PUBLIC HEARING:
n
An application by Dan Smith, 520 S. 7` Avenue, Pocatello, Idaho, for Smith Subdivision
Preliminary Plat. This property is located at the end of Mingo Lane.
Dan Smith gave a brief history of the family ownership of the property and the proposal
to divide it into four lots of roughly one -third of an acre each. He pointed out an existing
home on the property that would be placed on one of the lots and the three other lots
would be vacant.
Smith responded to the board's questions. The Smith family owns the home on the
property. He said there is an overhead electrical line along the north side. City Staff
discussed the overhead power line and reviewed details from the city code (16.12.050)
regarding the electrical line needing to be underground for service drops. Smith said they
would follow the code.
Smart discussed Mingo Lane as a prescriptive right of way. He said there is not enough
room to create a through street to Garden Park subdivisions and Mingo remains a dead
end. He also said it would be better if new homes and the existing home were both
served off a new waterline. Smith and Smart discussed who would pay for the new
waterline and the necessary easement to be included on the plat. Smart estimated at least
$40 per linear foot for an 8 -inch PVC water line. Chairman Anderson said this item
could be proposed on the plat.
n Smart and the commission discussed the existing fire hydrant.
Chairman Anderson opened the meeting for public comment, and there being none, the
Public Hearing was closed and returned to the commission for comment.
DeLoy Stuart said that, with the water line already on the plat, it was good low density
infill for Mingo Lane traffic.
Deloy Stuart moved the commission recommend the city council approve the application
by Dan Smith for Smith Subdivision with Note 8 regarding overhead power serving new
lots being eliminated from the plat; Ron Horner seconded;
With all commission members understanding the motion, they voted. Roll Call Vote:
James Ebom -Yes; Shawna Elzner -Yes; Ron Horner -Yes; DeLoy Stuart -Yes; Chairman
