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. 131 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 133 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.
