Henscheid, Margaret McNabb, Sam McNabb attended meeting in representation of
the adjoining property owners and public hearing notice.
Ray Henscheid represented the Roland Hulls and reviewed the problem of the 6~ ft.
in question. The survey Mr. Seaton had taken identifies the proposed Aztec
Park Subdivision as lying approximatgly 6½ ft. west of present fence line dividing
properties,
Mr. ~enscheid informed city that Mr. Seaton has option to purchase on piece of
property that has a different description than description of property to be
annexed. Mr. Henscheid said that if Mr. Seaton would give deed to property
west of present fence line this would be acceptable and Mrs. Hull would agree
to enter into agreement as long as agreeing does not mean she agrees as to
the legal encroachment.
Ru~h Johnson, an adjoining property owner said they had owned the property
adjoining for many years and she had not known of former surveys being different
from fence line. Mrs. Johnson stated Mr. Seaton had said he would agree to the
fence line as being the legal description of property to be annexed and subdivided.
Mr. Roger Seaton joined the meeting at this time and said he only has an option
to purchase at this time, Mr. Seaton said that he felt if the adjoining property
owners feel they own the property they should absorb the cost of the deed to
the approximately 6½ ft. in question.
Attorney Burnett advised council the city should not annex any disputed property.
Engineer Alder checked the description in the annexation public hearing and in-
formed mayor and council it appears to be less the 6½ ft. in question.
Mayor Cotant stated he felt the city should table the consideration of annexation
until such time as the parties involved are satisfied with disposition of 6½ ft.
in question.

description has been approved by adjoining property owner's legal counsel.

ALTURAS PARK HELL - Engineer Alder told council he didn't feel enough specifics
have been determined in regards to the well to be drilled by Roger Seaton in
the Alturas Park Subdivision. The application shows the proposal of the well
on permit application to be 20 inch casing with depth of 150 feet. Permit
also sho~the capacity of water should be at least 1,000 gpm.
Engineer Alder informed council the city~t~age may not be great enough to
warrant drilling of well at this time. Mr. Alder added that Mr. Seaton had
mentioned to him that if the well is not needed he would be glad to compensate
the city cash instead of well which could be used for park development or water
improvements.
Councilman Romriell moved that the city engineer check with Forsgren, Perkins
& Associates, P.A. and determine if the city has the need for well and if city
should have well drilled or not. Councilman Fullmer seconded motion. Roll
call vote: Fullmer, yes; Kinghorn, no; Romriell, yes; Taylor, no. Vote being

CHUBBUCK PLAZA INDUSTRIAL PARK - Glen Marshall, owner and developer was present to
discuss the 79 ft. access easement to the proposed subdivision. Mr. Marshall
stated the owners do not object to the dedication of the 79 ft. access, however,
they do not want their property in the subdivided property.
Engineer Alder said their property would not need to be included in Mr. Marshall's
subdivision but the access road would need to be a part of the subdivision.
Attorney Burnett asked why the owners would object to the street being dedicated.
Mr. Marshall said they probably wouldn't but he doubted if they would deed the
land for dedication. Mr. Marshallasked if he wouldn't be able to develop his
ground and wait for that portion of access to be developed when owners develop
their property.
Mayor Cotant and council told Mr. Marshall the city will require the street be
developed. Mr. Marshall said if the city desired a dedicated street he would
try to work with the property owners to obtain such dedication.
Attorney Burnett stated the city could agree to a limited acceptance of street
in which city sets forth the right to reserve the requirements for the street
to be developed at time property adjoining is developed.
Attorney Burnett said it would be best for city to hold title to land of access
easement, but tha~ an easement could be dedicated.
Attorney Burnett stated he would be glad to work with Mr. Marshall in providing
an instrument of dedication and limited acceptance of street if Mr. Marshall
would work with property owners to obtain such dedication.
Mr. Marshall asked if city would waive the sidewalk requirement as he was planning
on storage warehousing and trucks driving over sidewalks would cause them
to break up and there shouldn't be any residential foot traffic in area.
Mayor Cotant told Mr. Marshall the city would prefer to wait on any waiver of
requirements and acceptance of final plat until such time as the dedication of
access easement is provided and the Chubbuck Plaza Industrial Park final plat
will be considered February 8th.
SOJOURNER MOTEL - Engineer Alder asked if city would require property proposed for the Sojourner Motel to be subdivided.

ordinance. Council in apparent agreement with no further action taken.
