J:\Planning\LUDC\LAND USE SECRETARY\Minutes\Minutes 2018\009.18.18 special mtg..docx 1
Rodney Burch, Public Works Director for the City of Chubbuck. City is a co-applicant because of
property owned by the city in the potential annexation and right-of-ways and easements
associated with the Northgate Interchange.This is a Category A annexation which means it is
voluntary at the sole discretion of the landowners. The city is not seeking any annexation of
property that does not desire to be part of this process. It is largely driven by two components.
The first is that these land owners when and if they develop want to do so to city standards and
be part of the City of Chubbuck. Second is that these parcels want to participate in the tax
increment or TIF District Eligibility Study. Without annexation of item #1, item #2 cannot
happen. Andrew Stoddard has removed his property from this application. Applicants are
seeking from the board a recommendation to City Council for approval.
Mendenhall ask for city staff to comment with additional information. Paul Andrus City
Planning stated this application does qualify in the Comprehensive Plan and the Land Use map
along with City Impact.
Mendenhall opened the public hearing.

development.
Mendenhall closed the public hearing bringing the meeting back to the commission. This is a
recommendation to City Council.

Council
Lavell Rupp 4869 Independence Avenue Chubbuck, ID 83202.The land has been in the family
since 1923 when the grandparents came from New Zealand. For a time with cousins involved
the family owned property on both sides of the interstate. In the past Mayor Steve England
didn't think it was feasible at that time. Mayor Kevin England met Mr. Rupp approx. 3 to 4
months after he was elected. Mayor England suggested waiting. With Northgate Interchange
coming Pocatello staff and Chubbuck staff had been given a tour of the family land by Mr. Rupp.
Rodney called to ask Mr. Rupp to meet and in the meeting with Rodney, Mayor, Devin and
Bridger Rodney asked if he would like to annex. into Chubbuck. Mr. Rupp's answer was where
do I sign and how fast can we get it done. His mom's wishes was for the family property to be in
Chubbuck. Family had no interest being in the City of Pocatello Impact Area. Mr. Rupp was told
by Pocatello that they could not service the Rupp property with sewer unless the Rupp family
spent 4-5 million dollars for a lift station over on Buffalo Creek Road, lift it over to Little
Pocatello Creek Road, in turn put it in a temporary lift station and pump to Olympus Drive.
Chubbuck suggested using gravity flow, having it flow under 1-15 at the cost of$400,000 to
$500,000. Chubbuck has had an engineering firm look at the water situation and the plan would
enhance the water system on the east side of the freeway. The irrigation well on their land is
very pure with a possibility of another water source in the future. Mr. Rupp commented what
they have to offer will only enhance the City of Chubbuck.
No questions from commission.
Mendenhall asked city staff to comment. Andrus stated with annexation in item #1 this will be
possible and will be good for the city. City recommendation in the staff report will still need to
be addressed.
Mendenhall opened the public hearing.
Lyn Yost 13982 North Rio Vista Road, Pocatello, ID 83202. Interest is for land owners to make
their own decisions on what happens with their land. Supports the application.

recommendation to City Council with two recommendations by city staff. That the Future Land
Use Designation Map must be adopted to include the subject property and Annexation
Application for the property west of 1-15 be approved in order to create a border that will be
contiguous to the City of Chubbuck.
Smith appreciates the ability for individual property owner to work together on an agreement.
