Unanimously approved. Aviation Safety Group Report — Board of Realtors meeting update Russ Stromberg presented a Power Point that was shared with the Idaho Board of Realtors regarding 360° Ranch Subdivision. Mr. Stromberg worked with Mike Chapman, Dr. Jeff Edwards, and Mike Anderson. The presentation illustrated that information regarding ITD Aeronautical Airport Land Use Guidelines and associated safety hazards was not available to the Valley County Planning & Zoning Department and the Valley County P&Z Committee prior to their review and approval of 360° Ranch, and that 360° Ranch Subdivision listing agents must disclose `adverse material facts' buyers. A healthy discussion ensued in which Mike Chapman stated that the Board of Realtors agreed that the aviation concerns presented do indeed qualify as adverse material facts, but the Board of Realtors will take no position, and make no statement. They cannot cover all the details, nor address every adverse material fact. Rick Fereday asked "since the Board won't go on record, then does State Statute provide the ability to enforce? Is it a 'we don't know' or `should have known and should have disclosed' situation?" Mr. Stromberg stated "the statute is not pre- emptive, but reactive. If you don't disclose, you can be sued, but the Board can't take pre- emptive action." Mike Anderson stated "as a broker, if any of my agents gets sued, I get sued. It is incumbent on me to remind and ensure disclosure." Mr. Stromberg asked, "what can we do regarding actions or inactions involving brokers in Mountain Central Association of Realtors? One — ensure the C.U.P. and CCRs provide that the City has leverage, shall record an avigation easement with the developer and the City which shall apply to all future landowners." Mr. Stromberg stated the current avigation is `mute' on future exchanges. Chairman Jones stated that it was fantastic presentation and is not sure what we can get on Council Agenda, as an action item, or recommendation to Council that they accept this avigation easement. Mr. Stromberg stated that one attorney told him that we can't put all adverse material facts in avigation easement. Mike Weiss suggested the Star -News. The group stated: not yet, not yet. Chairman Jones asked if there can be any further action on our part? Mr. Fereday said it's important to protect the city and the county with as much up -front ammunition as we can get on an avigation easement. Unfortunately, we already have subdivisions and don't think we can stop it, concerned about time frame. Mr. Stromberg stated, "Anecdotal not factual, have to have 90 percent infrastructure in before final plat. P&Z Commissioner Sasha Childs upset and urging reengage P&Z. The leverage we have is av agreement with City." Ms. Hart informed the group that the 360° developer hasn't signed the original aviation easement. All agreed it's not a robust enough agreement. Mr. Strombreg stated that City council has to based on Rick Stein's briefing, Council approved draft agreement which does not meet requirement. Take draft off table, go back through process, new information, get with the developer. Mr, Weiss said — wait for Emily to talk to Anette and Bill, thanks for excellent presentation, let them decide. Mr. Fereday added that City doesn't require AAC approval, Mr. Stromberg says - can you make a motion, no, not an action. Emily will take it from here. Mr. Anderson asked — remember River Ranch, several encouraged City to create av easement, prominent attorneys here in town, weak doc, representing dev. Point that out, city doesn't have history of paying attention. Mr. Stromberg mentioned the Boise doc. Chairman Jones brought up - language standpoint, Driggs RPZ condos, city coop, av easement doc RE10 form, you are living. strong language. Golf course. Sold all lots. 15 degree turn, 2°d and 3`d homeowners. Can get Driggs plan. Mr. Anderson stated — engage Realtors, reference good av easement.
