Present:
Staff: Val Christensen, Keith Davidson, Tawnya Grover
Applicant: Blake Jolley, Jeremy
Owner: Cal Kunkel from Billings, Montana (owns 1500 units like this) – will be in town next Monday
On the west side of development, the owner is trying to be 10 units/acre. 60’ between 1 bed/1bath. On the east side, they also want to maximize space but with elbow room. 2 bed/2
bath will have good-sized, fenced backyards for pets or children on east side. They also want to provide a guest space for entertaining.
Streets: Roads at the top should be aligned. The road along the church is probably 68’.
How much room would we have if we ran two roads on the east side: 1 single-fronted and 1 double-fronted? 2 roads will require some calculations. If 2 roads on the right side, 1 access
out to the main road would be best.
Zoning: The zoning is LDR2 on the east side and MDR on west side. A PUD might be helpful for 10,000 square feet/duplex.
Setback: On South boundary, a 20’ setback from the south buildings will be needed.
Parking:
1.5 per 1 bed unit
2 units per any other
Tandem parking is allowed as long as the tandem spaces are for an individual unit.
50 guest spaces have been identified for parking. They might want to integrate some more visitor parking within. Keith suggested a pathway could also fill the need from the parking
lot to the units. Private roads on 34 ½’ would allow visitor parking on one side of the road. In between the units, 28’. This is room for one parking space. The owner is in the
process of changing leases. If 1 vehicle, tenant can park in the garage or outside of the garage. If 2 vehicles, 1 car must be parked inside the garage and 1 outside. Otherwise,
garage is used as storage. Possible mini-storage company.
If shared water line, one ownership would be required. $7,000 savings. Each of the units would need to be metered if sold separately.
Preliminarily, the concept plan looks like it will work. The City requests plans be submitted for official plan review.

Present:
Staff: Val Christensen, Natalie Powell, Bret Stoddard, Porter Wilkins, Dale Pickering, Keith Davidson, Tawnya Grover
Applicant: Blake Jolley, Jeremy Westwood
Owner: Cal Kunkel from Billings, Montana (owns 1500 units like this) – will be in town next Monday.
Time Frame: Plan to break ground in Spring 2019.
Project: Townhome project completed in 2 phases.
The current 1st phase design has 106 units which pencils out to 10.2 units/acre for the first phase.
3 types of units:
Junior 521 square feet
2 bed 1 bath 720 square feet
2 bed 2 bath 820 square feet
Garages 300 square feet
Estimates: 180,000 square feet total; 85,000 square feet of living space
The second phase hasn’t been designed due to the size of duplex being decided. 2nd phase could be built as 4-plexes or duplexes
Building:
Building on IRC vs. IBC requirements.
5B Construction, Type B unit is needed
Applicants want to be ADA Fair Housing compliant
Fire:
Townhomes are not sprinkled, but fire wall is required.
2 accesses are needed – please look at loop as a priority
Hydrant spacing east and west end of north road
Planning & Zoning:
Condo plat vs. PUD
Condo – 1 ownership, like apartment structure
Negative of condo is the building is owned by the association.
PUD – plat each building? Separate ownership
Water and sewer paid per door: $290 water/per door, $890 sewer/per door
Meter pit/connection
Jeremy says individually metered seems to be the best on the outside.
Public Works:
Water rights come with the property. If not sufficient, the applicant would pay for the water rights to sign them over to the City.
Impact Fees per unit:
Parks $585
Police $80
Fire $105
Streets $930
Sewer. Limited sewer capacity is on a first come, first serve basis. Capacity issue in line coming down Hwy 33.
Water & sewer per household:
3/4” meter: $17 water, $14 sewer;
1” meter: $42 water, $14 sewer
Transportation – potential signal needed. Traffic Impact Study will be required. Widening of the road was discussed and space needed. A barrier may be the powerlines on the South
side of the road that the church fronts.
Floodplain build - FEMA was also discussed due to the new floodplain map. Applicant asked, can roads be in the floodplain? Keith wasn’t sure.
Price for developing in Rexburg was compared to Idaho Falls and Pocatello. Impact fees may be higher up front, but there is a low levy fee which balances costs out.
