NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
1. An application by Mike Dance, 209 West Siphon Road, Chubbuck, ID 83202 for a Change of Land
Use District to a Planned Unit Development together with the Preliminary Plat and Preliminary
Development Plan. The property is located at 209 West Siphon Road, NW % of Section 3 T6S,
R34E, B.M., Chubbuck, ID 83202.
Andrus, city staff, reported that the original application had the wrong address. The actual address is
209 West Siphon. After review of the application the proposed units are allowed in the R4 PUD.
No questions from the commission for city staff.
Rodney Burch from Dioptra, 4751 Afton Place, Chubbuck, ID is in attendance to represent the applicant.
209 West Siphon Road is on the South side of Siphon Road.
The application shows a driveway off of Siphon Road to access 7 multifamily 4 -plex units. Currently the
zoning on this land is R2. Applicants are asking for a R4 PUD zoning which is in compliance with the
comprehensive plan. The entire parcel is just over 2.1 acres which includes the existing home.
Each apartment will have a private individual storage unit. Between the storage units there will be a
concrete pad for tenants to use. By ordinance there could be 10 buildings constructed but with only 7
there will be more open space and an open feel to the complex. The PUD ordinance requires 10% of the
gross land area to be open space. This project has 26 %.
Utilities coming from Siphon Road will also extend to the east and west property lines in anticipation of
future growth.
The intent is to have a one ownership facility with the common area being maintained by management
from the existing home where Mr. Dance lives.
Mendenhall asked if commission members had questions.
