Certificate of Occupancy for 148 Harvard Ave.
Ralph M. Kern
This memo is to request a change in the classification of the Certificate of Occupancy for our home at
148 Harvard Ave. in Rexburg from a duplex to a single family home.
The home was built with a basement apartment for one of my wife's care givers. The home is in an area
zoned for a duplex, but apparently a "mother in law" apartment for a care giver is allowed in a single
family home. I didn't know of this option when building the home, the appraiser was the first to
Thank you,

Public Headnss:'1,. 7:05 pm - Conditional Use Permit - Approximately 746 & 148 HawardAve. - to allow a
Twin Home in a Low Density Residential3 (LDR3) zone.
Chairman Dyer explained the ptocedure that is followed for public headng. The applicant or a
representative will ptesent the proposal. The Commission and the public may ask clari$'ing
questions to help them to understand the proposal. Public testimony will be taken, followed by the
staff evaluation. The Commission will then deliberate the matter, based on the City's Development
Code, the community's input, and the information presented, in order to come to a decision.
Ralph Ketn, 158 Harcard Ave. He is the property owner and apphcant and lives next door to the
subject property. He is requesting a Conditional Use Petmit for a t'win home to be built on the
specifred property that is in the LDR3 zone. Several years ago ( March 2009), he went through a
rezorre process with most of his neighbors joining him that changed the zoning of most of the block
to LDR3, with the idea that it would be a suitable buffer zone between student housing and LDM.
Tonight is his effort to move forward with what he planned.
The subject property was shown on the overhead screen. There are two lots.
The site plan was viewed. The parking and 2-car gurages would be in the back of the property.
Landscaping would be more than is required, and the building and paving would be considerably less
than the maximum percentage allowed. There would be a wide drive created by taking a small piece
from the lot his curent home is on.
Dan Hanna arrived at7:09 pm.
Ralph Kern showed a rendering and floor plan of the twin home. The appeal to him of this twin
home is that the master bedroom and all the necessary living Lre s are on the main floor, urith the
other bedtooms upstafus, in each unit.
He would like flexibility in doing this project. Part of the reason for building this project is for
handicapped accessibility, as his wife has multiple scletosis. He wants to go ahead with the project,
but it may not be this patticular home. He may want to build a home with a basement apartment. .It
would be a duplex rather than a t'win home but still would be a 2-farlrrly dwelling. In theit cuffent
home, there is a basement apaftrnent whete Mts. Ketn's caregfver lives, which gives them comfort.
The Chair asked staff if this issue regatding a possible duplex affects how this CUP is approached.
Val Chdstensen stated Mt. Kern spoke to him just before the meeting about this issue. The
information Mr. Kem has ptovided shows a certain product. Mr. Chdstensen does not think it
would be building a lesser product but it may be a different configuration than is shown. The reason
Mr. Kem might do this is to keep the same configuration that his wife has now in their home - up
and down instead of side to side. Look at the actual use itself and establish whether or not from a
conditional use standpoint either case would be satisfactory.
Chairman Dyer reminded the Commission that this Conditional Use Permit request is under the
authority of Commission approval. The proposal does not have to go forward to City Council.
Chuck Pottet arrived at7:1,5 prl;^.
Dan Flanna asked if there ^re ^ny different requirements fot a twin home or a duplex in tegard to
lot size.
Yal Chdstensen said the duplex would be less restrictive. It is looking at two smaller lots versus
one large lot. The area requirement is met with eithet project. Staff does not have a problem with
this. Mr. Christensen said his staff teport would have been the same.
Richie Webb asked the effect of taking a piece of the parcel Mr. Kern's cuffent home is located on
to make this ptoject work.
Ralph Kern said his home has a huge back yatd. Using a piece of the yatd will make little difference
othet than he will have to redo his landscaping, but it will glve a wider drive and allows an easier
tuming radius to the garages that arc planned.
The two subject lots were shown and clarified for the Commissionets.
Matk Rudd commented about the gatage on the property just to the west of the two subject lots
and the need for access.
Ralph Kern said that grage is owned by neighbor Steve Herdti who is here tonight. One of Mt.
Kem's agreemerits with Mr. Hetdti who he bought the subject property from, is that Mr. Herdti
would be allowed access to the g^rlge in question.
It was clarified for Dan Franna that the planned building will face the road.
Melanie Davenport asked what the Comprehensive Plan land use designation is for the subject
property.
Val Chdstensen stated that the Comptehensive Plan land use designation is Single Family
Residential. The LDR3 zontngcould allow the conditional use, and the Comprehensive Plan allows
this zone.
The Chair asked that duplexes in the neighborhood be pointed out for cladfication.
Ralph Kern pointed out several properties on the projected aerial photo map.
The Chait said the Commission encourages applicants to talk with the neighbots when something
like this CUP request is ptoposed.
Mr. Kern stated he has talked to neighbors Steve Herdti and the Barricks. He communicated with
all of the neighbots at the time of the rezone request several years ago @Iarch 2009). Only a couple
of propeties in the ate were not included in the rezorte to LDR3.
Chairman Dyet asked if thete have been others who took advantage of the zone change since that
time.
Mr. Kern said there was some attempt to develop property to the north, and there also was the idea
of building a church. These ideas did not work out.
Gil Shitley asked about selling the propety in the next 20 years and how access and parking would
be affected.
Val Christensen said pat of the teview at the time of the building permit would be that there is a
required easement.
Chairman Dyet asked if those in the audience had zny questions.
Steve Hetdti commented that he had discussed the easement issue with Ralph Kern.
There were no other comments from the audience.
Chaitman Dyer opened the public input portion of the hearing.
In Favot: None
Neuttat None
Opposed: None
Written Inouc None
Chairman Dyer closed the public input pottion and asked for the staff evaluation and
recommendations.
Val Chdstensen reviewed his staff report. The square footage comptes. Minimum lot size is met.
Staff considers the lots as grandfatheted. There are other homes in the area with duplexes.
The City Engineer did not have concems with infrastructure ot ftaffrc.
Patking in the tear is a very good solution especially if there is room to tum tather than cars having
to back into the right of way; the Commission may want the parking in the rear to be a condition.
Staff recommendation is to approve the Conditional Use Permit.
Chaitman Dyer clarified that the subject area was rezoned with this type of development in mind.
The neighborhood has similar uses. It appears to be an acceptable application. The Commission
could discuss any impacts or conditions.
Thaine Robinson stated that this project is a very good start to improve the subject sfteet and an
area which has some empty lots. He is in favor of the proposal.
Chairman Dyer added that there was significant effort in the past made by the applicant to join
with other property owners to perhaps have a latge development, possibly a Planned Unit
Development GUD) on this block. This did not come to fruition.
Melanie Davenpot said the presentation of a twin home tonight would be attractive to the
neighborhood. She wondered if something else would be as aestheti.rlly pleasing. In het mind, it is
twin home versus duplex.
The Chairman said one approach to addressing this concern would be that if the CUP is granted to
include a duplex, have r condition that it would be reviewed by staff or come before the
Commission again.
Jedd Walker asked if the two subject lots would have to be combined if a duplex is to be built.
Val Chdstensen said the lots would have to be combined.
Gil Shirley felt this would be good project atd an improvement for that street.
Thaine Robinson said he would be in favot of a condition of having parking in the back not only
for aesthetic purposes and safety, but also it would help the neighbot Mr.Herdti to have a right of
way.
Richie Webb said if the g r^ge had been ptesented as in front, it would have been akight with most
of the Commission, but if the applicant is willing to do as his site plan shows and have the parking
in the back, that is a positive and sets a standatd for aesthetics and functionality. For that reason, he
would support a condition to have parking in the back of the property.
Val Christensen stated Mr. Kem is already S.r-g access to Mr. Herdti for his g t:rge to the west of
the parcels.
Dan Flanna said duplexes or twin homes do not have design standards architecturally.
Melanie Davenport said there ate cetta:tn basic design requfuements. The building has to look like it
fits into the residenizl area.
Mary Ann Mounts said it makes the most sense to just have staff review the ptoject at the time of
the building permit process.
Dan Hanna motioned to approve the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow a Twin Home in an
LDR3 zone ^t apptoximately 146 & 148 Hanrard Ave., to include a condition to have parking in the
rezr, ^rtd that staff teview the elevations at the time of the building permit. Richie Webb seconded
the motion.
There was discussion on whether to state the CUP would be for either a twin home or a duplex.
Dan Hanna with&ew his motion.
4
City Attorney Stephen Zo[inge4 consulted by phone, clarified that the law is the same on both thetwin home and the duplex.
Dan Flanna motioned to approve the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow either a turin home ora duplex at the property location of approximately 746 and,748 Haward,Ave, with 2 conditions:
1) Maintain the parking in the tear of the specified property as represented in thep&Z
Commission public hearing tonight, September 5,207,.
2) The design and development shall be consistent with what was presented in the p&Z
Commission pubtc hearing tonight, Septembet 5,2073.
The "Standards Aoplicable to Conditional Use Permits" Section 6.12F in the Development Code
Ordinance No. 1026, will apply.
M"ry Ann Mounts seconded the motion.
None opposed. Motion canied.
Unfinished/Old Business:
1. Development Code Changes - Discussion will be continued at the next P&Z meeting.
New Business: None
Compliance: None
Non controvetsial Items Added to the Agenda:
1.. New BYU-Idaho Student Housing
Val Christensen addressed the issue. He wanted some input and guidance from the Commission
regarding this project.
Mr. Christensen pointed out the locadon of the project on the aeialmap.The site plan was viewed.
The University has a 60 /40 percent coverage requirement (only ."., .o.r-., 60 percent of land withimpervious sutface). It appears that the submitted plan does not meet this requirement.
Staff would like to see compactness or stacked units at the subject location ,rth". than the buildingsbeing spread out. Four stories would be the height.
The DeveloPment Code Ordinance No.1026 states under the University District Zone,s (JD)Permissible Lot Coverage: "... fn aIJD zone all buildings and structutes, inclusive of pariringlots,
shall not cover mote than sixty (60) percent of the lot oiparcel of land upon which thiy "r"!b."i.,'
The permissible lot coverage in the High Density ResidentialZones is 80/20 taio.
Jedd Walket stated that thelegal description for the University District sees the entire University
ploperty as all one lotf parcel. The University as a whole would be well within the required
pefcentages.
The subject development would be mainly stucco and brick. There would be about 850 beds.
There was discussion regarding the University having stated that they did not want to compete withthe private sector, as long as the private sector could meet the housing demand.
Jedd Walket said this development would basically replace the old dormitories; it is not a net gajn.It is not competing it is replacing. It is a by-right development.
Chaitman Dyet said the intention at the time the University District zone was written into the
Development Code would have been in regatd to the area colffnensrrate with the site plan.
Val Chdstensen said if the Commission is comfortable in looking at the matter as Jedd Walker had
stated (the University is 1 parcel), than the submitted plan may not need to be changed.
M"ry Ann Mounts said she is comfortable in looking at the issue as Mr. Walker is.
Chuck Portet said he is fine with this issue being in regard to the University as a whole.
The University would not make decisions that would be detrimental for the campus. They are
concerned with how their campus looks.
Val Christensen asked for claifrcation on whether there is anything staff needs to address
tegatding the lot coverage and patking. The design of the student housing development vrill be
reviewed at the time of the building permit process.
Chairman Dyet said in terms of the parking and the 60/40 permissible lot coverage ratio, it comes
down to thinking of the entire University property as 1 parcel, or just the area of pLposed
development.
There was consensus of the Commission that 60 / 40 permissible lot coverage would apply to the
University campus as a whole.
Jedd Walket said from the Univetsity's petspective, there is ample parking on the basis of looking
at the entire campus. Parking on campus is managed through the Parking Committee.
Melanie Davenport said she is concerned about the parking and exactly where the student housing
tesidents would park. To the west of this ptoject, the Ivy Apatments parking is not a good
situation. Most of their parking is visitor patking.
Mary Ann Mounts said students living at the Ivy wete not supposed to bring cars.
Jedd l7alker suggested that staff could ask the University to show how the parking fot the new
development is going to be managed.
The Chait said the subject project would meet the ordinance requirements for parking if it is looked
at ofl ^ campus-wide basis.
Richie Webb suggested that Val Christensen meet with BYU-I representatives on the parking issue
and then come back before the commission if there are any concerns.

RE: Duplex Fees at 146 Harvard
From: Ralph M. Kern
As per the attached receipt #27L8 my builder paid fees for a duplex apartment in my home at 148
Harvard. ln reality the home is a single family residence with a "mother in law" apartment where a care
giver for my wife lives (she is single without a family). My wife is bedridden with multiple sclerosis and
requires substantial care and watchfulness.
It is my understanding that a "mother in law" apartment is not considered a duplex and therefore does
not require payment of additional impact fees as we were charged. This was not understood at the
time of construction and a duplex building permitwasassessed. However, changes in designation have
been made on the occupancy certificate and on the tax rolls to specify that this home is a single family
home.
This is a request for you to refund the impact fee portion of the building fees that were charged for a
duplex. In my calculation that would include the following:
Fire
Pa rks
Police
Sewer
Streets
Water
Additional Building Permit
TOTAL
88.00
509.00
70.00
7s8.00
819.00
316.00
988.49
s3s48.49
Since the home is now financed in my name and all construction costs are rolled into the loan, it would
be appropriate to send the reimbursement to Ralph M. Kern at 148 Harvard Ave. Rexburg, lD 83440
rather than to JSM Construction.

Certificate of Occupancy for 148 Harvard Ave.
Ralph M. Kern
This memo is to request a change in the classification of the Certificate of Occupancy for our home at
148 Harvard Ave. in Rexburg from a duplex to a single family home.
The home was built with a basement apartment for one of my wife's care givers. The home is in an area
zoned for a duplex, but apparently a "mother in law" apartment for a care giver is allowed in a single
family home. I didn't know of this option when building the home, the appraiser was the first to
mention it to me. This changgmak6s a significant difference for financing the home.
Thank \ou, ,. -.n/
