hearings.
b(ii). Photos provided at the October 13,2016, public hearing were included in
ldaho Power's Conditional Use Permit Application, submitted September 9, 2016.
Blaine County Staff ("Staff') provided copies of these images to each Planning and

revised photos and a presentation for Staff and the Blaine County Planning and Zoning

October 20, 2016, workshop.

After a field review with Blaine County Staff and Planning and Zoning
Commissioners on November 10, 2016, the route was moved to the east side of
Hospital Drive to reduce visua! impacts along the State Highway 75 corridor, spanning
over the Big Wood River, and continuing along the east edge of the bike path to Elkhorn
Road. Photos and aerial imagery were presented, reviewed, and discussed at the
December 1,2016, and January 5,2017, public hearings for all those in attendance.
This is the current alignment.
ldaho Power had a tree arborist field review tree interference for the current
alignment and the State Highway 75 route. ldaho Power does not have a drawing
showing specific trees that need to be removed. However, a count was performed
during the fielding. Approximalely 21 large trees need to be removed to support the
route along State Highway 75. Approximately 12large trees need to be removed, six of
which are dead, to support the route along the bike path.
The response to this Request is sponsored by Ryan N. Adelman, Transmission
and Distribution Projects Manager, ldaho Power Company.
