PROPOSED CHUBBUCK FIRE DEPARTMENT PERMIT FEE SCHEDULE - (cont.)
FM Merlin Miller stated the Fire Department has not charged on these inspections,
testing, reimbursements in the past.
Councilman Kearns stated he supports the inspection and testing fees, but not fully in
support of the citizens charges.
CC Conlin said the proposed fee increases are more than 5 %, the City is required to
publish the proposed fee schedule and conduct a public hearing prior to the increase of
fees.
Attorney Holmes said he will check on legality of charging more to the non - district
citizens than district citizens.
Council tabled the proposed Fire Department Fee increases until the concerns can be
reviewed and discussed.
ORDINANCE #593 - Annexing certain lands to be included within the boundaries and
jurisdictional limits of the City of Chubbuck, Idaho; specifying the zoning classification
which shall be applied to said lands newly annexed to the City of Chubbuck.

yes; Gunter, yes; Kearns, yes.
Councilman Quick moved to adopt Ordinance #593 as read, Councilman England
seconded. Roll Call Vote: Quick, yes; England, yes; Gunter, yes; Kearns, yes.
MOBILE HOME SNOW LOAD DISCUSSION - Attorney Holmes stated prior to March 26`h,
2002 the Chubbuck Building Department requires a 36 psf roof on all roofs. That was
changed for manufactured homes only to 30 psf on March 26`h, 2002 by the Council.
The Uniform Building Code leaves it to the local Building Official to determine what is
an appropriate snow load for buildings in the area. Prior to March 26`h, 2002, the Building
Department used and had used for probably 25 years a University of Idaho study as its
basis for the snow load rating. This rating applied to both stick built as well as
manufactured homes.

MOBILE HOME SNOW LOAD DISCUSSION - (cont.)
At the March 26"', 2002 Council Meeting, the following concern was presented in a prior
Memo:
"This will make it easier to move older double wides into the City. Under State
Law as mandated by the legislature and adopted by the City, any double wide meeting the
1976 HUD standard can be placed on any residential lot in the City. Mobile home roofs
are rated in 10 psf increments and most of the older homes are built to a 30 psf standard.
Fewer older homes will meet a 36 psf standard. The State now has a procedure to bring a
pre -76 home into line with the 1976 HUD Standard. If the City now goes to a 30psf
rating, it will then be more likely that older homes may be brought up to the HUD
standard and be allowed to be placed on any residential lot in the City. This will be a
major shift in policy to now make it easier to bring these older homes into the City rather
than limit them. The only hold the City then will have is the provision at 18.04.050 (P)
(12) which requires the "design and appearance which is congruent with the predominant
design and appearance of other site buildings in the existing neighborhood ". That
subjective standard is easier to attack successfully than the objective standard of snow
loads.
The Idaho Manufactured Home rules require a minimum of 30 psf roofs but indicate a
higher load may be required in certain areas.
Attorney Holmes stated the Building Department requests the Council reauthorize the 36
psf load for all buildings, including manufactured homes. This will avoid having a
different standard for stick built homes and manufactured homes and will make it less
likely older homes will be moved in which meet the post 1976 HUD Code or have been
rehabilitated under State Law to meet it.
Existing manufactured homes in the City are Grandfathered.
Councilman England moved to rescind the March 26"', 2002 Council decision allowing
the Chubbuck Building Department to use the 30 psf snow load requirement and directs
the Chubbuck Building Department to require a 36 psf snow roof for manufactured
homes, Councilman Quick seconded. All council members voted in favor of motion.
CLAIMS - Computer print -out claims presented to Mayor Cotant and Council.
Councilman Quick moved to approve the computer print -out claims as presented,
Councilman Gunter seconded. All council members voted in favor of motion.
