Development sits on 8 acres and will consist of 6 buildings and 192 units, both 2 bedroom (92 units) and 3 bedroom (96 units). Will also have pool, hot tub and pickle ball courts.
Market study done of area showed great need for multi-family housing.
1. Traffic Safety and Traffic Congestion: (ingress, egress, off-street parking, unloading)
Parking stalls need to be striped at 180 sq. ft. – covered parking structures do not need to meet this requirement.
City code requires 2 stalls per residential unit but a deviation from this requirement was granted by City Council.
Throat depth of stalls closest to Knudsen likely are too close, first stall requirement is 50ft from curb. Developer stated they have edited plans to accommodate the requirement.
2. Traffic Studies, Utility Studies: (as requested)
Traffic study was completed in the past for a project that didn’t come to fruition that was a more intense use – a traffic impact study is not required for this project.
3. Drainage: (storm & surface water, to be engineered, retained on site)
Plans seem to account for drainage, storm water needs to be retained on site.
4. Pretreatment / Nonresidential Wastewater Permit: (grease or oil/silt separator)
Applicant indicated that there will be no stoves/ovens/cookign in the clubhouse since they’ll just contain leasing offices, gym, and a common area only. Will need a permit for sewer
discharge though. Ryan will work with Mark Wilding on application process and timing. mwilding@cityofchubbuck.us
5. Development Agreement (when needed)
Yes – Occurs with all plats; once plans are received, City will prepare the agreement.
6. Structures and Site Layout: (exterior design, buffering, fencing, dumpster enclosure)
Dumpster enclosures may need to be rotated more to allow for sanitation truck servicing access but the sanitation department will review will plans.
Requested that Developer screen utility metering areas along Knudsen Blvd with landscaping.
7. Building Department: (professionally approved plans, ADA compliance, dumpster enclosure)
Need engineered plans and building permit application submitted to: rosborn@cityofchubbuck.us
8. Signs / Advertising: (advertising signs, height, structure)
Signs are fine – will need to check site triangle once final drawings are submitted.
9. Landscaping: (ordinance copy, approved tree list)
Frontage landscaping improvements are already completed along Knudsen.
Landscaping on Fort Hall canal easement will be responsibility of developer. Developer has been in touch with Fort Hall.
Secondary irrigation and pump available on-site.
5% of parking area needs to be landscaped – Developer will send what that number is.
10. Exterior lighting: (light shielding, light trespass)
Applicant indicated that lighting will be on building and in parking areas. City code requires that lighting be shielded so that there is no trespass off the property.
11. Development: (platting, addressing)
Will need to go through full plat process both preliminary and final.
Single address with each building designated with letters or numbers. Need to be able to see building numbers at night, visible and lit.
12. Fire Department: (knox Box, fire hydrant locations, sprinkling, visible street address)
Will need water supply for hydrants throughout development.
Will need a knox box on the clubhouse. Key all riser rooms the same and can then use one key.
13. Police Department: (safety issues)
No concerns
14. Business License: (before opening)
Will need business license (Office, Clubhouse, On-site Manager). Can be requested 2 weeks before seeking certificates of occupancy. Contact Paul Andrus to apply (pandrus@cityofchubbuck.us)
