Ammon council approves Blue Mountain Storage amendment and rezones city-owned Target Park (Ordinance 747)
Summary
The council approved an amendment to the Blue Mountain Storage development agreement, agreeing the city will incur ditch-relocation costs, and accepted findings and enacted Ordinance 747 rezoning the city-owned Target Park; both actions passed on roll-call votes.
The Ammon City Council on May 7 approved multiple development and land-use actions, including an amendment to the Blue Mountain Storage development agreement and the rezoning of city-owned Target Park under Ordinance 747.
Todd Brewington, representing Blue Mountain Storage, told the council relocation of a ditch placed at city direction could cost between $19,000 and $50,000 and requested more time to meet road-widening and sidewalk requirements. The council voted to approve the amendment and authorized the City of Ammon to incur the ditch-relocation cost.
In a separate agenda item City Planner Cindy Donovan presented findings of fact and conclusions of law supporting the rezoning of Target Park. The council accepted the findings, waived the rule requiring three separate readings of the ordinance, and approved Ordinance 747 to rezone the city-owned park. Planner Donovan said the city will request surveying of Target Park to preserve right-of-way; an appraisal has not yet been returned.
Votes and outcomes: the amendment to Blue Mountain Storage's development agreement and the ordinance to rezone Target Park were approved by recorded roll call (votes recorded as unanimous with one member absent). The actions change the development responsibilities for the Blue Mountain Storage site and alter the zoning designation of Target Park.
What happens next: the city will proceed with the ditch relocation per the amendment terms, request surveying of Target Park to maintain right-of-way, and continue the administrative steps required to implement the rezoning.
