Cotant, Mayor Date: November 16, 1994 Chubbuck City Council Attn: Steven Smart 5160 Yellowstone Ave. Chubbuck, ID 83202 Dear Sir: My wife and I recently purchased a piece of land with a house on it at 310 Briscoe Road in Chubbuck. The house was in a horrible state of disrepair but we thought, with a little work, we could remodel it. A15er talking with some people in the construction field and with Rex Orgill from the Chubbuck Fire Dept. we decided it would be best to have the house demolished. The house has been demolished and removed to the country landfill. We had hoped to have a foundation and modular home set up in approximately the same location the old house was in. We thought eveD-thing was well planned out and we would have the foundation in before the weather got to cold, but we have come across a snag and we were hoping you could help us. Being from out of town we didn't realize we needed a Conditional Use Permit and that we could only get approved for one by the city council on the first Tuesday of the month. This would set our plans back almost a month and we are worried the cold weather will become a problem. Our friend Don Yowell has been helping us get everything coordinated for our new home. He said, he talked to you about the delay and that you might be able to help us get the foundation approved so we could at least have that done before the snow flies and the weather tums colder. Don said you might be able to get us on the agenda this coming Tuesday, November 22. Anything you could do to help us with this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Chad Bauth
