Rodney Burch moved the commission recommend approval to the city council for the application
by Dale Willie for a zoning change at 4532 Burley Drive from R -2 Residential to I - Industrial; Bryan
Nield seconded the motion.

Shawna Elzner -Yes; Jason Mendenhall -Yes; Bryan Nield -Yes; Pete Anderson -Yes. Motion

2. An application by Darris Ellis, 4470 Wasatch St, Chubbuck, Idaho, 83202, for annexation and
zoning changes from R -1 and County Agricultural to PUD together with a preliminary plat
(Copperfield Landing Division No. 1) on a portion of the property. The property is approximately
35 acres located north of Dell Road and south of Siphon Road.
Chairman Anderson noted the letter from Mr. Ellis regarding a street name change to be considered
with the preliminary plat.
Mitchell Greer, Rocky Mountain Engineering & Surveying, 2043 E. Center, Pocatello, ID, reviewed
the project layout and scope. The sewer project and the church project have encouraged growth in
this location. PUD concept is similar to Park Meadows, with a 15 to 20 year plan. The housing is
more in the affordable range appropriate for the current economic conditions. He said they request
the comp plan map be changed, moving the urban service boundary to allow annexation and zoning,
and PUD master plan approval. Darris Ellis said the urban service boundary has already been
changed. Greer reviewed more proposal details, including a trail system, a 4 to 5 -acre community
park, and a zoning map with commercial and residential areas designated. He described the
popularity of the new urban community design and the flexibility of the PUD. If the interchange
does not happen, then some commercial area could be changed to residential. He said the style of
homes will fit the local trends and economy and will vary in density.
Darris Ellis, 4470 Wasatch, said economics, ordinances and the church building are driving the
project location, timing and plan. A PUD preserves his options most efficiently, depending on
whether the Siphon Road interchange is built and whether residential property is selling. He
described sewer and water line plans.
There were no further questions from the commission for the applicant. Paul Andrus, City Staff,
noted the addendum packet provided this evening. The hearing was then opened for public
comment.
There being no public comment, the hearing was returned to the commission for discussion.
Chairman Anderson complimented Mitch Greer on the quality of his presentation and the concept
design.

Concern with 5 -foot sewer depth - Steven Smart clarified the homes near the church could
connect to the Chubbuck Road sewer main and the rest of the area would be served by the

homes are located on the one block street section. Ellis is proposing the name change to
McKay Street.

preliminary plat.

church. Cole Street would be extended.
Commission discussed whether map should reflect 19 proposed lots, rather than 4 or 5 as shown.
Tom Holmes said the city council would be satisfied with the plat as shown with staff explanation.
Greer said every two units would share one driveway. The PUD master plan shows R -4 zoning for
this area. The group discussed PUD density guidelines, which include open space.
The commission asked for assurance the open space will be there as planned. Ellis said his goal was
to avoid the disadvantages of maintaining tiny park areas. Chairman Anderson proposed the
appropriate park area adjoining Espie Park be included in the first phase. Commission discussed
other details that could change over time. Ellis proposed a temporary park area. Group discussed
applying PUD open space as common area guidelines. They discussed several park development
details, including phases of development and irrigation service. Holmes proposed park ground be
deeded to the city and park fees be collected.
