2. Final Plat - 1 Amended D1 – Sand Creek Place:
Ron explained this is a previously seen plat. This
originally was one lot, which was Lot 4. They will be splitting this lot in half with the already developed part making
up the new Lot 7. One of the requirements before was they would allow access to the Arave property adjacent to Wal-
Mart. They have been advised this would still be a requirement. The Arave property borders to the East of the new Lot
8.
Kim Leavitt. Harper Leavitt Engineering, 985 Capital Ave., Idaho Falls, Id. stated the easement is still
pending. There will be a cross access agreement between this owner and the Arave property. He would like the cross
access agreement to be put in the development agreement. Tom Hunsaker had some worries, if they put in a restaurant
there could be a problem with whether there is enough parking. At this point, there is no way to know what will be put
on this property. At the time a site plan comes in the staff will make sure there is enough parking for whatever is
planned for this property.
Commissioner Steve Richards motioned recommendation for approval of the final plat, subject to a cross
access agreement and following technical review. Commissioner Scott Wessel seconded the motion. All in favor – the
motion passed.
DISCUSSION ITEMS:
1. General:
There was discussion for clarification that at the time of final plat, it is not relevant to worry about
parking nor should it have any influence on the decision that is made on the final plat.
