NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

Change in Land Use District from Agricultural (A) to General Commercial (C -2). Located W % of
the NW % of Section 10, Township 6S, Range 34E, Boise Meridian, Bannock County, Chubbuck,

Mitch Greer from Rocky Mountain Engineering and Survey, 2043 East Center Street, Pocatello Idaho
83201 was here to represent the application. The project area is approx 60 acres in the Yellowstone
Commons Division 2 Subdivision, Chubbuck Road is to the north, and north of Knudsen Blvd. This is
an existing lot within the City of Chubbuck that is currently zoned Agricultural (A). Reason for the
request for the zone change is the Pocatello Chubbuck Auditorium District would like to build an
event center. Main reason the site was selected was because the infrastructure is already in place
and can support this project. The proposed building will be separated from the residential area,
Misti Manor Subdivision, to the north by 175'. There will also be 8' of green space between the
Event Center and the residential area. This area is designated commercial in the Comprehensive
Plan and is in compliance with the plan.
Anderson asked if the commission had any questions.
Buttars asked for clarification on burying Redman Canal.
Greer stated they have been working with Fort Hall Irrigation for 3 years and the Redman Canal will
be moved and piped. The pipe will be sitting on the ground and a berm will be built over it. In some
areas the berm will be 8 to 10 feet tall.
Stoddard clarified with Greer that the zoning change will only be on % of lot 1.

An application by Pocatello Chubbuck Auditorium District, PO Box 66, Pocatello, ID 83204 for
Event Center Subdivision Preliminary Plat. Located on Knudsen Blvd, Chubbuck, ID 83202. W
of the NW % Section 10, Township 6 South, Range 34 East of the Boise Meridian, a portion of Lot
1 Block 1 of Yellowstone Commons Division 2 in the County of Bannock.
Mitch Greer is here from Rocky Mountain Engineering and Survey, 2043 East Center Street,
Pocatello Idaho 83201 to represent the application. Greer explained there are 3 lots on this
preliminary plat. The event center property will have 400 parking spaces. Utilities will come in
from Knudsen Blvd and tie into Linden's water system. The event center building will be built on
the southeast corner of the site. Storm drainage water that falls on the Knudsen project will stay
on the Knudsen project. Underground infiltration will handle all the water that will fall on the
south side of the Redman Canal and will not flow into Misti Manor Subdivision.
Holmes asked if the cross access parking on lots 1, 2 and 3 was still going to happen. The
Pocatello Chubbuck Auditorium District attorney is working on an agreement.
Anderson opened the Public Hearing.
Bill Aller lives at 222 West Linden, Chubbuck Idaho 83202. His property is adjacent to the north
portion of the project. No objections to building the Event Center but would like to know the
plan with the trees and if the fence will come down. Concerned with what will happen with his
animals if the fence is going to be down for any length of time. Will West Linden be open to thru
traffic?
Kevin Sutphin lives at 221 West Linden agrees with Mr. Aller's comments. What will happen to
the irrigation water that comes from the canal?
J: \Planning \LUDC \LAND USE SECRETARY \Minutes \Minutes 2014 \Land Use Minutes 2.4.14.docx
Gary Wicklund lives at 413 Idealya Lane, Chubbuck Idaho, 83202. Nice to see the berm is going
in. 5 homes in Misti Manor Subdivision have had basements flooded. Please ensure the
retention pond will handle the water.
Public Hearing was closed.
Greer addressed the comments and questions. The intent is to remove the trees. Greer said
they will work with Mr. Aller and the fence situation with his animals. Linden could be improved
and it makes sense from an overall planning stand point that it will be an outlet.
There will be a dry retention facility that will not have water in it for any extended time. There is
also underground infiltration that will be installed in the dry retention facility.
Meeting was brought back to commission for comments or questions. Anderson reminded
commission this is a recommendation to City Council
Burch had questions for City Staff. Is Fort Hall going to own the pipe that will be in the Redman
Canal? Smart commented the city does not plan on taking ownership of the pipe. There will be a
roadway on top of the berm for maintenance access to the canal. Burch would like to see the
area north and east of the parking lot to have the final plat come back with an easement so the
city could in the future establish bike and walking paths on the canal banks that will connect the
city to the Event Center. Greer stated the easement could be added to the final plat.
Eborn is concerned with the Linden access. When there is an event at the center that street will
be used so that needs to be carefully considered. Eborn asked city staff if there is sufficient
access egress to the Event Center without Linden as an outlet. Smart stated there would be.
There are no plans to have a signal at Linden because it would be too close to Yellowstone
Avenue's traffic signal. Smart let commission know there has been discussion regarding
reconstructing Linden. Burch suggested it will be beneficial for the residents on Linden to have
the road open.
Eborn is also concerned with the amount of water that will be collected in the parking lot asking
staff if the storm drainage is in place. Smart explained it is a requirement in the ordinance that
the final plat and design drawing show required storm drainage.
No other comments from commission, Anderson entertain a motion.
Burch recommends approval of the preliminary plat application by Pocatello Chubbuck
Auditorium District with the following conditions:
• Include city access rights on the easements in conjunction with the Fort Hall irrigation
facilities
Recognition by owner /developer that they will own and maintain the relocated
Redman Canal irrigation system
Grant of access for the public through the parking lot at the end of Linden to Knudsen
Blvd
Mendenhall seconded.
Roll Call Vote: Burch, Yes; Stoddard, Yes; Buttars, Yes; Eborn, Yes; Horner, Yes; Mendenhall, Yes;
Anderson, Yes. Motion passes.
