(#19-00115) — Summerfield PUD Master Plan Amendment div. (7) —The applicant would like to increase
the density in the area directly north of the 3.73 -acre central park. The previous master plan was approved
for 12 units/acre. The applicant is requesting almost 14 units/acre. (action)
Dan Larsen — The project started about ten years ago. The project was amended about three years ago.
He identified a section of the Master Plan PUD, identifying the area for townhomes. He showed another
area in the PUD that has the same kind of townhomes. These townhomes have some front -loaded one and
two car garages. The amendment is requested to allow all the townhomes that will be built to be the two -
car -garage style. This change allows the garages to be loaded from the alleys and are not viewed from the
city streets, improving the street view and allowing more open space. 40% open space is planned.
Originally there were 98 units and now will be 114 units. He identified parking stalls underneath the units,
then identified guest parking spaces. The clubhouse and park area to the south are also in process. The
project is lined with street trees. The retention area will have sumps. Planter beds in the front of the
buildings are planned. Potentially gravel areas where the spacing is a little tighter.

Vince Haley asked if the Park Street project is similar to the layout the applicant is proposing? The applicant is
unfamiliar with the Park Street project townhomes. He has built the same project in Ammon. Georgetown
Apartments on Park Street are 16 units/acres. This development was shown on the GIS map. John Bowen
asked about acreage. Dan answered this phase is 8.1 acres causing an increase of 16 units. Vince Haley asked why
the applicant is making the change. The applicant is changing from front -loaded garages to rear -loading garages; a
couple of years ago they were building front -loading garages, but they found they liked the rear -loading garages a
little better; it makes the project look better because the street scape doesn't show all of your garage doors.
Chairman Rory Kunz walked in and finished leading the project presentation.
Tawnya Grover gave the staff report. Staff did not have any problems with the density change. They felt the
overall density for the project was not increased.
MOTION: Motion to recommend City Council approve the change because it seems concurrent with the
project and aesthetically looks more pleasing, Moved by Bruce Sutherland, Seconded by Todd Marx.
VOTE: Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote (summary: Yes = 8).
Yes: Bruce Sutherland, Greg Blacker, John Bowen, Melanie Davenport, Steve Oakey, Todd Marx, Vince
Haley, Rory Kunz.

Summerfield Division 7 PUD Master Plan Amendment #19-00115 — Stephen Zollinger
City Attorney Zollinger reviewed the amendment to the Summerfield Division 7. The Planned
Unit Development (PUD) Master Plan that was used reslulted in apoximately 99 units being
built. The amendment to the master plan lays out differently than the prior plan. The current
amended plan has a total of 104 units being built. The density limits are still within the allowed
zoning limits. The prior plan had the garage door facing the front of the road; however, the
current plan has the garage door in the back of the homes. The Planning and Zoning
Commission is recommending approval of the Summerfield Division 7 PUD Master Plan
Amendment.
City Attorney Zollinger reviewed a map of the Summerfield Division 7.
City Attorney Zollinger explained the center island will be filled with townhomes that face to
the interior and loadoff on the same private road that is loading the outer homes. The change in
the model of the homes caused the reason for the amendment. The layout of the homes is
slightly different then the prior plan. The current plan is a model that Kartchner Homes is
currently building in the Ammon area.
Cody Puzey works with Kartchner Homes said the amended plan will allow more visiting
parking and green space.
Council Member Wolfe moved to approve the Summerfield Division 7 Planned Unit
Development Master Plan Amendment; Council President Smith seconded the motion; Mayor
Merrill asked for a vote:
