Ron mentioned that our normal procedure is anything that is due is due when they record the final plat. The LDS church has requested that we do it, at such time, as they pay for the church building permit. Councilmember Bean inquired if the Church were to sell to a new owner, could we collect from that new owner. Ron Folsom stated, yes, if you change the language to building permit. Councilmember Bean stated he would like to collect money, if it does not get developed. He wants us to understand what the risks are. Councilmember Bean inquired if we would do this for a commercial business. He wants to make sure the funds are available. It was discussed exceptions may not be a good idea. City Attorney Scott Hall suggested adding a Special Condition #3. Councilmember Bean motioned to th amend the prior motion with the money shall be placed in the 17 Street improvement fund, at the earlier of, street improvements or upon application of the building permit.

City Attorney Scott Hall suggested skipping over the items involving the schools until Councilmember Kirkham arrives because Councilmember Waite will probably abstain and a quorum is needed. Council agreed to move to item 5 on the agenda. 5. Cortland Ridge Divisions 5 and 6 Amended Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, and Development Agreement: Councilmember Bean commented, when we looked at the preliminary plat, he raised some concerns relative to the storm drainage. He stated they were reassured those things were on task and that it was going to go in. He stated he talked to our engineer and things have fallen through and it has not been done. Jay Johnson, 2125 Caballero Drive, stated he needed to give an update. He stated it has been signed and sealed as of 5pm today and it has been worked out. Pond has been stacked, but waiting for Rex. Councilmember Bean stated he is still opposed to looking at 5 and 6 until that is done. He is concerned for the very same reason that they thought it was already signed and sealed before. He would rather wait till it’s connected and functioning. Councilmember Bean stated he would be willing to compromise as to when it is connected and the storm drainage pond is of the size it can handle 1, 2, 3, and 4. Jay Johnson stated there is a pond there. Councilmember Bean asked Bill Manwill how much that pond will handle. Councilmember Bean also mentioned a problem that the City of Idaho Falls will not accept the improvement th drawings. He asked Jay Johnson if that was correct. Brent Johnson, 6030 S. 25 East, stated it was because they needed a gravel access to a manhole. He had forgotten about it and then weather was not permissive. Councilmember Bean asked for a copy of the letter from the City of Idaho Falls. He also mentioned they have to put a gate in. He feels they can get that done fairly quickly. Councilmember Bean mentioned that in the past, they had problems with improvement drawings not being signed off on by the City of Idaho Falls. They went through some pains as a Council for approving plats without the signature. They developed a policy that they would no longer approve final plats without the City of Idaho Falls already signing off. He doesn’t want to start making exceptions. He feels we should move this to the next agenda to avoid this. Councilmember Bean motioned to table the Cortland Ridge Divisions 5 and 6 Amended Preliminary Plat, Final Plat and Development Agreement until our next scheduled City Council meeting on May 3, 2007. City Council Minutes 04/19/2007 -- 3 Councilmember Waite seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Bean – Yes, Councilmember Waite – Yes, and Councilmember Thompson – Yes. The motion passed. 6. Trellis Square Division #2 Final Plat and Development Agreement: Planning Director Ron Folsom explained where the property was located. He explained Division #2 is 3 lots. Councilmember Bean motioned to approve the Final Plat for Trellis Square Division #2. Councilmember Waite seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Bean – Yes, Councilmember Waite – Yes, and Councilmember Thompson – Yes. The motion passed. Leslie Folsom explained the only problem we have had with this is we don’t provide the water if they become delinquent on their bill. Scott Hall is aware of the situation. Councilmember Kirkham arrived at 8:10pm. Ron Folsom mentioned the Development Agreement says Division #1, but it is Division #2. Ron Folsom explained where the property is and the history of the purchases of the property. He also explained the layout of the property and there is still only one access. Alan Cunningham, 1020 Lincoln Road Idaho Falls, explained how the Divisions are displayed. He just turned in Division #3 and there will be another access. If there is a concern, they can put gravel down for access. Councilmember Thompson stated we should make sure to check that when Division #3 comes in. Ron Folsom mentioned the 30 ft strip would be included in all those individual lots. Councilmember Thompson motioned to approve Trellis Square Division #2 Final Plat and Development Agreement. Councilmember Kirkham seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Thompson – Yes, Councilmember Kirkham – Yes, Councilmember Bean – Yes, and Councilmember Waite – Yes. The motion passed. 7. Trellis Square Division #2 Preliminary Site Plan: Planning Director Ron Folsom explained the buildings total about 28,000 sq feet which would be over 100 parking places. They have just sent a letter saying that they will not have more floor space than 20,000 sq ft., which will comply with the parking requirements. Councilmember Thompson asked what is in the west end of the building. Ron Folsom responded it will be warehouse. We do not count warehouse for parking requirements. We will keep track as buildings come in. Councilmember Bean motioned to approve the Preliminary Site Plan for Trellis Square Division #2. Councilmember Waite seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Bean – Yes, Councilmember Waite – Yes, Councilmember Thompson - Yes, and Councilmember Kirkham – Yes. The motion passed. Due to Councilmember Kirkham arriving, the Council will return to the previous items that were postponed. 2. Conditional Use Permit – Hillcrest High School Weight Room Addition: Councilmember Bean inquired if this takes from the parking area or grassy area. It was concluded it was grassy area. Councilmember Bean asked if we need time limits. Tom Hunsaker stated, the most, would be for the life of the building. Councilmember Bean motioned to approve the Conditional Use Permit for the Bonneville Joint School District #93 for an addition of a weight room, for the life of the use of the building. Councilmember Kirkham seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Bean – Yes, Councilmember Kirkham – Yes, and Councilmember Thompson – Yes. Councilmember Waite abstained. The motion passed.

It was decided to record this Conditional Use Permit. 3. Conditional Use Permit – Hillview Elementary School Cafeteria, Office, and Kitchen Addition: Councilmember Kirkham motioned to approve the Conditional Use Permit for Hillview Elementary School Cafeteria, Office, Library and Kitchen addition for the life of the building.

Conditional Use Permit – Woodland Hills Elementary School Modular Classrooms: Councilmember Bean stated he doesn’t like modular’s, but asked Roger if they are necessary. Roger stated they are as long as Council is approving more building permits. Ron Folsom stated these modulars are signs of prosperity. Councilmember Bean asked Roger where a school will go to replace these modulars. It was discussed they won’t go away for a long time. Councilmember Bean stated he would just like to know when a new school is planned. Roger stated it depends on the rate of growth, if it continues how it is now, he thinks it would be about two years from now. They will also probably be looking at building another secondary school, also. At the latest, a new elementary school would be in ndth 2011. They have looked at property on 52 East and 65 South. He said he has spoken to Jay Johnson about a possible school drawn into plans.

City Council Minutes 04/19/2007 -- 4 8. Water Use Agreement – Progressive Irrigation: Planning Director Ron Folsom stated on Page 2 under Section 1, it is questionable as to how it reads concerning service water rights and the availability of removing them from the District. Ron discussed this with City Attorney Scott Hall and it was suggested that Council have Scott call Kent Foster to get the language changed. Councilmember Bean motioned to table the Water Use Agreement, until such time, that a water attorney can take a look at it. Councilmember Waite seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Bean – Yes, Councilmember Waite – Yes, Councilmember Kirkham – Yes, and Councilmember Thompson – Yes. The motion passed. 9.

Roll call vote: Councilmember Waite – Yes, Councilmember Thompson – Yes, Councilmember Bean – Yes, and Councilmember Kirkham – Yes. The motion passed. DISCUSSION ITEMS : Mayor Ard mentioned that he had a constituent call from Chasewood concerning portable speed bumps. They have offered to pay for half the cost to put one in. City Administrator Bruce Rose mentioned he has had two requests, in the past two weeks, for speed bumps. One was in the Cortland Ridge area and one Eagles Homestead Drive. Previously, there have been requests for Tiebreaker and Midway. Councilmember Kirkham asked if we have criteria for speed bumps. Bill Manwill suggested getting a speed study. Councilmember Kirkham stated we need to establish criteria first. Councilmember Kirkham suggested we have the criteria, then if they meet that criteria, then do a speed study. Councilmember Bean suggested we give a proposal to the City Engineer and the Staff and they make the determination whether or not a study is needed. It was discussed, if Bonneville County Sheriff’s office could patrol the areas in question. Councilmember Kirkham stated she has tried and the County says they are seven deputy’s short and they are understaffed. They are doing the best they can and our traffic needs cannot be number one on their list. Mayor Ard stated then we are paying them too much money. Bruce Rose commented he receives calls about speeding issues and has found that after he calls the people back to see if they have noticed any change, they have usually seen the area patrolled within 2-3 days. Councilmember Bean suggested buying one of the signs that shows your speed. 1. Eagle Bridge Storm Drainage: Bill Manwill asked for clarification for Eagle Bridge, as to the storm drainage. His concept of this project is that we dispatch the discharge into the storm drainage system at the Rick’s Farm commercial development. It was discussed it exceeds the design capacity and we will have some ponding in the low spots of the parking lot. Mountain River is taking the approach that they have to, since they designed the plan. If it starts to backup water into the parking lot, they want to cover their liability by informing the Council that we are exceeding what they have designed for. Bill doesn’t think it’s a significant problem to put it in their due to the City Council Minutes 04/19/2007 -- 5 safety factors that are already in this design. There is already excess capacity available. It was discussed another option would be to create some area for a retention pond before it is put into the storm system. Councilmember Kirkham commented she has a problem putting water where we are not supposed to. Bill Manwill stated we are already doing that and that is part of the problem. We cannot be discharging, this sections waters, into the United States waters without pretreatment but we are. If we put this into the Hillcrest Pond, then we will meet our obligation. At the time Hillview was built, it was legal. Councilmember Bean stated he suspects we have the ability to determine what the capacity is with Rick’s Farm right now. He also suspects we can estimate what our runoff out of Hillview would be. He wants to make sure we know we are at. Bill Manwill mentioned that current design standards state, that somewhere between 2 – 5 year cycles; we will flood the parking lot because it was designed for this. If we put additional water into this, it will do the same thing but it will do it more frequently. This will happen with a one-inch storm. Mayor Ard stated that we are flooding houses now. Bill said most of the time, within an hour or hour and a half; this will drain out of the lot. The parking lot where the water would back up into is near Kohl’s area. The system will handle 1.3 inches off the entire Rick’s Farm development. Councilmember Bean suggested we take this back to work session because there is more to discuss on this issue. Bill mentioned that with the new EPA regulations for storm water drainage, we have to do something with this issue. 2. Summer 2007 Water Conservation Program: City Administrator Bruce Rose explained the proposal he came up with for the Summer 2007 Water Conservation Program. He would like Council to consider to announce an odd/even lawn watering program and in addition to that, to advertise to get some general conservation. He would stst propose we do this as early as May 1 through as late as September 30. If we cannot do it by May 1, then before the end of May. He suggests we do this in two phases, the first phase is to try to get them to do voluntary compliance and we can monitor that. We see how the City is doing, and then if we have to go to a second phase, the Mayor can give a proclamation to conserve water. With that proclamation, we can enforce and issue citations, under City Code 8345. He spoke to Scott Hall, the only thing they would need, is how to enforce citations. It was suggested we could deputize “Tye”. He stated we could try to get media coverage and suggested sending out a st mailer. It was decided we should start by May 1. Councilmember Kirkham said go for it. Bruce Rose asked if they would like him to set up press conference. It was decided to have a press conference with the Mayor. It was discussed how to set the days due to those that are on automatic sprinklers. It was discussed to have a 6 day program, Monday – Saturday with odd/even days matching the addresses and have Sunday open. 3. Misc.: City Administrator Bruce Rose stated he has two items to discuss. He is working on economic development grants. We need to do something, in conjunction with, the grant we received. We need to form two committees, a fair value and an ADA committee. He needs to recruit three individuals and wants to know if Council wants to participate. We need to have a citizen with a disability and wants to know if Council can suggest someone. Scott Hall mentioned Eric Yeary who has worked with the legislature on disability items. Bruce Rose also brought up Greenfield Acres and their sidewalks and chip seals. He met with them and indicated to them it would be their responsibility to do their chip seals and sidewalks. They had asked what would happen if they did not do this. Bruce suggested we send a letter to each individual to tell them to get together to get it done, by a certain date. Scott Hall suggested we tell them to remove the rock gravel on the corners to assist in weed control. Councilmember Kirkham brought up the Fire District Proposal situation. She stated we need to have the resolution written and ready, if we decide to do this. She asked if Scott Hall could put that together. Councilmember Bean stated he doesn’t feel we need to do a resolution until they tell us what they are offering. Councilmember Bean suggested we have the Fire District officials present what they have to offer to Councilmember Bean and Kirkham. It was discussed what they would like to have with the deal. Bruce Rose asked th how we would like to present that meeting. Leslie Folsom asked if they would like to have the March 27 minutes available. It was discussed to just have flyer copies. Councilmember Kirkham brought up the Cottages and the swales that are not in compliance, she thinks we need to send a notice that they need to comply by the end of June. Bruce Rose stated we are already in the process of doing that. Councilmember Kirkham asked about the French Drains. It was discussed a trench was dug. Councilmember Kirkham asked if we are sending letters to Centennial Ranch and Eagle Pointe to get them in compliance. Bruce Rose stated they will be doing that, yes. th Councilmember Kirkham asked when the Arbor Day celebration is. It was discussed it is on April 26 at 10am. Councilmember Thompson brought up that we got gazebo grant for $37,500 but they are requiring us to bury the overhead wires. This will cost approx. $20,000. The Council stated maybe we should put the gazebo somewhere else, possibly Woodland Hills. It was decided to put this on the work session. Jay Johnson stated he doesn’t have a problem with the two week delay. He wants Council to understand the big picture on this issue. It has a lot to do with the flood plain. A month ago, they could have had a retention pond done by verbal approval. With what they would have done, they would have excluded from the flood plain all City Council Minutes 04/19/2007 -- 6 the people from Sunnyside clear to the road and all the people west of the canal. He has been working to move all of that out of the flood plain free of charge. He explained there is a strip between his properties that is causing an issue, also. They solved the issue tonight though. So this storm pond has much more to do with than just Cortland Ridge 5 & 6. He just wanted Council to be aware of the issues. Councilmember Bean stated the bigger issue tonight became the sewer. He was willing to compromise on the storm drainage. Ron Folsom stated he gave everyone the daycare packets. He wants some input on this issue. He stated Karen Cornwell wanted to work with them on that, but Ron stated they are too far along. He said there are still changes made each day. We do not have to have a hearing on this. He feels we should send a letter on this to people saying we will take public input on this. Councilmember Kirkham stated she doesn’t think there is a lot rd people can take issue with on this. Ron stated he would like their input by May 3. It was discussed; if he doesn’t receive anything then we assume they are okay with it. Ron Folsom mentioned there will be changes to the code for kennels. He explained the process for getting a kennel license. He asked if he could change the way we do it. Council agreed. Councilmember Bean motioned to adjourn. Councilmember Kirkham seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Bean – Yes, Councilmember Kirkham – Yes, Councilmember Waite – Yes, and Councilmember Thompson – Yes. The motion passed. The meeting adjourned at 9:50 p.m. ___________________________________________ C. Bruce Ard, Mayor ______________________________________ Leslie Folsom, City Clerk City Council Minutes 04/19/2007 -- 7
