Vince explained that this plat has an approx. address of 2nd N 4th E across from Rexburg Medical
Center.
Kyle started his presentation by stating that the plat is zoned LDR2 and has not gone through any
recent zone changes. Within LDR2, for single-family detached, 8000 sq feet is the minimum
requirement, and does allow twin homes. For twin homes, must have two (2) 5000 sq ft lots or
10,000 sq ft lot for entire building. Within this plat, it is divided into six (6) 5000 sq ft lots. Staff has
reviewed it and it meets all requirements and is being presented to the Commissioners for
recommendation to City Council for approval.
Eric said the application states 6 twin homes, but that basically it is 3 twin homes. Kyle responded
yes, 6 lots with 3 twin homes.
Aaron clarified that it is 6 dwelling units, 3 structures.
Jim asked if the structure with tree in plans would be more expensive? He stated he didn’t see
anything on drainage, and asked if it had been addressed? Kyle responded yes it will be addressed in
the individual building permits and will be required to be retained on site.
McKay asked if there are any exceptions being asked for outside of what the zoning allowed? Kyle
responded that to the best of his knowledge no.
Eric asked for clarification on how they got exactly 5000 sq ft lots?
Brantley Brooks stated that to answer, they had just parceled this section off from the house and
shop right next to it, and left exactly 30,000 sq ft, to plan for that.
Bruce stated this same parcel came up 6 months ago for a zone change and there were a lot of
residents opposed to the zone change and asked what the difference was between now and then.

Kyle answered that the neighborhood spoke against LDR3. This is not a zone change, it is already
zoned LDR2, and they are asking to get approval on plat for this project. This project meets the
current zone standards. They don’t need to do a zone change.
Aaron stated it was a very contentious evening, and several of the community asked why twin
homes or duplexes couldn’t be built to current zone standards. The applicant is reflecting that by not
touching the zoning.
Vince stated that he knows that field is open and has not really been maintained for years. He feels
like this is a great infill opportunity for that area. Eric agreed that it is needed, that twin homes are a
good fit.
Aaron stated he had thought of another question for staff: after carving off this parcel, from the
existing home, does the existing home meet the necessary setbacks? Kyle responded yes, they do.
Vince commented that these twin homes face the medical center, some mixed commercial, rather
than facing housing.
