PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING ITEMS NOT ON AGENDA:
None
ACTION ITEMS
:
The first three actions items were tabled until later.
4. Appeal – Casa Hills requirement of single drive:
Planning Director Ron Folsom stated the property location
and an appeal by the property owners for the Council to reassess their requirement for one access to both properties.
D.J. Skinner, 3832 Summer Circle, Idaho Falls, stated she has some concerns about the shared driveway –
i.e. removal of trees and moving of culverts would be expensive. She is also concerned about who is in charge of
maintenance, etc.
Blair Stucki, Draper, Utah, stated he donated property and would like the Council to reconsider their
decision concerning one access. He stated he spoke with Mr. Manwill. Bill Manwill stated his only concern seemed
to be the cost of removing the trees; they will have to be moved sooner or later. Blair believes the proposed
driveway would render the property useless.
Councilmember Kirkham inquired as to what the County would require in this situation. Tom Hunsaker
responded he believes the county would just require the driveways to be adjacent. Councilmember Kirkham agreed
with the property owners, but is concerned about the future on Crowley Road. Mr. Stucki inquired if a building
permit would be denied to that lot. He stated he received a notice from the City that if he was to relinquish the 25’
on his property then they would issue a building permit. Councilmember Kirkham explained Mr. Stucki would still
have to go through the requirements to get the building permit, it is not a given. Councilmember Kirkham stated her
main issue is that we remain consistent. Considerable discussion ensued relative to safety and how many added
accesses might occur in the future. Councilmember Kirkham motioned to grant the appeal and allow two
independent driveways. Councilmember Thompson seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Kirkham – Yes,
Councilmember Thompson – Yes, and Councilmember Bean – No. Councilmember Bean stated the reason he
declined was due to safety considerations not being met. The motion passed.
1. Doves Landing Preliminary Plat:
Planning Director Ron Folsom explained the where the property is located.
Bill Manwill stated a portion of the finding from the traffic study. Bill stated that with this development they will go
into unacceptable levels sooner and intersection design will have to meet development standards.
Councilmember Bean inquired why we have not required subdivision developers to widen the frontage in
front of their subdivision due to the considerable pressures they cause. He believes we need to consider what we
plan to do on Crowley Road, and a possible traffic light. Tom Hunsaker presented the Planning & zoning report
thst
which their main concern was the stretch between 17 and 21 Street on Crowley Road and the accesses to Crowley.
thst
Councilmember Bean inquired of Bill Manwill if we can access this from 17 and 21 Street, which will force
people into a traffic light then use a frontage road in front of that.
Paul Mangelson, developer, stated there are only two access points and explained where they would like to
th
have them. Tom Hunsaker recommended a light at 17 Street with one access for it. Mr. Mangelson stated there
are 170 houses in RPA zone and 100 in R1A. Councilmember Bean stated he recommended a single access onto
th
Crowley Road as long as there is an access off 17 into that commercial zone. He would also like to see a
requirement for the developers to widen their half of Crowley Road with curb, gutter and sidewalk with the traffic
signal to go in at that time. Mr. Mangelson stated he believed the widening of Crowley Road was not something his
development needed to do because he doesn’t believe his development is the cause for the need to widen Crowley
Road. Councilmember Kirkham disagreed. Mr. Mangelson was concerned that he would be the only developer
paying to have a light installed. Councilmember Bean explained they ask each developer to pay some sort of impact
for growth. We negotiate with each developer. Mr. Mangelson wondered if the light could go in at a later date since
the traffic study does not project its need until 2010. Councilmember Thompson inquired on the green space and
bike path. Mr. Mangelson said the channel is their green space with a walking path down the center and each
individual owner with CC&R restrictions, per Gerald Williams the engineer, will be responsible for landscaping.
Councilmember Kirkham inquired to Mr. Mangelson what he believed would like to see done. Mr. Mangelson
replied he would like more time to put some thought into it. Mr. Mangelson said they are now aware that they will
be required to widen the street and address the light to come to a satisfactory agreement. Councilmember
Thompson motioned to table the Dove’s Landing until it can be discussed in a work session. Councilmember

Kirkham seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Thompson – Yes, Councilmember Kirkham – Yes, and
Councilmember Bean – Yes. The motion carried.
2. Grandview Estates Annexation and Initial Zoning:
Planning Director Ron Folsom presented the location of
the Grandview Estates annexation.
Kirk Roland, Schiess and Associates, requested annexation and initial zone of RPA. There are 26.86 acres
in the property.
Nancy Pinnock, 1890 S. 55 E., is concerned about the corner piece being shown but it is not part of the
nd
annexation. It is across the road on 52 East. She provides water service to this section. Councilmember Kirkham
explained it is not in the annexation being presented tonight.
Tom Hunsaker presented Planning and Zonings recommendations of 1) runoff burms and 24” culverts to
control flow, 2) Well #11 needs to be outside 1000’ of other existing wells, and 3) any blasting must be done by
someone licensed, insured and follows best practices. Kirk Roland stated they will burm and put culverts in.
Councilmember Kirkham questioned whether we needed to address the size of the culverts. Bill Manwill stated he
will study what exists and what is needed. Mayor Ard stated we do not have a water right for Well #11 at this time.
Councilmember Kirkham motioned to approve the annexation of Grandview Estates and Initial RPA Zoning with
the following conditions:
1) A study is done on the runoff water.
2) Burms and culverts be put in place with approval of the City Council
3) Any blasting done in the area be done by a licensed, insured blaster that follows best practices.
Councilmember Bean seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Kirkham – Yes, Councilmember Bean – Yes, and
Councilmember Thompson – Yes. The motion carried.
3. Grandview Estates Preliminary Plat:
Planning Director Ron Folsom stated where the property is located and
nd
explained that Bill Manwill’s recommendation would be to have 52 go through the subdivision. Councilmember
nd
Thompson questioned if 52 is or will be a major road and if this will be a concern in the future.
nd
Nancy Pinnock spoke of her concerns regarding 52 Street and the bend in the road. She states the bend in
the road was put in for a safety reason. She is concerned about the house which is in legal battle now.
Bill Manwill stated that he believes that straightening 52nd where the small house is - is the best solution.
Attorney Scott Hall stated that we could force annex it, condemn it, and then do what the City wants with the
roadway. The monies will go into an inner pleader action which the court will determine who gets the money.
Councilmember Bean inquired that if they were to go back to the original plat with the cul-de-sac, why would the
road have to be straightened. Councilmember Thompson responded the road needs to be straightened because of
safety issues. Councilmember Bean stated it is a county road and would not be the City’s concern. Tom Hunsaker,
Planning and Zoning representative, stated we will have annexed on both side of roads. Councilmember
Thompson said it is a safety issue and needs to be straightened. Councilmember Bean agreed but doesn’t believe it
is a concern at this time. Councilmember Thompson disagreed. Councilmember Bean stated that when we annex to
the East side of the road, then we should consider straightening the road then. Tom Hunsaker stated the Planning
and Zoning recommendations on the Preliminary Plat. Bill Manwill suggested we do away with the access off of
nd
52 Street approach. Councilmember Thompson stated there could be three accesses for the subdivision with one
access lining up with Stafford. Councilmember Kirkham motioned for approval of the Grandview Estates
Preliminary Plat with the following changes:
1) Sawyer Avenue becomes a cul-de-sac,
2) Merrill Lane changed back to a cul-de-sac,
3) Alfonso is stubbed out for future development.
Councilmember Thompson seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Kirkham – Yes, Councilmember Thompson
– Yes, and Councilmember Bean – Yes. Motion passed.
