He stated that the infrastructure plans have received both DEQ and City Engineer approval. The proposed plat was shown on the screen and Mr. Dyer stated it is in accordance with the approved Masterplan of the PUD. He discussed the applicants willingness to accommodate the City’s desires in relation to dedicating land for future roadways. He respectfully requested that the Commission recommend approval to the City Council for the Founders Square Phase 3 Development. McKay asked for clarification on why this plat was being presented if the PUD had already been approved. Mr. Dyer explained that this is a new phase and each phase must be presented for approval. (208) 359-3020 35 North 1st East Rexburg, ID 83440 Rexburg.org | Engage.Rexburg.org Eric asked if the lot sizes of this phase were consitent with the rest of the development. Mr. Dyer confirmed. Sally asked Mr. Dyer to go back to the Masterplan to show the commissioners the greenspace areas that were originally required. Mr. Dyer showed the Masterplan and referred to it as a preliminary plat. He pointed out the smaller lot sizes, explaining how they are smaller than what the code allows for that zone, because the approved PUD allowed those exceptions. He mentioned the amenities along Sunrise Drive and the greenspace provided. Bruce commented that other subdivisions next to dry farms have had issues with run off and flooding. Mr. Dyer confirmed this development is in a hole, but the Masterplan storm drain covered both subdivisions, and the City constructed a retention pond across Sunrise drive to handle the storm drainage and it hasn’t flooded since it was put into place. Alan presented the staff report, confirming that Mr. Dyer had given all the information about the plat, and that the plat has met all of the requirements and has been approved by Staff.
