Minutes of a public hearing held by the city council May 16, 1978 at the
city municipal building.
Meeting called to order at 8:05 p.m. by Mayor Cotant.
Present: Mayor John O. Cotant, Jr., Councilmen Boyd L. Fullmer, Dwain A.
Kinghorn, LeRoy S. Quick and Earl L. Romriell, Attorney Donald L.
Burnett, Engineer Steven M. Smart and City Clerk Vera C. Armstrong.
The public hearing being held on the following items:
1. Adoption of a comprehensive plan for the City, as required by the
Idaho Local Planning Act of 1975. Such a plan has been prepared, and the
Chubbuck Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended that it be adopted,
with certain changes.
2. Ratification of the establishment, by earlier ordinance, of an "area
of city impact" also required by the Idaho Planning Act of 1975. Such
ratification has been recommended by the Chubbuck Planning and Zoning
Commission.
Mayor and Council went through the comprehensive plan, discussing thoroughly.
PAGE # C 101 - Council discussed the fluorine study. Councilman Fullmer expressed
opposition to having the complete study as part of the comprehensive plan.
Councilman Fullmer thought the study ought to be reason for concern and
study should be made available.
It was discussed at length if the full fluorine study should be kept
in the comprehensive plan or not.
Attorney Burnett said he sees no problem that these studies be maintained
on file rather than be inserted in the comprehensive plan.
PAGE # ¢ 102 -~ Mayor and council discussed the Planning and Zoning Commission's
recommendation to delete all the language in goal #1 after "area of city
impact." Mayor and council agreed with this amendment.
PAGE # D 102 - Number 2 under B Goals - Council discussed to what extent city
should cooperate with establishing bus transportation, and decided to
leave as is.
MAP FOLLOWING PAGE # D 102 - Future street plan of arterial and collector
streets. Council questioned if Hawthorne Rd. north of Chubbuck should be
made an arterial street or not.
Attorney Burnett asked logic of Hawthorne Road being arterial south of
Chubbuck Rd. but not north of Chubbuck Road.
After some discussion, the general feeling was to make Hawthorne Road an
arterial street through the city and area of impact.
Council also considered adding Tyhee Road as an arterial street.
Council considered creating a through street location at Evans Lane from
Hiline Road to Hawthorne because of the bottle neck of Transportation
at the Burnside location.
Councilman Fullmer also suggested that East and West Chubbuck Roads be
arterial from Hiline Road to Hawthorne Road.
DISCLOSURE - Councilman Romriell said he understood the plan required the
governing body to make a disclosure of property owned when comprehensive
plan shows changes in their area. Attorney Burnett advised that it would
be a good point to make these disclosures.
