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.

Drainage, Table 2- Culvert Requirements, which would show as follows: 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 other property.

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 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. THE MOTION PASSED TO DISMISS UNTIL WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 15, 2025 PAMELA W.
