RE: PUBLIC HEARING OF ANNEXATION OF HERITAGE ESTATES SUBDIVISION A public Hearing of the Annexation of Heritage Estates subdivision owned by AMR Corporation was held. Mayor Porter told the council that he had talked to the Mayor of Boise and ask him if they had changed their annexation policy. He told him that the council had voted to do it the same way, except to annex only once a year. Our Planning & Zoning Commission had recommended that we annex property only twice a year. Mayor Porter felt that we should consider annexing into -the city the golf course, airport and the old dump that they are planning to build a park at. Heritage Estates is south of the city, on 2nd East running East and West just south ofthe water reservoir. Dave-. Benton, of Benton Engineering in Blackfoot was present to present the preliminary plat. The Planning & Zoning Commission had recommended that, (a) That Cul-de-sac lots be changed to have 60' frontage. (b) That restrictive covenants be approved and filed prior to approval of final Platt. (c) That Sherwood Hills be included as part of the Rexburg storm sewer system at the developer's expense. (copy attached) Mayor Porter said that if anymore land is annexed into the city, the city's water & sewer ordinance should be revised. The new annexations have not paid any on the original system, and should pay more on hook up fees. The rates will go up all over the City when the new treatment plant gets finished. The council stated that it should be clear that the city is not responsible for the lift stations or water connects. No zone classification for the property was recommended by Mr. Benton, he said that when the preliminary plat is filed a request will be made for Residential 1 and Res- idential 2 zones. It was moved by Morgan Garner to annex the property into the City, seconded by Nile Boyle. Those voting Aye: Darlene Blackburn Warren Porter Barton Jensen Morgan Garner Nile Boyle Those voting Nay: Jim Morris RE: DEAN RICKS PRESENTED A PLAT FOR THE RICKS-PALMER SUBDIVISION TO BE ANNEXED Dean Ricks presented a plat for the Ricks-Palmer Subdivision to be annexed into the City.

Barton Jensen moved that the property be annexed and zoned R2, seconded by Darlene Blackburn, All Aye. RE: KENT JOLLEY - CREST HAVEN SUBDIVISION - SETTLEMENT FOR WORK HE DID ON SUBDIVISION Kent Jolley, owner of Crest Haven subdivision, met with the council to ask for a "fair and legal" settlement for work he had done while developing his subdivision . Mr. Jolley had installed a 12" sewer pipe instead of the regular 8" pipe. The 12" pipe would be big enough to service the hill. The difference in the cost of the 8" pipe and the 12" pipe was $11,800. The total cost of the project was $106,000. Jolley said that the council and Mayor had told him unofficially that they would pay for the oversized pipe. He also felt that he should be paid for the fire hydrants that he put in his subdivision. An ordinance had been made that the city would not pay for fire hydrants. Mr. Jolley said that the cost of the oversized pipe and fire hydrants would be $20,000. Jolley pointed out that the council had received $211,000 from the TDRO to complete sewer lines that he had already done. Mayor Porter pointed out that TDRO money can not be used to pay for the hydrants and told him that the money would have to be taken out of the budget, and it had not been budgeted for. Mayor Porter told him that he should have checked with the council before he had the hydrants installed. Jolley said since he had the same engineer as the city and he had assumed that he had received the proper permission before the hydrants were installed. Jolley felt that if they would not pay for the fire hydrants that they should. pay for the total cost of the sewer line, since they had received the money from TDRO. Mayor Porter told him in r~efense of the other subdivisions that had already run sewer lines at their. own cost, it would not be fair if the city paid for all of his. ?; j ` Nile Boyle told him that if the sub-division had been annexed before the city passed the ordinance ruling that the city would not pay for fire hydrants, then the city would have paid for them. However, it was not annexed until after. The council ask him if he had an agreement with Rexburg Heights to pay part of the cost. He said the only agreement was that they would tap into it. The council told him that they would study the figures and make a decision at the next council meeting. RE: JIM BARRETT & VAL DIETRICH - PARKING LOT Mayor Porter said that Jim Barrett & Val Dietrich had been in the office and would like to sell their property to the city for the parking, They had an appraisal of $71,200. The appraisal that Mary Smith had was $61,500. Nile Boyle moved that Mary Smith and Mayor Porter be authorized to go ahead and buy the property. All Aye. RE: ROGER FERGUSON & STEVE MEIKLE TO GOLF BOARD Mayor Porter told the council that Roomer Feraus~n and SrevP Me~klP ha~1 been aTpo~nted to the Golf Board. RE: DECIDING MEETING ON THE BARNEY DAIRY ROAD ROUTE Mayor Porter told the council that Walkers, the City and the County had met and decided on a route for the Barney Dairy Road. It would come from the Barney Dairy to the edge of the new park, a bridge would be put in rught there and it would go down the city right of way to 3rd East and then to the Highway by Forsgren Perkins. RE: NEW STORM DRAINS SHOULD HAVE A BAR ACROSS FOR SAFETY Barton Jensen said that he felt that in opening of the new storm drains, they should have a bar across them to keep children out of the trap.

Brent Hebdon's Little Giant - Discussion, the council felt that inasmuch as he was w in and operating his business, that there was no reason to turn it down until a ruling came from the court to do so.
