C.PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING ITEMS NOT ON AGENDA (3-minute limit)
th
Bobby Romander, 3020 E 17 St, spoke to Council about door-to-door sales in Ammon. Mr.
Romander requested that Council consider changing current code to allow local businesses
ability to conduct business through door-to-door sales without the additional fees. Mr.
Romander explained that local businesses would be more likely to conduct business
appropriately as they had a local reputation to uphold. Council and Staff discussed the current
limitations and costs tied to the licensure.
D.ACTION ITEMS:
1.Administrative Appeal Brogan Creek Driveway (Cindy Donovan, City Planner)
City Planner Cindy Donovan reviewed the request from the Blatters, who were present
to discuss their request. Donovan noted that the request for two additional accesses on
the lot went against City Code and BMPO standards and staff recommended denial.
Richard Blatter, 3546 Boulder Creek Ln, spoke to Council regarding the request. Mr.
Blatter noted that he believed the additional driveways would assist with drainage in
the area with the current swale and flood plan and that the additional space would
prevent on-street parking and vehicles backing into the roadway. City Engineer Bono
noted that the swales in the area were calculated during the platting process and water
retention was specific to those calculations. Council discussed the background of the
Ordinance guiding the decisions and the appeal process. Angalee Blatter added that the
lot being combined and the limitation of on-street parking in the development made
their property unique. Mayor Coletti added that he thought more consideration of the
validity of the Ordinance should be considered at a future work session.
Compliance
- The request is not in compliance with Policy #50-001 BMPO Access Management Plan
Adoption of Policies and Procedures.
- The request is not in compliance with Title 10, Chapter 29, Section 13 (B) 4a
Recommendation

5. The Brogan Creek Subdivision was engineered with swales to allow for one thirty (30)
foot access per lot, these lots each contained a ten (10) foot water channel along the
property lines to facilitate water run-off into the swales. When the lots were combined,
these channels were adjusted to twenty (20) feet to allow for adequate water run-off.

corrections noted.
