jennie Jean residents at the request of the Planning and Zoning Commission, and pointed out that the I City Officials had initiated the proposal to annex the area, not as a land grab but be- cause of the great deal of interest being expressed by developers (one of which is a resident of Jennie Jean Estates) to create residential subdivisions to the east and the City's position that access must be available through Wanda Street in order to provide water and sewer services in that direction. He mentioned that, iI annexation takes place, the property would not be on the tax rolls for the City until December, 1979. In general, the comments by the property owners present questioned the benefits they would derive from annexation and expressed the opinion that the majority of the Jennie Jean residents do not want to be annexed but were not in attendance at the meeting because it would do no good since they felt that the City Officials had already made up their minds. The original of the petition objecting to annexation, a copy of which was given to the Planning and Zoning Commission at the first hearing and which contained the signatures of what was claimed to be 98% of the Jennie Jean residents, was presented to the Mayor and Council and is hereby made a part of this record. Some of the specific comments made were that a contact had been made with property owner, Delmar Anderson, and he said that it will be two years or maybe longer before he might develop his land rather than immediately as stated by Harvey , PETITION AGAINST ANNEXATION OF JENNY JEAN ESTATES BY THE CITY OF AMMON We, the undersigned, do hereby notify the Ammon City Council that as residents of Jenny Jean Estates, we do not wish to be annexed to the City of Ammon as proposed.

In response to an inquiry, Attorney Anderson advised that the City has the legal right to annex Jennie Jean Estates by the authority of State Statute. After all interested parties, including the Council members, had been given an opportunity to be heard, Mayor Wehmann stated that it was then the re- sponsibility of the Council to~~ake a aCision~ Councilman"Ro~ber~}moled to proceed with " . om.nB: .t' ~u th ver..Lav b--anlma ove t1.v. D" 1 the annexatlon of Jennle Jean tate~. Tne mo lon was seconQe oy oun llwoman II e; voting was Rowberry, yes; Dille, yes; Swensen; yes; Lee, no; the motion was carried by a 3 to 1 vote. There was a question regarding whether this action eliminates the right to due process, and Attorney Anderson explained that the ordinance that annexes can have its validity attacked if desired. The minutes of the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding the ro osed annexation of Parcel 4 (Fred Kvarfordt, LeMoyne Johnston, Calvin Slater Property were reveiwed. With reference to the statement in these minutes about the need to have this area, located immediately south of 17th Street and between Ammon-Lincoln Road and Jennie Jean Estates, in the City so that the waterline can be extended along 17th Street, there was a question by one of the property owners of why this is necessary, and it was explained that a com- plete grid there will provide the necessary pressure for homes on that part of the system. Mayor Wehmann pointed out the need for the City to plan a street pattern through the area in anticipation of future deve19pment there. Mr. Kvarfordt and the Johnstons expressed objection to being annexed, and Mr. Kvarfordt suggested that, if annexation does take place, the land along Ammon-Lincoln Road should be zoned for aPartments. He also acknow- ledged that he might sell some of his property facing on that street for a church site. Attorney Anderson mentioned that the chain of title on these small farms should be traced to determine if they can be legally annexed. Councilwoman Dille moved to recess the hear- ing on Parcel 4 until the n~~t ~eeti~g, whic0.~ill be April,~9, to give the Attorney time to prepare an opinion on the annexation. The motion was seconded by Councilman Rowberry. Councilman Swensen moved to amend the motion by striking out the date of April 19 and in- serting the date of May 3. The motion to amend was seconded by Councilman Rowberry; the voting was all in favor; motion carried. The voting on the amended motion was all in favor; motion carried; the hearing on Parcel 4 was recessed until May 2. The special public hearing meeting was adjourned at 10:00 P.M. v ~L ~/0//1r a ~ Mayo CITY OF AMMON April 5, 1978 Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mayor and City Council: The meeting was called to order at 10:05 P.M. by Mayor George Wehmann, with the following City Officials present: Mayor George Wehmann Councilman Russell N. Swensen Councilwoman Carol A. Dille Councilman Francis Lee Councilman David Rowberry Others present during the meeting were Clerk Dean Hemingway Attorney W. Joe Anderson Engineer David E. Benton Asst. Engineer Robert Butler Asst. Engineer Brad Nield Asst. Maint. Supv. Gene Simpson Dennis D. Lundberg and John Price. The pledge of allegiance to the flag was conducted by Councilman Swensen; the invocation was offered by Coundilman Lee. The minutes of the Special Meeting on March 15, 1978, were ,"approved as prepared. The minutes of the regular meeting on March 15, 1978, were approved as prepared. Mr. Lundberg explained that hi~ purpose at the meeting was to determine what is necessary to obtain a license to serve liquor by the drink in Ammon, since he is looking into the possibility of building a club for a membership of people who like to play pool and where food and liquor would be served. He noted that a location north of 17th Street in the vicinity of the existing shopping center is being considered. Councilman Swensen mentioned that a preliminary check with Attorney Anderson on the procedure for issuing a liquor li- cense indicates that an ordinance would have to be adopted and there would have to be a vote by the citizens on serving liquor by t~'l~ink in the City, but more time is needed to make a thorough research on this. It wa!7tnat further discussion on this subject should be postponed until the April 19th meeting, and the Mayor and Council members ex- pressed the opinion that, if an election is required, the citizens of Ammon would not approve such a proposal.
