Albers, 10250 Oakshire Drive, Carmel, California for a review of a preliminary plat of Tyhee Estates, a subdivision located north of Tyhee Road, between Moonglow and Hiline Roads. At last council meeting, Council tabled the Tyhee Estates Preliminary Plat until they had a chance to discuss with Bannock County Commissioners, a possible sewer district, being created Jn the area. Mayor Cotant stated he would like to see what is going to happen with discussions about sewer district in the area, prior to a decision being made. R. A. Albers, 10250 Oakshire Drive, Carmel, California stated he received this property in a bankruptcy settlement, the 80 acres involved here, is his lives work.

Mr. Albers said he has invested time, effort and money in the project. Mr. Albers said he has been to all the planning agencies, they all approved, and feels the application should be approved by the C~ty of Chubbuck. Mr. Albers felt most of the problems with the septic tanks in the area are related to residents not following proper maintenance procedure. Mr. Albers said he had the area properly tested by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service and the State Health 133 TYHEE ESTATES PRELIHZNARY PLAT - (cont.) Department, the conclusions were the soils in the area are acceptable, the department gave their approval to install individual sewer systems in the subdivision. Mr. AlDers stated it would be too costly to tie into the City sewer system, the cost of hooking to the City sewer system will make the lots unaffordab]e. Mr. Albers said he will size the septic tanks to the worse possible scenario. Mr. AlDers said, if the Council denies the application, the decision will break him financially. Richard Nelson, 13032 Hoonglow Lane said a lot of the residents in the area put too small of septic systems in when they installed them, Mr. Nelson said, these are the residents that are having problems. Mr. Ne]son spoke in favor of the Tyhee Subdivision Preliminary Plat approval. Mr. Nelson stated, if the right size septic system is installed and proper maintenance performed on the system, there should be no proD]em with the failing of the systems. Gene Hancock, Gate City Real Estate said there is a demand for this type of ranch style home at this time. Mr. Hancock discussed several questionnaires sent to residents in the area. Mr, Hancock said most residents were very positive about the septic systems installed. Steve Pew, District Health Department said the main issue of concern on the preliminary plat Js the soils issue, are they acceptable for subsurface sewage disposal. Mr. Pew said the District Health Department approved the soil for subsurface sewage disposal. Mr. Pew said the Health Department will require all drain fills, be sized larger than they normally would be. There will be no driveways over the drain fill. Mr. Pew said there are other issues that need to be addressed before the prellminary plat is approved by District Health Department: 1. Will not allow flood irrigation over a drain fill. 2. Solid waste issue - District Health Department wants a letter from the County stating the residents sanitation in the subdivision can be handled. 3. Cost study on the extension of the City sewer to the subdivisfion, compared to the cost of ~nstalling septic systems. Mr. Nelson suggested the sewer be installed to come out the side of the home. Installing it this way will help hooking onto the City sewer line, when, and if, the City line gets to the subdivision. 135 TYHEE ESTATES PRELZNINARY PLAT - (cont. - Attorney Kline stated Mr. Albers would prefer the preliminary plat not be tabled again, and discussed reasons why.
