He feels this is a great location. Bron would like to front the buildings on Pioneer and have two accesses on Handcart Ln to conceal the parking behind the buildings. He will do his best to make this a nice addition to the community. This is about the last undeveloped piece in the area. Commissioner Questions: None 35 North 1st East Rexburg, ID 83440 Phone: 208.359.3020 Fax: 208.359.3022 www.rexburg.org Reason for Decision City of Rexburg 2 | Page Staff Report: Alan Parkinson – Staff reviewed this application. There is adequate sewer and water capacity at this location. Within the next few weeks, the roundabout construction to the south will begin, improving traffic in this area. The stoplight on 7th S and Yellowstone will also be upgraded. The zone request matches zoning around them. Staff recommends the application to the Commission to recommend to City Council. Commissioner Questions: Eric asked about the railroad crossing; it is a real safety issue. There is a lot of traffic that funnels through the intersection. Alan said the railroad crossing and stoplight upgrade is all the same project. The contracts have been awarded and work should start in the next few weeks. 7th South will be widened with turning lanes. There are cabinet upgrades to make the stoplight work better. Eric said this area is almost built out, except the lots along the freeway. Trejo is also a bad intersection. Alan said engineers are also looking at the Trejo intersection to determine how it can be improved. Vice Chairman Haley confirmed with Alan that Keith has looked at the traffic. Vice Chairman Haley opened the public input portion of the hearing at 7:07PM. Favor: None Neutral: None Opposed: None Written Correspondence: None Rebuttal: None Vice Chairman Haley asked if anyone would like to speak. He closed the public input portion of the hearing at 7:08PM. Conflict of Interest? – Vice Chairman Haley asked the Commissioners if they have a conflict of interest or if they have been approached by any parties relative to this particular subject. If you believe your prior contact with respect to this subject has created a bias, you should recuse yourself, otherwise at this time please indicate the nature of your conversation or contact. Chairman Haley disclosed his wife works for the applicant, but she does not have any financial interest in the application. Commissioner Discussion: Todd says the reasons for approval are the same as the previous application request. The request fits the area with multi-family housing surrounding these parcels. The community needs the housing. The request makes good use of unimproved lots. Once the Comprehensive Plan Map change is made, the request matches the Comprehensive Plan.
