also present were Jim Branson, Rod Parrish, Jack Menard, Allen Martin, Dwain Kinghorn,
members of the zoning commission. Approximate 30 residents and property owners of Chubbuck.
The first item of business was the request by Marshall Bros. to zone the southwest and
northwest corners of Chubbuck Rd. and Hawthorne Rd. neighborhood commercial. The mayor
said Bert Merritt and Chester Loveland owners of the opposite corners requested this not be
zoned commercial. Bert Klein who lives on Hawthorne Rd said he rejected this being zoned
commercial. He pointed out he and many others bought in the area to have country living
away from business areas. Also that there are plenty of other areas along Chubbuck and
YeLlowstone Rds. that should be commercial and developed before this area. He stated
it would be better not to scatter commercial areas out at this time. Jack Landon who lives
in this area also said he was opposed to commercial zoning of the area. Allen Martin
living in this neighborhood expressed himself as against this being commercial. Dwain
Kinghorn said inasmuch as there is no definite plan for Marshall Bros. to build at this
time, and that Bob Grimes had accepted an R-2 zoning on the Boise Cascade property that
he would vote for the property to be zoned F.-2. Jim Brans on ~ Allen Martin also wanted
to zone this R-2. Rod Parrish said that inevitably this would be a commercial area and
had been saved for commercial by developers. A vote of the commission showed 5 for R-2
and 2 for commercial. A motion made by Dennis Leslie to zone this property to R-2. A
second was made by Earl Romriell. A vote of the city board showed all agreed on this.
The next request by Ralph Bistline to zone the 11 acres he owns on Chubbuck and Hi-line
Rds. to R-2T so he could build a mobile home estate. Max Parrish presented several
drawings and explained the intentions of Mr. Bistline in building this mobile home park.
Several owners living in the area expressed themselves as opposed to a trailer park.
Discussion followed about the problem of sewerage especially in this area, also the
shortage of water and the problem of the irrigation waste water. The proposal was made
to make the lots facing Chubbuck Rds. R-2 making them wide enough for home construction
and extending south 100 ft. from the Road right of way and the balance of this parcel of
land R-2T for the purpose of constructing a mobile home park. The zoning commission
voted & to i to zone this as above. Jim Branson voting against. Dennis Leslie proposed
the city council accept this proposed zoning. A vote showed all the city council in favor.
Arthur McOmber wanted to zone the land adjacent to Myrtle's place and 300 feet west of
Yellowstone Highway for a Mobile home park. He was told where he is not the owner of this
land nothing could be accomplished as nothing legally could be done.
Mr. McOmber also asked for zoning all along the freeway so signs could be put up inviting
tourist into Chubbuck. He was asked by Mayor Cotant to get the correct information on
the ruling of erecting signs along the freeway, then we would act on this request.
Meeting adjourned at 10:15 P.M.
