Cotant, Jr., Councilmembers Leroy S. Quick, Steven M. England, David A. LanSon, Dwain A. Kinghorn, Attorney Thomas J. Holmes, Public Works Director Steven M. Smart and City Clerk Ron C. Conlin. Meeting was called to order at 7:29 p.m. by Mayor Cotant. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - Mayor Cotant asked for additions or corrections to the minutes of January 10, 1989. Councilman Kinghorn moved to approve the minutes of January 10, 1989 as read. Councilman Quick seconded. All councilmembers voted in favor of motion. WAIVER OF PLATTING - Sanaye Okamura, 107 Turaco, Pocatello, Idaho has applied for a waiver of platting for property located at the S.E. Corner of Yellowstone Ave. & Siphon Road. Public Works Director Steve Smart prepared for Mayor Cotant and Council criteria for the issuance of a Waiver of Platting. Public Works Director Smart stated the proposed development triggers the Land Development Ordinance. Platting is a part of this ordinance but it can be waived if adequate consideration is given to the following issues. 1) Siphon Road Right-of-Way - The adjoining portion of Siphon Road has been previously platted for a total right-of-way width of 80 feet. Northside Plaza Industrial Park has dedicate 40 feet on the north side of the section line for it share of the street. Public Works Director Smart stated that in 1984, the city changed the right-of-way requirements for Siphon Rd. from 80 feet to 66 feet. Steve suggested Mrs. Okamura dedicate 33 feet and sometime in the future, consider reducing the right a-way requirement on the north side to 33 feet. 2) Public Works Director Smart said that even thought, the property to the north was developed without curb, gutter and sidewalk, for a good reason, that curb, gutter and sidewalk be required of Mrs. Okamura in this commercial area. 3) Yellowstone Ave. Right-of-way fronts this property, Yellowston~ Ave. is a Federal-Aid Primary route and is under control of the Idaho Transportation Department. Any kind of right-of-way here, the owners have to be compensated or waive the right to compensation. The city can however, require that the develo ment set back an appropriate distance to accomodate future expansion of Yellowstone Ave. and this should be done. Public Works Director Smart reconmlended Okamura set back far enough to provide the 80 foot right-a-way. 11 WAIVER OF PLATTING - (Cont.) If any proposed development chooses to locate near Yellowstone Ave., it should pipe and cover the drainage ditch for the length of the development frontage. Steve said he felt a development may try to avoid this cost by either asking for a waiver of the requirement or by locating the building further to the east, and a waiver should not be granted. However, if they desire to locate the building further to the east, it should be done in such a way as to leave a viable, developeable site adjacent to Yellowstone Ave. 5) Mayor Cotant expressed concern of the turning radius of the trucks turning from Yellowstone Ave. Steve said a longer rad- ius can be required by the Council. Councilman Kinghorn expr~ssedconcern that, the ~ground is 450' x 1500' east-west, they need 450', if they choose their own parcel from that, then they might come to the center of the total parcel, then if the remaining piece of ground is ever developed, there is need for an access~to Siphon Road. Council felt that the street coming from Marshall's property should connect with this access. If the proposed development located close to Yellowstone Ave., there would not be a problem requiring the street at this time. Mayor Cotant suggested that Okamura draw out a plat, (even thought it is not filed~ for our records. The next proposal should be re- quired to be platted. Mayor Cotant stated, at this time we should control where the building is located. Mr. Wendel Bigham, Brennan Construction was present, ~Mr. Bigham said the applicants he knows of that hold options on the land, are planning the proposal to front Yellowstone Ave. and will proceed down Siphon Rd. approx. 650'. The remaining portion of the land is speculation on their part, no specific intended use. The other t~o applicants are only optioning enough land to build the proposal on, but they will also have the frontage on Y~llowstone Ave. Councilman Kinghorn moved to approve the Waiver of Platting to Sanaye Okaruma, 107 Turaco, Pocatello for property located on the S.E. corner of Yellowstone Ave. & Siphon Road, subject to the follow- ing conditions: 1. It will be required to dedicate the south half of Siphon Rd. right-of-way to ~a width of thirty-three feet south of the north line of Section 3 along the development's frontage. 2. It will be required to improve the south half of Siphon Rd. to Chubbuck City standards which are: curb, gutter and side- walk as well as widening the pavement from it existing shoulder to the new gutter. 3. It will be required to set back from Yellowstone Ave., a distance such that Yellowstone Ave. could be improved to current standards, (which require approx, seven more feet of right-of-way~, without causing damage to any permanent part 13 WAIVER OF PLATTING - (Cont.) of the building or ancillary facilities. Curb, gutter sidewalk, and widening pavement will also be required to City and State standards. 4. The development will be required to l~cate on the property in such a way as to satisfy these two requirements; a. If it does not immediately adjoin Yellowstone Ave., it must be located sufficiently far enough east of Yellow- stone Ave. (approx. 300 feet) to permit a viable develop- ment that would immediately adjoin Yellowstone Ave. b. The development must also preserve a corridor for future street that would lie approx, midwaybetween the east and west boundaries of the present property. This future street would approx, line up with existing Industry Way across Siphon Rd. 5. An easement set aside to permit drainage of irrigation water from the fields east of development to the drainageway west of the development. Councilman Quick seconded.
