Kathy Olsen resides in the neighborhood and was concerned that the conversations between JG Ventures and the neighbors did not benefit the neighborhood’s requests, listed in Cliff Olsen’s public comment. Applicant rebuttal: Jaglowski stated that the neighborhood meetings were held to bring ideas to the developer and trying to compromise. This property is a transitional zone, the “medical mile” and deserves mixed use including housing, which is needed for medical staff and local businesses. The property is zoned as mixed use and JG Ventures compromised from their original plan and reduced numbers of the buildings and the building heights and enlarged the zoning buffer. The purpose and compliance of the proposed development complies with City Code and JG Ventures agreed to the conditions and to work with staff to meet guidelines for the best possible results. Jaglowski stated a Geo Technical report was completed, the slope analysis was completed to understand the site and what would work on the property. Burtenshaw noted that they designed this plan after meeting with City staff and building what the City asked for to meet City needs. Page 3 of 4 Hulet asked about parking spaces for residential units and dark-sky lighting in the development. Jaglowski stated the lighting would be aimed down on the ground and required by City Code. Hulet asked about the number of units.

John Burtenshaw stated it was economics and dollar per foot, residential verse commercial property. The City asks for a transition of residential of single-family to multi-family to commercial. The City wants walkability in their hospital area and a transition. Hulet asked what the city allows. McLane stated The City allows building height of 35 feet with a ten percent (10%) Administrative Adjustment for 38.5 feet height. City staff will analyze the plan to meet City Code minimums. Zero lot lines would include townhomes style units, the allowable units are 30-units. Merril Quayle, public works engineer with the City of Pocatello stated that Hospital Way can handle the traffic and the access would be looked at once a plan is submitted with regards to vertical curbs.
