Roll Call vote: Parrish, yes; Cain, yes; Quick, yes; Nelson, yes; Allen, yes; Anderson, yes° PUBLIC HEARING ITEM: PROPOSAL BY STEWART NELSON, 11631 NELSON LANE, POCATELLO, IDAHO, FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO PLACE 4-PLEX Units on the west 550~ feet of Lot 18 Block 1, Paradise Acres, Chubbuck, Idaho. Property is presently zoned General Residential (R-2). Chairman Anderson asked for comment from City Staff. Steve Smart said he had briefly looked at proposed layout;there were two or three things that need to be addressed. He said Mt.Ne!son had shown 24 4-Plex structures, each structure would require 13,500 square feet per building. The amount of land Mr. Nelson has would allow only 16 buildings with a total of 64 lying units. He also stated that this parcel ~ land is platted in Paradise Acres, and the 5 acres would only be about 5% of land in Paradise Acres, therefore the moritorium on multiple housing would not apply to this application. He said there may be an ambiguity in the ordinance with a driveway defined as a street, a private street not public; if defined as a street city may require a cul-de-sac or turn around at the end of street. He said the land had already been platted therefore it would not have any affect on the Comprehensive Plan. STEWART NELSON - conditional use permit for 4-Plex Units Mr. Nelson said he would like to develop in three phases. Commission members discussed with Mr. Nelson the parking and where garbage dumpsters would be placed. He said the area shown for storage units would be for tenants to rent for storage. Attorney Winmill suggested to Mr. Nelson he might consider a Planned Unit Develoment; that way he could get aroung the square footage requirement; but that it would require more planning. Chairman Anderson asked for public comment. Robert Guaterex, 5674 Eve, said he was against the high density; said he felt it would reduce the value of their home. He asked when the zoning had been changed, said he had not been notified. Mr. Guaterex's name was on mailing list, and Attorney Winmill informed him city had met the requirement. Letter had not been returned to city. Randall L. Cannon, 195 Abraham, said he opposed ~e 4-Plex units behind his home. Said he was concerned about the property values. Van Vanderwood, 208 Abraham, said he had been informed by other people, concentrated areas such as this, caused police problems. John D. O'Hearn said they had not been notified of meeting; the notice had come addressed to their son. Stewart Nelson said he felt multiple family residents should be concentrated in one area. He said the homes involved would have their back yards facing the ~-Plexes are fenced~ with screen type fencing. Public hearing closed. Attorney Winmill said the commission could require dense screening of trees and shrubs in a~aadjoining the land owners, similar that was required of Cottonwood Cove. Sue Parrish said she was not sure she goes ~ theory all multiple housing should be in one place, that it made area to dense. She said she felt it was better to intergrade into all zones. Chairman Anderson said there were several areas he was concerned about. Commission members discussed the set back requirements. Attorney Winmill said it might be better towait and see the proposed less dense area and whether to approve over objections of residents. He said the Land Use Ordinance provides that the adverse affect on property values and neighbors is something that should be taken into account. Ron Nelson made motion to table the request of Stewart Nelson for STEWART NELSON - conditional use permit for 4-Plex units - a conditional use permit to place 4-Plex Units on the west 550 feet of Lot 18 Block 1, Paradise Acres Subdivision, Chubbuck, Idaho, until May 9, 1985 at 8:00 P.M.
