NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
1. An application by Bobcat Properties LLC, 1360 Albion Avenue, Burley, ID 83318 for Residential
Infill Planned Development (PUD) for multifamily housing units. Project location is 207 Briscoe
Road, Chubbuck, ID 83202.
Rodney Burch, Dioptra, 4737Afton Place, Chubbuck, ID 83202 is here to represent the application. Burch
has an ownership interest in this property. This property is a 1 acre piece of ground that is currently
zoned General Commercial (C2). Density calculation allows 18 units on this property and the application
is requesting 12 units, not trying to obtain maximum density. Buildings are turned to face the interior of
the project rather than facing the parking lot to create more of a neighborhood feel. The common area
will have picnic tables and tall trees. The PUD ordinance requires 10% in open space. This project has
44% of the property dedicated to open space. One item lacking in the development is that every unit
does not have a 10x10 private space. There are three reasons why that space will not be provided.
• Trying to eliminate back yard use and bring the families to the common and community area.
• These are 2 story units so the upper units would have to have an elevated deck.
• The floor plans for these units have the bedrooms in the back so there is no rear access out of
these units.
Home Owners Association will maintain the common area with river rock and maintenance free
landscaping where the drainage will be. Comprehensive Plan directs growth in the urban infill areas
making them usable parcels. The current home on this property is owned by Bobcat and has had a
$20,000 remodel and will be used as a rental property.
Horner asked about parking.

Infill Planned Development (PUD) for multifamily housing units. Project location is 207 Briscoe Road,

J: \Planning \LUDC \LAND USE SECRETARY \Minutes \Minutes 2014 \Land Use minutes 8.12.14.docx
Mendenhall asked why the Conditional Use Permit is being asked to be permitted before the land is
annexed into the city limits. Holmes explained the developer wants to make sure everything is in
place. The Conditional Use Permit approval can be stated in the motion.
Anderson is concerned that a Conditional Use Permit is issued before the plans are reviewed so a
request could be made to review when site plans and building plans are ready. Commission needs to
have some control.
Burch was given permission to comment.
Construction drawing will have to go before city staff for approval. Construction needs to start by
October 15 or they will have to wait until next year to build. This is a zoning issue to be able to build
a school.

Utilities lines will move down Philbin Road and stub into McNabb property for the Charter School. There
are 2 lots for this plat, with the main lot being the Charter School.
The northwest corner next to the plat is where the city has requested be dedicated for public right of
way.
Comments from city staff
J: \Planning \LUDC \LAND USE SECRETARY \Minutes \Minutes 2014 \Land Use minutes 8.12.14.docx
Smart stated the staff recommends the 66' utility easement along the north side be a dedicated right of
way and be dedicated in the plat. Staff has let the developers know that they will be required to develop
the street frontage for the street coming off of Philbin Road to access their property. Undeveloped
portions of lot 1 would not require the street to be constructed along the north frontage. Alpine Avenue
will run from Hawthorne Road to Philbin Road in the future so the right of way corridor needs to be
preserved. McNabb would also rely on the Alpine Avenue corridor for their development needs.
Ward commented that an agreement will be drawn up with McNabb and the 66'x655' area will be
dedicated as the city staff is requesting.
Anderson opened the Public Hearing for public comment.
Gerald McNabb, 12973 North Philbin Road, Pocatello, ID 83202 owns the 23.5 acres.
Utilities and Fort Hall irrigation water have been provided. Intent is for Alpine Avenue to connect with
Philbin Road. Support the idea and are in favor of what the school is doing.
No further public comments. Anderson closed the Public Hearing bringing the meeting back to the
commission. This is a recommendation to City Council.
Kinghorn asked McNabb if he is ok with dedication of the 655'.
McNabb will cooperate with what the needs are.
Motion made by Kinghorn to recommend to City Council the approval of the plat as presented with the
addition that the 66' of right of way be dedicated as right of way along the north boundary of this
property.
Mendenhall seconded.
Roll Call Vote: Stoddard, Yes; Kinghorn, Yes; Horner, Yes; Mendenhall, Yes; Anderson, Yes.
Motion carries and will go before the City Council in September.
Mendenhall suggested the general business be moved to the September agenda.
