COMPLAINT OF SPEEDING - Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Hanners, 5018 Whitaker Road,
was present and told council that there is a tremendous amount of speeding
on Whitaker Road on days that functions are being held at the E1 Cielito,
also that those attending the functions park on sides of street rather
than parking lot in rear of building where parking space is furnished.
Mayor Cotant said maybe the city needs to construct some speed checks,
the kind that are dips or trenches.
Chief Stone told council that it would probably help if the Kunzes would
inform the city when functions are being held.
Councilman Fullmer asked if parking tickets could be given when cars
park on the streets, and also ask the Kunzes to notify police, if possible,
when function is over.
BRIARWOOD MOBILE HOME COURT - Mayor Cotant told Mr. Henderson the reason
they were requested to attend the meeting is because of the fence not
being installed around the mobile home park as yet.
Mr. Boyd Henderson was present and asked the city to reconsider the
requirement that a fence be installed around the court. Mr. Henderson
also made the remark that if they are required to fence the court, they
will need to have some time as they have not been able to develop the
court as rapidly as they had planned.
Mayor Cotant informed Mr. Henderson that the Circle In Trailer Park
had been required to install a screening fence.
A discussion followed, with Mayor Cotant informing Mr. Henderson that
city will need to continue with the requirement of the court being
fenced, however, Mayor Cotant said he felt the city might consider
amending the requirement to a chain link fence only.
Councilman Fullmer moved to table the matter until the next regular
council meeting and during that time, Mr. Henderson will submit to city
the proposal as to the type of fence he intends to erect and also in
the meantime there will be a dedication of the improved portion of
the Whitaker Road street. Councilman Kinghorn seconded motion with
all councilmen voting in favor.

MOBILE MANOR 2nd ADDITION - Max Parrish was invited to council meeting to
discuss the reason the development of Whitaker Road has not been completed
in the Mobile Manor 2nd Addition. Max ?arrish attended meeting as the
Mobile Manor representative.
Attorney Burnett asked Mr. Henderson if he would grant a temporary construction
easement for Mobile Manor to complete the construction of.Whitaker Rd. within
the Mobile Manor 2nd Addition. Mr. Henderson told Attorney Burnett that he
would grant an easement.
Councilman Quick suggested that Mr. Henderson deed the presently finished
Whitaker Road to the city so Mobile Manor could complete their construction
of Whitaker Road.
Attorney Burnett told Mr. Parrish that when Whitaker Road is dedicated, there
would be no reason why they could not finish construction of Whitaker Road
within the Mobile Manor Addition #2.
Mr. Parrish remarked that the reason they had not completed the street was
because of not having the right to use the finished portion of Whitaker
Road on the south to do so and if the street was dedicated to the city
they would complete construction of Whitaker Road within the subdivision.
Councilman Quick moved the council table this matter for review~ in the
meantime when dedication of Whitaker Road is made the Mobile Manor developers
will be notified and then they can complete the portion of Whitaker Road
within the Mobile Manor Subdivision. Councilman Fullmer seconded motion. All
councilmen voted in favor.
SEWER SETTLEMENT - Mayor Cotant asked Mr. Parrish when they were going to pay their water hook-up fees to the city.
A long discussion followed concerning a claim Parrishes have against
Oregon Construction on dirt removed from the Parrish property.
Attorney Burnett told Mr. Parrish the claimant has the responsibility to
prove or substantiate the claim.
Councilman Quick said he felt the city should impose some appropriate
action to require the claims due city be paid.
Mr. Parrish mentioned a storm drainage system at their commercial business
in the 4800 block of Yellowstone had been disturbed at time sewer was
installed and was not repaired properly.
Mr. Kinghorn said the drainage went into the Fort Hall drainage canal and
since that time the drainage canal has been discontinued.
Council decided that an easement should be secured from Mr. Henderson for
sewer maintenance where the main sewer line is installed in Eagle Street and
to Burl ey Drive.
TERTELING LAND COMPANY - Mayor Cotant asked Mr. Marvin Gabert and Mr. Bob Brady,
representatives of Terteling Land Company what their development plans
are for their property. Terteling Land Company owns 47 acres of land which
lies east of 1-15 and south of East Chubbuck Road and have asked that
the City of Chubbuck exclude their property from Chubbuck city limits.
Marvin Gabert, engineer for Terteling Land Company, informed council
that it was their understanding that Chubbuck city does not intend to
furnish water or sewer to their 47 acres and that Pocatello city does
have water and sewer close enough to furnish the necessary water and
sewer utilities

TERTELING LAND COMPANY - cont'd - Mr. Gabert told council that they have
acquired the necessary easements for the utilities to be installed from
Pocatello city. The reason for the de-annexation request is to be able
to acquire utilities for development of their property, however, they
have no definite plans for the development.
Mr. Brady informed council a water pressure booster would be needed to
serve the area water from Chubbuck, power to operate a booster system
could be expensive for the city.
Mr. Brady also told council that if the development of this 47 acres does
not hook onto the Pocatello water system, the reimbursement by water
hook-up fees would not be made to them.
Bot Hart expressed concern about Pocatello city annexing 30 acres which
they own that lies south of the Terteling Land Company property.
Jim Kluesner, Bannock County fairgrounds manager, said he represented
Bannock County and that he :i~ sure~ the county desires that the
fairgrounds remain in the county, iMr. Kluesner also told council that it
iS necessary for the county to improve their sewer system.
Mr. Brady informed council that the economics of development of the
47 acres, whether in Pocatello or Chubbuck is Within $5,000 one way or
the other.
Mr. Brady told council he Was prepared to request an emergency reading
of a de-annexation ordinance this evening. Mr. Brady asked council if the
city does not exclude their property, could the city give them a timetable
as to when they can hook onto the Chubbuck city sewer. City to study.
PROPOSED VALENTY ROAD - In area between Evans Lane and Burnside - Vic Herbert
asked city what the plans for this proposed street is.
Mayor Cotant said development of street would be required when development
of bordering property takes place.
Mr. Herbert told council that a new directive has come out that the State
will not construct sidewalks on state projects if citi'es have ordinances
requiring sidewalks.be built.
A discussion followed concerning the proposed Valenty Road with no definite
plans. A Local Improvement District for the development of the proposed
Valenty Road between Evans Lane and East Burnside Avenue was disussed.

development of this street. The L.].D. consideration was further discussed
with a decision that some study on the matter will be considered by the
city.
