2. Consider proposed ordinance amending Title 15, Building and Construction, Title 16, Land
Improvement Standards, and 17, Land Development in the City of Chubbuck City Codes.
Andrus explained that most of the changes are clerk to public works director and engineer to the public
works director. In Title #15, Sign Regulations, a section for electronic reader boards needs to be added.
There are currently no regulations.
Mendenhall ask commission if they had any questions for Harris on Titles 16 and 17.
Smith asked about title 17.12.020, Planning Conference and if this was a Design Review meeting. Andrus
explained a planning conference is to look at the feasibility of the project with the developer in order to
go to Design Review.
Harris explained the recommendation to change Title 16.12.340, Street Pavement Sections, came from a
study done by Excell Engineering. It shows the traffic index or the pavement life and at 70% of life it is
roughly one dollar renovation costs built with the new section at 15 years but the pavement life drops to
5 years with the old section we are building and the cost goes to five to ten dollars. The city is now
looking at modifying the local road typical section to off -set costs and follow recommendations from
Ashto.
Harris also explained that in Title 16.12.020 C, Streets, for better clarification Standard Back to Back
should change to Standard Curb Back to Back and Swale Back to Back should be changed to Ribbon Curb
Back to Back.
16.16.030, Dust, Dirt and Material Control was last modified in 2004.
15.25.010, Reader Boards, was discussed. Light intensity can be dialed down at night on all signs.
Blackinton commented that chasing, blinking, rotating, flashing could use clarification. The guidelines
were based off from Pocatello codes.
16.12.40A, Landscaping, Schwartz noticed the need to change paragraph B to be the same as paragraph
A with changing developer to adjacent land owner.
Mendenhall opened the Public Hearing.
No Comments.
Mendenhall closed the Public Hearing bringing back to commission, reminding them this is a
recommendation to city council.
Armstrong had a few questions. Asked for clarification on 15.40.050, Deferral Fees. This is regarding the
developer. 16.08.120, Street. Harris explained when there is going to be future development the street
will stub at a lot depth. 16.12.230, Secondary Pressure Irrigation Systems. Armstrong commented water
rights should come unencumbered to a new land owner. Holmes explained secondary pressure
irrigation in a new subdivision is a standard design. City made an effort to have developers utilize the
Fort Hall irrigation. Water rights were not being used and going back to Fort Hall. 16.12.020D, Streets.
Harris explained that the maximum length of a cul-de-sac street is 1,000 feet because of Uniform Fire
Code. 17.04.040, Scope. Armstrong asked if the proposal is for re -platting to become more restricted so
there isn't 5 acre parcels on the threshold nor is the number of new parcels? Harris confirmed. The
purpose is mainly in commercial areas within the city that are un -platted single lots that need to be
platted.
Mendenhall entertained a motion. Buttars made a motion to table the ordinance changes that have
been discussed tonight to the next Land Use meeting so Burch will be present. Smith seconded.

GENERAL BUSINESS
1. Request by Ellis Construction Lifestyle Homes/Rocky Mountain Engineering to modify the
approved Final PUD Plan for Copperfield Landing to accommodate city well # 6 site.
Mitch Greer from Rocky Mountain Survey and Engineering, 680 Oak, Pocatello, ID 83201 is in
attendance representing the applicant.
Mitch wanted to comment on the pressurized irrigation. If irrigation is turned over to the homeowner
the standards require that it be constructed in the right-of-way. So the improvements are in the streets
and homeowners would have to dig up the streets to maintain. It really can't be maintained by
homeowners. The standard would have to be changed. The facilities would have to be built on the
homeowner's property.
The application before the commission is 1% acres of land for well 6 and the water tower. The park will
be developed after the well project is completed. The park will eventually be turned over to the city. By
amending the PUD the city can move forward with this project.
In summary the park is being reconfigured, reconfiguring the high density area and adding the parcel for
the water tower.
Mendenhall entertained a motion for approval to City Council. Schwartz motioned to approve the
application by Ellis Construction Lifestyle Homes to modify the final PUD plan for Copperfield Landing to
accommodate well #6 site. Armstrong seconded.
Roll Call Vote: Schwartz, Yes; Stoddard, Yes; Buttars, Yes; Armstrong, Yes;
Blackinton, Yes; Holm, Yes; Mendenhall, Yes. Motion approved.
2. Review Chapter 15, National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors, in the Comprehensive
Plan.
Andrus explained there is one change and it is a requirement by the State of Idaho to have in the
Comprehensive Plan. After discussion by the commission they moved forward.
3. Review Chapter 16, Implementation, in the Comprehensive Plan.
No changes were made.
Mendenhall welcomed Carrie Holm to the Land Use and Development Commission. She will complete
