Estates development that annexation needed to take place. This phase will be the final connection
piece. They will implement this piece of property as the overall project boundary on the preliminary
plat to follow. Property has existing infrastructure from other phases that will be available. They have
no problems with staff's conditions of annexation and believe it meets the intent of the ordinance.

2. A proposal by city staff to revise an existing chapter of City Code, 18.06 Land Use Definitions,
setting forth new definitions for accessory dwellings, awnings, canopies, condominiums, Z lots,
pedestrian ways, residential structures (townhouses, twin homes, patio homes), and various
sign types; to revise definitions for planned unit developments, residential structures (single
household dwelling, duplex, apartment building), signs, and zero lot line residences (attached
and detached); to rename adult businesses as sexually oriented businesses to be consistent with
Chapter 5 of City Code; to add illustrations for Z lots and detached zero lot line residences; to
delete the definition of residential rental dwelling; to amend Section 18.08.040 Schedule of
General Controls, Residential Dwellings, with consistent terminology for accessory dwellings and
zero lot line residences (abutting or detached); and to amend the definition of condominiums in
Section 16.08.04 and Section 17.08.04 of City Code to be consistent with the terminology
proposed in Chapter 18.06. Type of Action: Recommendation. (Action Item)
Matson explained they received two building permit applications forADU's in the same week and
received questions back from both homeowners so realized they needed to define the code a little
further. One of which was defining what an ADU is. The definition states an ADU must include a kitchen,
sleeping area and bathroom, proposing to add that type of definition into chapter. Also states an ADU is
clearly subsidiary to the main residence. Includes secure entrance, kitchen, bathroom, etc. and defines
kitchen requirements. They plan to take revisions to Council for adoption next month.
Berls asked about the wording in the townhome section. Apartments, complexes, duplexes and twin
homes. Matson offered clarification of those. Berls suggested not referencing the other as it makes
them sound synonymous "see also" language.
Berls requested to mark sexually oriented business as not permitted. Matson explained it is required by
law that every city allows them somewhere.
Mendenhall opened the public hearing.
No testimony.
Mendenhall closed the public hearing brining the meeting back to the Commission.
Mendenhall commended City Staff on revisions.

to remove "see also twin home" as well as 18.06.260F to remove "see also duplex and zero lot line
residence." Ayre seconded.
With all commission members understanding the motion they voted.
Rall Call Vote: Brandon Jackson, Yes; Carrie Holm, Yes; TJ Budge, Yes; Brady Smith, Yes; Dan
Stoddard, Yes; Rebecca Berls, Yes; Thais Ayre, Yes; Jason Mendenhall, Yes. Motion carried.
GENERAL BUSINESS
1. An application for a preliminary plat for the Bilyeu Estates Subdivision, Division 7. Applicant
proposes to subdivide 6.9 acres into 17 residential lots. Property is in the SW % of Section 4,
Township 6 South, Range 34 East of the Boise Meridian, Idaho, generally located on Angela
Street between Philbin Road and Hiram Avenue, Chubbuck, Idaho. Current zoning designation
on the property places it partly in the Limited Residential (R-2) land use district, with the
remainder in the Bannock County Agriculture zone. The remainder is under application for
annexation and placement in the Limited Residential (R-2) zone. The Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use map designates this area for Mixed Use and Medium Density Residential development.
Application will be evaluated against standards found in municipal code section 17.12.100. Type
of Action: Recommendation. (Action Item)
Brady Smith, RMES, representing the applicant. Smith stated if the annexation is approved this will be
17 single family lots with R-2 designation. Utilities exist in Philbin and in adjoining phase 5 that will be
used to serve this project. It's a good addition to the overall project and will allow Angela Drive to
connect through to Philbin, giving a good secondary access point to the project. They are aware of the
conditions regarding the irrigation infrastructure being installed with project. They have been working
with City Staff on developing the plat to show appropriate lines to Philbin to pick up and tie in, in the
future with the joint ventures across Philbin.
Jackson asked about the number of lots. Smith explained that the numbering conventions are a little
confusing. The State clarified lot and block numbering so anytime within an existing block, even in
multiple phase, they are required to pick up previous numbers. So they are starting midway in a new
block with block 7 because they ended with block 6 in previous phase.
Jackson asked about the piece of property between lots 8 and 9. Smith said they are proposing a sewer
line there. There is also a connection on Philbin Road that was added and the developer may still use
that one only. If so, they will eliminate the lot line one. Property will be shared between 8 and 9 with
an easement encumbrance on both and they will make sure homeowners don't put any permanent
structures there.
Matson stated this is the last phase of Bilyeu Estates and a condition of approval includes that the
developer makes a contribution to the irrigation pump.
Stoddard made a motion to recommend approval to City Council of the preliminary plat with conditions
pending annexation and secondary irrigation system to be included along with associated fees.
Jackson seconded.
With all commission members understanding the motion they voted.
Roll Call Vote: Carrie Holm, Yes; Dan Stoddard, Yes; Brandon Jackson, Yes; TJ Budge, Yes; Thais Ayre,
Yes; Rebecca Berls, Yes; Jason Mendenhall, Yes. Motion carried.
Discuss a Recent Survey on street furniture (planters and trash receptacles) for the future
downtown development.
Downtown survey was done in October. Matson reviewed survey results. Question regarding styles for
downtown, one style preferred.
Mendenhall asked about survey results and if the city is looking at minimal maintenance with whatever
result is chosen. Matson confirmed yes, options are preferred to be as low maintenance as possible but
also secure.
Smith stated the feedback is good to see and he likes the idea of giving citizen's the chance to have
some input.
Matson will be giving providing survey results on the Mayor's blog around Thanksgiving and will post a
link for that video.
Mendenhall entertained a motion to adjourn; Jackson made the motion. Stoddard seconded. All voted
to adjourn at 7:44pm.
