The preliminary plat was designed to meet all the applicable City of Chubbuck standards and requirements. PROPERTY BACKGROUND The subject property is a 2.55 -acre parcel of undeveloped Iand located directly northwest of the Siphon Road and Yellowstone Avenue Intersection. The project is neighbored to the west by the Wyndhaven Subdivision (multi -family development), the north by the Paradise Acers Subdivision (single-family development). The City of Chubbuck also has constructed a sewer lift station in the northeastern portion of the property. To the east, across Yellowstone Avenue, an RV and boat dealership operates and to the south, across Siphon Road, there are a series of commercial operations. The subject property is zoned General Commercial (C-2) and the City of Chubbuck Comprehensive Plan identifies its Future Land Use as Commercial. The subject property is neighbored to the west and north by Single -Family Residential (R-1), to the east by Industrial (I), to the south by General Commercial (C- 2), and to the southwest by Limited Residential (R-2) zones. The ground surface is relatively flat, sloping from west to east and falls approximately 4 feet across the property. A Fort Hall Irrigation Canal runs along the eastern portion of the property within a 80' wide Right -of -Way, centered on the existing canal. Culinary water will be provided by the City of Chubbuck, an 8" water line is stubbed into the southeastern portion of the property by the adjacent Wyndhaven Subdivision. Sanitary sewer will also be provided by the City of Chubbuck, an existing gravity sewer main runs along the north property line within a 20' wide utility easement. There are two additional sewer mains, one gravity and one pressurized, that run within the 50' wide utility easement along the properties east boundary originating or terminating at the sewer lift station to the northeast. Joint trench utilities (power, gas, fiber, ect.) are available both above and below ground along Siphon Road. PROPOSAL INFORMATION Our proposal is to construct 48 new multi -family dwellings, comprised of five separate structures, on the property which will be split into 12 separate lots. The goal of this development is to meet the current market demands and provide quality affordable residences to the community. This project would share City of Chubbuck — Development Services Division Pauline Flats - Preliminary Plat Narrative September 18, 2023 Page 2 DOI' the existing access onto Siphon Road, which was built and utilized by the Wyndhaven Subdivision, a high-density residential development, directly to the west. The interior of the subdivision will be serviced by a network of private drives and parking stalls. The two-way drive aisles will be 24' wide with the one-way drive being 12' wide. All proposed parking stalls will be 10'x18' in size. Our proposal shows that we will be reconfiguring the existing access to provide improved traffic flow between the existing and proposed developments and Siphon Road. With Siphon Road being classified as an arterial road a Right -of -Way of 120 feet is required. In our earlier discussions with City Staff, they stated that they would support a deviation request to reduce the Siphon Right -of - Way to 100 feet total. Currently there is 24 feet of right-of-way on the north side of Siphon Road. Our proposal shows that we are providing an additional 26 feet of right-of-way for a total of 50 feet north of Siphon Road centerline. Access onto Yellowstone Avenue will be restricted primarily due to its proximity to the intersection with Siphon Road. The development has easy access to existing water, sewer, and joint trench utilities. Water will be provided by the existing water stub into the property. Fire hydrants will be extended through the parking areas to provide fire suppression, and the development will be serviced by a master meter. Sewer will connect into the existing sewer main that runs along the north boundary of the property and a new main will be extended south through the western drive aisle. Storm water runoff produced by the development will be graded to the eastern portion of the parking lot and into a retention area. If the proposed retention area is not able to contain the full runoff volume a subsurface retention area will be added beneath the eastern parking areas. Trash generated by the development will be collected in the two dumpster areas shown on the plat and will be picked up by the City. As stated earlier Fort Hall Irrigation has a canal located along the east portion of the property, which lies within an 80' Right -of -Way. Our proposal shows us installing a 76" canal culvert along a portion of our property which would allow us to encroach within a portion of said Right -of -Way with some of our parking and a shallow retention pond/swale. PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICATION RESPONSES The Pauline Flats development proposal is in compliance with the applicable provisions of the city code. Although the current C2 zoning does not outright permit our proposed multi -family residential use, it is conditionally permitted. Our application was submitted along with a conditional use permit application to address this issue. In terms of public facilities, the proposal includes provision for parking, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and utility services, which can be provided to the newly created development. In terms of water and irrigation, our proposal does not include a secondary pressurized irrigation system as the lot size and adjacent properties do not require it. The development will be watered via the culinary water system provided by the City of Chubbuck. The proposal does not exceed the traffic count as listed in the code and therefore, only a Traffic Impact Statement is required, which was provided in our application packet. Our project, Pauline Flats, is an infill development that is designed to meet the current market demands and provide quality, affordable residences to the community. It is situated on an undeveloped 2.55 -acre City of Chubbucic — Development Services Division Pauline Flats - Preliminary Plat Narrative September 18, 2023 Page 3 parcel of land, located directly northwest of the Siphon Road and Yellowstone Avenue intersection, and surrounded by existing development on all sides. As an infill development, it utilizes land that is already developed, rather than extending outward into undeveloped areas. This approach is in line with the city's goals of promoting sustainable and responsible growth and reducing sprawl. One of the key benefits of infill development is that it can help to revitalize existing neighborhoods and make better use of existing infrastructure. In the case of Pauline Flats, we will be sharing and reworking the existing Siphon Road access to improve traffic flow between the existing and proposed developments, and Siphon Road. This will help to reduce congestion and make the area more pedestrian -friendly. Additionally, our project will have easy access to the trail system being built by the city along New Day Parkway, providing convenient recreational opportunities for residents. Another advantage of infill development is that it can help to reduce the enviromnental impacts of new development. Because our project is located in an already developed area, it will not require the construction of new roads, water and sewer lines, or other infrastructure. This can help to reduce the amount of land that is disturbed and help to preserve natural areas and wildlife habitats. Additionally, our project does not include a secondary pressurized irrigation system and will be watered via the culinary water system. Infill development can also help to promote social and economic sustainability. By providing new housing opportunities in existing neighborhoods, it can help to create more diverse and inclusive communities. It can also help to support local businesses and services by providing new customers. Additionally, it can help to create jobs and stimulate economic activity. Our project is designed to comply with all applicable city design standards and development regulations, as well as zoning requirements of the underlying C2 zoning district and other applicable development standards. We have submitted our application along with a conditional use permit application, as the current zoning does not outright permit our proposed use. However, as a Conditionally permitted use, we believe that this project will be a valuable addition to the community and will be in line with the City of Chubbuck's comprehensive plan. We kindly request that the Land Use Commission approve our application as proposed. If you have any questions regarding this request, please give me a call at (208) 417-0522.
