A Comprehensive Plan typically has a life of around five years, but looks forward at least 20
years to anticipate how the community will accommodate changes In population;
demographic, economic, or social trends. Developing the Rexburg Comprehensive Plan Is an
opportunity to consider the community as it is today, determine what is working well, and
what needs to change to make it better. The Comprehensive Plan also gives the City an
opportunity to plan for anticipated changes in transportation options, housing needs,
commerce, and open space.

A new high school is under construction and other schools will be considered as needs arise.
Page 40: Deleted Staff 10/21/2008 2:58:00 PM
The bond was originally outlined for the following projects:
Page 40: Deleted Staff 10/21/2008 2:59:00 PM
$5 million for a new elementary school on the west side of Rexburg (replacing Burton and
providing classrooms for growth on the west side of the city; estimated completion
date August 2008)
$3 million for renovation of existing high school for use as junior high
$26 million for new Madison High School
$4 million for major renovation and expansion of Lyman Elementary
$1 million for additional classrooms at Archer Elementary
$1.5 million to buy furnishings (desks and chairs) for new buildings, pay off existing debt
on land for new high school, and remodeling and renovation needs at other
elementary schools
The capital facility plan was updated to incorporate a new elementary school for fall of 2008
and eliminate the growth and renovation costs related to Lyman Elementary and Archer
Elementary. Rising construction costs are placing a strain on the District to meet the goals
outlined for the 2006 bond. Currently, the new Madison High School (still in design phase) is
projected to be completed for the 2010 school year. However, the District anticipates the
school will cost much more than previously calculated. The District is also facing general
capacity issues which have been temporarily alleviated through modular classrooms. In
December of 2007, the District presented the voters with additional bond needs that the
District felt were necessary to complete the new high school and other necessary capital
facilities. However, the bond failed originally, but was later passed in spring of 2008.

In the plan, three additional sites were considered as well as expansion at the present site.
Expansion at the existing airport was the least expensive in total estimated costs; however,
the local share for all alternatives evaluated (expansion of existing and three new sites)
ranged from $1,075,000 (expansion of airport) to $1,200,000 depending on the alternative
new site, The private share of costs was zero for expansion of the local airport and was
estimated to be approximately $1,100,000 for any of the three new sites.

Car sales lots, automotive garages, farm implement sales, lumber yards, fuel storage, and
wrecking yards are among the uses that have the potential to have a detrimental effect on the

Large Lot Zoning or Density Reduction
Zoning of identified preservation areas can be modified to require large lot sizes will
presumably conserve substantial amounts of the open space. However, such regulations run
the risk of being considered down zoning and may not be popular with landowners, or may be
politically challenging. And, although large lot zoning does reduce the number of homes that
can be built, it also can spread out homes in such a way that limits the ability of the remaining
land to be used for recreation or wildlife habitat. It is best used in conjunction with cluster
development or cluster zoning to preserve as much contiguous open space as possible for
recreation, aesthetics and wildlife habitat.

Yellowstone National Park
Page 177: Inserted Laura Hanson 10/27/2008 1:00:00 PM
The first of the national parks, Yellowstone was discovered and explored in 1808 by John
Colter, formerly of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Today millions of visitors are still enjoying
this spectacular wilderness.
Whether you are a camera buff, a geologist, nature lover, or just a tourist, Yellowstone will
weave Its spell on you. Geysers periodically spouting water, "mudpots" filled with boiling mud
and sulphurous smell can be left behind in the blink of an eye.
The next curve in the road can suddenly give you a breathtaking scene of whitecapped
mountains, sweet air and rivers that cascade into powerful waterfalls. Mountain meadows filled
with profusions of wildflowers may be the backdrop for elk or deer.
Buffalo and grizzly bears are the most spectacular animals seen in the park. The grizzlies are
harder to spot and tend to stay in the high country, while the buffalo can be seen grazing and
you may need to share the road with them. Other animals to watch for include antelope,
bighorn sheep, coyote, lynx, wolves, mountain lion, and numerous birds.
Fishing, biking, horseback riding and boating are just a few of the activities offered. In the
winter, the quiet beauty of Yellowstone is awe-inspiring. The wilderness saga continues and
can only be seen by those who venture in by cross-country skis, snowshoes, snowmobiles, or
snowcoach. Whatever season you visit the park, the unparalleled beauty of nature will give
you special memories that you will cherish forever.

The white rolling hills of sand range in height from 200 to 300 feet above the 4,900 foot valley
Floor. They stretch about 35 miles in length and from one to five miles in width. In mid-
summer, although the sand gets hot, the temperature rarely tops 90 degrees. The dunes gain
in size to a certain point, depending on the intensity of the prevailing winds as they creep
slowly north.

The falls is one of the most impressive geological sites in Eastern Idaho. The whole Snake
River pours over the crest and drops 114 feet to the canyon floor with an explosion of spray.
The wood walks and railings make it possible for one to view this beautiful fall from relative
safety. A ramp from the parking lot to the falls makes it handicapped accessible. The scenic
view is spectacular as you are standing within a few feet of the water going over the falls. The
Lower Mesa Falls is 65 feet high. The overlook here is not as close as the Upper Mesa Falls but
It gives a grander view of the falls in relation to the surrounding canyon.
The two Mesa Falls are the last undisturbed waterfalls of consequence In the western U.S. The
falls are located 35 miles north of Rexburg. Highway 47 east of Ashton has been designated
Mesa Falls Scenic Byway. There are restrooms and a visitors center at the falls.
