Changes include but are not limited to: adding a note that Tyhee and Siphon Roads, east of Rio Vista Road, and Rio Vista Road are intended to be 120 foot rights-of-way; and adjusting the location of several collectors, minor arterials, and principal arterials within the City of Chubbuck and its area of city impact. Land Use & Development Commission recommended approval to City Council. Planning and Development Director Devin Hillam presented an amendment to the comprehensive plans functional class road map. Mr. Hillam stated that this would create a 120' right-of-way, and the realignment of Tyhee road. Mr. Hillam also stated that the Northgate interchange has a 120' right-of-way planned. Mr. Hillam stated that these changes would take place with future redevelopment, and that the City doesn't have any plans to make these changes in the near future. Councilmember Lewis wanted to know how this would affect current structures in the 120' right of way. Councilmember Lewis also wanted to know what the process would be for widening the road and the public notice requirements. Mr. Hillam stated that there are current structures in the 120' right of way, some of these structures would need to be removed or demolished with future redevelopment. Mr. Hillam also stated that there would be a land acquisition or development application before this action would occur. Mayor England opened the public hearing for public comment. Niki Taysom 4963 Yellowstone Ave, was opposed. Ms. Taysom was concerned how this and the Northgate project would affect the City. Jim Blaylock 11595 N. Rio Vista, was opposed. Mr. Blaylock wanted to know why 120' right of way was needed, and felt like 60' was sufficient for a road. Mayor England closed the public hearing. Mr. Hillam responded to Mr. Blaylock's question, and stated that the 120' right of way was not needed today, but for future growth and redevelopment. Mr. Hillam also stated that principal arterials are designed to handle the most traffic. This 120' right of away will include a five lane road with a shoulder, a median, and a separated multi use path. Councilmember Hernandez wanted to know how this would affect the City if they didn't do the 120' right of way. Mr. Hillam stated that the current comprehensive plan has a 100' right of way for a five lane road with a shoulder, the 120' right of away would allow the City to accommodate for a separated multi use path for pedestrians. Public Works Director Rodney Burch stated that it's not the City's intent to go tear down the current structures and build this roadway, this will only occurs as an area redevelops. City Attorney Tom Holmes stated that the courts have said if a City is going to plan for the future, it better have a plan in place. Mr. Holmes also stated that this will allow the City to make sure that development doesn't occur in the right of way within the City limits. GENERAL BUSINESS: 1.
