PUBLIC HEARINGS
:
th
1. Rezone, 17 Street R-1 and C-1 to CC-1:
City Planning Director Ron Folsom presented slides of the requested
annexation, location and vicinity. The property is located west of Trailwood Drive, east of Curlew and the Oakridge
Subdivision. There are actually two separate properties – one running north and south along Trailwood Drive in the
Trailwood Subdivision and the other in the Chambers Subdivision, both north and west of Rex’s.
Joe Groberg, 1269 Homer Avenue, Idaho Falls, ID showed the land that they own.
Casey Dennert from Benton Engineering, 3520 Devonwood stated they have cleaned up the area and the
houses are gone. They would like to clean up the zoning into CC1.
Greg Maeser motioned to recommend approval of the 17th Street Rezone as presented. Richard Jaussi
seconded. All in favor, the motion carried.
th
2. ROW Vacation, 17 Street Circle:
City Planning Director Ron Folsom presented slides of the requested
th
vacation. This property is designated as 17 Street Circle in the Chambers Subdivision.
Joe Groberg, 1269 Homer Avenue, Idaho Falls, ID. they acquired the cul-de-sac and realized that they
could probably make use of it in their plans.
Tom Hunsaker stated that it was planned to abandon it way back when.
th
Jarin Hammer motioned to recommend vacating 17 Street Circle as presented. Bob Gustafson seconded.
All in favor, the motion carried.
3.Title X, Chapter 29, Bonding:
CityPlanning Director Ron Folsom explained why this is being added to Title
X. This will enable the City Council to have a developer bond, in order, to protect the city. Jarin Hammer
questioned if there was another option available in lieu of bond. Ron Folsom said they could put the full
infrastructure in before any building permits are issued. Jarin inquired if this will hurt any development within the
City. Ron stated the developers were involved in the discussions. The City of Idaho Falls places a lien on every lot
and then the City of Idaho Falls has to release it. Tom Hunsaker inquired concerning the 10% mentioned in the
Title. Ron explained that the 10% is a built in factor for inflation, if the City should have to enforce the bond and do
the work. It was inquired whether curb, gutter and sidewalk will be included in this and if we could require
sidewalks to be in prior to the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. Ron explained that we don’t tie the sidewalk
into the certificate of occupancy because the certificate of occupancy of the building code is specific to the building
not to landscaping and sidewalks. Tom Hunsaker made the motion to change Title X Chapter 29 to include bonding
with a few minor grammatical error corrections.. Bob Gustafson seconded. All in favor, the motion carried. Tom
Hunsaker made the motion to not hold a second hearing. Greg Maeser seconded. All in favor, the motion carried.

REPORTS:
City Council – Per Tom Hunsaker nothing occurred on the PUD. The water study for the master plan
is completed but they want to look at the sewer before they approve anything in the PUD area. Ron Folsom
mentioned that they discussed the area of impact and where it should be. The discussion talked about whether it
rd
should be Country Club Road or 73. It looks like the proposal will be jumping Hitt Road and going west at the
Planning & Zoning 10/04/2006 - 2
rd
73 street intersection. Cindy Donovan questioned, if the County will enforce our ordinances, if we take over these
areas into our impact area. Ron Folsom said it is written in our agreement that they will enforce our standards.
