RE: MICKELSEN FINAL PLAT DISCUSSED
TOPIC: (21,24,,,MICKELSEN PLAT,FINAL PLATS,EASEMENTS,SEFIER,
HOMESTEAD DEVELOPERS)
Mickelsen Final Plat- Joe showed a copy of the plat and explained. He
had previously sent a letter to the council. He explained the nine
,., lots that Mr Gagner is proposing. Explaining it is in yellow and is a
'.. portion of that intended to be the Mickelsen Plat between Oak and 2nd
'. South. He showed where the water and sewer was on the map in the back
!.__... of the lots and showed the manholes. It doesn't appear that the water
and sewer are in the easement. It is his proposal that the entire
block should be platted as is called for in the Idaho Code. It calls
for two things, when you have a surveyor come out and put pins in for
the location of the lots, everyone will have their lot tied down at one
point and everyone would know where their lots are at. If they are not
done in that manner and each individual comes out and has their
surveyor come out to tie down a lot and another one comes out and ties
down another lot, there is a big chance for error and the lots won't
match up. The same problem lies in the way the individual meets and
bounds description are arrived at if there are a lot of lots involved.
Over the years as lots are transferred from one deed to another, there
are errors made in the property descriptions and you end up with a lot
of over lapping. (discussion. issue further) He felt there should be a
paved driveway back to service the sewer manhole. The easements need
to be addressed.
Chuck Mickelsen asked if the sewer line had been scooped? Joe told him
it would be after Christmas before they could do it. Chuck stated that
right now the location ie a guess using the manhole location.
-~ Lee Gagner, Homestead Construction- He asked how accurate the method is
!. that was used to determine where the water and sewer is? Joe stated
that the city had a survey crew determined the location with the three
manholes and the lot corners. Mr Gagner asked if when the city does
scoop the line can they determine if it is in the easement? He ie
interested in purchasing the nine lots, but it appears at this point if
that is where the sewer and water line rune, it is running almost on
lot 18. It appears that the sewer line is almost in his back patio.
It basically makes those lots unsalable. There is no way to get sewer
and water to any of the lots where the lines run now, because you would
be going across someone's lot and have no right of easement. He stated
that if they owned the land they would make a wider easement on the
back so you wouldn't disturb any neighbors. There would need to be an
easement to service the lines. (Joe discussed problem) After a
lengthy discussion on problems with easement and platting, it was
decided we can't do anything until we get this line scooped and see
where the line is. After the line is scooped we can see if we need to
put in a new line or repair it. It was felt the nine lots need to be
platted with the easement and it was felt that the complete area in
that subdivision needs to be platted. (the issue will be tabled to a
later meeting)
The mayor told them it is a city line and our responsibility to have it
in good shape and working.

RE: PROBLEM AT 1000 NORTH
TOPIC: (21,25,,,1000 NORTH, FI2TERIALS)
Joe explained a problem at 1000 North. It is to do with the
Transportation Plan. He showed the street plan and map. (discussion)
There is an owner that owns property on South of 1000 North and a
~~
little property on 2nd Eaet who ie talking about selling hie property.
If this is a prime arterial width it would need to be 124 feet. One
half of that is 62 feet to the center line. This would leave the
property 94 feet deep. The individual is not satisfied with that
arrangement. If it becomes a major arterial there would be a concern.
(diecuseion) The council discussed the width of 2nd Eaet and wondered
if it needed to be wider. Discussion if the city would have to buy the
ground for the easement. If the property is reduced 35 8, the
remainder of the property is decreased in value. Joe discussed the
width of roads in Idaho Fa11s. The council needs to study it and think
about it. Glen felt our attorney needs to check it out. Table issue
to another meeting.
Meeting adjourned.
