Design Review
October 8, 2013
Applicant: Curtis Silva
Proposed site address: 5325 Yellowstone Avenue
Present: Steve Smart, Mayor England, Paul Andrus, Randy Severe, Eric King, Merlin Miller,
Rich Morgan, Nelli Simmons
Design Review Application is to approve a residential home located at 5325 Yellowstone Avenue be used for a daycare center, Small World Academy. Curtis’s wife and mother have had a daycare
in Pocatello for 30 years. He is here to represent the application because they are with the children at the daycare.
Mr. Silva wants it on record that 49 children will be allowed in the daycare if the garage is not used. He has a concern that Pocatello and Chubbuck Fire Departments will combine and
that allowed number will change. Mayor said it has been discussed to combine the 2 departments but if it does happen it will be 1 entity to be served by both cities. Merlin Miller mentioned
that the city codes do change.
