PUBLIC HEARING:

Change of Land Use District from Limited Family Residential (R -2) to Infill P.U.D.
(Planned Unit Development). Property is located behind 4856 Hawthorne.
Joel Dixon, Rocky Mountain Engineering Survey, 2043 E. Center, it contains 3. 7 acres of
Neider Subdivision. They are asking for 6 additional homes. The Road will come off of
Hawthorne. They will have a privacy fences and it will be a gated community. The homes
would be single story with 3 car garages. There would be no basements and no 2 " floors.
Commission Discussed:
1. All units are single family
2. A gated community
The meeting was opened for public comment.
Wayne Roderick, 4920 Hawthorne, the area was plated 50 years ago and developed as ranchetes.
This development is not compatible with surrounding area. They will have a conflict to start
with as the houses are only 16' from a home that has livestock. The Chubbuck City Ordinance
requires 50' between livestock and a house. They want to preserve the integrity of the
subdivision. It does not meet the requirement of infill for city code; and the 50' livestock
requirement.
Carolyn Roderick, 4920 Hawthorne, this subdivision is probably the V subdivision in Chubbuck.
They were designated as ranchetes.
Lois McCarthy, 4920 Hawthorne, it will devaluate her property. She has had two offers both
el*N with the idea of ranchetes. They wanted to have horses. She is opposed to this.
Dorothy Ward, 4930 Hawthorne she has lived there over 50 years. She agrees with Mr. Roberick
and would like us to consider the time they have lived there and their wants and desires.

Lonna Gertner, 5014 Hawthorne, saleable acreage's are decreasing. She would like to see it at as
a 1 house per acres with no roads going north. They need to maintain the value of their places.
Lucille Moore, 4950 Hawthorne they bought their home because it was a Ranchette with one acre
of ground. They don't have livestock. They support Mr. Roderick concerns for this
development.
Wally Smith, 4836 Hawthorne, his concerns are if this is a commercial endeavor are they going
to have to widen Hawthorne Road. It is getting more difficult to get on to the street. Water
rights; how will he get them; will they come under the road. Is he going to be allowed to have a
horse? He has lived there 8 years. The fence between the property is a concern because horses
will tear up that plastic fence. He is concerned about the amount of animals he can have. He is
concerned about the road width and who will maintain the road. The city is moving in on the
ranchet neighborhood. Snow removal is a problem. Their parking lot will up traffic flow; he is
concerned about getting in and out of his driveway.
David Mclelland, 4827 Hawthorne Road they are concerned that it will become a modular home
area. He would like to know what the square foot of the lots would be, and if there will be
individual utilities for each lot. How are they are going to handling the exit and entrance into
Hawthorne.
The public hearing was closed and brought back to the Commission.
Mitch Greer, Rocky Mountain Engineering Surveying, this development is in down town
Chubbuck. He has tried to market it as ranchetes but couldn't sell it. The neighbors will be
allowed to have their horses. It is an R -2 zone right now. The homes will have 2,000 sq foot,
with 3 car garages. It is not not intended for a starter market; but is a retirement type
development. It is neighborhood sensitive as far as the development goes.
Attorney Tom Holmes: Discussed the 50' problem. Our ordinance doesn't allow for animal
corrals to be closer than 50' to a residence.
The commission discussed:
1. Zone change can be conditional with approval of the plat
Rodney Burch moved to recommend to the city council that we approve the application by Gary
Chisum, for change in Land Use District from Limited Family Residential to infill P.U.D. for the

Mitch Greer, concerning the setback he believes that the P.U.D. ordinance allows some changes
in design. The buffer could be handled with the give and take of a P. U. D. A 50' buffer on each
side would take away from the character of the development.
The public hearing was opened:
Wayne Roderick a 50' limit is a practical thing. Horses poop and it makes flies. The pressure
will be on when the people in the new homes have a Bar -B -Que and don't like the smell. It will
constitute a taking.
The public hearing was closed and brought back to the commission for discussion.
The commission discussed:
1. Issue with the 50' setback. We need to put it back to the developer and have them bring back a
recommendation on how they will handle the 50' issue. We could table it until the next month's
meeting.
2. Have them put a note on the final plat to notify the potential owners of the problem with
animals.
Wally Smith, 4836 Hawthorne, is concerned with human interference with his animals. He
doesn't like kids giving them hay and hitting them with a stick. He doesn't care if they want to
put up a fancy wall.
Chairman Anderson asked Mitch Greer how critical the time frame is on this project.
Mitch Greer: They would like to get started in the spring.
We need to give the city attorney some time to research the ordinance and give an
recommendation on the animal ordinance. Attorney Holmes told the commission he could have
an opinion by January 15`''.
Steve Smart recommended that we not advertize the P.U.D. for the 23' council meeting but that
we keep these two issues together.
Jason Mendenhall moved that item #2 be tabled until our February meeting so that the city
attorney can provide us with a legal opinion concerning the ordinance on the 50; and have it to
us by the 15 of this month. Mary Harker seconded All voted in favor.
We will have the city attorney's opinion available at the clerk's office.
