CALL TO ORDER: Wimborne called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.
MINUTES: Ogden moved to accept the minutes of October 4, 2023, Scott seconded the
motion. The motion passed unanimously.
Public Hearing (s):
1. ANNX 23-005: ANNEXATION/INITIAL ZONING OF CC.
Wimborne opened the public hearing.
Applicant: Reeve and Associates. No one appeared.
Stevens presented the staff report, a part of the record.
Ogden confirmed that the reason is to widen the road. Stevens indicated that the adjacent zoning
is CC and if the applicant failed to widen the road and it stayed as County road section the CC
zone would be a guide to the larger parcel. The City is required by State Law to put a zone on the
property.
Support/Opposition: No one appeared in support or opposition.
Wimborne closed the public hearing.
Ihler is glad it is being annexed so both sides are annexed.
Ihler moved to recommend to the Mayor and City Council approval of the Annexation of
.258 acres in the southeast quarter of section 23, Township 2 North, Range 37 East, with
initial zoning of CC with Controlled Development Airport Overlay Zone. Scott seconded
the motion. Wimborne called for roll call vote: Brower, yes; Ihler, yes; Scott, yes;
Wimborne, yes; Ogden, yes. The motion passed unanimously.
2. ANNX 23-006: ANNEXATION/INITIAL ZONING OF R1.
Wimborne opened the public hearing.
Applicant: Kurt Rolland, Rock Engineering, 1331 Fremont Ave., Idaho Falls, Idaho. The
applicant is asking for annexation and initial zone of 114 acres of property north of Sage Lakes
Golf Course with initial zoning of R1. There is property to the south that is zoned single family,
County to the west, and County to the east.
Stevens presented the staff report, a part of the record.
Planning Commission Minutes November 14, 2023 Page 1 of 10
Scott asked about the property to the west being in the County. Stevens clarified that the homes
that skirt the property to the west are County residents.
Wimborne asked what the homes in the County are zoned. Stevens stated that it is likely A1.
Support/Opposition: No one appeared in support or opposition.
Wimborne closed the public hearing.
Ogden stated that there is R2 that touches the corner and R1 across the street, and when
comparing that to the Comprehensive Plan Ogden feels that a denser zoning of R2 is more
applicable and a better option for the property and follows closer to the long-range plan of the
City.
Ihler asked if they can recommend a higher density zone. Wimborne and staff agreed that they
can recommend a higher density zone. Ihler agrees that a higher density zone would be better
and a smarter decision for the City financially, as no amount of tax revenue can bring in enough
money to maintain the roads so they need more density, and he feels that R2 would be
appropriate.
Wimborne clarified that if it is zoned as R2, the property owner can still develop at R1. Stevens
agreed that the owner can build at R1, but it could open more possibilities after listening to the
recommendation of the Planning Commission and the Comprehensive Plans recommendation.
Ihler agrees that the R2 could add diversity to the area, and diversity to the housing stock which
is good for the City and the residents.
Brower agrees with Ihler.
Scott clarified that if Planning and Zoning recommends R2, then it is up to the City Council to
decide how to zone the property.
Ogden moved to recommend to the Mayor and City Council approval of the Annexation of
114.274 acres in the southeast ¼ of section 30 Township 3 North, Range 38 East with initial
zoning of R2 with Controlled Development Approach Surface, Approach Surface, and
Controlled Development, Brower seconded the motion. Wimborne called for roll call:
Brower, yes; Ihler, yes; Scott, yes; Wimborne, yes; Ogden, yes. The motion passed
unanimously.
Wimborne feels that R1 request is still valid in the community but providing the R2 zoning will
provide flexibility for the property.
3.ANNX 23-004: ANNEXATION/INITIAL ZONING OF R3A. For Brookhaven Division
No. 1.
Wimborne noted that additional comments from Cynthia Wallace were received, and she made
sure that each Commissioner saw those comments.
Wimborne opened the public hearing.
Applicant: David Jorgensen. Jorgensen owns five of the 6 lots, and he thought Cynthia
Wallace, who owns the last lot and he thought she wanted to go with him on this application, but
Planning Commission Minutes November 14, 2023 Page 2 of 10
she does not. Jorgensen wants to build on the lots and needs to annex the property into the City.
Jorgensen indicated that the western 3 lots and the southern 2 lots are his property.
Foster presented the staff report, a part of the record.
Wimborne asked about the Bridle path and the dedication that is discussed in the staff report, but
the comments discuss vacation of the bridle paths to the individual landowners. Wimborne
asked for clarification and current status of the bridle paths. Foster stated that the bridle path was
dedicated as part of the plat to the public (County) it has not been developed as a bridle path and
hasn’t been used for anything besides neighborhood walking. There is no discussion from the
County that they were going to deed the property to the landowners, but it might be something
the City does in the future, but at this point they cannot leave the strips of County property
unannexed. Wimborne asked about covenants in the Brookhaven Subdivision. Foster stated that
the City is only obligated to enforce minimum standards and they do not get involved in
protective covenants, and those discussions and disputes will have to be handled through HOA
or civilly. Wimborne asked if they are looking at 6 lots or now 5. Foster stated just 5 lots at this
time.
Support/Opposition:
Brett Parmenter, 3551 Crestwood Lane, Idaho Falls, Idaho. Parmenter bought his house in
2017 with the Covenants. Parmenter works for the offices of Head Start out of Washington D.C.
and he goes in and rebuilds infrastructure and buildings for Head Start that wiped out in
hurricanes. Parmenter stated that the first thing they need to consider is public safety of children
and families and decisions that are made in constructing roads and drainages are safety minded.
In 2017 there was a barrier and trucks could not go through, and shortly after he purchased the
house the applicant (Jorgensen) created a road without permission of the County and overnight
they had a lot of traffic. Parmenter stated that all the streets west until Woodruff have no lights.
Only Crestwood has a light going left. Parmenter stated that there are 4 x as many wrecks on
Sunnyside versus Hitt due to the lights on Hitt. The City planners informed Parmenter about the
rule (policy) of 660 feet between stop lights and Parmenter feels that is poor planning. Putting a
lot of people in one area and don’t provide egress out to major streets. Parmenter doesn’t feel
planners or developers should drive the public safety of the community. Parmenter stated that
there are cars parked on the road on Washington because there is not enough parking in PB and
Medical buildings. The ingress and egress out of the properties along Washing and west are not
sufficient. Parmenter stated that the covenants on Crestwood apply to the applicants lots.
Parmenter stated that if they start a lawsuit with the applicant, it will be 3 years before he can do
anything, if he gets the rights votes for a business on his lots. Parmenter doesn’t feel they should
go forward because there is not proper ingress and egress for the area. Parmenter’s concern is
that the safety of the public needs to be considered in Crestwood and all the way to Woodruff
and at some point, the City has to provide some relief to all the people that are coming out and
turning left.
Gil and Cynthia Wallace 378 Cranbrook, Idaho Falls, Idaho. They own the 6th Lot and want
to make sure their lot has been removed from the application. Wallaces were asked by Mr.
Jorgensen if they wanted to join in on the application and they indicated that they were too busy
at the time to deal with this process. Wallace stated that the bridle path is 16’ on each side of the
lots and was originally dedicated to the public in 1966 by Blake Purcell as his family originally
owned the property. Many of the property owners have taken care of the bridle path. If the
Planning Commission Minutes November 14, 2023 Page 3 of 10
County is willing to vacate the bridle path, and the County has indicated that they would be
willing to do that, then as you annex the lots into the City you would annex the previously placed
bridle path and the City would not be obligated to take care of the path. Wallace feels that they
should talk to the County first about the bridle path and see if they are willing to vacate the
property to the landowners, and if the County is willing to vacate, then annexation wouldn’t be
an issue with parceling out property, and the residents can still take care of the bridle path as they
have been doing up to this point.
3550 Crestwood, Idaho Falls, Idaho. President of HOA. He is supportive of Jorgensen
getting something going in the neighborhood as it is currently a mess with weeds and people
driving through his lots and tearing it up. He has been there since 2015 and has seen the speeds
going higher on the street and it is scary for him. He would like to find a resolution that can
benefit everyone, and safety and security is number one. The bridle path has always been
maintained by residents. He doesn’t want to put Jorgensen on hold, but he does want to find a
better plan and hopefully get Jorgensen’s plan going before he decides to retire.
Applicant: David Jorgensen. Jorgensen feels that they need to get the road widened and get
access to Sunnyside. Jorgensen has owned property in the area longer than anyone that has
spoken tonight. Jorgensen owned the property on the north side of Crestwood Sunnyside that
was forced annexed. Jorgensen intends to honor the covenants. The covenants indicate that the
bridle path should be a bridle path and that may or may not have happened over the years, but no
one has had a problem with the covenants, until Jorgensen came along and wanted to change the
covenants to allow growth in the area. Jorgensen feels that the bridle path could be used as a
trading tactic to get a wider road (trade 16’ for 16’). Jorgensen did not build a road without
County approval, and they were aware of what was going on when he built the road. The Plat
dedicated that property to be a road in the 1960’s. Jorgensen stated that when the neighbors
bought the previous owners had to disclose the road and plat. Jorgensen stated that the disputes
related to covenants will have to be taken care of civilly. This application is one step in a long
road to getting the road widened and the property used in a way that the City and County would
like to see.
Brett Parmenter, 3551 Crestwood Lane, Idaho Falls, Idaho. Parmenter stated that the bridle
path has been maintained by property owners, and using the bridle path as leverage to get a wider
road does not make sense as nothing can be put in the bridle path, because the phone line, power
line and it has to be available for utility work. Parmenter stated that the bridle path does the
property owners no good and should not be used as a tactic to give more width to the road.
Parmenter would work with someone to make the road safer. Parmenter stated that the property
that Jorgensen had was zoned residential until the City forced annexed and changed the zoning
on 2 of the lots in the subdivision. Parmenter confirmed that they do have an active HOA, with
meetings held often and HOA Meetings minutes. Parmenter said that Jorgensen indicated that
the County gave him approval for the road, and County staff indicated to Parmenter that they
didn’t give permission. Parmenter stated that County staff have no affection for City staff and
vice versa and that needs to be fixed in this town and that would help everyone.
Wimborne closed the public hearing.
Ogden confirmed that Lot 6 of Block 2 is excluded. If the City annexed the bridle paths the City
can decide whether they would be vacated. Foster agreed. Ogden stated that R3 or R3A would
Planning Commission Minutes November 14, 2023 Page 4 of 10
be the only options for this zone when it is annexed because that is what is contiguous to the
area.
Scott asked if there is a utility easement in the bridle path. Beutler stated that it is a platted right
of way, so it is possible that the utility lines exist in the bridle path, but not as a separate
easement. Scott is concerned about the traffic on Sunnyside and has business on Washington
Parkway and goes to Crestwood because there is a light and that is a problem that needs to be
addressed. Foster stated that will be addressed with development, and that will be handled by the
City Traffic Engineer. The road is an arterial and it will be constructed to carry a lot of traffic to
the light. Scott asked if there is a minimum width for a collector. Foster clarified that it is an
arterial which is a higher category than collector. Beutler stated that the spacing between lighted
intersections is 660’ and there is potential for a light on Merlin that would meet the spacing
requirement, but the City would not install that light until it meets warrants to install that light.
Public Works is continually monitoring trips and traffic along the roads.
Scott asked if Crestwood is wide enough currently to meet the requirements. Beutler indicated
that Crestwood is a 50’ right of way in the County.
Wimborne asked if the spacing is dictated through BMPO. Beutler stated that the City has
adopted the access management plan from the BMPO. Beutler stated that the purpose of the
access management plan was to look at street classifications. Beutler stated that they would then
provide recommendations for appropriate improvements to move traffic along each of the street
classifications in order to move traffic, and if there should be turn lanes, right turn lanes, etc. to
safely allow traffic to enter and exit the road systems. Beutler added that the access
management plan has the recommendation or 660’ of spacing between lighted intersections.
Wimborne asked about the conversations on the bridle path and the County. Foster stated that
the County indicated that the City should annex the bridle path and did not mention anything
about dedicating the property to the owners. Wimborne asked if annexation would preclude the
dedication. Foster stated that once it is under City jurisdiction then City Council could make that
decision. Beutler stated that annexation would make the vacation process easier on the bridle
path.
Scott asked why Jorgensen cannot build on the property without annexation. Foster stated that if
the question is in regard to the protective covenants, that is not something that should be
considered for the annexation, but if it is annexed and zoned, and it is already platted, he would
have the right to build whatever is allowed in that zone.
Wimborne asked what the County zoning is. Foster stated that it is RA1. Beutler stated that the
consideration for development purposes is availability of water and sewer, and in order to
develop the lots in the County, they would have to develop their own septic and water system in
order to allow for development.
Ogden asked if the existing water and sewer connects to City water and sewer if annexed. Foster
stated that the utilities would have to be brought in from south or north by the developer.
Ihler stated that it needs to be annexed and it is inevitable that the area will be annexed. Ihler
stated that the access management plan must be followed. The light at Channing and Crestwood
was planned. Ihler wants the area developed so the property can increase the tax revenue for the
City.

Council approval of Annexation of approximately 6 acres including Lots 6, 7, 8, Block 1,
Lots 7, 8, Block 2 Brookhaven Division No. 1 including the remaining bridle path and right

Wimborne called for roll call vote: Brower, yes; Ihler, yes; Scott, yes; Wimborne, yes;
Ogden, yes. The motion passed unanimously.
4. PLAT 23-021: PRELIMINARY PLAT. Faraday Properties. Approximately 90.421 acres.
Wimborne opened the public hearing.
Applicant: Kurt Rolland, Eagle Rock Engineering, 1331 Fremont Ave., Idaho Falls. The
property is located on St. Clair and Township on the southwest corner of the intersection and
consists of approximately 90 acres. The property has been annexed and zoned. The property has
LC, R3A and R3 and R2 on the property, consisting of 31 lots with 28 buildable lots. They are
proposing a well lot for the City to serve the area. There is a lift station lot on the southeast
corner of the property. They are trying to make this a walkable area and have a
grocery/gas/restaurants/single family/multi-family on the property. They did a traffic study and a
neighborhood meeting.
Wimborne asked Rolland to show where the zoning division is on the different blocks. Rolland
showed on the map where the R2, LC, R3A and R3 were located as shown in the staff notes a
part of the record.
Scott asked about access point 4 as it is in the center of commercial area, and asked if all the
commercial will go out one exit. Rolland stated that they will have a turn lane when the road is
widened. Rolland showed other access points to the commercial properties. Scott asked if the
gas stations would have access from 15th East. Rolland stated that they are assuming that at this
point.
Ihler asked about the access roads going to the west. Rolland stated that the engineering
department asked for access points to the west to make it connectable when properties develop in
the future.
Ogden confirmed and Rolland agreed that the access points on the west don’t lead anywhere at
this point.
Long presented the staff report, a part of the record.
Ihler asked when Woodruff and 49th are widened would it be on both sides. Long thinks it is
annexed on both sides. Long stated that these are both arterial roads, and the responsibility of
arterial roads is on the City, the developer would pay impact fees towards the development of
arterial roads, and the City then takes care of the widening of the roads. Ihler asked when the
widening will happen. Long stated that these are conversations that will happen during
development stage.
Planning Commission Minutes November 14, 2023 Page 6 of 10
Support/Opposition:
Matt Trainer, 5203 South 11th East, Idaho Falls, Idaho. Trainer’s house is near one of the
stub roads. Trainer stated that the zoning and development of this property is not congruent with
the Imagine IF Comp Plan. Trainer quoted the Comprehensive Plan “…no neighborhood should
expect sudden radical change….”. Trainer stated that the neighborhood surrounding the area has
a low density of 7 units per 80 acres, and the area within the preliminary plat has a high density
over 2500 units. That would represent a radical change going from 7 units per 80 acres to 2500
units in 80 acres. Trainer stated that it is also not congruent with the Comprehensive Plan is that
wat was discussed and presented at the neighborhood meeting is not a walkable center. The
developer and the engineers stated that the traffic impact on 15th East would be high and there
would potentially need a roundabout. Trainer asked as this plat and future plats are brought for
approval, the Zoning Commission should keep in mind whether the proposal will fulfill the
City’s desire to have a walkable center, or will it make it a car based commercial center and
heavy mixed housing that is a drastic difference to the adjacent areas. Trainer requested that the
properties in the County are designed to be Residential Estates and already have people coming
onto their property and with the level of density of housing to the east it will be a greater issue,
and he is asking for a wall or fence to be placed between the high density and residential and
farm.
Russ Dotey, 5742 South 15th East, Idaho Falls, Idaho. Dotey stated that just because it is so,
doesn’t mean it is right. Dotey stated that the preliminary staff report shows existing zoning, and
this will be a City island coming into a farm area. Dotey stated that the neighbors lose, and
County and City gain tax revenue. The land is producing land and has an irrigation system that
was provided by the founding fathers, and that will be gone. Dotey objects to the sewage
pumping station that is within 100’ of his well, because if the power goes out it could cause a
problem.
Applicant: Kurt Rolland, Eagle Rock Engineering 13310 Fremont, Idaho Falls, Idaho.
Rolland stated that the property has already been annexed and zoned, and they are developing
within their rights in the zones that have been approved through the City. Rolland stated that
2500 homes is worst case scenario if they put 36 units per acre, but with the requirements for
parking and landscaping, they have never been able to get to maximum density. The traffic
study does state a need for a light at 49th and 15th, and the light should be installed, but they
would prefer a round about as it works better to move traffic, but they will do what the City
requests.
Wimborne asked about the wall or fence for adjacent properties. Rolland stated that there will be
a fence put up per the developer.
Wimborne closed the public hearing.
Wimborne asked staff when the property came to them in January, it seemed that there was
discussion about different zoning and she remembered it having more R1, and R2. Long stated
that the Planning Commission recommended a certain type of zoning and that went back to the
applicant, the applicant created the zoning that was adopted and the minutes from Planning and
Planning Commission Minutes November 14, 2023 Page 7 of 10
Zoning went to City Council and City Council made a decision and adopted the zoning as
presented.
Ihler understands that this property has been rural, but it has always been in the area of impact
and 30 years ago subdivisions going in north of Sunnyside was seen as radical, but any type of
development on farm ground is going to be considered radical. Every new development starts
with farm ground. Ihler likes density near arterials and in order to get walkable centers you need
density. Ihler stated that the zone is set, and the developer can develop within the rules. Ihler
would like more density as all the zones require so much parking and so much use for a car. You
can call it walkable, but R3 and R3A still has parking lots and high parking requirements. Ihler
likes that they are widening the roads, and if they want to be serious about walkability it needs to
be higher density. Ihler likes the plat. Ihler is concerned about the lift station being near the
well, and asked what safeguards are in place.
Long stated that DEQ has separation requirements and there is a backup generator.
Brower agrees about the concerns about walkability, and you cannot have walkability until there
is development. This is the very beginning of the plan for walkability.
Ogden stated that the walkability will proceed when the high school property is developed to the
west of 11th East. Ogden foresees future commercial and other types of development in the
future. Ogden would have liked to see something closer to what the Planning Commission
recommended.
Wimborne echoed the thoughts of Ogden. Wimborne stated that the proposal fits the zoning, but
she feels it is radical and she would see it as a radical change if she lived in the adjacent
neighborhood. Wimborne stated that with buffer and parking requirements you will not get to the
2500 density, but it will be very different from the surrounding area, and asked developer to
provide protection for the owners like a wall to provide separation. Wimborne stated that as the
City grows there are issues that need to be addressed and respect the current property owners in
the area. Wimborne stated that the big parking lots in big developments are jarring and aren’t
attractive. Wimborne wished that the zoning looked different and closer to what was
recommended.
Ihler asked about the southern road going to Woodruff as it doesn’t connect to Sandpiper. Long
stated that it is connected to Sandcreek.
Iler moved to approve the Preliminary Plat for Faraday Properties, Brower seconded the
motion. Wimborne called for roll call vote: Brower, yes; Ihler, yes; Scott, yes; Wimborne,
yes; Ogden, yes. The motion passed unanimously.
Brower moved to adopt the Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards, Scott
Seconded the motion. Wimborne called for roll call vote: Brower, yes; Ihler, yes; Scott, yes;
Wimborne, yes; Ogden, yes. The motion passed unanimously.
5 Minute Recess was called by Wimborne.
Wimborne called the meeting back to order.
