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

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.

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
