A11 Aye 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.

(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.
