Items of Business:
Preliminary Plat Application for Thomasville Estates Subdivision — Rockwell Homes —
Public Hearing — 7:15 p.m.: Mayor Andersen explained the public hearing process and asked
representatives to present the application.
Kurt Roland with Eagle Rock Engineering located at 1330 Fremont Avenue in Idaho Falls, ID
explained he was representing Rockwell Homes for the proposed Thomasville Estates
Subdivision. He commented the preliminary plat consists of 110 '/z - acre lots with sidewalks and
drainage swells. He noted curb and gutter was not part of the proposal. He further described
establishing a three way intersection at Rushton Road and Olsen Avenue.
Greg Hansen the Vice President of Rockwell Homes located at 5659 Veil Drive in Ammon, ID
expressed they really wanted to make this development as positive as possible for the City of
Iona. They decided to go in with larger lots as it would be more accommodating to what the City
of Iona has expressed they prefer on past developments. He explained it has also been suggested
to change the name from Thomasville Estates to Willow Creek Subdivision and name the streets
after the early pioneers. Mr. Hansen expressed they were not opposed to making those changes.
1
Mr. Hansen discussed some of the challenges that exist in planning the new development which
were establishing proper infrastructure and supplying water. He explained in regards to
establishing infrastructure they look to professional recommendations and what is already in
place. He referenced the review letter by City Engineer Paul Scoresby with Schiess & Associates
dated June 3, 2016. He explained they understood water is a precious commodity for the City of
Iona right now, and they have a couple of suggestions on how they could help accommodate that.
First option is to have Rockwell Homes pay up front the $3,000 water connection fee for each lot
for a total of approximately $330,000 to put towards constructing a new pump house. Second
option is establish a secondary irrigation system.
Mayor Andersen opened the public portion of the hearing; those in favor, none; neutral one;
opposed two.
Alban Hatch located at 4201 N. Rushton Circle expressed appreciation towards the larger lots
and larger homes to help balance out some of the other development happening in the area. Mr.
Hatch explained he owns the ground contiguous to the east side of the proposed subdivision
which is approximately 280 feet wide. He expressed plans to develop the land in the future and
was concerned when the development does go there is a street which goes from the west to the
east connecting the ground between Iona Road and the subdivision which will only leave
approximately 110 feet on each side of the road with the required 70 foot right away. As a result
it will only allow for smaller lots because of the way the land is laid out. Mr. Hatch suggested
perhaps fewer streets from the west to the east would allow for larger lots to be developed on his
12 acres and should be considered in the final plat proposal for Thomasville Estates.
Jerry Hansen located at 5041 N. 55 E. expressed opposition towards the proposed development
and shared concerns regarding increased traffic flow into the City. He explained if there is one
access road out on 49th (Telford Road) and two access roads on Main Street and Olsen Street
from his perspective the traffic would be diverted into the City. He further explained 49th
(Telford Road) is designated to be a 5 lane highway in the future. Mr. Hansen also expressed
concerns about safety for the school kids that walk to and from school.
Mayor Andersen requested Clerk Roberts enter into the record Bryce Contor's written response.
Mr. Contor expressed opposition towards the proposed development, "Exhibit A.
Greg Hansen Vice President of Rockwell Homes asked questions in regards to Mr. Hatch's
contiguous property for clarification. Mr. Hatch explained his 12 acres of land is only 280 feet
wide and runs the length of the proposed subdivision from south to north. As a result of
Rockwell's preliminary plat for Thomasville Estates and the way the streets are outlined it will
probably only leave room for smaller lots perhaps patio homes to be developed on his land. Mr.
Hansen acknowledged it was a valid concern and explained the layout of streets are taken from
recommendations of professionals, but they are open to traffic studies and other suggestions.
Louise Bryan located at 5439 Steele asked Mr. Hansen to outline all of the access roads of the
proposed development. Mr. Hansen explained on the corner of Olsen Street and Rushton Road it
would turn into a three way stop and would continue north into the subdivision and on Main
2
Street it would connect straight into the subdivision and would continue to 49th (Telford Road).
Ms. Bryan inquired why they are only proposing one access point off of 49th (Telford Road).
Mr. Roland with Eagle Rock Engineering explained the reason for proposing one access road off
of 49th (Telford Road) opposed to two is because of a right hand turn lane which requires 300
feet. If they were to put two access roads in they wouldn't have the required 300 feet which
would be a safety issue for traffic coming off of 49th
Mr. Roland commented in regards to the safety of the school kids there is state funding the City
can work with Safe Routes to School to obtain.
Mayor Andersen closed the public portion of the hearing.
Council Member Garren inquired what the total width of the property is on its north boundary
from east to west. Mr. Roland responded it was 1402.75 feet. Council Member Garren discussed
revising the plat to allow for two access roads off of 49th (Telford Road) and there being
adequate room to allow for that. He expressed the biggest complaint they have heard is the
increased traffic in the City. Council President Gubler agreed with Council Member Garren there
shouldn't be a problem to create two access points off of 49th (Telford Road) and still have more
than 300 feet for a right hand turn lane. He expressed he would like to see those two roads
contiguous to the already existing city streets as it would help elevate congestion and allow for
more outlets. Mr. Hansen expressed it is definitely something to consider. Mayor Andersen
recommended seeking council from the Bonneville Metropolitan Planning Organization
(BMPO).
Mayor Andersen asked if the representatives had an opportunity to review the letter from Schiess
& Associates dated June 3, 2016 which outlines the findings and conclusions. Representatives
acknowledged they did. Mayor Andersen expressed a lot of the items the City Engineer
addressed in his letter will be what the City will be considering.
Public Works Director Prouse inquired if Rockwell Homes had received approval from Iona
Bonneville Sewer District (IBSD). Mr. Hansen responded they did talk with IBSD which gave
them a verbal approval, but still need to get written approval as they move forward. Director
Prouse inquired if IBSD outlined the need for any lift stations. Mr. Roland responded they have
measured elevations for this particular project which will not require a lift station.
Mayor Andersen inquired if installing fencing along the back side of each property was
something Rockwell was willing to do. Mr. Hansen responded normally they do not install
fences but will on occasion when there is a safety issue such as a lot close to canal. He further
explained they like to leave that up to the buyer. However, they do establish subdivision
covenants for uniformity. Mayor Andersen referenced developments along Iona Road where
fences have been installed. Mr. Hansen responded they have installed fences on busy roads. He
acknowledged 49th is a busy road and if that is a recommendation from the City they will
consider that. Chief Bowcutt expressed concerns 49th (Telford Road) has a fast speed limit and
from his perspective is a safety issue.
3
Mayor Andersen inquired in regards to the recommendation for a new pump house at the north
east corner of the subdivision if Rockwell was willing to give one or two lots to accommodate
that. Mr. Hansen responded absolutely.
Mayor Andersen inquired in regards to changing the name to Willow Creek Subdivision and
naming the streets after the first pioneers if Rockwell Homes was willing to make that change.
Mr. Hansen expressed he thought that was a great idea.
Director Prouse suggested if Main Street was connected to reconstruct it from Steele Avenue and
remove the existing chip seal because the condition it is in now is not going to support any
additional traffic. Mr. Hansen expressed that is something they would have to look into and
calculate costs.
Council President Gubler asked for clarification if Rockwell Homes would be incurring the cost
to rework the three way intersection at Rushton Road and Olsen Avenue. The representatives
acknowledged that was correct.
Director Prouse asked if they had any additional information on a secondary irrigation system.
Mr. Hansen expressed there are a couple of things they are struggling with in regards to it. He
explained they looked at several other cities and counties in the area for a model of secondary
irrigation systems that are working and haven't found one yet. However, there is a model out of
Kaysville, UT which has shown success. Additionally, the cost is high to establish the
infrastructure. He explained the owner of Rockwell Homes Paul Johnson had a really good idea
for consideration. He suggested instead of Rockwell Homes putting the cost into constructing
infrastructure for a secondary irrigation system, to apply those funds towards the new well for
the City of Iona, which would be in addition to the regular water connection fees. Director
Prouse commented it will not solve the problem long term.
Director Prouse inquired if Rockwell Homes was willing to contribute additional funds if the
requirement for a secondary irrigation system was abandoned. Mr. Hansen expressed everything
discussed tonight would have to be taken back and outlined in detail to see if it makes financial
sense. Director Prouse inquired if they would be opposed to putting water meters on the new
subdivision. Mr. Hansen expressed no as they have done it in other subdivisions.
Mr. Hansen inquired where the City was at this time in being able to accept another 110 '/2 acre
lots to the water system. Council President Gubler explained the City is in the middle of
negotiating a purchase of water rights and their ability to accept this development is contingent
upon that. Mayor Andersen commented without water rights, secondary irrigation, or installation
of water meters on the new development, the City can't support the development since it has to
provide for its existing customers first.
Council President Gubler expressed the City should know relatively quickly within the next
couple of months whether they will be able to successfully acquire the additional water rights,
and asked if Rockwell would be willing to take the suggestions presented by the City Council
and Planning and Zoning to incorporate into a revised plat and meet in a work session to outline
any other details. Mr. Hansen expressed he was open to that idea.
4
Mr. Hansen expressed he would prefer not to table it as it would require going through the public
hearing process again and suggested the preliminary plat be approved with conditions imposed
as an indication of what the City Council is looking for so they can move in forward in that
direction.
Mayor Andersen expressed he did not have an issue with that as long as Rockwell understood the
biggest issue is water and the preliminary plat would be contingent upon that.
Council President Gubler inquired which part of the land would first be developed. Mr. Hansen
explained the plan was to start on the south end of the development. Council Member McNamara
expressed to Mr. Hansen they would prefer the construction start on the north end of the land to
avoid the construction going through the City. Council Member Geray suggested a construction
rough road from north to south to alleviate contractors driving through the City. Mr. Hansen
explained they can certainly make a construction rough road but legally they can't require
contractors to use it because they are public roads.
Mr. Hansen asked for clarification if the traffic study was something they needed to hire
someone to conduct or if the City was going to hire someone to do the traffic study. Council
Member Geray outlined to Mr. Hansen it should be conducted according to the review letter
prepared by Paul Scoresby with Schiess & Associates.
Mayor Andersen entertained a motion. Council Member Geray moved to approve the
preliminary plat subject to the following conditions: 1) full alignment with the Schiess &
Associates recommendations and conclusions as they have outlined in their June 3, 2016
correspondence, including specifically the traffic study to be reviewed by BMPO, 2) changes to
the plat as discussed with Council President Gubler regarding pushing Main Street and Olsen
Street all the way through to the north end of the plat, and 3) contingent upon results of water
rights acquisition with other additional details to be sorted out later. Council President Gubler
seconded the motion. The approval of the preliminary plat Exhibit `B", was taken by a roll call
vote:
Council Member Geray: YES Council President Gubler: YES
Council Member Garren: YES Council Member McNamara: YES
De -annexation Request: Jerry Hansen located at 5041 N. 55 E. explained he is requesting his
property be de -annexed from the City of Iona so he can return it back to Bonneville County and
rezone it from residential to agricultural, Exhibit C. Mr. Hansen expressed since his land was
annexed into the City, and he started making plans to develop it and has discovered the costs he
is going to incur, it is not worth it. Mr. Hansen explained he approached the City Council about
this during last month's meeting and they recommended he take it first in front of Planning and
Zoning. Mr. Hansen explained from his perspective during that meeting they didn't come up
with any answers and kicked him back to the City Council. Clerk Roberts clarified Planning and
Zoning's recommendation was to go back and hold a public hearing since it is a land issue.
Attorney Storer inquired if Mr. Hansen considered leaving it in the City's boundaries and
rezoning it back to agricultural. Mr. Hansen responded what he would really like to do with the
property is build a house above it. Attorney Storer explained to Mr. Hansen he wouldn't have the
5
issues with water, sewer, and access if you put it back into agricultural with a single family
home. Mr. Hansen expressed he would be willing to leave it in the City boundaries and rezone it
back to agricultural.
Mayor Andersen acknowledged when Mr. Hansen requested annexation the cart was put before
the horse so to speak, as they were trying to make accommodations for Mr. Hansen and it was a
good lesson learned on both sides.
Mayor Andersen inquired if a public hearing would need to be held to rezone the land. Attorney
Storer responded yes. Mr. Hansen inquired if it was going to cost him another $400.00 fee for
that process. Mayor Andersen informed Mr. Hansen the City would pay for it.
After further discussion, it was decided a public hearing would be held at the next meeting for
Mr. Hansen to request rezoning his land from residential back to agricultural.
Discussion and Approval of Bid for Water Tank Project — Keller Associates: Marvin
Fielding with Keller Associates announced they held open bids for the water tank improvement
on May 26th and received one bid. He explained there was other interest earlier on, but because
of the intent for qualifications to capture the specialties of this project they were not able to
participate. The award went to Steele Design, LLC and DN Tanks as the subcontractor. The total
bid was $154,203.
Mr. Fielding discussed the cracks on the wall of the tank and explained the original presentation
to the City Council suggested injecting those from the exterior with pressure grout. However,
right before the bid DN Tanks approached Keller Associates with a recommendation to first seal
all the cracks from the inside and grout from the exterior because there is still a chance the water
could get to the reinforcing steel on the inside. Mr. Fielding commented if the City Council were
to go that route it would cost an additional $25,000.
Mayor Andersen opened a discussion regarding the type of roofing material that would be used
on the project. Council President Gubler inquired if the Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) was
recommended as the best option. Mr. Fielding acknowledged that was correct.
Mayor Andersen asked what the recoat interior piping was for $3,125. Mr. Fielding explained it
is in regards to the overflow piping where there is rust developing. He further explained initially
it wasn't presented to the City Council, but came through as a recommendation from the bid.
Council President Gubler asked when construction would begin. Mr. Fielding explained the plan
is to begin work in September when the high water usage months have ended.
Mayor Andersen entertained a motion. Council Member Geray moved to approve the bid as
presented plus the $25,000 for the interior crack repair, plus the $14,486 for the TPO membrane
roofing material, and the $3,125 for the recoating of the interior piping for a grand total of
$196,814. Council Member McNamara seconded the motion. The bid for the water tank Exhibit
"D", was approved by a roll call vote:
Council Member Geray: YES Council President Gubler: YES
6
Council Member Garren: YES Council Member McNamara: YES
Discussion of Amending Sections 8-2-3 and 8-2-27 Relating to the Management and
Control of the City's Water System and the Authority to Place Water Meters: Mayor
Andersen explained during the City Council meeting held on March 15th, 2016 the Council
determined not to pass a proposed ordinance change during a public hearing due to verbiage
which still needed to be worked through. He asked Attorney Storer to incorporate some of the
language changes which were discussed during that meeting since the final decision was they
would look at the language in more detail and get back with them. Mayor Andersen explained he
would like to have a discussion and gather input on the additional verbiage, Exhibit E.
Council President Gubler asked Attorney Storer to clarify what the advisory vote would allow.
Attorney Storer explained it would essentially give the City Council guidance on what the
citizens wanted, but does not bind the City Council to do anything. Attorney Storer outlined
subsection 8 of the ordinance which includes a notice provision in which the habitual waster
would have an opportunity to appear before the City Council and explain their situation before a
meter was put on.
Mayor Andersen commented he recalled the biggest issue with the previous proposed verbiage
changes is it wouldn't give the City Council the ability to deal with a single habitual water
waster as it would require going out for a vote. Council President Gubler acknowledged that was
correct, but explained the City hasn't defined what waste is.
Director Prouse commented after this summer the City may be closer in being able to gather
enough data to determine what the average use is for each lot size. Director Prouse reported
based on the numbers which have been recorded since the installation of the data meters several
homes are above the average unnecessarily.
Mayor Andersen noted one of the biggest things that came out of the Water Committee was not
installing water meters, but increasing enforcement efforts.
Council President Gubler suggested tabling this topic for discussion until the necessary data has
been collected to define what waste is and at that time come up for a solution regarding
enforcement. Director Prouse commented he would bring the readings which have been collected
so far for review to a future meeting.
Mayor Andersen asked when the 25 data collection meters were installed. Director Prouse
responded March lst, 2016. Council President Gubler and Director Prouse discussed the majority
of the usable data will be collected at the end of the highest usage months so it wouldn't be
necessary to wait for an entire year and could begin discussion as early as Fall of 2016.
After further discussion, it was determined discussions defining what waste is would be tabled
until appropriate data was collected.
Quitclaim Deed — Shane Williams & Julie Buckwalter: Mayor Andersen explained the
intention of this quitclaim deed is to correct an improper quitclaim deed which was done
previously to Kevin and Renee Oswald. He further explained the public right-of-way was
7
quitclaim instead of a piece of private property to the previous homeowners and the new
homeowners Shane Williams & Julie Buckwalter brought it to the City's attention.
Mayor Andersen entertained a motion. Council President Gubler moved to approve the
amendment of ordinance number 104, ordinances of the City of Iona, Idaho; repealing section 9
of such ordinance; vacating a portion of Dayton street in the City of Iona, Idaho; authorizing and
directing the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute and deliver on behalf of the City a quitclaim
deed vacating a portion of Dayton street in the City of Iona conveying the vacated street to the
homeowner of the adjacent land, and naming them; providing for effective date of ordinance.
Council Member Garren seconded the motion. Approval of the amendment and quitclaim deed
Exhibit "F" was approved by a roll call vote:
Council Member Geray: YES Council President Gubler: YES
Council Member Garren: YES Council Member McNamara: YES
2015 Water Quality Report: Mayor Andersen presented the 2015 Water Quality Report which
is required to be done by July 1st of every year, Exhibit G. He reported the City received no
violations for 2015. He noted two corrections and asked Clerk Roberts to make those. Mayor
Andersen noted the 2015 Water Quality Report is available in the City office and on the City
website for review.
Discussion and Review of Continuation of Water Committee: Mayor Andersen reported this
was discussed earlier during the City Council Work Meeting. He explained the Water Committee
has been working for over a year now to list priorities for the City Council to move forward on.
For the time being, the Water Committee would discontinue until it was necessary to reinstate it
similar to 2008.
Mayor Andersen entertained a motion. Council Member Garren moved to disband the Water
Committee based on the completion of the objectives for this period of time and acknowledged
appreciation for the citizens who fulfilled that duty and will remain disbanded until necessary to
reestablish it again. Council McNamara second the motion. Approval to disband the Water
Committee was approved by a roll call vote:
Council Member Geray: YES Council President Gubler: YES
Council Member Garren: YES Council Member McNamara: YES
Discussion and Approval of Ralph Steele Property: Mayor Andersen reported the family will
sell the property for $35,000 with the stipulation the City name it historically after the Steele
family. He explained potential uses for the future could be for t-ball, another quiet park, senior
center, or new city office.
Mayor Andersen entertained a motion. Council Member Geray made a motion to purchase the
property for $35,000 and committing to name it after the Steele Family. Council President
Gubler seconded the motion. Approval to purchase the Ralph Steele Family property was
approved by a roll call vote:
Council Member Geray: YES Council President Gubler: YES
8
Council Member Garren: YES Council Member McNamara: YES
Attorney Storer clarified a purchase agreement should be drafted, and brought back to City
Council for final review and approval.
Discussion and Approval of Payment Arrangements for Water Rights Acquisition: Mayor
Andersen reported this topic would be tabled for future discussion.
Discussion and Appointment of Michael Thompson for Planning and Zoning Commission:
Mayor Andersen introduced Michael Thompson and explained he approached him a few weeks
ago regarding opportunities to get involved in the community. With the recent vacancy on the
Planning and Zoning Commission, Mayor Andersen let Mr. Thompson know there was an
opportunity to serve his community and asked him if he was interested.
Michael Thompson located at 3069 Sawmill Circle explained he has lived in the City of Iona
since February of 2014 with his wife and kids and is employed at Melaleuca. Mr. Thompson
expressed he would like to get involved with the City his family has decided to settle down in.
Mayor Andersen explained to Mr. Thompson the discussion would need to go in front of the
Planning and Zoning Commission first to receive a recommendation and then back to City
Council for final approval of his appointment. Mayor Andersen informed Mr. Thompson the
next Planning and Zoning meeting was scheduled for Wednesday July 13tn
Discussion of New City Code — Construction Ordinance: Council Member Geray reported
this was discussed during the work meeting. He explained Chief Bowcutt brought up issues
which have been occurring with Rockwell Homes starting work very early and disturbing the
peace in the Country Haven subdivision and wanted to explore having a city code which covered
start and stop times for construction work. Council Member Geray further explained Chief
Bowcutt believes there is an existing code which outlines start and stop times from Bonneville
County.
Attorney Storer noted Bonneville County's ordinances do not apply to the City of Iona. He
recommended the City not adopt an ordinance which prohibits construction work before a certain
time and use the existing nuisance ordinance which prohibits engaging in any activity which
disturbs the peace and tranquility of the neighborhood. Director Prouse noted the nuisance
ordinance could be found in Title 5, Chapter 8, and Subsection 1.
July 4tn Parade Discussion: Mayor Andersen reported this topic was discussed during the work
meeting, and explained an individual contacted him with interest to organize a 4tn of July parade.
However, it was determined there wasn't enough time to plan for such an event but would be
potentially interested next year.
Iona Days Discussion: Mayor Andersen reported this agenda item was discussed during the
work meeting.
Street Tree Discussion: Mayor Andersen reported this agenda item was discussed during the
work meeting.
9
Discussion of Residential Pools: Mayor Andersen explained he was approached by a citizen
with a concern regarding the large pools in the City that do not have fences around them. The
citizen expressed they could be dangerous to children and recommended an ordinance regulation.
Council President Gubler commented it was a slippery slope. Attorney Storer agreed with
Council President Gubler and further explained once the duty has been assumed then there are
obligations and liability associated with such. After further discussion, it was determined an
ordinance regulation was not necessary as it is the responsibility of the parents to watch their
children.
Discussion of Renting City Park for Post Registers NIE Group: Mayor Andersen explained
the City was approached by the Post Register to rent the whole park for a non-profit fundraising
organization called Newspaper in Education (NIE). It would include a run and activities
throughout the whole day. He further explained they asked what the cost would be to rent out the
entire park and if the City was interested in being a sponsor. After further discussion, it was
determined to charge them for both shelters as they have done for other citizens in the past and
make sure they understand the expectation of cleaning up. Additionally, it was determined the
City was not interested in being a sponsor at this time.
Reports:
No Reports.

Dear Mayor and City Council:
This letter is written input for the Public Hearing to be held on June 28 regarding the
proposed subdivision north of town. I will attempt to attend and testify, but I ask that
you enter this comment into the public record in case I am unable to.
This letter is written from the assumption that the subdivision will go in, and that the
only question before the City Council is whether to annex or not to annex.
I am opposed to annexation on three grounds:
1) Quality of Life. Quality of life would be reduced by construction and residential
traffic if the subdivision were connected to Iona city streets. This would affect Iona
residents north of Iona Road, and especially those of us on Olsen and Main Streets.
If we annex, I am sure we will have to connect the subdivision to City streets. If we
do not annex, the City can alter its road rights of way so that the only connection to
the subdivision would be crash barriers or plastic pylons for emergency -only access.
In that case, all the subdivision traffic would go out on Telford, and nearly all of it
from there to Beeches Corner. Iona would be largely unaffected.
2) Ongoing Cost vs. Revenue. In the past I have provided you with the quote from the
Iona City Plan, and additional documentation, that residential development typically
generates more costs than it does revenues. At the Planning and Zoning meeting I
made this comment and the Rockwell representative stated in his rebuttal that all
the infrastructure would be new and that there would be very little cost to the city.
That may be true in the short run, but the infrastructure will not stay new. From my
review of the City budget I think Rockwell's representation is optimistic at best and
unrealistic.

Exhibit "A"
3) Initial Costs. At the Planning and Zoning meeting, the Rockwell representative
indicated that the offer to pay in advance $330,000 of hookup fees was to finance a
new well to serve the subdivision. I believe that $330,000 is inadequate to
construct a municipal well, and wholly inadequate to both construct a well and
obtain water rights for it.
At the Planning and Zoning meeting it was also discussed that other infrastructure
improvements must be made within the existing City, to accommodate the
subdivision. These are related mostly to the increased traffic load that inevitably will
occur if the subdivision is connected to City streets.
I realize there are arguments to consider annexation, and strong momentum for doing
so. Before the City commits to a perpetual stream of tens of thousands of dollars of
cost each year, and to connecting this new subdivision to existing city streets, I ask that
you make a one-time expenditure of a few tens of thousands of dollars to do three
things:
1) Rigorously quantify the City costs that will go up if the subdivision is developed, but
not annexed or connected to City streets.
2) Rigorously quantify the long term cost and revenue changes that will occur if the
subdivision is developed and annexed.
3) Rigorously quantify all the up -front costs that the City will be subjected to if the
subdivision is annexed. These include but probably are not limited to:
a) Well and water rights;
b) Water main improvements up to the point(s) of connection to the new
subdivision;
c) Street improvements to Olsen and Main, including widening, curb and gutter,
and pavement sufficient to withstand three to five years of construction traffic;
d) Sidewalks and safe paths to school;
e) Lighting.
2
I ask that these evaluations be undertaken by qualified professionals. The engineering
firm that has been advising the City on water infrastructure is well qualified to do the
third task, but I do not believe their expertise extends to the first two.
When the studies are complete, I ask that if the decision is still to annex, the conditions
of annexation be such that the increased costs to the current residents are no more
than the costs that would be incurred if the subdivision were to proceed without
annexation and without connection to Iona City Streets.
Thank you,
Brycd'A. Contor
