Staff Report: Kyle Baldwin showed the parcel on the overhead map. He stated that this piece of
the parcel is zoned LDR3, and is approximately 20 of the 66 acres. LDR3 is allowed 10 units per
acre, so they could put up to 200 units in there, but are asking for 142 lots within that. Public Works
will address concerns in the development agreement; the developer will need to add new asphalt to
2000 S and lighting was not shown on the infrastructure plans. It may help if this was included in a
motion.
Vince Haley reiterated that lighting will have to be included to be approved by its staff to move
forward, but wants to be sure that is included with our motion tonight.
Commissioner Questions:
Aaron Richards asked if the Plat passed all of the Staff’s Reviews and requirements for the zoning.
Kyle responded yes.
McKay Francis asked if the property was it rezoned recently? Kyle responded yes, but it had been
some time ago, earlier this year. Vince agreed that it had been a couple months ago and that it
seemed that more of it was LDR3, and the Commission recommended to lower it? Kyle agreed, but
thought it was previously zoned MDR and they asked for a decrease on this specific parcel section.
Bruce Casper Joined the meeting at 6:36 pm.
Aaron Richards stated that looking at the site plan and plat, and based on the density allowed by
zoning, and the layout with open space proposed, it looks like an outstanding project. Vince
reviewed that in these plats, it is not a public hearing, so the commission is leaning on staff to make
sure everything fits, and the Commission’s role is to make sure it fits within the community. Eric
Erickson asked for help understanding the P&Z Commission’s role, that it seems like they are here
to understand what staff has reviewed. He asked when would the commission ever not approve a
plat? Vince answered that if you felt it wouldn’t fit the area or there was some kind of condition not
met, but most of that will be met by the staff.

McKay Francis asked if there were any exceptions being asked for in this plat, or anything asked
for that does not fit the zoning criteria? Kyle responded no.
Aaron Richards clarified that perhaps it is because an applicant can bring anything forward, they
have that public right. This goes through the public process, with staff saying it meets the
requirements, so this is basically a public record of the approval of that process. Vince Agreed.
Jim Lawrence stated his only concern was not seeing the lighting plan but that was addressed.
Vince asked Kyle if with all the asphalt work on South side of the road, if these developers would
do other side. Kyle responded Yes, just within that section that they are developing. Vince asked if
Iron Horse was going in clear to church? Kyle clarified the Yellowstone RV would go as far as the
church. Vince asked if this would leave a gap between Motel 6 and this parcel? Kyle responded yes
it would until the CBC part was developed.
Eric stated he read one issue had to do with fiber and asked if this a new requirement for any
subdivision that by ordinance they have to provide fiber? Kyle answered that it is a new ordinance,
but he was not sure what it entailed, whether just infrastructure or the fiber itself, but there are
certain requirements to fulfill with fiber.
Mark Blanscett, the applicant, stated that they were asked to put 4 ports of conduit in allowing for
4 fiber companies. It was explained to him, that the purpose of this was so they didn’t have to tear
up road to provide additional fiber.
Eric asked if it was basically a stub out in the public right away and if there are any requirements for
new subdivisions to take that fiber into the buildings, or if it was up to the developer? Kyle said he
believed it was up to the developer. Eric was wondering how far along we are with fiber, when will
it be a reality? Kyle said they’ve been laying fiber lines for months.
Patrick Jackson reported that they are about 60% done with conduit around the city already.
Conduit is a pathway, and they’ve been asking developers to lay that. Most developers are going to
do that anyway, as this will bring more money in for them, and they haven’t run into any developer
who hasn’t wanted to. It’s literally just conduit, the fiber will be laid by the providers. Eric asked if
each of these units will have fiber to the new construction?
Mark answered they will have access to it. That they will select a fiber broadband provider to run in
one of the ports, leaving the other 3 open in case other providers are needed in the future.
Vince asked for any additional comments. Mark stated the only thing he would add is the City of
Rexburg has a slightly different process but wanted to let the Commissioner’s know how awesome
staff has been to work with. He did come in with some frustrations at one point because he didn’t
understand the fiber requirements, but staff explained it and he had a chance to come to a meeting
of the minds. He complimented the staff, stating that they are great to work with.
