Discussion followed on: - fueling station hours are 6 AM - 10 PM - Costco is open 10 AM to 8:30 PM - pay at the pump with member card only and credit card or debit card - no cash taken - parking looks tight around the pumps - the possibility of expediting with ITD the signal light construction at Pole Line and Fillmore Street City Engineer Young reported participation with ITD could conceptually be done with local participation. Discussion continued on: federal funds take a long time to become available McDonalds entrance will remain open signal will create gaps in traffic - traffic crossing Pole Line could move more safely right turn on to Pole Line might be better- but not in the plan left turn lane is available with the project one Costco fueling facility was viewed where stacking was a problem Councilperson Talkington made the motion to approve the request including the seven conditions plus 48 that a minimum of S25,000 be accepted for the signal light. The motion was seconded by Councilperson Clow. .Discussion followed on: Minutes - Twin Falls City Council November 16, 1998 Page 8 - new information received at the meeting needs to be reviewed - putting cart before the horse - time to act on the request - could make the condition that the light be approved by ITD - Costco has agi-eed to fund the whole light amount and wait to be reimbursed Councilperson Clow made the motion to amend that the request would be contingent upon the approval of the light being part of the 1999 Idaho Transportation Department Pole Line Road widening project and within the same time frame as the fueling station. The motion was seconded by Vice Mayor AIlen. Discussion followed on: - making far-fetched condition - expansion can't happen without signal - engineering has not been done for a light but, would be similar to the Bridgeview and Pole Line Road light The vote on the motion to amend on roll call vote showed all members present in favor of the motion.
