CONSIDER REQUEST TO REMOVE FROM CITY BOUNDARY A TRACT OF LAND
E 1/2. NE 1/4, Section 11.
PWD Smart presented a request from J & D Partnership, Joseph
Becket, Roger Hancock and Ryan Hancock stating they own
property on the east side of 1-15 between Fairgrounds Rd. and
the interstate. The ground is approximately 47 acres. J & D
Partnership request the City of Chubbuck have this ground
removed from the city limits. The reason for their request is
that the City is not able to provide services to the location.

of this land, however, they were not allowed to proceed due
to lack of water pressure. Location of Chubbuck's water tank
does not provide enough flow to service the land.

to the ground.

business of providing water service.
