along 17th Street for professional business buildings, noting that this is adjacent
to the land which was recently zoned to allow the construction of a nursing home,
and plans for multi-unit housing on the other lots. In response to considerable
objection expressed by the people in attendance about the possibility of government
subsidized apartments being built in the addition if the R2 A zoning is approved,
Attorney Franklin Smith, representing a prospective buyer in the subdivision, des-
cribed the standards and guidelines which would be required by the Farmers Home
Administration in order for the dwelling units to be occupied by people who-qualify
for interest-credit rent. Tom Chriswell, Chairman of the Planning and Zoning
Commission, reported that the voting of the Commission members regarding the
Monty Howell plat as proposed resulted in a tie, with 3 in favor and 3 not in favor.
It was noted by the developer that the streets in the addition are to have a 60-foot
right-of-way, that a fence is required along Sand Creek, and that the frontage along
17th Street is planned to be a green area. Comments by the Mayor and City Council
members indicated the feeling that there is a need for some of the requested type
of zoning in the City, and that there is an advantage to annexing this particular
area so that its development can be controlled by the City of Ammon rather than the
City of Idaho Falls which has jurisdiction under the one -mile statute. Councilwoman
Dille moved to approve the annexation of the Monty Howell Addition with zoning of R3A
on Lot 1 Block 1 and Lots land 2 Block 3 and zoning of R2A on the balance of the sub-
division as presented. The motion was seconded by Councilman Lee; voting was
Dille, yes; Lee, no; Swensen, yes; Anderson, no; tie-breaking vote by Mayor Wehmann,
yes; motion carried.
Councilman Lee moved to adjourn; seconded by Councilman Swensen; public
hearing meeting adjourned at 9:45 P. M.

and Council members had met in an executive session from 7:00 to 7:45 P. M.
just prior to the regular meeting.
Lester Ager, who lives on.Romrell Lane between Molen St. and Sunnyside Road,
inquired about getting the remainder of the street in that block paved. He was in-
formed that such improvements would have to be done under a Local Improvement
District, and that the property owners had not been in favor when it was proposed
to include paving and curb and gutter on that street in Local Improvement District
#6 last year, buLit would be kept in mind for the future. A problem with the
grating over the ditch on Romrell Lane was also mentioned by Mr. Ager, and
insJructions were given to the City Maintenance Supervisor to get this fix ed.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Mayor - According to Mayor Wehmann, a letter was sent to the Hatch Investment
Company regarding cleaning up the partially torn-down house on 17th Street,
but the response so far has only resulted in the wood being burned leaving the
brick walls standing which makes a safety hazard, so it may be necessary to
issue a Notice to Remove in accordance with the City ordinance.' Mayor
