PUBLIC HEARING:
1. An application by Sharon Knudsen, 2595 Hwy 39, American Falls, Idaho for a change of Land
Use District to General Commercial, (C-2); Hawthorne Road, North of 1-86 and south of Redman
Canal. Property is presently zoned, Agricultural, (A).
The commission discussed:
The location of the property and the dividing line of the canal. The zoning of the land
that is not included in the application being agricultural.
Sharon Knudsen, 5295 Highway 39 in American Falls is asking for this to be zoned for future
development if it occurs.
The public hearing was opened for public comment:
Elborn Hewett, 4501 Hawthorne Road, asked about what would happen to the irrigation ditch
and if it would be maintained. He is concerned about dust control and would like it to be written
in to the minutes.
The public hearing was closed and brought back to the commission for a discussion.
The dust control problem deals with construction in the area. This zoning would be a
good buffer zone between commercial and residential.

Sharon Knudsen, 2595 Hwy 39, American Falls, Idaho for a change of Land Use District to
General Commercial (C-2); Hawthorne Road, North of 1-86 and south of Redman Canal property.
