Joint Planning & Zoning Committee Report by Tom Luthy, Chairman:
Mr. Luthy reported that this committee of six had met three times and
expressed appreciation to them for their dedicated service. Rexburg and Sugar
City land uses match up very closely, but the County needs to do some work in
designating areas for all types of land use. The ordinance and comprehensive
plan verbiage for land use is close. They now need the maps from GIS to do a
final check for boundary land uses and they will be able to wrap up the work the
Commissioners had asked them to accomplish.
Commissioner Muir thanked the members who had served on the Joint
Planning Committee.
Highway 33:
Mayor Larsen reported that at the LHTAC Meeting, the East Parkway
Project was being recommended for funding.
John Millar and Tom Cole are reworking the numbers and dollars that
each City will pay and how for many miles each City will be responsible. This
project is still under work.
Sugar City Bike Path:
Dusty Cureton, Road and Bridge Supervisor reported that there are some
serious problems with the base for the bike path that need to be resolved prior to
continuing work on the path. The foundation has no pit run gravel and therefore
a foundation that will not last with continued use. Mr. Dick Dyer, Engineer, stated
that he will not criticize work of another engineer. He did refer to the original
report and it did state that pit run gravel should be part of the foundation in order
for the long term performance of the path. There was discussion regarding how

to fund this addition to the path. The decision by the Joint Councils and
Commissioners was to build the path as originally documented.
Flooding Conditions in Madison County:
Commissioner Robison reported that he will have Steve Smart from
NRSC, High Country RC&D work with the County to
Seek funding to assist with flooding problems. They will need to prioritize the
flooding areas and what needs to be done. Two projects that need to be looked
at are the culvert at the Mill Hollow Trailer Court and the LP property
revitalization. A proposal will be submitted to the High Country RC&D
Committee.
Commissioner Muir reported that when the County has flooding conditions
or conditions deemed a disaster that they need to have an emergency meeting
and declare a disaster. This will enable the County to help on private property.
