ACTION ITEMS:
th
1. 2727 E 14 N:
Ron stated that a site plan was submitted for this piece of property. He has advised the owner
that he will need to do asphalt or concrete. Landscaping will be required. In the industrial area, they allow river rock in
the landscaping, since many do not have a water source for this use. This property is located near Majestic Auto.
Bill Morgan, 2708 E Lincoln Rd. explained that Mr. Bergman the property owner has no intention of storing
anything outside of the building; he only wants a place to put his cars in, so they won’t be vandalized anymore.
Commissioner Russell Slack motioned to approve the site plan, as presented, subject to technical review from
staff. Commissioner Cindy Donavan seconded the motion. All in favor – the motion passed.

Ron updated the Commission on the items City Council had in September. The
Council had public comment on the water pressure in Quail Ridge. The Council has renewed the contract for the
police with the County. They will be housed in Ammon and vehicles will show Ammon. There will be one officer
dedicated on every shift to the City of Ammon who will enforce City ordinances. The City of Ammon went to Idaho
Falls and offered $125,000 for the landscaping on the eastside of Hitt Road, but Idaho Falls refused the money. On
th
September 17, the Council talked about having a Lighting District in all new subdivisions for the street lights, so the
property owners will pay for the street lights instead of the City. Dennis Kiser came to Council and pulled his
annexation request, since he didn’t want to dedicate property right-of-way to the City.
Lance updated the Commission on the water and sewer projects.
