CENTER
PRESENT: Chairman Dan Garren; members Rob Geray, Roy Hobbs, Mike Taylor, and Clerk
Robyn Keyes.
ABSENT: Chad Stanger, Bette Lovinus.
VISITORS: Glen Clark, Steve Serr, Zech Prouse, Mayor Andersen, Council member Bruce
Case.
Impact Area Discussion. Chairman Garren welcomed everyone and explained the reason for the
meeting was to discuss the proposed increase for the City's impact area and receive input from
each of the entities involved: Iona Bonneville Sewer District, Bonneville County Planning and
Zoning, Iona Public Works, Iona Planning and Zoning, and representatives from the Iona City
Council.
Clerk Keyes said Chad Stanger from Idaho Falls Public Works could not attend the meeting, but
he said he would address the issue within the next two weeks.
Chairman Garren explained the proposed increase as follows:
From the existing southern boundary along Lincoln Road, extending the impact area east to the
intersection of the Bone Road and Lincoln Road; from this point straight north to the intersection
with highway 26; from the intersection with highway 26 in a southwestern direction that follows
highway 26 to the existing western boundary of Iona's impact area.
Garren said there was a mistake with the verbiage for the southern boundary: it was not along
Lincoln Road but rather about one-half mile to the south.
Everyone took a moment to review the map and the proposed changes.
Mayor Andersen said another reason for the meeting was State Statute recommends that impact
area agreements are reviewed at least once every ten years: the current agreement was up for
review.
Steve Serr recommended the City extend its southern boundary due east to meet at a right angle
with the eastern boundary instead of going north to Lincoln Road then east to meet with the
eastern boundary.
Chairman Garren said the map showed that the city of Ammon's northern boundary was in the
same area, which was why the City went up to Lincoln Road to go around Ammon's boundaries.
Steve Serr said he was fairly certain Ammon did not have impact area boundaries that went to
Lincoln Road to the east.
1
Steve Serr also recommended the City extend its eastern boundary to the nearest section line.
Pz member Hobbs asked Glen Clark for insight to the sewer district's policy and standpoint
regarding the City's proposal.
Glen Clark said the sewer district could manage new hook-ups for the expansion to the east, but
the sewer district could only provide service to 65'I' to the north: anything beyond that they did
not have the infrastructure in place and he was not sure if the City of Idaho Falls could handle
the increased volume.
Steve Serr said Benton Engineering said each line within the sewer district was near.
Glen Clark said the sewer district had a 21 inch line to the west and it was not anywhere near
reaching capacity.
PZ member Taylor asked if the County would allow septic systems to the area north of 65th
Stever Serr said the County would not allow a development to occur and add 100's of septic
systems.
Mayor Andersen said septic systems were not good for the ground water.
Glen Clark said the sewer district was a different entity than it was a few years ago, and the
board was willing to work with the City and future growth.
Mayor Andersen asked if the City could increase the impact area as proposed.
Steve Serr said if the area can be serviced the Commission would be willing to allow expansion.
Mayor Andersen asked how long it would take for the treatment facility to be able to meet the
volume demands for the increase.
Steve Serr said to expect at least 10 years for the first phase of expansion, then perhaps another
10 years for full expansion.
Chairman Garren suggested that once the demand for developing the land became evident the
capacity issues would possibly resolve themselves. However, the City would like to have a say in
the development.
Mayor Andersen agreed and said he would like to have an agreement in place so when the
development began the City would be in line to manage the growth. The Mayor suggested
implementing a letter of insurance from Panorama Hills that they would accept annexation to the
City once development in the area began.
2
Stever Serr said if the City can show it is viable then the Commission would allow expansion to
Panorama Hills.
Mayor Andersen said once the land was obtained, then the water rights could be procured, wells
could be installed, and the situation would become viable.
PZ member Taylor suggested only increasing the impact area to 65th to the north.
Mayor Andersen agreed and suggested following the sewer district north boundary to the east to
meet up with the proposed eastern boundary. In other words, reword the impact expansion to say
the City would extend to the sewer districts boundaries to the north and the east.
Chairman Garren recommended the City rescind the original expansion proposal and redraw the
boundary increase in concurrence with the sewer district and area that was serviceable.
Everyone agreed.
Chairman Garren thanked everyone for their time.
Title 11 Review. The Planning and Zoning commission reviewed Title 11 Chapter 2, 6, and 7 in
