PUBLIC HEARING
1. An application by Precision Properties, PO Box 4082 Pocatello, ID 83205 for PUD Preliminary
Development Plan for proposed Antler Ridge Subdivision for Multifamily Infill Planned Unit
Development, PUD. Located in the Southwest quarter of the Southwest quarter of Section 2,
Township 6 South, Range 34 East of the Boise Meridian in Bannock County. Location is North of
East Chubbuck Road and West of Kays Kove.
Mitchell Greer, Rocky Mountain Engineering and Survey, 600 East Oak Pocatello, ID 83204 was in
attendance representing the application. RMES had a 3D representation of the apartment buildings and
property. Site is located at the corner of Hiline Road and East Chubbuck Road. RMES has a history of
development in this area. The project area is 2.35 undeveloped ground. Current zoning is R-2, Limited
Residential, the application is proposing Residential Infill PUD. Codes and Comprehensive plan are
looked at when developing. This project is located within Mixed Use designated area. Predevelopment
meeting with City staff have been held. Total of 44 units with 11 buildings providing 98 parking places
when 88 is required. Possible amenities are basketball court, BBQ area, personal recreation area and
playground. Storm water control will be in the park area. There will be a gated access into Kays Kove
Subdivision on Emma Lane that will only be opened for emergencies. Polder Lane to Whitaker Road and
road to East Chubbuck Road are the possible main accesses to the apartment buildings. PUD ordinance
allows density bonuses but the application is not asking for any. Common concerns are decrease in
property value, increased traffic, increase in crime and loss of neighborhood identity/ integrity. This is
not low income housing but market value. The proposal complies with the Comprehensive Plan and
consistent with City Codes.
Mendenhall asked if commissioners had any comments or questions.
Discussion from commissioners was:
• Higher density brings in lower taxes
• Concerns about property value
1:\Planning\LUDC\LAND USE SECRETARY\Minutes\Minutes 2017\002.14.17.docx
• Traffic at single family home is 10 trips per day and apartments are 6.5 trips per day
• Statistics show apartment dwellers have 1 car
• Gate to be kept closed because Kays Kove controls Emma Lane
• Density calculation chart was viewed and discussed
• Gated entrance will meet emergency services guidelines with a written agreement
• Private outdoor space
No comments from City staff or questions from the board.
Mendenhall stated 3 residents submitted testimony letters, Jack W. Wells, Kenneth M. Olney and Susan
Ganske. Land Use commission received a copy and the letters will be in the packets for City Council's
meeting.
Mendenhall opened the Public Hearing.
Matt Spears, 829 Wendy Chubbuck, ID 83202. In favor because of tax revenue and more options for
housing. There was opposition to the development of Kays Kove. If we don't have growth the City will
become stagnant.
Cliff Spears, 1285 Wright Avenue Pocatello, ID 83201. Owner of the property for 10 years and this has
been the plan from the beginning. Idaho is the 3rd fastest growing state.

Kristan Long, 608 Nathan Ave., Chubbuck, ID 83202. Mother lives in Kays Kove. Opposed. Concerned
with zoning, mixed use was not meant for high density but commercial because of Chubbuck Road.
Other high density areas nearby are bordered by interstate, agricultural or railroad tracks. Only
opposed to high density not development. Also concerned with Code Enforcement and the upkeep
continuing over time. Property owners in Kays Kove have the right to put a boulder in the middle of
Emma.
Paul Whitaker 4821 Reed Street, Chubbuck, ID 83202. Mother lives at Kays Kove. Opposed Emma Lane
should not be an emergency exit. Concerned with city codes and upkeep. A dumpster outside a Kays

generated and the dumpsters container staying clean.
Allen Quinn, Unit 4840 in Kays Kove Chubbuck, ID 83202. Opposed. Declaration and CC&R for Kays Kove

the declaration is in the process of being drafted.
Ross Minson, 4840 Whitaker Chubbuck, ID 83202. Presented a letter from Wayne and Alane Hale to City
Staff. Opposed to the high density housing with the 2 story design. Polder Lane is not a good access
road. Not large enough parking spaces by the apartments for larger vehicles. Concerned with the

Tamara Oney, 4448D Chucker Chubbuck, ID 83202. Father lives in Kays Kove and wrote a testimony
letter. Fathers concern is he is a snow bird and to be away from his home would it be safe? Her
concerns are his safety and property value. Unsure market value will be high enough to bring in good
renters.
1:\P1anning\LUDC\LAND USE SECRETARY\Minutes\Minutes 2017\002.14.17.docx
Terry Taylor, 530 E. Chubbuck Road, Chubbuck, ID 83202. Opposed. If there is a road next to her home
there are concerns. Keep the development as owner occupied. Gates should not be happening.
Apartments are too close to her property line. Nothing has been said about irrigation. Storm water run-
off is not well planned. Stay with a twin home design.
Hunter Bennett, 1530 Jessie Court Pocatello, ID 83201. Lives by OK Ward Park that is not well
maintained. Safety of kids is a concern. Traffic and kids on bikes could be a problem.
Nicki Taysom, 4963 Yellowstone Chubbuck, ID 83202. Opposed. Children's safety is a concern. People
don't respect if they don't own. Too much light and school population are concerns. Sanitation
dumpster will be an issue. Losing open spaces.
Lee Goddard, 4842 and 4852 Polder Lane Chubbuck, ID 83202. The road can't handle the traffic. Privacy
is an issue.
Mendenhall closed the Public Hearing bringing the meeting back to the commission reminding
commission this is a recommendation to City Council.
Mitchell Greer Rocky Mountain Engineering and Survey, 600 East Oak, Pocatello, ID 83204. There will be
an increase in traffic but it is not significant. Greer addressed questions:
• Traffic on a public street will increase with development
• When Kays Kove was built the plan was to connect Emma Lane to Polder Lane
• The access to Chubbuck Road can be moved to phase 1 instead of phase 2
• The owner for this project lives in the area and there will be an onsite manager
• CC&Rs were not researched for this project
• Irrigation and storm water will be handled during the design process
• PUD ordinance standards have been met
• The dumpster can be moved to another area
• The distance from the south apartment unit to 530 E. Chubbuck Road can be adjusted
Mendenhall concerned with only 1 access into the development.
Burch addressed City Code 18.20.040's opening paragraph. It is speaking about multiple uses inside a
single PUD and that they could have up to 10% of the gross land directed to a different use. 18.20.040D
is if they access a collector road, this does not apply with this application. Yes traffic will increase on
Polder Lane but it is less than 10% of most of the residential streets in the city. It is 200' from Polder
Lane to East Chubbuck Road.
Andrus explained the Comprehensive Plan calls for mixed use which goes from R-1 to C-1 in the area on
Chubbuck Road by the project. There are several different zonings along that area, PUD next door, R-2,
C-1 and C-2 across E. Chubbuck Road. PUD and R-2 are the zoning next to the proposed project.
Mendenhall entertained a motion. Stoddard made a motion that the recommendation to City Council is
to not approve this application. Nield seconded.
Roll Call Vote: Jay Buttars, No; Russ Armstrong, Yes; Carrie Holm, Yes; Bryan Nield, Yes; Dan
Stoddard, Yes; Jason Mendenhall, Yes. Motion carries.
2. An application by Precision Properties, PO Box 4082 Pocatello, ID 83205 for Preliminary Plat for
Antler Ridge Subdivision. Located in the Southwest quarter of the Southwest quarter of Section
2, Township 6 South, Range 34 East of the Boise Meridian in Bannock County. Location is North
of East Chubbuck Road and West of Kays Kove.
1:\P1annin9\LUDC\LAND USE SECRETARY\Minutes\Minutes 2017\002.14.17.docx
Mitchell Greer, Rocky Mountain Engineering and Survey, 600 East Oak Pocatello, ID 83204 was in
attendance representing the application. There are 11 lots that would be for sale in the preliminary
plat. Each building will be a lot. Access to utilities is on site and there is a public utility easement over
Emma Lane.
Questions or comments from City staff.
Burch added the memo that was conveyed to commission from staff identifies that they do meet the
criteria of the City platting codes relative to a preliminary plat for a PUD if the zoning is PUD. Staff
recommends approval.
Mendenhall opened the Public Hearing.
Tamara Oney, 4448D Chucker Chubbuck, ID 83202. The Kays Kove Home Owners Association ask that
she state they are opposed.
Nicki Taysom, 4963 Yellowstone Chubbuck, ID 83202. Opposed.
Terry Taylor, 530 E. Chubbuck Road, Chubbuck, ID 83202. PUD would be in the middle of owner
occupied single homes causing traffic issues. Road access next to her property is a concern.
Mendenhall closed public hearing bringing the meeting back to the commission.
Holmes noted that the preliminary plat needs to be recommended for denial to City Council because the
PUD plan was recommended for denial. It would be confusing if the PUD plan is a denial
recommendation and preliminary plat is an approval recommendation.
Mendenhall entertained a motion.
Nield made a motion to recommend to City Council denial of the preliminary plat application. Stoddard
seconded.
Roll Call Vote: Russ Armstrong, Yes; Dan Stoddard, Yes; Bryan Nield, Yes; Jay Buttars, No; Carrie
Holm, No; Jason Mendenhall, Yes. Motion carries.
