Re: Amendment to PUD for Founders Square
Dear Val,
We are seeking an amendment 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."*ui" the same,including the three parks (one of which is constructed).
We 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:
l. the City of Rexburg application form;
2- a revised written submittal with changes in redline I trackchanges for easy review;3. a spreadsheet that shows the past point totals and the proposed point totali; and,4- a plan of the subdivision, that is unchanged from the earlier submittal and approval.

Final Master Plan Application
September.20l3
PurDose:
The purpose ofthis application is a request for approval ofa proposed 108 lot Planr
Unit Development located at the SE comer of 2no East and Sunrise Drive. With the
current zoning on this LDR-I parcel, allowing 3 units per acre, and with the restrictions
of the topography of the land, the PUD ordinance will provide flexibility in the lot sizes
and set backs while providing a community feel and open spaces to enhance the overall
look and livability of this location. This flexibility will allow the proposed plan to
provide a harmoniousSgsigr throughout the communrty, tradilio4al street designs, cg4tral
usable open space, commumty parks with children's play equipment and a pedestrian
friendly atmosphere.

Maximum potential number of residential units, calculated as follows:
a. Determine residential development area asi 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 the
maximum potential number of residential units:
36.28 Acres * 43,560 feeflacre: 1,580,357 total square feet
1,580,357 - 487,212 (public right-of-way) : 1,093,145 (I{DA) (Dick: it may
not matter but the ROW calculation may be a little different in the NW
corner because of the redesign.)
1,093,145 | 12,000 (minimum lot 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 (NDA) and multiply it by our
current net developable acre (NDA) of 25.09 acres (1,093,145 square feet).
4.84 x 25.06 : I 2 1.46 potentiol number of lots.
Proposed number of residential units: 108 proposed residential units, which is
an average of 2.98 units per gross acre.

An approximate tabulation of all dwelling units by type: 108 single-family units
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 121 tots with the density
bonus. University Parks (frmly Founders Square) is planned at 108 lots
or 2.98 units per gross acre. Thereforeo we are asking for the density
allowed within the current zoning. Howevero 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 PLJD 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.
II. The internal open spaces give this neighborhood a sense of community.
The open spaces have an attraction that will draw members of the
community together. The home owners can come together informally
and at times formally by organizing events. Accordingly, 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 sidewalk making the front
porc\a mole !4vi{i4g location to spend time ylth friends arld 4eighbors.
The garages are all set back from the front of the home. This will allow
us to virtually eliminate the overbearing garages that dictate the
streetscape. We want the sidewalk, front porch, pnd peopleo !q be the
focal point of the home, not the garage.
The master plan allows for conseryation of land as an important
resource to the community. We realize that the,,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 a!_affordable_b! quality product with various
home and lot sizes that will 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 be
longer lasting and vibrant neighborhoods.

V. Finally, the smaller lot sizes provide a greater return on the public
investment. Sewer lines and water lines, as a public utility, serve more
homes per lineal foot. Similarly, 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.

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 base
density of 3 .63 units per acre and by obtaining the density bonus of 100+ points would
allow us to have 4.84 units per NDA, bringing the allowable units to l2l lots. The
proposed design at 108 lots is well below the allowable density. Also, the proposed plan

Bill Collins, Jackson, WY. He is one of the two developers of Founders Square. The name of the
PUD is being changed to Univetsity Parks. They are continuing to teorgrnize their approach, to get
some construction activity going in this subdivision. The pdce point on the houses will be brought
down to create a more affordable product which could potennalTy cater to BYU-I faculty and staff.
The intention is to b"gto selling lots below their cost for as long as they can sustain that, in hopes of
jumpstaring some construction activity. They see this as a real opportunity for a win-win.
It is fundamentally still the same development. There are the same 108 residential lots. There will
still be three parks. There will be the same ftee lined streets, even though they are slightly backing
off of the original landscaping requirements for homeowners. The developer will continue to plant
two trees along each lot fronrage between the curb and the sidewalk. Garages will continue to be
required to be recessed back.
The bones of this development remain unchanged. They want to change some of the CC&Rs
(Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions) and increase flexibility for buyers. The changes would
include: emphasis on colonial architectute would be removed; the prohibition of multiple materials
for siding would be temoved - the requirement had been a single type of siding. The prohibition of
vinyl siding would be temoved. Mt. Collins reiterated that they are backing off on landscape
requirements for property ownefs.
The requirement for a ftont porch has been added into the CC&Rs, with the minimum size of 80
square feet.
These ate subde changes that would increase the flexibility for buyers and have a less imposing
package of design criteria.
Mr. Collins refered to the point totals document that was shown on the overhead screen, which
showed ^ summarrzation of the history of points for the odginal PUD, and the proposed points. It
was difficult getting a grasp of the points because in a sense they are in the eye of the beholdet.
There are 100 points tequired to get the density bonus. The total of this PUD remains 140 points.
Chairman Robinson, stating he was tepresenting a Commissioner who was not in attendance,
asked about the removal of the colonial architectute theme from the CC&Rs. This architectural
feature was one of the biggest reasons the PUD was approved. The one house in the subdivision
does not confom, as the CC&Rs were not in place.
Bill Collins said today is a diffetent wotld from an economic standpoint. To mandate or require
colonial architecture was a good idea at the time. Times do change. That tlpe of narrow restriction
lrr2013 would impinge on their ability to market the property. It is not a positive time for such a
restriction. Nothing prohibits someone from building a colonial style home if they wish to do so.
Richie Webb asked Mr. Collins to address what he feels the reasons are for why the lots have not
sold.
Bill Collins said it is the overall economic condition of the country and the housing market nation-
wide, although Eastern Idaho and Rexbug never really went into the tailspin of other areas. He feels
the project would have taken off three or four yeats eatliet.
Richie Webb asked if Mr. Collins felt the ptoposed changes would make a significant difference in
the ability to market the development.
Bill Collins said the changes are minor changes. The changes themselves are not going to make the
diffetence. These changes will supplement other efforts. Hopefully the timing is better. If three ot
four houses can be gotten under construction, that would genelate more excitement and more
activity. If they have to sell a few lots below cost to make that happen' it will pay off in the longet
run. He is not holding up the changes as the punKce ;it is iust g"i"g to femove a litde bit of the
pfessufe'

Dan Hanna said the subdivisions that are develipittg, kl Summedield and Stonebridge' have very
small lots. In this market thete is a teduced i.t r"ttiory, so there is a demand' If buildets can get

Bill Collins said the-y have been monitoring the inventory and feel now is the time to staft to fe-
energlzethis effort. H" ug."d that spec hol.s could make a wotld of difference'
Chairman Robinson asked ifJudy Hobbs had any comments'
Judy Hobbs stated Bill Collins has presented the i,"" ""ry
well' Timing is everything' Timing was
teally poor in the fall of 2007.Theteis now tenewed interest in small, less expensive homes. The
young families who are probably tto, going to be hete theit whole lives, ate taising families' going to
school, working, etc., and may not want aiarge back yatd. The success of the Kattchnet
Summedield development tehects this; it is a top notch subdivision.
The proximity of U-iiversity Patks to the Univ.rsity is going to b,e a big d:aw' It is within bicycle and
walking distance. The timeis hete and now to ,"-.n r{o.. itt"y have io- do- something different and
come back to the matket ftesh. Letting people have more autonomy in building their home is a
positive. With the Kartchner homes, itir. ir. a certainnumbet of iloot plans that can be built' The
builders get them ;;;, efficiently and well. That is the type of thing being looked at for university
Parks.
DanHannaaskedifthenameofthedevelopmenth-adt3bechanged
Judy Hobbs believes from a matketing p"nie.tirr" that it is a good thing to do'
Richie Webb said thatJudy Hobbs spoke of the Kartchner Summerfield homes as being
comparable. Does Univetsity Parks also plan to do four or five different home plans, Ietting people
select from those plans?
Judy Hobbs said at this point she does not think that Bill Collins and his partner would build the
homes. There would be multiple builders used to build the homes.
Melanie Davenport said a couple of weeks ^go ^n applicant came before the Commission
tegarding building a twin home. The Commission wanted specific details of what that home was
going to be. In the description tonight, it looks like almost anything could be built. She
wondeted why thete are not mote specifics on the building design and what is appropriate for this
subdivision, in terms of roof pitch, insets, etc.
Bill Collins said the CC&RS are detailed.
Dan Hanna expressed that protecting the integdty of the development is important. Melanie
Davenport agreed.
Chairman Robinson clarified that tonight the Commission is looking at the changing of the PUD
tequirements.
Bill Collins stated that the CC&Rs do address roof pitch, setbacks, lightrng and other specifics.
Chairman Robinson reviewed the process of the PUD points system. The City planner at that time
in 2008 did the review and assigned the points. As mentioned eadier, it is a one-person observation.
It is very subjective. This PUD met the tequired points then and now, needing 100 points and
meeting t total of 1,40 points.
Melanie Davenpot said she likes the name change to University Parks and feels the development
urill look fabulous.
Dan Hanna said the market has changed, but there still is a demand for homes especially in the
stated price range. This is infill within City limits that is closer to the University. The Commission
has a vested interested in helping people to be successfirl as they invest in this community.
Chairman Robinson said he did like the original plan better, but he does not want to see the mafly
empty lots continue to be there.
Gil Shirley said he liked the idea of a theme, but pricewise this change is almost the way the
developer has to go.
Richie Webb asked Mr. Collins to addtess tryirg to create variation, so there is not a ttact home
look to the development from house to house. He understands the price range issue, as the homes
have to be marketable fot the applicant to succeed, but he would want to make sure it is nice and
atttactive and has a good atmosphere. He wondered if there is language to address the issue.
Gil Shidey asked if brick or stone is being required.
Bill Collins said it is not being tequired. It would be the choice of the home buildet.
Dan Ffanna asked if the CC&Rs require anything specific other than the porch and the galzige
setback in terms of exterior elevations.
Bill Collins said the CC&Rs ate very detailed. They contain criteria that address the site as well as
the structure. There is an architectural review committee who will review submitted home plans.
4
Curently this committee would be made up of 3 people appointed by the developer ; aftet half the
lots are sold, the Homeowners Association (HOA) board will select the people for the committee.
Mr. Collins read some of the specifications from the CC&Rs. There is a maximum as well as a
minimum setback, to try to maintain a sfteet fiontage. There are minimum separations between
adjoining driveways. There is a requirement for ground cover. There is a requirement for the
developer to install two trees on every sffeet frontage; a comer lot would have two frontages. There
are restrictions on outdoor lighting, and restrictions on satellite dishes and antennas (rear of lot or
screened). Regarding the actual structufe, the home is to be a single family home only; it cannot be a
modulat home. There is a minimum amount of square footage on the first floor of 1000 square feet;
if there is a second floot, there is a minimum square footage of 700 square feet. Maximum height is
30 feet. Front porches are tequired. Allowed siding materials are listed. The roof pitch is a minimum
of 6 and 72. Bxtenor colors are addressed. Basements afe allowed. Accessory stfuctures are
addtessed. There are provisions addressing what can be parked in the yard, etc.
Jedd Walker said the redline document of the final master plan changes that was included with the
application u/as very helpfirl. He feels this is the exact same development with a new name, leniency
on materials, the new tequirement of potches, and leniency on landscaping as far as what is required
by each individual developer. Just the finishes have been changed. He reiterated that it is the exact
same development. He has no problem with it. He does not think the quality will be any less. A
home with vinyl may not be what the developet initially wanted to see, but as far as the variety of
homes, look at any development in town; just by the nature of people, there would be a variety. He
does not think there is anything to wonry about and that this is just fine.
Gil Shitley asked if there are time limits on yards and landscaping completion.
Bill Collins said the time limit for installation is one yeat.
Melanie Davenport asked if there is a recommended plant list for buyers.
Mr. Collins said they could provide such a list.
Natalie Powell clarified fot the Commission that this request does not go to City Council. The
decision can be made by the Commission tonight. There is not a staff report. However, Val
Christensen wanted it stated that, in regard to the buildings' thermal envelope, the homes should
exceed the values tequired by the cuffent energy code in order to get the exta PUD points.
Dan Hanna motioned to approve the modificationf amending of the University Parks (formerly
Founders Square) Planned Unit Development eUD), as presented at tonight's meeting and as
recorded in the meeting minutes. Jedd Walker seconded the motion.
None opposed. Motion caffied.
Winston Dyer resumed the Chair.
Unfinished/Old Business:
1,. Development Code Changes Discussion continued - Lighting Standards
The Ughting Standatds document was shown on the overhead screen.
Btet Stoddard stated that the document has been cleaned up as per the recommendations of the
P&Z Commission, so that it is readable and functions efficiently.
Chairman Dyet said this issue was previously discussed thoroughly at theJune 6,2073P&Z
Commission meeting. The document is a revision incorpotating the requested changes.
Thete was consensus that the document reflects the Commission's discussion and concerns.
Btet Stoddatd cladfied that tegarding the entfue residential lighting section of the document being
moved to the Subdivision Ordinance, the Public Works Department is currently working on the
Subdivision Ordinance.
The Subdivision Ordinance will eventually be put into the Development Code Ordinance document.
Dan Flanna motioned to recommend to the City Council to adopt the Lighting Standards revision
with the specified changes, as ^ patt of the Development Code Ordinance No. 1026 changes that
will eventually move forward for City Council apptoval. Jedd Walket seconded the motion.
None opposed. Motion carried.
The Chaitman explained to the audience that the Commission is following Robets Rules of Order.
Everyone is allowed to have their say. Everyone is courteous. Both sides of an issue are discussed
thotoughly befote a decision is made.
2. Chairman Dyet stated at the lastP&Z meeting on September 56 , there was a discussion
tegarding the new BYU-Idaho student housing ptoposal. As per minutes of that meeting, staff was
going to speak with BYU-Idaho representatives regarding the parking issue. There is not any
follow-up information tonight. He asked that this follow-up issue be scheduled for the next meeting.
Compliance: None
Non conuoversial Items Added to the Agenda:
7. Report on Carpet One Design Rerriew Committee meeting. September 10.2013
Thaine Robinson stated that the Carpet One building will be located just south of the John Deere
dealership. The developer wanted to build a steel building. Thete arc major coridors on both sides
of the property, 12fr rWest and Hwy 20. The meeting conclusions were: regarding the 12s West
building entrance - eave extensions, take extensions, change of color rnd mateia,ls, and canopy over
the entrance would be required to help give the building some relief. A fagade plan of the 12d tJ7est
side of the property is to be submitted. A landscape buffer will be created along the Highway 20
side of the propetty. The applicants will meet with City Engineering Department regarding a
Development Agreement conceming the projected right-of-way tnd future curb, gutter, and
sidewalk.
2. Report on Rexburg Storage Design Review Committee meeting, October 1. 2013
Thaine Robinson said that the property where storage sheds will be built is a triangular lot on
South 5s West near the lr,iltoad ttack. It is encoutaging to see someone want to develop here. The
property is zoned Light Industrial (LI). There is a front yard setback requfuement of 10 feet in the LI
zone. Due to the varied setbacks in the arez,rhe Committee felt they could concede the entire 10
feet so that the building could be at the property line. The meeting conclusions were: Sidewalk and a
boulevard strip would be part of this ptoject. This would set a precedent for other developments
coming fotwatd. In addition, the sfteetscape would be upgraded by using building color variations
and varying building materials.
3. The Chairman had two issues he wished to address for the record.
Fitst, the Chair stated that Elaine McFerdn is charged with putting together theP&Z meetings, and
in understanding who is going to be here and who is not. She is responsible for the scheduling of
applicants and keeping them informed about their proposals moving forward. All of the
Commissionets teceive an email ftom her tegarding attending the meetings. She is not getting
responses back from everyone. The Commissionets have the responsibility to noti$r her. Please be
courteous and give a response as soon as the email is seen. The Commission cannot conduct its
business without a bettet response from the Commissioners.
Secondly, the Chair stated each of the Commissioners has been asked by their community to serve
on this Commission. It is recognized that this is done with no compensation and that each of us has
other intetests and concefns. None the less, in accepting this responsibility, each Commissioner has
agteed to be here the 1"and 3'd Thursday evenings of each month. The idea should be to plan on
being here fust rfiher than anything else. It should take precedence. ril7e need the support. We need
to have a quorum. It is embarassing to the City of Rexburg when a quonrm cannot be gotten
together to conduct the business and the affats of the community and fi.rlfill the duty and
responsibilities to which we have been called. The Chair would issue a plea for everyone to re-
evaluate and tecommit if necessary. The Commission has done some phenomenat things; the
community reflects all of the Commissioners' effotts and sacrifices; we just want this to be able to
continue in a smooth, ordetly way. He appteciates all of the Commissioners in all that they do, the
sacdfices they make, and the time they give to be here, away from f^dLy and other interests so that
the good of the community can be served.

University Parks (formerly Founders Square)
Amended Planned Unit Development (PUD) - #13 00375
On September 23,2013, Bill Collins of Collins Planning, presented by e-mail to the Rexbwg Planning
&Zonng Coordinator a Request and Application to amend the Founders Square PUD (08 00023).
On Octobet 3,2073, Bill Collins ptesented to the Rexburg Planning &Zonng Commission the Request
for approval to amend the Founders Square PUD (name is going to change to University Parks). Per the
submitted application, the request is limited to the method in which points are awarded under the tetms
of the City's PUD ordinance. The subdivision layout, density, infrastructure, lot sizes and all physical
features of the development will remain the same. The applicant is seeking to allow a gteater flexibility
for futute lot buyers to design their homes and individual landscaping.
