Proposal for Nibley business park put on hold By
Julie Sulunga NIBLEY -- Amending the plans for a proposed city business park was the main topic of discussion at the City Council meeting Aug. 30, though the council tabled a final decision until its next meeting. A major concern is the position of the road to the park. There is a proposed access road off of U.S. 89-91. "My property will be right in the middle of the road," said land owner Lex Anderson. There is also the issue of the people that will be living on the property of the park, jointly owned by Zan Summers and Alan Spendlove of Big Country Co. The people who live on the property will have to adhere to the rules and regulations of the business park. Summers said the park will benefit Nibley. It will have light industrial businesses, which could create jobs for people. In addition to the jobs created, there will also be a subdivision built. "The idea is that people to live right by where they work," Summers said. "They will be able to walk to work every day." The most troublesome issue is the access road to the park. The road used to run right through the property owed by Spendlove. At its Aug. 14 meeting the council passed an amendment to move the road 30 feet west of his property. "This puts Spendlove at a disadvantage because he was landlocked," said Councilman Scott Wells. "It puts Summers at an advantage because Spendlove will have to seek approval from him to have anything in the business park." The council voted to table the decision until its next meeting. This will give the three parties involved time to meet and discuss other options. The council also approved the plat maps for a proposed moderate-income housing subdivision. Developer Tim Gibbons will have the entry to the subdivision off of 3200 South in Nibley. Gibbons had sought approval of his preliminary plans at an earlier meeting, but the Council would not pass it because there were too many cul-de-sacs. Though this would be attractive to any potential buyers, it would be hard to get snowplows and garbage trucks in there, Wells said. Gibbons was sent back to devise a new plan with not so many cul-de-sacs and easier access for vehicles like the snowplow to get into the subdivision. His revised plans were passed after he agreed he would increase the width of the road. In other business, the council approved the plans for a second home for Carrie Cook on her property.
