This agenda item has been tabled at two previous meetings. Mr. Kurtz said he did not desire to give the eight foot of property along East Chubbuck Road, but that the cost of filing a new plat would also be costly. Mayor Cotant said he would like to see curb, gutter and sidewalk installed completely around his lot and subdivision in lieu of the dedication of eight foot right-of-way along East Chubbuck Road. The question was brought up of how wide East Chubbuck Road right-of- way presently is. Engineer Smart was asked to measure the present right- of-way. Councilman Romriell moved to table this agenda item until city has the opportunity to measure the street. Councilman Quick seconded motion, all councilmembers voted in favor. NORTHSIDE PLAZA INC., SECOND PHASE - PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED on submission of preliminary plat for approval and as to consideration of zoning class- ification(s) to be adopted if such lands are annexed. Mayor Cotant reviewed some of the requirements he felt the City should have concerning the development; 1) Seven foot right-of-way and sidewalk along Yellowstone, 2) Extension of twelve (12) inch water line north through subdivision, 3) A six inch wateNeline to be taken to Yellowsone by developers, so that a water tie-in caH made across Yellowstone into the Paradise Acres Subdivision, 4) City desiring subdivision to extend to Tyhee Road and water line to be installed in Tyhee Road. Mr. Marshall said from an investment, economic and better planning standpoint, they do not plan to go to Tyhee Road at this time, there being no need to disrupt the farming base and bring them into City limits at the present time. 45 NORTHSIDE PLAZA INC., SECOND PHASE - PUBLIC HEARING continued - Councilman Romriell stated he felt the city should not approve a preliminary plat until a pre-annexation agreement is agreed upon, that it is impontant to know what the pre-annexation terms are so city will know whether they should waive curb, gutter, sidewalks on interior of development and waive underground wiring requirements. Mayor Cotant said he felt it important to get Yellowstone widened for turn bays for safety reasons and he feels the city needs to require the installation of sidewalk along Yellowstone at the earliest possible time. Mr. Marshall stated he objected to the expense of curb, gutter and sidewalk without a proper grade. Mayor Cotant said perhaps the Highway Department would set the grade. Mr. Marshall stated he would be agreeable to an agreement on the Second Phase similar to the agreement on the First Phase, which states that at the time the Highway Department or other public entity is prepared to commence the road widening and city has certified to the developers of such in writing, the owner will dedicate to the public the seven foot strip of land along the west side of Northside Plaza Subdivision Plat, Phase 1. A discussion followed as to the developer providing fill along Yellowstone Highway bordering the Northside Plaza Subdivision Phase 1 and Phase 11. Councilman Quick moved to approve the preliminary plat subject to preparation and execution of a pre-annexation agreement on terms and conditions acceptable to the city council and subject to fill along Yellowstone being complete to the first intersection north of Siphon Rd. by October 1, 1982, and fill complete to second intersection by October 1, 1983, and to the northern portion of plat by October l, 1984, also that city waive the curb, gutter and sidewalk requirement on the interior streets of subdivision and city waive the requirement of underground power lines, also that city require a six inch water line be installed to Yellowstone on Central Way.

SEWAGE TREATMENT AGREEMENT WITH POCATELLO - Pocatello City Manager Charles Moss and Public Works Director John Postlewait reviewed the present sewage treatment agreement with the Mayor and Council. The City of Pocatello made an increase to their sewage rates last fall and feel the need to amend the treatment agreement passing on the increased cost to the City of Chubbuck. SEWAGE TREATMENT AGREEMENT WITH POCATELLO - cont'd - Pocatello City are proposing a per unit charge on all residential south of 1-86 including the 144 living units at the OxBow Inn. Chubbuck City officials expressed their feelings that the city should pay for treatment south of 1-86, the same as the original agreement, which is per gallonage charge. There is no sewage meter south of 1-86 so the treatment is determined on water usage by meters, however, the city has fifteen homes south of 1-86, only eight have water meters, so a per unit charge was agreed upon in the first amended sewage agreement for residences. The Chubbuck City would like to leave treatment charge as per the last amended agreement which is reporting water meter usage on all commercial and paying treatment on the fifteen residential units on a per unit basis. 47 City Manager Chuck Moss said Pocatello felt they needed to charge Chubbuck a per unit charge on all residential units because they have a law suit pending against them from a resident that claims they are not consistent with their billing, Chubbuck City officials expressed their feeling that an interagency agreement for treatment with the City of Chubbuck should have no relation or bearing on Pocatello's individual sewer service charge to their residents. Councilwoman Hopkins moved to table this agenda item until Chubbuck City Attorney Burnett and Pocatello city attorney has an opportunity to do research on the thoughts presented. Councilman Romriell seconded motion with all councilmembers voting in favor of motion. TERTELING LAND DISCUSSION - Mr. Moss and Mr. Postlewait related to the council that Tertelings have requested disannexation from the City of Chubbuck. The Terteling land consists of a parcel of property east of 1-15 and south of East Chubbuck Road. Chubbuck council told Mr. Moss and Mr. Postlewait they would talk to the Hart family concerning the involvement of the Hart parcel of property that lies south of the Terteling land. AREA OF CITY IMPACT - City Manager Moss questioned the city's impact zone within the area of Pocatello sewage treatment plant. Mr. Moss told the mayor and council that Pocatello would like to see the area of one mile within the treatment plant zoned Industrial. Mr, Moss further added he would like to see the City of Chubbuck and the City of Pocatello come to an agreement as to the zoning of area within one mile of the sewage treatment plant. The suggestion was made that the City of Pocatello and the City of Chubbuck each appoint three council members to meet with Bannock County in regards to the zone within one mile of the treatment plant.
