PUBLIC HEARING ITEM:
1. A PROPOSAL TO CONSIDER CHANGES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN, OF THE CITY OF CHUBBUCK, WITH RESPECT TO PLANNED
street improvements by adding an additional functional
classification, "principal arterial" and to set minimum
right-of-way requirements for each of the four classifications.
Steven Smart said the City Council had been discussing the
street widths. He said there are two or three developments
on East and West Chubbuck Road that have caused concern to
the council, as Chubbuck Road i~ an arterial street and
requires 80 foot right-of-way in the Comprehensive Plan. He
said council feels a 66 foot right-of-way would serve
Chubbuck Road.
He said by adding the classification "principal arterial" to
the Comprehensive Plan and making Yellowstone Avenue this
classification, rather than "arterial", Then reduce all
other arterial streets to "minor arterial" with less right-
of-way, which he would recommend to be 66 feet. He said
he would recommend Chubbuck Road to be a "minor arterial"
the full length~.
Pete Anderson said he was concerned about the traffic between
the Railroad tracks and Hawthorne Road on Chubbuck Road,
especially traffic coming down from the 5ench area, he
was concerned about the street being only 66 feet, he felt
as this area develops commercially wider streets might
be necessary, he said he felt the 66 foot width would
be sufficient from Hawthorne to Rio Vista. He al§o asked
about Hiline Road, said he understood Pocatello wanted to
turn it into a major north, south route.
Steve Smart said Hiline was classified as an arterial road,
with 80 foot right-of-way. The Comprehensive Plan calls
