2. Site Plan – Ammon Park Center, 3379 E 17 St:
Ron explained the site plan has changed a little. They
have 12 parking places in excess of the minimum required for retail operations; therefore, parking is not an issue. Dallin
Mortimer, 1645 Woodruff Park, Idaho Falls stated there are 7 units planned. The landscaping will be consistent with
what is in front of Ace Hardware and Walgreens. The width of the road on Market Place will change, so the site plan
will be adjusted somewhat.
Commissioner Richards motioned for approval of the site plan for Ammon Park Center # 4, subject to
technical review by staff. Commissioner Butler seconded the motion. All in favor - the motion passed.

1. Regular Meeting – February 17, 2010 - Comp Plan w Citizen Volunteers:
There was discussion on how
the meeting would be handled with the extra constituents that will be participating.
Wind Mills:
2. Prior to a meeting on windmills, it was recommended by the City Council to have the windmill
people come and talk to them, so we can have a better idea of what we are dealing with. They have given estimates that
savings with a windmill could be up to 70 or 80 percent of the current bill.
REPORTS:
1. City Council Actions:
Ron discussed what happened at the City Council January meetings. Council has
asked that Public Works clear the snow off of sidewalks adjacent to arterial roads.
2. City of Idaho Falls Planning and Zoning Actions:
Commissioner Donovan had no report.
3. Bonneville County Planning and Zoning Actions:
