• 
These properties were originally annexed in 1906, prior to the construction of US 
Highway 20, which created irregularly shaped lots. 
• 
The properties are currently zoned TN, allowing for infill development that makes 
efficient use of existing utilities and resources. 
• 
Site layout: 
o 
Three lots to the north and three to the south. 
o 
Access is provided via a cul-de-sac on Elmore and an alleyway; portions of the 
alley require easement over private property to achieve a full 20-foot width. 
o 
A Homeowners Association (HOA) will maintain the access easement. 
o 
Two fire-access points are planned (cul-de-sac and alleyway). 
• 
The subdivision will consist of owner-occupied, attached single-family homes, some 
“back-loaded” facing Highway 20. 
• 
The preliminary plat passed unanimously through the Planning Commission with no 
public comment. 
• 
Councilors praised the development as an example of creative, thoughtful infill 
development, using the Traditional Neighborhood Zone to make previously 
underutilized historic property productive.

The project is highlighted as beneficial amid a housing shortage, providing affordable 
and approachable housing. 
• 
Councilors expressed appreciation for developer innovation and City support in 
facilitating the project.

Quasi-judicial Public Hearing-Rezone from HC, Highway Commercial to CC, 
Central Commercial, Zoning Ordinance and Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria 
and Standards for approximately 2.45 acres consisting of a portion of Lot 2, Block 1, 
Taylor Crossing on the River Division No. 8. 
 
Hearing Opened 
Presentation/Discussion (Director Sanner):  
• 
The item is a rezoning request for two properties totaling 2.45 acres, located near 
the Eagle roundabout between Utah Avenue and Pancheri Drive. 
• 
The request is to change the zoning from Highway Commercial (HC) to Central 
Commercial (CC). 
• 
Adjacent properties are already zoned CC, so the request aligns with surrounding 
land uses. 
• 
The rezoning fits the City’s comprehensive plan (“Imagine IF”) goals for mixed-use 
centers and corridors. Both HC and CC are compatible with the transect 
designation. 
• 
The properties are within the Riverwalk Urban Renewal District, allowing the 
developer to use tax increment financing (TIF) to offset infrastructure costs. 
• 
The developer intends to blast lava rock on the site to allow for a commercial 
boutique, a use permitted only in the CC zone. 
• 
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval on December 9, 
2025, with no public comment. 
• 
Councilors noted the CC zoning allows flexibility for residential and commercial 
development, resolves a previously challenging site, and is not a spot zone. 
There was no public testimony and the hearing was closed. 
 
Motion 1: Approve the Ordinance Rezoning approximately 2.45 acres consisting of a 
portion of Lot 2, Block 1, Taylor Crossing on the River Division No. 8. from HC, Highway 
Commercial to CC, Central Commercial, under a suspension of the rules requiring three 
complete and separate readings and request that it be read by title and published by

Quasi-Judicial Public Hearing - Planned Unit Development (PUD) and 
Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards, Sage Lakes. 
 
Hearing Opened 
Presentation/Discussion (Director Sanner, Mr. Huish, Mr. Hirrlinger, Director 
Fredericksen):  
• 
Project Overview 
o 
Presented by developer Jared Huish (with later input from partner Jim Hirrlinger). 
o 
Approximately 20 acres located west of 5th East, south of the golf course (Sage 
Lakes), and north of Fairway Estates. 
o 
Project has gone through neighborhood meetings and Planning Commission 
review; the proposal reflects community feedback and is intended as a “living 
document.” 
• 
Zoning & Planning Context 
o 
Property has been zoned R-2 since annexation in 2019, with adjacent R-1 and R-
3A zoning. 
o 
Zoning pattern follows traditional density transitions from higher density near 
Lewisville Highway to lower density neighborhoods. 
o 
Site is within the General Urban Transect under the Imagine IF comprehensive 
plan, which supports mixed housing types, walkability, and connected streets. 
o 
Development complies with airport-compatible land use requirements and lies 
outside the main noise corridor. 
• 
Development Program & Density 
o 
PUD focuses on townhomes, while 74 single-family homes surrounding the site 
were previously approved through a preliminary plat. 
o 
Proposal includes 246 townhomes, a 20% density reduction from what zoning 
would otherwise allow (R-2 permits up to 17 units/acre; proposal is ~11 
units/acre).

https://idahofallsid.new.swagit.com/videos/371601 
680 Park Avenue 
Idaho Falls, ID 
o 
Density was intentionally reduced to maintain higher quality, neighborhood 
compatibility, and property values. 
o 
All units are for-sale and can be owner-occupied (not just rentals). 
• 
Design & Housing Types 
o 
Mix of single-family homes and townhomes supports multiple price points, 
aging in place, and multigenerational living. 
o 
Townhomes are two-story only, with front-load and rear-load designs; rear-load 
units use alleys to minimize garage/vehicle visibility. 
o 
Townhome widths range, all with two-car garages. 
o 
Buildings range from 4–8 attached units. 
o 
Architecture is designed to be cohesive with nearby neighborhoods and golf 
course homes. 
• 
Open Space & Amenities 
o 
Approximately 4.5 acres of open space with two playgrounds, two dog parks, 
pavilion, walking trails, patios, landscaping, and buffers 
o 
Most open space is common area maintained by an HOA; homeowners own 
only their unit footprint (“pad lot” style). 
o 
Potential for shared park access with neighboring HOAs, subject to 
maintenance agreements. 
• 
Access, Streets & Connectivity 
o 
Primary access is directly from the highway (Lewisville) to reduce cut-through 
traffic in existing neighborhoods. 
o 
Surrounding streets are public; interior streets are private (no drive aisles). 
o 
Two access points provided to meet fire code requirements. 
o 
A street stub is shown only to preserve future access for a separate triangular 
parcel to the north; it is not required for this PUD and not related to this 
development. 
o 
Internal trails connect to sidewalks along Sage Lakes Boulevard and to future 
planned bike/pedestrian facilities along Lewisville Highway. 
• 
Traffic, Utilities & Infrastructure 
o 
Traffic study found no expected level-of-service issues, with a reduction being 
shown for the Pevero Drive/5th West intersection. 
o 
Water pressure concerns raised by neighbors were investigated: 
 
Issues traced to temporary valve shutdowns during bridge construction. 
 
City verified 55 PSI at residences; system meets standards and has 
capacity for added demand. 
o 
Bridge (from Lewisville Hwy) and Sage Lakes Boulevard: 
 
Certificates of occupancy will not be issued until the bridge is 
completed and approved.

 
Financial assurance is in place to ensure completion even if the 
developer fails. 
• 
Public & Planning Commission Input 
o 
Neighborhood and Planning Commission comments were included in the 
Council packet. 
o 
Concerns addressed included traffic, water pressure, property values, 
crime/safety, building height, and lack of nearby commercial services. 
o 
Staff noted commercial zoning exists nearby, but commercial development 
typically follows residential growth. 
o 
Planning Commission recommended approval by a 5–1 vote. 
• 
Council Discussion Highlights 
o 
Councilor Francis asked whether building height could be formally limited to 
two stories in the PUD approval. 
 
Legal staff cautioned that imposing a height restriction below what R-2 
allows could raise legal “takings” concerns, though PUDs allow more 
conditions and developers can self-impose limits. 
o 
Clarified that the project uses private streets only and no drive aisles. 
o 
Confirmed zoning has not changed since 2019 and that the future access to the 
North shown does not apply to the current development. 
• 
Next Steps 
o 
Council opened the process for public testimony, with speakers asked to state 
their name and address and were given approximately three minutes each 
o 
Developer allowed rebuttal following public comment. 
 
Public Comment:  
• 
Allison Hicken, 375 Pevero Drive 
• 
Perspective 
 
Supports smart growth that respects existing residents and neighborhoods. 
 
Does not oppose growth, but asks the City to ensure it is done safely and 
thoughtfully. 
• 
Primary Concern: Access & Emergency Response 
 
Fairway Estates currently has limited access to the City, with residents 
traveling over a mile via Pevero Drive to East River Road (5th West). 
 
Only one functional access route. 
 
Sage Lakes Boulevard and the bridge are not yet operational, despite being 
discussed for years. 
 
Cited past experience where planned future roads never materialized, 
leaving neighborhoods without promised access.

 
Recounted a lightning storm that caused multiple road closures and a 
backyard fire. 
 
Emergency services took 17 minutes to respond; residents extinguished the 
fire themselves. 
 
Referenced a recent grass fire in the Hatch Pit where emergency access was 
again limited, requiring wildland fire units. 
 
Expressed serious concern about adding 200–250+ new homes without 
improving access. 
• 
Bridge & Bonding 
 
Explained that the bridge (access from Lewisville Hwy) was only bonded and 
guaranteed after years of residents advocating and expressing concern that 
it might never be built. 
 
Asked the Council to provide similar protection now, rather than relying on 
future promises. 
• 
Neighborhood Equity & Amenities 
 
Noted that although the new development is adjacent, it is treated as a 
separate HOA, limiting Fairway Estates residents’ access to green space 
and amenities. 
 
Golf course green space is not public and explicitly marked as off-limits. 
 
Stated Fairway Estates lacks: 
• 
Walkable access to the City 
• 
Sidewalks on East River Road and Lewisville Highway 
• 
Usable public green space 
 
Lives in an older (1998) home with a large lot and mature landscaping. 
 
Expressed concern about protecting home values and neighborhood 
character near the golf course. 
• 
Infrastructure Concerns 
 
Questioned water pressure assurances, noting that measurements were 
taken in winter. 
 
Requested testing during peak summer irrigation months, when residents 
already experience low pressure. 
• 
Overall Message 
 
Urged the City to prioritize roads, sidewalks, access, and emergency safety 
before approving large new developments. 
 
Framed her request as a call for protection of existing residents, not 
opposition to new neighbors. 
 
• 
Darick Sontag, 5188 Grassy Hill 
• 
Questioned how the property was zoned R-2 or R-3, stating that this level of 
density does not fit the existing neighborhood. 
• 
Reported that many neighbors oppose the project and are not supportive of the 
development. 
• 
Raised concerns about increased traffic, noise, and overall neighborhood 
impacts associated with higher-density development.

680 Park Avenue 
Idaho Falls, ID 
• 
Emphasized the potential loss of property values, noting that denser 
development changes buyer preferences and reduces the pool of potential 
homebuyers. 
• 
Stated they are not opposed to growth but believe this project does not make 
sense in this location. 
• 
Urged the City Council to prioritize existing Idaho Falls residents and 
neighborhood compatibility over the interests of out-of-state developers. 
 
• 
Amber Reynolds, 5288 Cypress Creek 
• 
Lives five houses from the proposed PUD in a quiet, family-oriented 
neighborhood with many young children who regularly play outside. 
• 
Expressed serious safety concerns about adding 250 or more additional 
vehicles to neighborhood streets, noting that children, despite safety guidance, 
can act unpredictably. 
• 
Clarified she is not opposed to housing or growth, but believes the density and 
scale of the PUD do not fit the neighborhood’s aesthetics, lifestyle, or 
expectations when residents purchased their homes. 
• 
Works at Ethel Boyes Elementary School and noted District 91 elementary 
schools are already over 90% capacity. 
• 
Raised concerns that combined with other nearby developments, the area 
could see 500–600+ new homes, further overwhelming school capacity. 
• 
Asked the Council to consider whether the proposed PUD would truly make the 
area a safe and happy place for families. 
 
• 
Zack Bennett, 480 Pevero Drive 
• 
Lives near the 5th West outlet, a high-traffic intersection. 
• 
Urged the Council that if the project is approved, they should strictly require 
completion of a functional, usable bridge. 
• 
Emphasized that language must be clear and unambiguous about what 
“completed and finished” means. 
• 
Stated that a true bridge completion should provide direct traffic access to the 
City, not routing traffic down Pevero to Fifth West, but instead allowing access 
from Lewisville. 
• 
Requested the Council “hold the line” on bridge requirements to ensure 
meaningful access and traffic relief. 
 
• 
Curtis St. Michel, 275 Pevero 
• 
Lives near the end of the affected area and stated most concerns had already 
been raised but emphasized infrastructure and access issues. 
• 
Warned that East River Road is already overburdened, with multiple current and 
planned developments funneling traffic onto it. 
• 
Noted physical constraints on East River Road (power lines on one side, canal 
on the other) that make widening or major improvements difficult.

• 
Argued that adding a turn lane alone will not address traffic volumes created by 
existing and future development. 
• 
Stated there is no safe access to town except by car, and even driving is 
marginal; walking or biking is unsafe, especially for children. 
• 
Highlighted that children have limited access to schools and destinations due 
to lack of infrastructure. 
• 
Expressed frustration that development has proceeded without adequate 
supporting infrastructure along the corridor. 
• 
Acknowledged that East River Road and related roads are county roads, 
questioning what authority the City has to make necessary improvements. 
• 
Concluded that residents feel left to simply “live with it” without solutions. 
 
• 
Terri McIsaac, 6724 N. Orlinda Lane 
• 
Lives in J & K Estates and expressed concern about increased traffic on 65th 
North due to new development. 
• 
Noted that construction vehicles and large trucks have damaged roads multiple 
times. 
• 
Highlighted that biking and walking are difficult in the area due to traffic and lack 
of infrastructure. 
• 
Stated that J & K Estates lacks green space or pedestrian paths, and while this is 
currently acceptable under county jurisdiction, it is concerning as part of future 
City growth. 
• 
Requested that the City take a broader look at development impacts and 
consider slowing the pace of growth to address these issues. 
 
• 
Alice Durfree, 5214 Cypress Creek 
• 
Lives on Cypress Creek and appreciates the developer’s efforts to work with the

better fit the neighborhood and accommodate older residents. 
 
• 
McKenzie Burden, 5279 Eaglewood 
• 
Lives at 5279 Eaglewood and has deep personal/family ties to the neighborhood

Allen Rainsdon, 5675 Eaglewood 
• 
Lives on Eaglewood near the end of the street. 
• 
Acknowledges that the developer is trying to work with the community, but his 
main concern is City infrastructure. 
• 
Key infrastructure concerns include: 
o 
Road capacity 
o 
Water supply 
o 
Schools 
o 
Buffer zones / green space 
• 
Suggests expanding the green space between single-family homes and 
townhomes to create a solid green belt, which could help with capacity and 
neighborhood cohesion. 
• 
Questions whether private roads and access to amenities (dog park, green 
areas) will truly be available to existing homes. 
• 
Notes that future developments and connector roads may also face capacity 
challenges, and recommends planning infrastructure improvements with a 
long-term perspective. 
 
• 
Jim Matheson, 5315 Rock Hollow Lane 
• 
Acknowledges that the developers have made efforts to address neighborhood 
concerns. 
• 
Access concerns: 
o 
5th West is not a safe entrance or exit for the neighborhood. 
o 
Turn lanes and modifications are inadequate. 
o 
Road safety is a major issue for all vehicles. 
• 
Housing mismatch concerns: 
o 
Townhomes are being built next to high-value single-family homes, 
creating a market value mismatch. 
o 
Examples include townhomes nearby next to Heritage Hills single-family 
homes. 
o 
Worries that this mismatch could negatively affect property values long-
term.

Sarah Williams, 5355 Eaglewood 
• 
Neighborhood buffer: Suggests using parks instead of houses as a buffer 
between existing and new development for a more appealing layout.

• 
Kyle Hicken, 375 Pevero Drive

o 
Concerned that the new high-density townhomes will increase 
congestion without providing meaningful relief for the neighborhood. 
• 
Access & City planning issues: 
o 
Criticizes the development’s reliance on residential roads instead of 
major arterials for high-density access. 
o 
Warns that future high-density developments north and east will 
exacerbate traffic problems and landlock the neighborhood.

Infrastructure & long-term planning: Emphasizes that this project doesn’t 
account for broader neighborhood infrastructure needs and calls for smart City 
planning with proper access and consideration of cumulative density. 
• 
Overall stance: Opposes the development’s current design due to traffic, 
access, and long-term planning concerns.

Further Discussion by Council and Developer: 
1. Project Overview and Construction Updates: 
• 
The development involves Sage Lakes Boulevard and adjacent residential areas. 
Construction of the road is nearly complete; curb, gutter, sewer, and irrigation lines are 
installed, with the final asphalt layer pending plant availability and suitable temperatures. 
Road completion is expected early in the year (Feb–Apr). 
• 
Once Sage Lakes Boulevard opens, it will significantly improve traffic flow, allowing 
residents south of the area to avoid long detours. Some shifts in traffic patterns are 
expected but are considered manageable. 
2. Housing and Market Considerations: 
• 
Homes are primarily single-family, ~1,800 sq. ft., two-story. 
• 
The PUD includes a mix of townhomes and detached homes, designed to fit neighborhood 
character and include green space, trails, and rear-facing homes to minimize visual impact. 
3. Zoning, Density, and Prescriptive Rights: 
• 
Current zoning (R2/R3A) allows up to 340 units by-right; the PUD proposes 246 units, 
reducing density while adding amenities. 
• 
“Prescriptive rights” mean developers could build to the maximum allowed under R2/R3A 
without Council approval. The PUD offers more controlled, neighborhood-friendly 
development compared to by-right development. 
• 
Height restrictions and density cannot be arbitrarily changed by Council; conditions must 
comply with existing ordinance. 
4. Infrastructure and Public Services: 
• 
Water and sewer improvements have addressed prior low-pressure issues, including a 
completed loop and redundant water lines. 
• 
Transportation infrastructure plans are in progress: 5th West and Lewisville Highway are 
being upgraded, with a five-lane facility proposed to accommodate future traffic from the I-
15/US-20 connection. 
• 
A new fire station, funded by impact fees, is located near the development, ensuring rapid 
response. 
• 
The PUD also provides pedestrian connections, green space, and pathways, enhancing 
walkability and safety. 
5. The hearing was closed and followed by Council deliberation and rationale: 
• 
Council’s role is to apply the PUD ordinance, not to address school capacity or population 
growth directly. 
• 
Traffic concerns were addressed via studies, and road improvements are planned; 
construction traffic routing cannot be legally conditioned. 
• 
Council members emphasized that the PUD is preferable to by-right development because 
it reduces density, preserves green space, and creates a more aesthetically pleasing and 
functional neighborhood.

• 
Positive aspects highlighted include the developer’s responsiveness to neighborhood 
input, thoughtful design (rear-facing homes, no driveways on certain streets), and inclusion 
of mixed housing types. 
• 
While school capacity remains a concern, Council members support broader solutions, 
including school bonds for new elementary facilities. 
• 
Overall, the PUD is seen as a well-planned, community-oriented compromise that 
balances growth, infrastructure, neighborhood character, and livability, avoiding 
unchecked sprawl.

Access &Infrastructure
Primary access north of Sage Lakes Boulevard
includes a new bridge  and roadway. Internal
circulation via private roads designed to prevent  
cut-through traffic.

Alignment with Imagine IF Comprehensive Plan
Adopted by the City Council on February 24, 2022, the Imagine IF Comprehensive Plan provides strategic guidance for Idaho Falls' growth and development. This forward-
thinking document emphasizes diverse, thoughtful development that serves residents across all life stages while utilizing existing infrastructure efficiently.
Mixed ResidentialDevelopment
Supports combining townhomes and single-family homes within R2 zones to
create vibrant, varied neighborhoods that accommodate different household
needs and preferences.
Middle-Market Housing Near Amenities
Encourages development of attainable housing options in established areas  
with existing infrastructure, schools, and services rather than forcing continued  
suburban sprawl.
Compact Development Over Sprawl
Promotes efficient use of land and infrastructure through thoughtful density  
that maintains quality while reducing the fiscal and environmental costs of  
sprawling development patterns.
Embracing AppropriateDensity
Recognizes that well-designed density enhances housing affordability and  
choice while supporting the commercial viability of neighborhood services and  
reducing per-unit infrastructure costs.
Variety in Housing Types and Prices
Advocates for neighborhoods that offer multiple housing forms and price
points, enabling residents to find suitable homes regardless of life stage,
household composition, or economic circumstances.
Strategic Infill Development
Prioritizes development in areas where water, sewer, roads, and other  
infrastructure already exist, maximizing return on public investment and  
reducing long-term maintenance burdens.

Supporting Aging in Place and Lifecycle Housing
The Challenge
As Fairway Estates residents age, many face difficult choices: maintain large  
homes that no longer suit their needs or leave the neighborhood entirely. This  
out-migration breaks community bonds and forces residents away from familiar  
surroundings, friends, and local connections built over decades.
The Imagine IFVision
"The City should support 'aging in place' by encouraging a variety of housing options that  
allow residents to remain in their neighborhoods as their needs change over time. This  
includes providing accessible single-level homes, townhomes, and senior housing that  
enable transitions from larger family dwellings to smaller, more manageable units without  
requiring relocation."
—Imagine IF Comprehensive Plan, Page 59, Chapter 4: Housing, Goal H-2
"Aging in place is a key strategy for Idaho Falls, where residents can downsize within the  
same community, fostering intergenerational connections and reducing the economic and  
emotional costs of moving. The plan prioritizes zoning and development standards that  
accommodate accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and multi-generational homes to support  
this transition."
—Imagine IF Comprehensive Plan, Page 61, Chapter 4: Housing, Policy H-2.1

Creating Housing Diversity for Long-Term Community Retention
The Foundation: Balanced Housing Mix
"To meet the needs of a growing and changing population, Idaho Falls must provide a balanced mix of housing product types, including single-family detached homes, attached  
townhomes, multifamily apartments, and senior living options. This diversity ensures that families, young professionals, and older adults can find suitable housing within  
established neighborhoods, promoting long-term residency and neighborhood stability."
—Imagine IF Comprehensive Plan, Page 58, Chapter 4: Housing, Objective H-1
Right-Sizing Within Communities
"Residents should be able to 'right-size' their housing—moving from larger homes to  
smaller ones or from independent living to assisted options—while staying in the  
same area. By integrating a range of product types (e.g., duplexes, triplexes, and  
cottage clusters) into suburban and urban neighborhoods, the City can create  
vibrant, inclusive communities that adapt to life stages."
—Imagine IF Comprehensive Plan, Page 60, Chapter 4: Housing, Policy H-1.3
Preventing Out-Migration
"The lack of diverse housing product types contributes to out-migration when  
families or seniors can no longer afford or maintain their current homes. Imagine IF  
envisions neighborhoods where residents can seamlessly transition between  
housing forms—such as from a four-bedroom single-family home to a low-
maintenance townhome—keeping economic contributions local and strengthening  
community bonds."
—Imagine IF Comprehensive Plan, Page 62, Chapter 4: Housing, Implementation  
Strategy H-4
Sage Lakes Alignment: By combining 74 single-family homes with 246 townhomes, our development creates opportunities for seamless transitions within the same neighborhood,  
supporting residents through different life stages while maintaining their connection to Fairway Estates.

Building Resilient, Multi-Generational Neighborhoods
Community Character ThroughDiversity
"Diverse housing mixes are essential for creating resilient neighborhoods that support all life stages, from young families starting out to seniors  
aging in place. This approach minimizes the need for long-distance moves and aligns with the City's goal of compact growth, where 
product  variety (e.g., bungalows, rowhouses, and apartments) coexists with green spaces and amenities."
—Imagine IF Comprehensive Plan, Page 87, Chapter 6: Community Character, Neighborhood Design Principles
The Sage Lakes Approach: Our integration of townhomes and single-family homes, supported by 25.1% open space and comprehensive amenities,  
creates the type of vibrant, inclusive community envisioned in Imagine IF—one that welcomes residents across all life stages while fighting sprawl  
through thoughtful density.
Young Families Starting Out
Established Households
Downsizing and Aging in Place

A More Thoughtful Approach to Density
The Sage Lakes PUD proposes significantly lower density than entitled under current zoning, prioritizing quality and community harmony
over  maximum unit count. This reduction represents a deliberate choice to balance growth with neighborhood character.
R2 Maximum Entitlement
17 units peracre
340-350 potential units on 20 acres
Minimal open space requirements
Standard R2 amenity provisions
Sage LakesProposal
<12 units per acre
320 total units (74 SF + 246 townhomes)
25.1% dedicated open space
Enhanced amenitiespackage
The Difference
20%below maximum density
94 fewer units than entitled
Significantly more greenspace
Superior community features
By utilizing the Planned Unit Development framework, we can deliver amenities and design features that exceed standard R2 requirements  
while maintaining lower overall density than maximum entitlements would allow.

Enhanced Amenities Through PUD Design
The PUD Advantage
The Planned Unit Development approach enables us to exceed standard R2 zoning  
requirements, delivering exceptional community features that would not be required  
under conventional development. With over 25% of the site dedicated to open space—
far surpassing minimum standards—residents gain access to thoughtfully designed  
gathering places and recreational opportunities.
What Maximum Density Would Mean
If developed at the full R2 entitlement of 17 units per acre, this site could  
accommodate 340+ units with minimal open space and no requirement for the  
enhanced amenities package we're proposing. The result would be significantly higher  
traffic generation, greater infrastructure demands, and reduced quality of life for both  
new and existingresidents.
Included Community Features
•
Two Modern Playgrounds: Safe, age-appropriate  
equipment for families
•
Community Pavilion: Covered gathering space for
events
•
Dual Dog Parks: Dedicated areas for pets and their  
owners
•
Grassy Hills: Natural play areas and visual interest
•
Walking Trail Network: Connecting all amenities
•
Landscaped Buffers: Enhanced privacy and  
aesthetics

Traffic and Infrastructure: ComprehensiveAnalysis
The Concerns Raised
Residents at our neighborhood meeting expressed concerns about overwhelming roads and bridges with increased traffic volumes, potential infrastructure strain on water and gas systems,  
and impacts on local schools. These concerns warranted thorough, independent analysis.
Understanding Level of Service (LOS)
Traffic engineers measure intersection efficiency using Level of Service, which grades  
performance from A (Excellent) to F (Failing) based on average delay time per vehicle:
•
LOS A (Excellent): Less than 10 second delay
•
LOS B (Good): 10-15 seconddelay
•
LOS C (Stable): 15-25 second delay
•
LOS D (Acceptable): 25-35 second delay
•
LOS E (Congested): 35-55 second delay
•
LOS F (Failing): More than 55 second delay
Idaho Falls requires new developments to maintain minimum LOS D at affected  
intersections. Sage Lakes exceeds this standard significantly.
Professional Traffic Impact Assessment
Focus Engineering completed an independent Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) on October 2,  
2025, examining impacts through 2033. The study analyzed two key intersections using  
actual traffic counts from September 2025:
•
5th East & Sage Lakes Boulevard
•
5th West & Pevero Drive
Infrastructure Coordination
The new Sage Lakes Boulevard bridge and roadway will be phased to match development,  
with all utility systems sized and reviewed by city engineers. Private internal roads prevent  
cut-through traffic while maintaining emergency access. Water, gas, and sewer capacity has  
been confirmed adequate for the proposed density.

Addressing Property Value Concerns
The Concern
At our August 27 neighborhood meeting, residents expressed concerns that townhomes would  
decrease surrounding property values. This belief, while understandable, is not supported by  
market research or economic analysis.
The Builder's Perspective
Our development team—building both the townhomes and single-family homes—has a direct  
financial stake in maintaining high quality standards. Lower-quality townhomes would cannibalize  
sales of the adjacent single-family homes we're also marketing. This economic reality ensures  
quality remains paramount across all housing types.
Quality Specifications
•
Townhomes average 1,800+ square feet
•
Two-car attached garages standard
•
Premium finishes and materials
•
Modern architectural design
•
Owner-occupied
What ResearchShows
70%
No Impact or Positive
Studies findingneutral or beneficial
effects on surrounding values
30%
Varies by Context
Outcomes depend on design quality
and amenities
Academic and Industry Research:
•
NYU Furman Center: "Positive effects... on surrounding property values"  
from well-designed multifamily
•
MassLandlords: "Gently increased density... slight boost to property  
values"
•
National Association of Realtors: "No impact or positive" from low-
income/multifamily housing
•
Virginia Tech Study: Homeowners associations (like our HOA) boost  
values through maintained standards
The market demands diverse housing options, as emphasized in Imagine IF. Similar PUDs throughout Idaho Falls have enhanced their surrounding areas through quality  
design and community amenities rather than diminishing property values.

Safety, Crime Prevention, and Family-Friendly Design
Addressing Crime Concerns
Neighborhood meeting comments raised concerns about increased crime and  
disruption to Fairway Estates' family-friendly character. These concerns deserve serious  
consideration and evidence-basedresponse.
Why OwnershipMatters
Sage Lakes consists entirely of individually owned townhomes and single-family homes.
Research consistently shows owner-occupied housing correlates with:
•
More stable, long-termresidents
•
Greater investment inproperty maintenance
•
Stronger neighborhood connections
•
Active participation in communitylife
These ownership characteristics promote the same family-oriented environment that
existing Fairway Estates residents value.
Evidence from SimilarDevelopments
Similar PUD projects in Idaho Falls, including the recently approved Creekside  
Townhomes, show no correlation with increased crime rates. Well-designed, owner-
occupied communities contribute positively to neighborhood safety.
Safety Through Design
The Sage Lakes site plan incorporates multiple features specifically designed to  
enhance safety and foster community:
•
Comprehensive Lighting: LED pathway and street lighting throughout common  
areas
•
Open Sight Lines: Playgrounds and gathering spaces visible from multiple homes
•
Natural Surveillance: Windows and entries oriented toward common areas
•
Defined Spaces: Clear transitions between public and private areas
•
Active Amenities: Playgrounds and dog parks encourage regular use, creating  
natural oversight
•
Landscaped Buffers: Visual screening without creating hiding places
•
Maintained Trails: Connected walking paths promote healthy activity and "eyes on  
the street"
Building Community Connections
The pavilion, playgrounds, and dog parks serve as natural gathering points where  
neighbors meet and form relationships. These social bonds—supported by ownership  
stability—create the strongest foundation for safe, family-friendly neighborhoods that  
align with Imagine IF's vision for community character.

Thoughtful Buffers and Visual Harmony
Concerns raised by meeting attendees regarding proximity and aesthetic clash with Fairway Estates are directly addressed through substantial physical separation and cohesive  
design standards.
Physical SeparationStrategy
Sage Lakes provides buffering between existing Fairway Estates homes and the townhomes, substantially exceeding typical development standards:
•
Three complete rows of single-family homes buffer the development’s southern edge.
•
Two full internal roadways (32 ft wide) with enhanced landscaping zones.
•
Enhanced landscaping zones including trees, shrubs, and berms.
Architectural Cohesion
The townhome and single-family home designs share consistent architectural elements that respect Fairway Estates' character:
•
Modern traditional styling with clean lines.
•
Neutral color palettes (grays, tans, whites) and quality exterior materials (fiber cement, stone accents).
•
Thoughtful roof lines and window proportions.
•
Two-car garages (preventing street parking clutter).
The PUD framework enables these enhanced buffer and design standards, which exceed what would be required under standard R2 development. This extra investment directly  
responds to neighbor feedback and ensures a cohesive, high-quality environment.

Community Benefits: A Comprehensive View
The Sage Lakes PUD delivers measurable benefits to existing residents, future homeowners, and the broader Idaho Falls community through thoughtful design that balances growth with quality of life.
Enhanced Neighborhood Amenities
4.51 acres of open space including two playgrounds, pavilion, dual dog parks, walking trails, and landscaped  
gathering areas—facilities that existing Fairway Estates residents can enjoy through trail connections.
Responsible Development
At < 12 units per acre, density stays 20% below maximum entitlements, reducing traffic, infrastructure  
demands, and visual impact compared to what could be built by-right under current zoning.
Housing Choice andStability
Mixed housing types enable aging in place and lifecycle transitions, keeping residents in Fairway Estates as
needs change rather than forcing moves to other communities.
Quality Standards
Owner-occupied homes with HOA-maintained standards, enhanced buffers, and premium design features
protect property values while fostering stable, engaged community members.
Alignment with CityGoals
Imagine IF Comprehensive PlanImplementation:
•
Supports aging in place (Goal H-2)
•
Provides diverse housing mix (Objective H-1)
•
Prevents out-migration (Strategy H-4)
•
Promotes compact growth over sprawl
•
Strengthens community character through design
•
Maximizes existing infrastructure investment
Direct Response to NeighborFeedback:
•
Larger townhome units (1,800+ SF) with two-car garages
•
Substantial buffers
•
100% for sale products
•
Independent traffic analysis confirming minimal impact
•
Enhanced landscaping and visual screening
•
Phased development matching infrastructure capacity

Recommendation for Approval
We Request Planning Commission Approval
The Sage Lakes Planned Unit Development represents thoughtful, community-oriented growth that balances  
property rights and entitlements with neighbor concerns and city planning goals. This proposal deserves  
advancement to City Council based on:
•
Compliance with Imagine IF: Directly implements adopted comprehensive plan policies on housing  
diversity, aging in place, and compact development
•
Neighbor Responsiveness: Incorporates feedback from August 27 meeting with not maximizing density or  
unit count, including larger units, and ownership focus
•
Technical Validation: Independent traffic analysis confirms minimal impact; all intersections exceed city  
standards through 2033
•
Planning Precedent: Consistent with recent Commission approvals for Creekside Townhomes, Highland  
Park, and setback flexibility
•
Council Direction: Aligns with expressed support from multiple councilors for density, housing options,  
and anti-sprawldevelopment
•
Evidence-Based Design: Research supports property value stability and community benefits from well-
designed, owner-occupied developments
Sage Lakes offers Fairway Estates a rare opportunity: growth that enhances rather than diminishes community
character, providing housing choices that keep residents local while delivering amenities that benefit the entire
neighborhood.
Thank You

Appendix: Supporting PlanningDocuments
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes - July 1, 2025
These minutes document the Planning Commission's approval of reduced rear setbacks for alley-loaded homes, demonstrating support for flexible  
development standards that enable diverse housing types.
Setback Amendment Key Points
•
Reduced rear setbacks to 3 feet for homes with alley access
•
Increases housing type flexibility and efficiency
•
Enables better lot utilization in urban contexts
•
Approved unanimously by Commission
Commissioner Comments
"A step in the right direction [for flexibility]."
—Commissioner Meehan
"Lives in TN... 3' rule... maximizes property."
—Commissioner Ihler
Relevance to Sage Lakes
This amendment reflects the Commission's recognition that thoughtful  flexibility in
development standards can enhance housing options without  compromising quality 
or neighborhood character. The Sage Lakes PUD  similarly seeks appropriate 
variances that enable superior outcomes  through planned development rather than
rigid adherence to conventional  zoning.
The Commission's support for this amendment demonstrates openness to  
creative solutions that address housing needs while maintaining design  
quality—the same philosophy underlying the Sage Lakes proposal.

Appendix: Planning Commission Precedents
Meeting Minutes - June 3, 2025
These minutes document three significant approvals demonstrating Planning Commission support for townhome developments, thoughtful density, and  
creative infill solutions.
Creekside Townhomes PUD
145-unit townhome development approved at 10.4 units/acre with enhanced amenities including pickleball courts and playground.  
Commissioners praised the developer for preserving Willowcreek and addressing neighbor concerns—establishing positive precedent for  
similar projects.
Highland Park Plat
Infill development featuring attached homes received Commission approval for creative solutions that efficiently utilize available land while  
respecting neighborhood context. Commissioners specifically applauded the innovative approach to infill challenges.
Sage Lakes Comparison
At 13.65 units/acre, Sage Lakes proposes lower density than Creekside while providing similar amenity packages and thoughtful design. The
project follows the same principles that earned Commission praise in recent approvals: responding to concerns, preserving natural features,
and delivering quality development.

Appendix: Neighborhood Meeting Documentation
1.
Density Concerns: Residents questioned whether 273 units would  
overwhelm the area
2.
Traffic Impact: Worries about increased congestion and bridge capacity
3.
Property Values: Fear that townhomes would decrease neighboring  
home values
4.
Crime and Safety: Concerns about security and family-friendly character
5.
Aesthetic Fit: Questions about architecturalcompatibility
6.
Proximity: Desire for maximum separation from existing homes
7.
Infrastructure: Questions about water, sewer, and school capacity
August 27, 2025 Meeting Summary
On August 27, 2025, the development team hosted a neighborhood meeting attended by 31 Fairway Estates residents. This session provided opportunity for  
direct dialogue about the Sage Lakes proposal and generated valuable feedback that shaped design refinements.
Key Themes from Meeting
Design ResponsesImplemented
•
Committed to density 20% below maximum entitlement
•
Commissioned independent Traffic Impact Analysis
•
Increased townhome sizes to 1,800+ SF with 2-car garages
•
Enhanced buffer zones with 515' total separation
•
Emphasized 100% ownership model (no rentals)
•
Coordinated with city utilities on infrastructure capacity
•
Refined architectural elevations for visual harmony
Ongoing Engagement
The development team remains committed to continued dialogue with  
Fairway Estates residents throughout the approval and construction process,  
ensuring concerns are addressed proactively.

Appendix: Neighbor CommentExamples
Written Feedback from Fairway Estates Residents
During the public input process, residents submitted written comments expressing concerns about the Sage Lakes proposal. These comments, including handwritten notes from attendees, helped  
identify key themes requiring response and analysis.
Sample Comment Themes
From Meeting Attendee: "Home values... will decrease. Crime... schools overloaded. Keep townhomes away...
harmony with aesthetic."
This comment captures several core concerns that the presentation addresses through multiple lines of evidence:
•
Property Values: Addressed through research showing no negative impact from well-designed, owner-occupied
developments, plus economic logic of shared builder maintaining quality across all housing types
•
Crime: Addressed through ownership structure, safety-conscious design features, and precedent from similar  
communities showing no correlation
•
School Capacity: Addressed through phased development timeline and recognition that owner-occupied homes  
attract similar demographics to existing neighborhood
•
Aesthetic Harmony: Addressed through cohesive architectural design, and enhanced landscaping
Response Philosophy
Rather than dismissing neighbor concerns, the development team has:
1.
Taken each concernseriously
2.
Sought objective evidence and expert analysis
3.
Made design refinements where appropriate
4.
Provided transparent, data-driven responses
5.
Maintained opencommunication channels
This approach recognizes that existing residents have legitimate interests  
in how their neighborhood evolves, while also balancing property rights,  
market demand, and city planning goals.

The Idaho Falls Planning Commission has recently approved multiple projects demonstrating consistent support for townhomes, thoughtful density, and flexible development standards. These precedents establish clear alignment
between the Sage Lakes proposal and current planning priorities.

These approvals demonstrate the Planning Commission's recognition that townhome developments, when thoughtfully designed with appropriate amenities and buffers, enhance neighborhoods while addressing critical housing  
needs. Sage Lakes follows this proven approach at a lower density than Creekside (13.65 vs. 10.4 units/acre).
