RED FOX SUBDIVISION - BRAD PICKETT
e APPEAL OF THE FORMAL DECISION MADE BY THE ROAD & BRIDGE AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS REQUIRING

ADHERENCE TO THE JEFFERSON COUNTY ENGINEERING ROAD STANDARDS - (ACTION ITEM)
9:27:49 AM The Board held discussion on the appeal regarding required compliance with Jefferson County Engineering Road
Standards for the Red Fox Subdivision. Jefferson County Engineer Sam Scott, and Public Works Administrator Mike Carter, recommended
adherence to the recently adopted county engineering standards, including a 42-foot roadway section for long-term connectivity and safety
within the Area of Impact and anticipated future annexation areas. They also noted concerns regarding roadway narrowing between
developments, emergency access, drainage capacity, and consistency with adjacent city standards. Sam Scott discussed the importance
of consistency with adjacent subdivisions and future connectivity, including anticipated 42-foot road sections in surrounding developments.
Brad Pickett - the subdivision was originally approved in 2011 and argued it should be considered under prior standards. He expressed
concern regarding the application of updated requirements and noted prior investment in engineering and surveying work under the earlier
approval. Jefferson County legal counsel Chase Hendricks, referenced Idaho Code provisions regarding existing plats and indicated that
while prior plats remain valid, access permits and infrastructure must comply with current applicable highway and engineering standards.
During deliberations, the Board considered balancing existing plat approvals with current safety, access, drainage, and connectivity
requirements. Red Fox Subdivision will be allowed to proceed contingent upon execution of a Development Agreement, including the
following conditions:

o East/West access and ingress/egress improvements consistent with engineering design standards (including roadway width and

tapering as determined by the County Engineer);
o Completion and compliance with a traffic study, including coordination with adjacent the stakeholder - the LDS church, and
agreement by the developer to implement required findings;

o Road construction to meet former Jefferson County roadway standards, including a 30-foot standard;

o Maintenance of roadside swales in accordance with County standards, including incorporation into HOA covenants;

o Inclusion of appropriate clear zone/right-of-way maintenance requirements; and

o Requirement for an Engineer of Record to oversee and certify construction and documentation compliance.
10:43:49 AM Motion by Commissioner Young to approve Red Fox Subdivision road construction with a development
agreement that includes the east/west egress to be widened to 42 feet and narrowed through engineering design standards
determined by Sam Scott, and agreeing to work with the Church of Latter Day Saints for the traffic study and following the
requirements that are determined, and that they construct 30-foot roads, and that HOA covenants require that the swells be
