Chairman Kearns combined the first and second item for public testimony. Steve Smart presented input from the city. There is water and sewer available in commercial way. The public hearing was opened. Steve Wilson, 8480 E. Orchard Road represented Walmart. This was a 15 acre tract on the southeast corner of Bullock street. There would be 16,000 sq feet of building. They had secured the access locations with the state highway department and also secured a signal location. They would be vacating Chubbuck Industrial park-Commercial Way. Mr. Wilson showed a map of the proposed development and showed the representative from Flying J the changes in the easement. The commission reviewed the supplemental report from the city staff. Mr. Wilson agreed to the following: Land Use and Development Commission Page 2 April 2, 1992 RICKERT SUBDIVISION (CONT.D) 1. To dedicate and improve the remainder of Bullock street back to the point that it turns north and enters the Pocatello Industrial Park. 2. Extend and Dedicate Bullock to the east property line of Rickert Subdivision. 3. The right-of-way for Yellowstone Avenue to be widened to 40 feet on the east half. 4. Curb gutter and sidewalk to be installed along Bullock Street. 5. Existing utilities worked out to the satisfaction of city engineer. Mr. Wilson reported that they had been working with the state traffic department concerning the light, but the location is not yet determined. The water being brought in from separate feeds will benefit new business. Gary Cooper, 1495 Fairway, manager of Pocatello Industrial Park was concerned about the entrance onto Bullock Road and wondered where the light would be put. There is a potential problem with the heavy equipment coming and going from Bullock onto Yellowstone. He was in favor of the development. Mr. Wilson told the commission that a light is needed but a location for the light had not yet been determined. They will put the money for the signal into an escrow fund. The state will make the decision where to put the light. Dave Nutting, 4259 Yellowstone, felt the signal would be best for his business if put on Bullock Way. He had no objections to the subdivision. Engineer Smart told the commission that the city cannot regulate the signal; only the state can determine the location. Gary Tishuma, Brigham City, representing the Flying J was not in opposition to the proposal. He claimed to have a right on McDonalds ground the same as Walmart was claiming. He had no documents with him. Mr. Tishuma was concerned about the impact on their development by the vacation of the plat. Land Use and Development Commission Page 3 April 2, 1992 James Loupher, Hurley Lane, asked about the underground irrigation being moved. Mr. Wilson told them it will be maintained. Kent Kearns closed the public hearing; and opened it up to discussion by the Commission. Steve England expressed to those present that the city didn't want to cause a hardship on someone else by vacating this plat. A wider easement will make it the same as that which is vacated.
