Attendees:
Staff: Bret Stoddard, Porter Wilkins, Natalie Powell, Scott Johnson
Applicant: Morgan Peterson (mpeterson@kw.com), Tyler Jones (tyler.sjones&nailcom)
Address: 228 N 3=d W
LOT 1: 0.956 Acres or 41,656 square feet; LOT 2: 0.293 Acres 12,764 square feet
Planning & Zoning
Comprehensive Plan: Low to Moderate Residential
Zone: Low Density Residential 2 — 10,000 square feet/lot
Permitted Uses were discussed. 4-plexes are not allowed in low density residential, only in medium density residential.
The land behind the now owned parcel is desired for purchase by the applicant. They applicants have not been able to
contact the owner of the property. The address on file is to a UPS store in Idaho Falls. A rezone of more than 1 parcel
would be more likely to pass. Natalie will see if she can find some contact information for the Eureka Properties &
Investments.
The buildings need to be built right now as duplexes. A pre -fab building has been moved on to the property appears to
be built as a 4-plex. The zone will need to be changed first to allow a 4-plex. An over/under duplex was discussed for
the pre -fab building. Currently, the bottom level would be storage. This is indicated on new plans.
Will the duplexes be under single ownership? Down the road, Morgan said they would anticipate a plat. City staff
shared, Morgan will need to plat the development from the beginning to show lot sizes appropriate to an LDR2 zone for
duplexes. Lot 2 can currently only house 1 duplex, because 10,000 square feet is required for a duplex. Tyler wants to
get the house set, because the house is just sitting there. They want to right now, dig the first 2 holes.
A total of 5 duplexes would be allowed per the square footage. The Comprehensive Plan would allow a maximum of
MDR2. MDR2 allows 20units/acre. At least a zone change is needed if 4-plexes are desired.
Building
4-plex commercial requirements: Fire sprinkler system
Fire alarm system
Separate electrical metering
Separate water shut -offs
• Fire Separations
• Separate mechanical systems
• Bigger water line
The drawing does not reflect a duplex and the 8' tall hole dug indicates potentially more units. The property already has
the water and sewer line stubbed in.
Conclusion:
You can go forward without any problems to put in duplexes. Duplexes can be put on a 8' wall, but the City doesn't
want to have to come and shut them down because they are running illegal 4-plexes. A 4-plex is considered a
commercial use and the above commercial building requirements will apply.
Neighbors to the south are separated by a fence and lilac bushes for screening. Building plans just submitted will go to
review. The second building would be an over/under duplex also. It is a move -on of 1 unit where the 111 one was 2 -
units.
The applicant will plat with setbacks for MDR2, and place 11t duplex. The 2nd hole can be dug at this time, but no more
until plat is approved. This would be less than 5 subdivisions which would mean the short plat process and
administrative review (2 week time). 4 parking stalls = 2/unit.
