Council Hesitantly Approves 78-Acre PUD on Bench Road By.MARKMKNDlOLA Journal Staff Writer Pocatello city council members Thursday night hesitantly agreed to uphold a planning and zoning commission recommendation that preliminary plans for a 78-acre planned unit development (PUD) be approved.

More than an hour was spent analyzing Pocatello architect Vern Hancock's elaborate presentation of maps and sketches. Hancock represents Terteling Properties Co. Ltd. of Boise. That firm plans to develop land north of the Holiday Inn and west of Highland High School.

Twenty-five acres would be commercial-retail, 43 acres would be single family residential, and the remaining portion would be multi-family residential. "AT THIS POINT IN TIME, we have no definite plans of what the commercial area will look like" Hancock told city council members, but he said the development's first phase is finalized. That consists of single family residences on R-2 lots. Shopping mall plans for the commercial zone would probably be drawn up in the third or fourth phase of the project after a street corridor, water lines, and sewer layout are confirmed, he said. Terteling developed Westgate Mall in Boise.

"A housewife in that area must now drive three miles to buy a loaf of bread," Hancock said. Councilman John Evans said asking for approval of a preliminary plat without having plans for a proposed shopping mall was like "putting a cart before the horse." SEVERAL COUNCILMEN EXPRESSED concern about maintaining building uniformity in the development's residential section, noting the city has little control over restrictive covenant agreements. Hancock said R-2 standards would hold in most cases and stated "at no points would apartments be higher than existing houses on Bench Road." "If I have anything to do with it, they won't go in," Evans remarked, referring to the apartments. "I think the council made a mistake letting apartments go in below Bench Road." Public works director John Postlewait reminded the council' 'no decisions have been made about ultimate fate of Bench Road," and city planning-research director Jerry Mason advised the city be able to recommend unit styles in the development. "If it seems like we're being over cautious" councilman Bill Roskelley told Hancock, "it's because we got burnt vou were to deviate from that plan, oftentimes the fault falls back on the city." IN OTHER MATTERS Thursday night, city manager Chuck Moss was instructed to move "post-haste" in determining the best means of handling subdivision development on land adjacent to the municipal airport.

Airport commission chairman Jim Howard recommended the city appraise and buv as much land adjacent as possible to the airport and possibly sell old airport land between the freeway and a frontage road. When asked if any property owners in the area had been approached, Howard replied they hadn't. The council also dealt with the following AN BY STEPHEN CLARK, Action Realty, for a conditional use permit for an additional unit in a four-plex at 864 Washington was denied. Clark did not appear. --Attorneys were told to draw up an ordinance rezoning an area on Yellowstone Avenue from the north edge of Alameda Plaza to Cedar Street.

That stretch will be commercial highway now, rather than commercial general. --The council declined to rezone land on Hiline Road from residential-two to com- mercial-local status. The rezoning request was made by Brent Goff and Ronald arid BarDee Miller. --CURT NOBLE OF THE American Litter Foundation asked the council for its moral support. Because of his organization has been unable to begin an extensive clean-up campaign, he said.

--Jim Hennessey, manager of Intermountain Raceway, agreed to sign a lease agreement with the city on drag strip rights. It will be renewed annually each January. Councilwoman Donna Boe served as substitute chairpoerson for vacationing Mayor Les Puree during the meeting. PEA, School Board Enter Fact Finding Morning Pocatello Education Association and Pocatello School District representatives entered fact-finding this morning, in an effort to open a dead-lock in contract negotiations for next year. Negotiations have been limited to salary and fringe benefits.

FACT-FINDER Joseph Sinclitico listened to representatives of the teachers and school board discuss their views on proposals presented by the PEA. Sinclitico, dean of the College of Law at the University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, arrived in Pocatello Thursday night for the fact-finding hearing. He was chosen by the Pocatello teachers and school board representatives from persons available from the American Arbitration Association. Before hearings began this morning, Allen Andersen, PEA chief negotiator, protested press attendance at the hearing. Andersen said only one member of the news media was there (at that time), and those involved in the fact-finding would be more comfortable if the media did not sit in.

GORDON WAFORD, the school board's chief negotiator, disagreed. He said the school district is a public body and its records are open to the public. Waford stressed the need for the public being informed, noting WEATHER they are school district patrons. He disagreed with Sinclitico, who pointed out that bargaining could be done privately. Waford said the session was not bargaining, but Sinclitico was there to make recommendations as a fact-finder.

Waford pointed to difficulties in the past, when the news media, barred from last year's negotiations, tried to get the story from both sides. SINCLITICO ASKED what assurance Waford had that the media would be accurate and indicated his experience with the press had involved inaccuracies and biased reporting. Sinclitico added he did not want to try the matter in the media. Last year, a three-person fact finding team appointed by State School Superintendent Roy Truby had opened its fact-finding hearings to the media for background. Until then, negotiations had been clored to media.

THIS MORNING seven persons were present for the school board negotiating team, some IB for the PEA, and Dave Nimtz, the Southeast Idaho Uniserve director. School board member Dr. Myron Forges, who sat in on the meeting briefly, was the only trustee present.
