ACTION ITEMS:
1. Revised Preliminary Plat – The Villas:
The developer is making this change as a result of staff’s
nd
recommendation to eliminate a cul-de-sac that was too close to 52E. on the original preliminary plat. Mitchell
Greer, Rocky Mountain Engineering, 2043 E Center St., Pocatello, Idaho stated the changes made were the
th
alignment of some streets and the elimination of other streets. There are a couple of lots that can no longer face 17
and the 15 foot landscape strip will be hard to maintain. Commission Hunsaker suggested the developer put fences
th
along the backyards at 17 and have them put in a main gate on each of the 8 properties. Ron explained the City
traditionally does not dictate how a developer handles landscaping in their subdivision, as long as, they comply with
the City Code and suggested that we let the developer decide how best to landscape these properties.
Commissioner Richards motioned to recommend to City Council to approve the Revised Preliminary
Plat for the Villas, subject to staff technical review. Commission Taylor seconded. All in favor – the motion passed
th
2. Site Plan – 2801 E 14 North:
Ron stated the landscaping and setbacks are in compliance, however,
they have to match up with the existing sidewalk on adjacent properties and shift the sidewalk on this property from
the edge of the street to the inside of the lot with the landscaping strip between the sidewalk and the street.
Kendall Christensen, Steel System Inc., 4409 Haroldson Dr., Idaho Falls, ID. was present for any
questions the Commission had.
th
Commissioner Taylor moved to approve the site plan for 2801 E. 14 North, as presented, subject to
technical review. Commissioner Butler seconded. All in favor – the motion passed.
3. Site Plan – 4060 E Sunnyside:
This item was not completed, so it was tabled.
DISCUSSION ITEMS:
1. Comprehensive Plan Draft:
Ron advised the Commission the Comprehensive Plan draft is ready,
except for the census numbers. He would like approval to move forward with the acceptance of the Comprehensive
Plan. Commissioner Richard Butler suggested moving the census numbers to an addendum to the Comprehensive
Plan, so the Comprehensive Plan will not have to be amended each time the census numbers change.

2. City of Idaho Falls Planning and Zoning Actions:
Commissioner Donovan was absent
