PUBLIC HEARING
An application by Briscoe Bybee Contractors, 5465 Kymball Avenue, Chubbuck, ID 83202 for the
Preliminary Plat for The Grove Subdivision 2"d Addition located in the Northeast ''/< of Section 8,
Township 6 South, Range 34 East of the Boise Meridian in the County of Bannock. This property is
located north of 1-86 and west of Philbin Road.
Stewart Ward, Dioptra 4737 Afton Place Suite B, Chubbuck, ID 83202 was in attendance representing the
applicant.
This is a preliminary plat proposal with approx. 10 acres of land in phase 2 and 29 single family homes. This
area has been vacant for approx. 10 years.
Existing water and sewer will be connected into along with the irrigation line. Connecting into irrigation line is
because of a recommendation from City staff. There are open ditches in the field and no one will be cut off
from Fort Hall irrigation. Some of the line will be gravity fed other areas will be graded.
The developer is requesting to provide a contribution in lieu of building a park.
Road widths will match the existing roads and right-of-ways.
Homes will be very similar to the homes in phase 1 with a few larger lots in phase 2.
Phase 1 has an active irrigation system now.
Mendenhall asked if City staff had any comments.
Burch stated item 1 on the memo refers to the lot to depth ratios. There are a handful of lots that do not meet
that requirement. Staff does not feel that this is an issue and recommends to approve the plat but in the
motion acknowledge that title 18.08.040C has been addressed.
Relocation of the irrigation line will be in the actual construction plans that are submitted. Idaho code does not
allow the applicant to restrict historic water use. Water flows will be tested.
Mendenhall opened the public hearing.

Ryan Corum 1400 Sawtooth Street. Currently the HOA president of The Grove Subdivision. The Academy
Charter School is making it hard to enter onto Philbin Road. Is there a possibility for another entrance onto
Philbin Road?
Roy Thompson 1331 Sawtooth Street. He has the same concerns as Ryan Corum.
Roger Cameron 1414 Sawtooth Street. His concern is dust and weeds.
Sasha Elder 1388 Sawtooth Street. Same concerns with turning onto Philbin Road.
George Lucia 14145 West Chubbuck Road. Concerned with irrigation and the ditches getting plugged with
tumble weeds causing flooding the neighbors. Will the water be piped?
Danny Elder 1388 Sawtooth Street. Entering on Philbin Road. Will there be a crosswalk on Philbin Road?
Mendenhall closed the Public Hearing.
Mendenhall ask Ward to address weed control and dust.
The homes that are being built are not this applicant. Unsure of what that developer's plan is.
Mendenhall asked if there are questions from commissioners.
The under 90 lots with 1 entrance required meets City Code.
Enforcement codes for weeds need to be addressed to Aaron Harker the Code Enforcement Officer at the
Police Department.
Crosswalk was addressed by Burch. The City is in all honesty are surprised with the amount of traffic The
Academy has generated. The City has annexed the west half of Philbin Road. It will probably not be a school
zone because the school fronts Alpine Road not Philbin Road. City acknowledges the issue and it will be a slow
process for improvements.
Anything in City Code that would address the concern of lot and window levels? Burch; No, it is up to the
builder and the home owners to decide what is being built.
Ward explained the irrigation plan again.
The ditches may need to be piped on the north side but the ditch that is outside the property line will stay a
ditch. Gryffin Hollow Subdivision to the north has an existing dry irrigation system on the south property line.
When final plat and construction drawings are completed and submitted to the City for approval those
irrigation questions will be answered.
Mendenhall entertained a motion. Nield made the motion to recommend the application as proposed and
recognize that the commission addressed the lot width size per City staff recommendation. Smith seconded.
Nield added to the motion that the developer is requesting to provide a contribution in lieu of building a park.
Roll Call Vote: Brady Smith, Yes; Todd Blackinton, Yes; Carrie Holm, Yes; Bryan Nield, Yes; Mike Swartz,
Yes; Dan Stoddard, Yes; Jason Mendenhall, Yes.
This application will come before City Council on August 17th at 6:00 pm.
Mendenhall entertained a motion to adjourn Nield made the motion. Stoddaard seconded. All voted to
adjourn at 7:35 pm.
