down a little. Commissioner Jackson an Commissioner Jensen concurred.

DECISION REGARDING REQUEST SUBMITTED BY JON GREGORY FOR ROAD EASEMENT NORTH
OF THE ARCHERY RANGE

Present: Paul Rogers- County Legal Counsel
Marcus Mickelsen- Landowner
Karen Hoskins- Citizen
Jon Gregory- Landowner
Via Zoom: Addie Jo Jackman- Planning & Development Assistant Director.

The Board met to make a decision regarding the request submitted by Jon Gregory for a road easement
north of the archery range.

Paul Rogers explained during the meeting last week, research was to be done in order to see if Bingham
County has mining rights on the property, wherein it was confirmed that to be correct and the county does
have mining rights. Chairman Manwaring stated that he confirmed with Dusty Whited, Public Works
Director, that the property is still a gravel source. Chairman Manwaring stated that the request was to put
a road on the north side of the archery range and during the previous meetings held, the archery range
have not been in favor of the proposal, due to the health, safety and welfare of the citizens.

Chairman Manwaring stated when there is an active gravel source, he does not believe the best use would
be to put a road through the middle of the rose pond area and if there were issues with the archery range,
that are could be used to mine gravel. The County has a Reclamation Plan and the plans are needed
pertaining to top soil, sloping, seeding, weeds, drainage and other items.

Chairman Manwaring stated that he has thought about this matter quite a bit and the more he thinks about
it and there being an active gravel pit, he is not opposed to development but would rather development
occur on left side of the pond as long as Mr. Gregory checks on the Reclamation Plan through the state,
that a road would be allowed through the states property. Chairman Manwaring stated that Mr. Gregory
would need to check with the state to get an easement as the first two ponds are state owned.

Commissioner Jackson stated that his concern is the safety of the citizens while archery is functioning and
that he does think it is important to maintain the ability to mine gravel in case the time comes when it is

needed.

Commissioner Jensen stated he feels that if the county did proceed and needed to mine gravel, the county
would have to void the contract with the archery range. Commissioner Jensen stated he is opposed to
approving the request because if there is an established road for the public, there would be distances to
provide a way from the road, which would limit the ability to mine gravel.

Paul Rogers stated along the existing road, there is a fence line that runs north of the property clear back
to the back of the property where there is partial 4x4 road but it is on the opposite side of the ponds and
the archery range.

Addie Jo Jackman, Planning & Development Assistant Director, stated that it looks like the road to the
archery range appears to be drawn out in GIS as a potential county roadway although it is gravel and she
is not sure if that will play a factor in the decision. Ms. Jackman stated in looking at the documentation
pertaining to the Reclamation Plan, it also appears that the existing roadway is depicted on the Reclamation
Plan and that she has further documentation she would like to convey. Ms. Jackman stated that Planning
& Development is committed to maintaining a mutual and unbiased position and her responsibility includes
assisting property owner in achieving the highest and best use of their property while also supporting the
Board of County Commissioners and the residents of Bingham County by providing factual and relevant
information that may not be readily known during discussions. In doing so, there is somewhat of an
established precedence for this type of arrangement.

In the previous circumstance, she recalls that the county granted access through another gravel pit owned
and operated by the County, to a parcel that the County auctioned off on McDonaldville Road in the
Groveland Area. The current request is somewhat comparable and following similar access principals. It
looks like the Reclamation Plan is for 2-acre campsites at that site with some trees and what she believes
to be acommon entrance where the easement was granted.

Ms. Jackman stated she is aware there is a public safety issue that warrants attention, with the archery
range, that is located adjacent to the property and access in question. The operators of the archery range
seem to have openly acknowledged that arrows have left the boundaries of the leased property, which
again causes a safety concern not only for the requesting potential property owner but also for members of
the public who recreate in the area.

As both a Planner and avid archer hunter herself, she understands the personal responsibility that comes
with practicing safely, and she understands that things can happen, she wonders if there is perhaps an
opportunity to have a discussion at a separate time with the archery range individuals to maintain that
relationship but also maintain the safety of the public with the possibility of arrows leaving the range/leased
area.

Again, Ms. Jackman stated there may be somewhat of a precedence in granting access through county
owned gravel pits to private parcels. However, she is unaware if the county has denied legal access in a
similar circumstance. There are the acknowledge safety issues and to her understanding the potential future
property owner that is requesting access, is aware of the surrounding uses and is willing to implement
additional safety measures to address those concerns if necessary, such as a recorded acknowledgement
tied to the land that informs potential buyers of the existing and future land uses in the area and secure the
archery range lease and interest and operation on Bingham County property.

Chairman Manwaring clarified on the McDonaldville property easement and that the individual that farmed
the property wanted to move the pump over and would have to have the power pole moved out to fix the
berm. The county looked into the cost, which was over $20,000.00 and the parcel mentioned was one that
was not farmed and was weeds. Therefore, due to the cost of the project and the fact that it was not farmed,
the Board of County Commissioners made the decision to auction the parcel and a road was not put through
the middle of the farm property and came off of McDonaldville Road and was to the east edge of the
property. Chairman Manwaring stated that was auctioned off several years ago and nothing has been
developed on the property. Therefore, this is a different scenario than the current request before the Board.

Commissioner Jensen asked if the county allowed the road to go on the north side, it looks as though the
road would need to be built up and to fix the berm so it would be wide enough to have a 50-foot road, plus
the depth for the berm.

Chairman Manwaring stated that the applicant could either look at the proposed option and to obtain an
easement through the state.

Decision: Commissioner Jackson moved to deny the request for road easement to the North of the
archery range and through the middle of Bingham County property. Commissioner Jensen
seconded.

Commissioner Jackson amended his motion to add that the county would be willing to work with
the Applicant on the north side of Rose Ponds and with the Archery Range to ensure safety of the
county residents. Commissioner Jensen seconded the amendment. All voted in favor. The motion
carried.

DISCUSSION & POTENTIAL DECISION REGARDING THE PROPOSAL FOR AIRPORT HANGER
LEASE AT ROCKFORD AIRPORT- REQUESTED BY EARL PRESTON

Present: Earl Preston- Citizen
Paul Rogers- County Legal Counsel
Shawn Stimpson- Citizen

The Board met to hold discussion & make a potential decision regarding the proposal for airport hanger
lease at the Rockford Airport.

Earl Preston stated that he came to support Mr. Stimpson in requesting a lease similar to his for an airplane
hanger lease at the Rockford Airport.

Chairman Manwaring asked if the proposal was to place another building or just the spot, wherein Mr.
Stimpson stated that he would like to place a hanger. Mr. Preston stated that he has received approval of
the FFA for the building to be placed.

Mr. Rogers has reviewed the proposed Lease Agreement and had a few items of clarification, which were
that the date needed to be updated and there is no termination clause, which should be added to benefit
both parties. Chairman Manwaring stated that he would agree and that the termination clause should be

added.

Mr. Rogers referred to paragraph 3, which states Idaho Code Section 21-401, that code is specifically built
for airplane hangers but in that code, it refers to Idaho Code 31-836, which limits the Commissioners to
approve leases to people. Mr. Rogers referred to paragraph 3, which states Idaho Code 21-401, the term
of this lease is for a period of twenty (20) years commencing on the date of the execution of this agreement
but the lease can only be conducted for five (5) years.

Mr. Preston stated in conversation with previous legal counsel, there is a provision that allows the county
to lease for twenty (20) years. Chairman Manwaring stated that he recalls the same discussions and that
there was a provision for this matter.

Mr. Rogers stated if there is code that clarifies this concern, the lease agreement is ready for the Boards
approval once the addition is made of the termination clause.

Decision: Commissioner Jensen moved to approve and sign the Lease Contract with Shawn

Stimpson for an airplane hanger at Rockford Airport. Commissioner Jackson seconded. All voted
in favor. The motion carried.

Section Ill Drainage, |, Table 2- Culvert Requirements: All approaches will be designed for drainage with
culverts installed under the approach. Landowners will be continually responsible that the water from their
property will not flow onto the county’s right of way, and at no time will the land owner be allowed to fill in
the shoulder of the road or designed drainage areas of the road, build up the property, plug culverts, or
alter where the natural drainage flows. Refer to Bingham County Road Standards Yard and Public Roadway
Cross Section (Figure 8 on page 25) and Private Driveway Approach Cross Section Diagram (Figure 9 on
page 26).

If landowner presents a written report from a hydraulics engineer deeming that a culvert is unnecessary the
Bingham County Public Works Department may concur that a culvert is not required.

22

The edge of the road should be designed so the edge of the road is at least twelve inches (12”) above the

BOARD’S REVIEW OF PARCEL NO. RP0328500 LOCATED AT 105 N. 500 W., BLACKFOOT, IDAHO IN
AN “M1” LIGHT MANUFACTURING ZONE TO CONSIDER THE REQUEST OF POTENTIAL BUYER
TERESA SINNER TO CREATE A 0.50-ACRE PARCEL FOR THE EXISTING RESIDENCE. THE
PROPERTY IS AN ORIGINAL PARCEL WITH FOUR (4) DIVISION RIGHTS REMAINING. BINGHAM
COUNTY CODE SECTION 10-6-6(A)(5) AREA REGULATIONS STATES THAT THE MINIMUM
ACREAGE REQUIREMENTS IN A “M1” LIGHT MANUFACTURING ZONE IS ONE-ACRE UNLESS
OTHERWISE APPROVED BY THE BOARD

Present: Chris Street- HLE
Teresa Sinner- Potential Buyer
Gerald Wilmot- Owner
Jeremy Wilmot- Owner
Addie Jo Jackman- Planning & Development Assistant Director

The Board met to review Parcel No. RP0328500 located at 105 N. 500 W., Blackfoot, Idaho, in an M1 Light
Manufacturing Zone to consider the request of potential buyer Teresa Sinner to create a 0.50-acre parcel
for the existing residence. The property is an original parcel with four (4) division rights remaining. Bingham
County Code Section 10-6-6 (A)(5) Area Regulations, states that the minimum acreage requirements in an
M1 Light Manufacturing Zone is one-acre unless otherwise approved by the Board.

Addie Jo Jackman explained that Teresa Sinner had contacted Planning & Development with interest in
purchasing a property with a residential address of 105 N. 500 W., and a business address of 497 W.
Highway 26. The property is currently owned by JBW LLC, which consists of members Jeremy Wilmot,
Barbara Wilmot and Gerald Wilmot. Ms. Sinner does not want to finalize the purchase of the property until
the Board had reviewed and approved the record of survey that was provided and contains a proposed
parcel consisting of 0.50 acres in an M1 Light Manufacturing zone.

Bingham County Code Section 10-6-6(A)(5), Area Regulations, states that the minimum acreage
requirement in this specific zone is one-acre unless otherwise approved by the Board of County
Commissioners. Staff has reviewed the record of survey which appears to meet setback requirements to
existing structures and have worked with Dusty Whited, Public Works Director, who stated that any new
approach to a county or state road requires a permit. There are two existing approaches, one extends from
500 W Bond Road providing access to the residents and the other extends from Highway 26 providing
access to GNC Auto, which operates as an auto repair and maintenance business. A vehicle shop is an
allowed use in an M1 Light Manufacturing Zone pursuant to Bingham County Code Section 10-5-3 Land
Use Chart.

Ms. Sinner has expressed no intention of adding any new approaches and it is the understanding that she
would like to divide the property to provide more flexibility by keeping the home as an independent
residential parcel, allowing the remaining 1.24-acre parcel with the shop to potentially be leased or utilized
for its current purpose or another future business.

23

Ms. Jackman stated if the proposed 1.24-acre parcel is leased or sold to a new business in the future, Ms.
Sinner and the lessee or purchaser would need to work with Planning and Development Services to ensure
that the desired land use is an allowed use in an M1 Light Manufacturing zone before proceeding.

Ms. Jackman stated that staff would also like Ms. Sinner and the Wilmot’s, as well as any potential buyer,
to know that Bingham County Code Section 10-7-38, provides specific use performance standards for a
vehicle repair major and minor and states, where adjoining a residential property or zone, all repair activities
(including, but not limited to, open pits and lifts) shall occur within an enclosed structure and inoperable or
dismantled motor vehicles shall be stored behind a closed vision fence, wall or screen or within an enclosed
structure and shall not be visible from the street or a residential zone. Because Ms. Sinner has not finalized
the purchase of the property, the Board may consider adding a condition to the motion if approved, that the
approval is contingent upon purchase of the property and again she does have division rights.

Chairman Manwaring asked if the house has septic, to which Chris Street confirmed that both the house
and the shop are on shared well and sewer.

The Board had no concerns in regards to the submitted request.

Decision: Commissioner Jackson moved to approve the request submitted by Teresa Sinner, to
create a 0.50- acre parcel for the existing residence located at 105 N. 500 W., (RP0328500), pursuant
to Bingham County Code Section 10-6-6(A)(5). Commissioner Jensen seconded. All voted in favor.
The motion carried.

DISCUSSION & DECISION REGARDING CONTRACT BETWEEN BINGHAM COUNTY AND AAA GILES
JANITORIAL & CARPET CLEANING LLC- REQUESTED BY CRAIG GILES

Present: Jason Marlow- Building Maintenance
Craig Giles- AAA Giles Janitorial & Carpet Cleaning LLC
Paul Rogers- County Legal Counsel

The Board met to hold discussion and make a decision in regards to the contract between Bingham County
and AAA Giles Janitorial and Carpet Cleaning LLC.

Mr. Giles explained that he would like to ask the Board to consider renewing the cleaning contract and that
he would be willing to keep the contract verbiage on a fixed price for the five (5) years, with a potential 2-
3% increase each year to cover cost increase.

A brief discussion was held in regards to concerns that had been brought before the Board pertaining to
cleaning services throughout the courthouse.

The Board has no concerns in regards to a 5-year contract as proposed and add a 2% increase each year
following the first year.

Decision: Commissioner Jensen moved to approve and sign the proposed contract between
Bingham County and AAA Giles Janitorial and Carpet Cleaning LLC, with a 2% fixed increase each
year. Commissioner Jackson seconded. All voted in favor. The motion carried.

that are exempt from public disclosure. Commissioner Jackson moved to go into Executive Session

Commissioner Jensen seconded. Both in favor. The Board moved into Executive Session at 11:20 a.m.
Commissioner Jensen moved to go out of Executive Session. Chairman Manwaring seconded. The Board
moved out of Executive Session at 11:33 a.m.

DISCUSSION & DECISION REGARDING AREA OF IMPACT AGREEMENTS- REQUESTED BY
TIFFANY OLSEN

Present: Tiffany Olsen- Planning & Development Director
Paul Rogers- County Legal Counsel

The Board met to hold discussion and make a decision regarding the proposed Area of Impact Agreements.

Ms. Olsen explained that she had drafted a letter for each of the cities and that the Board has seen most
of what is included in the letter but it includes updated maps that show annexations from each of the cities
from the last 5-10 years. Ms. Olsen stated that is important as it is representative of the section of Idaho
Code that states that the impact area shall not exceed areas that are very likely to be annexed to the city
within the next 5 years.

Ms. Olsen gave a brief review of each proposed map that would be included with the letter sent to each city
and stated that the initiating party is liable for all notices.

Chairman Manwaring stated that he has a concern with the City of Blackfoot boundary and that impact area
was done approximately 20-25 years ago and there has only been a little bit of growth. Chairman Manwaring
stated that he would be more in favor of going west Porterville straight across and taking the added portion
out because the growth does not look like it is headed that way.

26

Ms. Olsen stated the intent with the letter was for the city to prove where they think their boundary should
be. If the Board would like to take a different direction with the City of Blackfoot and propose our boundaries
for them to consider, she would be happy to proceed that direction.

Chairman Manwaring stated when Scott Reese was Mayor, they had increased their Area of Impact out
that far and for whatever reason it has been that way for over 20 years. Commissioner Jackson asked if
there is a general area that the county is trying to scale back to, wherein Ms. Olsen stated it is about 2 miles
at its widest point and the county could propose a line showing one mile and that would bring down what is
there to Porterville Road as the Chairman suggested.

Ms. Olsen stated that it would be beneficial for the county to review the city’s proposed annexation areas
in the next 5 years and determine a suggested map at that point, which provides more of a conversation
tool.

Ms. Olsen stated that she will send out an email and mail the original documents, which is what she is
asking the Board to approve today, in order to proceed with negotiations as soon as possible.

All Commissioners were in favor.
Decision: Commissioner Jackson moved to allow Tiffany Olsen to sent out the letters and
attachments to initiate negotiations on the Area of Impact with each city. Commissioner Jensen

seconded. All voted in favor. The motion carried.

DISCUSSION & DECISION REGARDING EXPENDING OF GRANT FUNDING FOR THE BINGHAM
COUNTY HISTORICAL MUSEUM

Present: Pamela Eckhardt- County Clerk
Jason Marlow- Building Maintenance

The Board met to hold discussion and make a decision in regards to expending grant funding for the
Bingham County Historical Museum.

Clerk Eckhardt explained that the county has received an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant
in the amount of $76,610.00. Clerk Eckhardt stated that part of the process is that the county was to submit
what the funding would be used for, which had to be for replacement of equipment that increases energy
efficiency. Clerk Eckhardt stated that Jason Marlow did an excellent job on the courthouse and what he
would like to see done with the courthouse, what he would like to see done with the air handler and the
retrofit for Bingham County and other plans for the Bingham County Museum.

Clerk Eckhardt stated that the submitted request would be to replace the radiator heat with an energy
efficient system for heating and air conditioning. Jason has consulted with several local HVAC Companies
who believe they would be able to come up with a consistent and safer heating/cooling system and this
would benefit the community in preservation for future generations with approved energy efficiency and
conservation.
