CHATTERTON PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PLAT - Doyle Chatterton, owner of Turner Subdivision,
is considering vacating the Turner Subdivision excepting the four lots facing
East Chubbuck Road and re-submitting a new plat to be named the Chatterton Sub-
division.
Engineer John Alder informed council the water and sewer utilities are not shown
on plat. The depth of lots are 80.6 ft., the minimum depth required in subdivision
ordinance is 100 ft. However, the lots have the required square footage.
Planning and Zoning commission have approved waiving the 100 ft. depth requirement.
Engineer Alder informed council that Lynn Street probably should have a cul-de-sac
on the west end of street because of the deep ravine at the western end of street
which would discourage further development and that Doyle Street could be
dead-ended because property to the west will probably be developed later. Engineer
Alder told council subdivision ordinance requires a temporary turning circle but
requirement could be waived.
Councilman Kinghorn moved the council approve the Chatterton Subdivision Preliminary
Plat on same basis as P & Z 1)waiving of 100 ft. depth requirement and 2)sewer
service lines to east property be installed prior to paving of Annette Street,
and that utility drawings be submitted with final plat and all other construction
comply with subdivision ordinance. Councilman Romriell seconded motion. Voting
was unanimous in favor of motion.
WATER ADJUSTMENT REQUEST - Richard Russell, owner of duplexes at 5311 and 5312 Lucky
Avenue was present and asked for an adjustment on the extremely high reading and
water charge during the month of August. Mr. Russell's meters showed a consumption
of 144,800 and 203,140 respectively. His two former months meter readings were
approxamitely 10,000 and 70,000 respectively. Mr. Russell explained to council
that a tenant in one unit had been on vacation and when they returned the
water softner was stopped in the flushing cycle which would account for the
high usage at one unit. Other than a leaking faucet he could not explain the
WATER ADJUSTMENT REQUEST - other high reading. September readings were down to normal again.
Mayor and Council approved to adjust Mr. Russell's water charge of $47.50
to $23.75 and the $59.00 charge to $40.00.
STORAGE OF CARS FOR WRECKER SERVICE - Mayor and Council have invited Dennis Jones
and Marvin Christensen to the meeting to consider a solution to the problem

Commission to consider amending Ordinance to provide a zone for this type of
business. Resolution was read in full by Mayor Cotant. Discussion followed.

HILINE ROAD DEVELOPMENT - Mayor Cotant reviewed the considerations the city has taken in regards to providing for Hiline Road to become a four lane highway.
It was noted it might be ten to fifteen years before a four lane highway
might be constructed.
Councilman Romriell asked if an easement agreement could be negotiated at this
time with Parrishes for the necessary right-of-way.
Max Parrish said one of the reasons they are planning the development is to
resolve the size and borderline of Hiline Road.
Attorney Burnett asked if any engineering had been done on what type and size
of easements will be required for a four lane 80 ft. street. Mr. Burnett also
added the width and borderline of Hiline Road is a chicken and egg problem.
Mayor Cotant informed the Parrishes the Planning and Zoning Commission will
need to determine a recommendation prior to council taking any action.
Rodney presented a Residential-2 Trailer Subdivision plat. All lots front
Hiline Road. Mayor Cotant stated he feint a development with collector streets
would be a better safety factor type of development.
Attorney Burnett recommended the council in their considerations 1) minimize
access with traffic driving out onto Hiline Road and 2)~maXimizing.~distance between
access roads to development and then 3) recommend city adopt zoning which least
obstructs the future development of an 80 ft. street on Hiline Road.
Kent Parrish showed a plan with approximately 200 ft. between access streets.
Mayor Cotant suggested they pursue the plan with the least access and with drive
out streets only. Mayor Cotant stated the council would meet with the Planning
and Zoning Commission to determine when action of some sort can be~.taken on the
property. The Local Land Use Planning Act has requirements that must be met in
regards to land use change.
Parrishes asked if this could be taken up at the next meeting,
