Preliminary site plan for Sand Creek Commons shopping area

Click on this for a larger version.

While making the rounds today to see what might be going on, I found the preliminary site plan for the Sand Creek Commons development, on the southeast corner of Sunnyside Road and 25th East, otherwise known as Hitt Road.

Everyone who follows BizMojo Idaho even casually knows this development, by Ball Ventures and Woodbury Corp., will be home to Cabela's and a new D.L. Evans bank branch. There is a lot of dirt being moved there, and the cities of Idaho Falls and Ammon are on the same page over sharing the costs of widening Hitt Road south of Sunnyside. Credit for that should go to the respective City Council presidents, Idaho Falls Mayor Rebecca Casper said. That would be Bryan Powell for Ammon and Mike Lehto for Idaho Falls.

Click on the photo for a bigger version of the plan, which I laid on the floor and shot with my phone (feeling a lot like the Man From U.N.C.L.E.) If you find it hard to read, let me run down what's on it:

• 4 anchor tenant stores (of which Cabela's is one) and a retail strip on the north side
• Pads A through L
• Acres of parking

Please be aware that preliminary site plans are exactly that, preliminary. Things need to be reviewed at every level and signed off on. But this is where it is right now.
