PROPOSED SUBDIVIDING OF LAND WITHIN ONE MILE OF CITY LIMITS - Gene Hancock
discussed informally with Mayor and Council subdividing a parcel
of property on the southeast corner of Philbin and West Siphon Road.
Mr. Hancock questioned the council as to the requirement of sub-
dividing if four lots were sold with size of two lots being 8.8 acres
each and two lots being 10.12 acres each, and the possibility of
a 5.4 acres lot being sold or purchased back by original owner.
Attorney Burnett told Mr. Hancock the City Land Development Ordinance
required property to be platted when, l) a parcel of land is sub-
divided into three or more smaller parcels, any one of which is less
than than five acres~ unless such subdivision results from a decree
distributing the estate of a decedent or from the exercise of the
power of eminent domain as defined and authorized in the Idaho Code,
2) Creation of any street to which the general public may have access,
regardless of whether or not such street is intended by the landowner
to be dedicated to the public~ 3) Undertaking a project of construction,
installation or placement of any structure upon land, except for
agricultural purposes, and further excepting the construction, installation
or placement of one single family dwelling on a single parcel of
land.
Councilman Kinghorn told Mr. Hancock it would be necessary for the
5.4 acre lot to go to one or the other lots bordering the 5.4 acre
lot so the parcel would not be left as an island piece of property
without access to same.
Mr. Hancock assured the council that if property owners on the north
did not purchase the lot it would be offered with the 8.8 acre lot
to the south.

CONSIDERATION OF TIME EXTENSION OF FINAL PLAT - Mr. Klane F. Forsgren,
former owner of a parcel of property on the northwest corner of East
Chubbuck Road and Whitaker Road has requested by letter an extension
of time to March 30-to file final plat of K. Subdivision.
The preliminary and final plat were both previously approved by the
Land Use Commission and the City Council.
Mr. and Mrs. Kent Kunz have purchased the piece of property. Mrs,
Kent Kunz and Mr. Dan Kunz were present at meeting, Mrs, Kunz stated
the sales contract included an agreement that Mr. Forsgren would
file the plat. However, they were not aware Mr. Forsgren had asked to
extend the time to file the plat and would like to talk to Mr.
Forsgren before city takes action on this request.
Councilman Romriell moved to table this matter of business until
February 20 council meeting. Councilman Quick seconded motion, vote
was unanimous in favor of motion.
LICENSING OF DOGS - Jane Bird, Animal Control officer, discussed dog
licensing with mayor and council, also issuance of citations without
giving notice. Our present ordinance now covers this, but is not
perfectly clear to police department.
Attorney Burnett reviewed the animal control ordinance and told council
he would write an amendment which would make clear the section to
allow citations to be issued without giving notice.
Mayor and council further discussed raising the dog license fee,
making a discount if licenses are purchased the first sixty days
of each year, making it a misdemeanor to give false information about
whether a dog has been spayed or neutered.
DISANNEXATION CONSIDERATION REQUEST - Bob Hart, 4848 Pleasantview,
owns approximately 50 acres of farmland south of East Chubbuck Road
and West of 1-15 within the city limits. Mr. Hart told council he
would like this farmland disannexed from the city because of the
higher taxes. Mr. Hart also informed council that the family intends
to keep this property classified as farmland for a least fifteen
years.
Mayor and council voiced opinion that the city would have no objections
to disannexing his property.
Councilman Hopkins moved to adjourn until 7:00 p.m., February 3.
Councilman Quick seconded motion. All councilmembers were in favor
and meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m.
