R&G
SUBDWISION FINAL PLAT - City Staff report stated the preliminary plat approval
required that an easement for access of up to 50' be located on the south property line of
the development. Since such approval testing has been performed to determine if the
existing mall access, (Breneman Rd.) has been constructed to high enough standards to be
accepted as a city street, it will eliminate the need for the access easement.

the Hawthorne Road frontage, and is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
PWD Smart stated Staff recommends approval of the R & G Final Plat as presented.

between R & G, Price Development, etc. R & G Development Representative said she

DORM FENNER PROPERTY AT 4708 YELLOWSTONE AVE - Charlie Johnson, Dorm
Fenner's Attorney stated Dorm Fenner recently entered into a lease with Kit
Manufactured Homes. Mr. Johnson said over the last 25 years Mr. Fenner has had two
street accesses to the property. Kit Manufacture Homes applied for a license and the
license had been declined because the City is requiring one only access to the property.
Gene Hancock, a realtor was present stating the property is worth a lot more with two
accesses, rather than one access.
Charlie Johnson proposed the City of Chubbuck grant a temporary access permit to Mr.
Fenner so he can continue the use and operation of his business with Kit Manufacturing
being the tenant in the same manner he has in the past, with two accesses until there is
another sale, or change in the use to the parcel.
Attorney Holmes suggested the additional access be tied to the expiration of the Kit Mfg.
lease.
Councilman England moved to grant Dorm Fenner a temporary access for a maximum of
four years, or anytime there is a resale, release or transfer of the property, Councilman
Kearns seconded. All council members present voted in favor of motion. Attorney
Holmes will draft an agreement for review.
