Items of Business:
a. Public Hearings
i. Preliminary Plat Application — HLE, Inc., Pam Addition on the
Northwest corner of 49th North and 55th East. Steven Heath approached
the podium and stated that he was representing Harper Leavitt
Engineering. Mr. Heath stated his client desires to have three one-third
acre lots and one lot that would be one half -acre. Mr. Heath stated he had
spoken with Public Works Director, Zech Prouse, and was told the
property had access to City water and Iona Bonneville Sewer District
(IBSD) sewer, and that an eight inch pipe will be used for the water
hookup. Members discussed the proposed lots and the shape and size of
lot number four. Members discussed the location of the driveways for said
lots and inquired about the road being in the City or the County. Members
also discussed the close proximity of the proposed driveways and how
close they were to the intersection of Telford Road and 55th North. Mr.
Heath returned to his seat and Chairman West asked the audience if
anyone was for, neutral or opposed to the Plat Application. Dustin
Haderlie approached the podium and stated he lives near the property and
stated he is concerned with the current speed limit of 55th North and the
close proximity of the properties to the intersection. Member Johnson
stated his concern of four driveways within the span of 368 feet and the
close proximity to the intersection. He suggested a change in the speed
limit just north of the property where there are homes that have been
annexed into the City would make it much safer. Mr. Heath approached
the podium and Chairman West asked him if he had received the
documents from Forsgren Engineering with the necessary changes. Mr.
Heath answered that he had received them and they were making the
necessary adjustments. Member Hart stated the setback of thirty five feet
for the proposed properties might not be enough in the event that the road
expands to a five lane road. Chairman West entertained a motion. Member
