City Administrator Micah Austin explained the purpose of the Groundwater Mitigation Agreement
and its importance to the City of Ammon.
Recommendation:
-Approve agreement as presented.
Summary of Analysis:
1.According to the Final Settlement Agreement with the Surface Water Coalition, the City of
Ammon is required to mitigate its groundwater impacts to avoid curtailment of groundwater
pumping.
2.Since 2018, the City of Ammon has paid the City of Pocatello to lease water owned by the City of
Pocatello in Palisades Reservoir. This agreement requires those portions of water rights to be
retained in the reservoir and/or used for aquifer recharge. This agreement is intended to
accomplish aquifer recharge, thereby satisfying the requirement of the obligations of the Final
Settlement Agreement.
3.To satisfy the Final Settlement Agreement, the City of Ammon must lease 638.3 acre feet from
the City of Pocatello.
4.The total mitigation cost in this agreement is $33,702.24. Last year’s cost was $33,452.44 an
increase of $1,992.24.
5.With all fees included (see attached agreement), the cost is $52.80/acre to lease this volume of
water. The actual rent cost is $25.00/acre, however additional fees add $27.80/acre to the final
cost.
6.Staff has researched other options to satisfy the Final Settlement Agreement. At this time, no
other viable and reasonable options are available.
Financial Impact:
-The total cost for groundwater mitigation for 2024-20254, according to this agreement, is
$33,702.24. This cost will be different in 2026.
-This expense will be charged to the Water Fund.

Public Hearing #2025-013
Rezoning of 4.467 Acres on Greenwillow Lane
Public Comment
We are in favor of the rezoning of the above property to RP-A Residence Zone for single-
family detached homes. These homes need to be restricted so that they comply with similar
restrictions that are identified in the Bridgewater Protective Covenants for the homes adjacent
to the above lot. After all, this lot is connected and apart of the Bridgewater Subdivision
property. The sign at the entrance of Greenwillow Lane next to where the above property is
located identifies the area as the Bridgewater Subdivision.
Other restrictions or comments with respect to the use of the property include the
following:
a. The homes should be restricted to single level homes (with or without basements).
This is to respect the privacy of the neighboring homes. No two story homes!!
b. Lot sizes must be at least 0.300 acres in size.
c. Roads into the area need to meet city standards in order to support city emergency
equipment and snow/trash removal access.
d. Adequate water drainage from the new streets needs to be evaluated to insure that
the proposed system can handle it.
We appreciate that the zoning is being changed to support individual homes and thank
you for your help.
Respectfully:
