(action)
Public Works Director Keith Davidson said the City of Rexburg is seeking a Conditional
Use Permit(CUP) for the 2.5 million gallon water resevoir to service the needs of the
community. It came to his attentiona CUP was needed after construction had already
started. Keith fully intends to follow the landscaping requirement and other requirements
for the CUP. The property is located across the street from Burton Elementary school.
Steve Oakey asked how the land was acquired. Was it a fair market transaction? The
landowner and the City traded land. The landscaping would be similar to his other water
resevoirs. Grass will be planted. There will be a driveway, fencing, and planting of trees.
Rory Kunz asked for any other clarifying questions. Keith Esplin is hoping the land will be
maintained better than the City's blue water tank. DEQ regulations for a well dictates the
chemicals put down to maintain the weeds. Brett Sampson, BYU liaison, asked if the
request was for something existing or something new? The information was repeated.
John Bowen asked if a well has already been dug? A well has already been dug. It is a good
production well. The tank will act as a reservoir and there will be pressure tanks to pump
the water due to the elevation. This will help the fire flows and development in this area on
the West side of town including the schools. There are large transmission lines currently in
place to service the area. The water system only crosses US -20 in three places. Darrik
Farmer asked about the landscaping plan to be presented. Public Works Director Keith
Davidson passed out a landscape plan to the Commissioners. The requirements are trees
30' apart and five, 5 -gallon bushes between the trees. The blue area is for drainage to allow
cleaning out the tank if needed, allowing infiltration back into the ground. Bruce
Sutherland recalled the city was worried some time ago, that the water system was not
linked to flow all the way around the city. Keith responded, modeling was used to determine
where the well would be needed to provide the pressures needed. Hydraulic head loss and
friction in the pipes reduces pressures. This new well helps to alleviate this problem in this
location. The tank is 42', but part of it is buried in the ground. About 6' is buried in the
ground. They plan on berming up 6' around the tank with the landscaping going around it.
Greg Blacker asked about the noise involved. The pumps do create some noise, but they
will be in a building to help mitigate the noise next to the residential neighborhoods. Keith
Esplin has some concerns about how the upkeep on the tower east of BYU-Idhaho.
Public Works Director Keith Davidson responded, the plan is not to paint this west -side
tower. Painting was needed on the east -side tower due to its construction material, and cost
a little over $300,000 to paint. The concrete exterior on the west -side tower will reduce
maintenance costs for the reservoir. The project is estimated to be completed this Spring
(2019). The columns are being poured on the inside. Construction for this season should
be finished by Thanksgiving. In the Spring, they will wrap the tank and shock-crete on top
of that. Todd Marx saw there is a generator on the inside. The noisiest thing inside the
building would be the generator that would run if there is a power outage.
