PUBLIC HEARING - An application by Roger McAtee, 410 Yellowstone Ave., Suite 204, Pocatello, Idaho 83201 for a preliminary plat for Crestfield Subdivision. A subdivision located at 910 W. Chubbuck Road. Mayor Cotant declared the public hearing open. Rodney Burch, Rocky Mountain Engineering, 155 South 2nd. was present representing Roger McAtee, 410 Yellowstone, Pocatello, Idaho. Mr. Burch stated they are proposing a residential subdivision in an R -2 zone. The intention is to, extend Stanley Street, which now is dead end street off of Galena, which stubs to the west side of their property as does Ryan Street. Both of these streets will stub into the McAtee property. Utilities and fire hydrants will come from both Ryan and Galena Streets. Mr. Burch stated the application is based on accesses to Chubbuck Road. Mr. Burch stated they would still like to proceed with the motion that Land Use & Development Commission made at their meeting, which requires Mr. McAtee to amend the plat to show a 55' radius on each of the cul -de -sacs, to come into compliance with current ordinance of fire truck access and turn around. The developer was asked to check .�-• to see if Lots 8 & 11 are actually buildible lots. Mr. Burch stated the two lots are buildible. The Land Use motion, also recommended two accesses onto W. Chubbuck Road, one of which is a shared access between Lots 2 and 3, Lot 1 being of which they want a twin home built, the second access being a single resident access. 53 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - (cont.) April 13"., 1999 PUBLIC HEARING - PRELIMINARY PLAT - (cont.) Mr. Burch stated the developer is willing to put in hammerhead turnarounds, which give the residents a place to turn around, rather than backing out onto W. Chubbuck Road. Mr. Burch did state the proposal does conflict with the Access Management Guidelines of the City, but all the residents on W. Chubbuck Road have accesses to their home at this time, the developer feels they should be allowed these two accesses. Mr. Burch stated after review, the two proposed accesses on W. Chubbuck Road, will not create any additional traffic. Mr. Burch stated the remaining of the proposed subdivision is in compliance with all ordinances and codes with the City. Mr. Burch stated Lot 1 will be a twin home lot. Mayor Cotant asked if there is any opposition to the proposed preliminary plat, there being no opposition, Mayor Cotant declared the public hearing closed. Councilman Kearns stated the issue at the Land Use & Development Meeting was access of Lots 1, 2 and 3 to W. Chubbuck Road, that the proposed accesses on W. Chubbuck Road will not be in compliance with our Access Management Guidelines. Councilman Kearns stated by turning the homes to W. Chubbuck Road, you lose them from the subdivision, and the neighborhood type feeling we would like to have in Chubbuck. Councilman Kearns felt that the City is not asking too much by requiring all access from Galena. Councilman Kearns was concerned with Council not being consistent with Access Management Guidelines. Discussion about how many twin homes allowed a geographic area. Councilman England stated this area is in transition, that by not allowing one additional access on west Chubbuck Road than there is now, we might be pushing too much. Councilman Gunter expressed concern, if accesses to W. Chubbuck Road are not allowed, the residents back yard will face W. Chubbuck Road, they will install wood fences and not maintain the fence. Councilman Quick expressed concern that if this project is not approved, there is the possibility of the full 10% of multiple housing going into the geographical area. r• 55 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - (cont.)
