Re: Amendment to PUD for Founders Square
Dear Val,
We are seeking * Tryld"tent to the approval for Founders Square PUD that was granted by theCity of Rexburg in 2008. The requested amendment is limited to the method in which points areawarded under the terms of the City's PUD ordinance. The subdivision layout, density,infrastructure, lot sizes and all physical features of the development will remain the same,including the three parks (one of which is constructed).
W9 are seeking to allow a greater flexibility for future lot buyers to design their homes andindividual landscaping. Our development will continue to have tree lined streets with sidewalksand colonial style street lights. While future owners will be provided greater architecturalflexibility, we have inserted into the CCR the new requirement that each home must have a frontporch of at least 80 square feet in size, and we continue to require that garages be recessedbehind the front wall of the house.
Attached are the following:
1. the City of Rexburg application form;
2. a revised written submittal with changes in redline / trackchanges for easy review;3. a spreadsheet that shows the past point totals and the proposedf,oint totals; and,4. a plan of the subdivision, that is unchanged from the earlier submittal and approval.
we also will change the name of this subdivision to university parks.
Please call with any questions you may have and I will be happy to provide any additionalinformation you may need to review this request.

Increased from PUD ordinance.All dwellings are designed with an active
or passive solar feature. The solar feature
shall be a solar water heater, trombe wall,
earth insulation of a majority of the walls,
the building designed so that the main
exposure faces south and has windows to
allow solar access, or other features as
approved by the Planning andZoning

siding, wood board and batten siding,
wood shingles, etc. Facsimiles such as
cementious hardboard (for horizontal
siding) and faux stone (for real stone) will
be considered on a case by case basis. (Up

The design criteria in the CCR require
quality siding and roofing materials.
While the emphasis on Colonial
Architecture has been removed, the
requirement for a front porch (minimum
80 sq. ft.) is inserted into the CCR.
Roof materials should also be appropriate
to the style. All roofs of main buildinss are

I University Parks has three common
I recreation areas that include a play
I structure, BBQ Pit, covered pavilion
I picnic area, pathways and benches. These
I neighborhood parks will be spatially
I distributed across the development with
I one park in the NW corner; the second
I common area is the central park at the
entrance to the development. The third
open space area will be in the NE corner
of the development, on the higher
elevation.
In addition to being well distributed across
the neighborhood, one open space/park
will occur in each of the three phases.
Also, the three open space areas will be
connected with internal pathways or
sidewalks allowing the free movement
between the common areas. The park in
the NW corner will provide a direct
pedestrian connection to 2nd East.

Maximum potential number of residential units, calculated as follows:
a. Determine residential development area as follows: subtract from gross area
any area allocated for churches, schools, and public buildings,
b. Divide residential development area (excluding public and private streets) by
the minimum residential lot size permitted in the underlying zone. This is themaximum potential number of residential units:
36.28 Acres * 43,560 feeUacre: 1,580,357 total square feet
1,580,357 -487,212 (public right-of-way):1,093,145 (NDA) (Dick: it may
not matter but the Row calculation may be a little different in the NW
corner because ofthe redesign.)
1,093,145 | 121000 (minimum tot size) :91.09 potential number of lots.
Then with an anticipated 100+ points for our density bonus we would be
granted 4.84 units per net developable acre (l\DA) and multipty it by our
current net developable acre (NDA) of25.09 acres (1,0930145 square feet).
4.84 x25.06: 121.46 potential number of lots.
Proposed number of residential units: 108 proposed residentiar units, which is
an average of2.98 units pergross acre.

A narrative description of the planned unit development and the manner in which
it meets the purpose set out in subsection A of this section:
I. The site is zoned LDR-I which allows for three units per acre. The site is
36.28 acres in size which could allow as many as l2l lots with the density
bonus. universitv Parks (frmlv Founders Square) is planned at 10g lots
or 2.98 units per gross acre. Therefore, we are asking for the density
allowed within the current zoning. rrowever, because of the minimum
12,000 square foot minimum lot size requirement, and the topography of
the site, we could not build this plan without the pUD ordinance. Our
plan is for single family residential only. The site has been described
accurately as being in a ,.hollow." This has created some design
challenges and opportunities. The pLlD has allowed us to design a
community with a central plaza, as open space. we have also included
two additional neighborhood parks that will provide pathways,
benches, covered picnic areas, a play structure, etc. that will be
accessible to the whole community of Rexburg.
The internal open spaces give this neighborhood a sense of community.
The open spaces have an attraction that will draw members of the
communitli together. The home owners can come together informally
and at times formally by organizing events. Accordingty, more of the
open space is held in common ownership allowing for smaller lot sizes as
the active open space is maintained by the homeowners association.
The smaller lot sizes also provide an opportunity to design an early
American style of streets, landscaping, sidewalks, and housing types. All
the sidewalks are set back from the streets which will allow for tree lined
streets throughout the community, making it a very pedestrian friendly
community. The homes are built closer to the sidewatk making the front
porc\a more inviting location to qpend lime ylth frleqds and neighbors.
The garages are all set back from the front of the home. This willaltow
us to virtually eliminate the overbearing garages that dictate the
streetscape. We want the sidewalk, front porch, gnd pgepler to be the
focal point ofthe home, not the garage.
The master plan allows for conservation of land as an important
resource to the community. we realize that the 6'hilltop" in Rexburg is a
unique location. The resources of the University are close. Also, the new
LDS Temple will create market needs for volunteer workers of
retirement age. Another advantage of this location in Rexburg is access
to Downtown for entertainment and shopping. Virtually, this
community will provide an affordable bu! quality product with various
home and lot sizes that witl appeal to all stages of life, from the young
married couple to the empty nesters. This is key as studies have shown
that communities with varied housing and product types prove to belonger lasting and vibrant neighborhoods.

v. Finally' the smaller lot sizes provide a greater return on the pubtic
investment. Sewer lines and water lineso as a public utility, serve morehomes per lineal foot. Similarlyo the private utilities of telephone, power
and gas are more efficiently using their resources. The common area
open spaces place less demand on the public parks system. And, the
design of the neighborhood provides for good neighborhood
communication and security.

The second and third phases will begin as soon as the market forces permit

Densitv Requirements:
This proposed PUD application does not request any cornmercial uses. The zoning
designation of three units per acre applied to this parcel of 36.28 acres less the rights-of-
way would allow only 91.09 dwelling units. under the new puD ordinance, using a basedensity of 3.63 units per acre and by obtaining the density bonus of 100+ points ;ouldallow us to have 4.84 units per NDA, bringing the allowable units to l2l lots. theproposed design at 108 lots is well below the allowable density. Also, the proposed plan
