The pledge of allegiance to the flag. was led by Councilman Swensen, and Council-
man Lee offered the invocation. Minutes of the meeting of November 17, 1976,
were approved as prepared. It was noted for the record that this regular meeting
was originally scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 1, 1976, but was changed to Dec. 2,
1976, due to the lack of a quorum.
In response to an inquiry by John Schumaker, 3240 Southwick Lane, regarding the
storm drainage in his neighborhood which allows water to pond on his property,
it was explained that the City intends to designate funds in the 1977 budget to
remedy this situation.
The preliminary plat of McDonald's Farm, a proposed subdivision to be located
in the County south of 1st Street and east of Ammon-Lincoln Road, was reviewed
again by the Mayor and Council as agreed at the previous meeting. David Benton,
representing the developer, Wayne Wilcox, explained that it is requested that the
Council consider Division #1 of the plat at this time. Mayor Weh:rp.ann expressed
concern with the plan in connection with the one street whioh curves through the
subdivision in such a way that it might invite excessive speed as a cut-through
route from Ammon-Lincoln Road to 1st Street, and there was agreement on the
matter of recommending that this particular street have the same name all the way
rather than being given a new name as it extends on from one of the intersections.
Other than this, the Council members indicated that the street layout was acceptable.
The minutes of the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting of November 16, 1976,
were studied and found to be somewhat confusing in the wording of the recommending
motion and the voting record comments of that body, but it was acknowledged that
a definite objection to the development as far as the density of housing that R-2 zoning
would allow was expressed by the Commission members. Attorney Anderson read
the statute from the Idaho Code, Section 50-1306, which regulates the City's
obligation in reviewing plats which are within one mile of the City, and it was deter-
mined that a decision on the approval or disapproval of the plat is required, while
a recommendation on the zoning may be made if desired before the matter goes
to the County for action. Councilman Lee moved to approve the plat of Division
No.1 of McDonald's Farm and to concur with the recommendation of the Planning
and Zoning Commission as it relates to the zoning which would be that the lots
west and north of Maureen Street be zones R-2,except for Lot 1 Block 1 which is
