Powell: Yes, sir. That had me confused. Zaremba: The property in the upper left. Powell: That had me confused for a bit, too. I was worried. Zaremba: This property does show on this map, but it's not the one that's emphasized. Powell: Yes, sir. It does show, doesn't it? Zaremba: Mr. Chairman, I move that we forward to the City Council recommending approval of VAC 04-002, request for a vacation of easements for Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, Lots 3 and 4, Block 1, Lots 1 and 2, Block 2, and Lots 4 and 5, Block 2, for Scottsdale Subdivision by Landmark Engineering and Planning, Incorporated, south of west Franklin Road and east of South Linder Road, to include all staff comments of their memo for the hearing date April 1st, 2004, received by the City. Clerk March 26, 2004. Rohm: Second. Borup: Motion and second. All in favor? Any opposed? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 6: Public Hearing: PFP 04-003 Request for Preliminary Final Plat approval of 1 condominium plat on 1.24 acres in a L-O zone for Riverbirch Courtyard Condominiums by N.M. Enterprises -south of East Overland Road and east of Celebration Avenue: Item 7: Public Hearing: CUP 04-007 Request for a detailed Conditional Use Permit for Riverbirch Courtyard Condominiums as required by the Development Agreement for Resolution Business Park for amedical / dental office use in an L-O zone by N. M. Enterprises -south of East Overland Road and east of Celebration Avenue: Borup: Okay. Our next item is Public Hearing PFP 04-003, request for preliminary/final plat for one condominium plat on 1.24 acres in an L-O zone for Riverbirch Courtyard Condominiums by N.M. Enterprises. This is south of East Overland Road and east of Celebration. And, then, accompanying that is CUP 04-007, request for detailed Conditional Use Permit for the same project. I'd like to open both hearings at this time and start with our staff report. Hood: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. The site is located near the southeast corner of Overland Road and Celebration Avenue. This is Eagle Road Meridian Planning & Zoning April 1, 2004 Page 6 of 89 here. The high school is right here. Mountain View High School is right here. It's currently zoned L-O, Limited Office, and designated as commercial on the 2002 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The other surrounding properties to the north of the site is currently vacant. As you can see here, there is a lot of vacant land around this site right now. Same with the east. There is just to the other side of this -- the subject site is, actually, half of what is blocked here. There is a building for a pediatrics facility in this location here and some other dental offices and medical type office uses have been also approved in this general vicinity. The applicant has applied for a preliminary/final plat and detailed Conditional Use Permit approval for a new 12,010 square foot medical/dental office on 1.24 acres. The site is commonly known as Lot 2, Block 1, in Gala Park Subdivision, which was recorded recently. The applicant is proposing to divide the plat and proposed building into 289 condominium units. You can see the proposed building here and the rough outline of the condominium. The purpose of the subject preliminary/final plat application is to divide the proposed 12,000 square foot building into 289 condominium units. These units have been designed by the applicant to provide flexibility for space planning by future owners of the condominium spaces. The process for recording a condominium plat is real similar to the platting of ground. Idaho Code requires a landowner to record a -- the landowner of record to submit a plat or a survey map of the surface of the ground included with the project and floor plans of the building or buildings built in sufficient detail to identify each unit. The submitted preliminary final condominium plat appears to meet these requirements. In addition to the preliminary/final plat for the condominium, the applicant is also requesting Conditional Use Permit approval, because the original Resolution Subdivision required all future uses within that development to obtain CUP approval from the city, so that is what the applicant has submitted. I did just want to briefly touch on what is going on here with access. Again, this building here, the pediatrics building, is -- currently exists on the other side of the lot. This is the subject lot and the lot line would be in this general location. This parking lot is here. The applicant is proposing to take out some of the existing barrier that would be between the two lots and connect these two drive aisles and add this additional parking, as well as another access out to - - (believe this is Gala Street here. So, staff is requiring applicant to gain approval from this lot owner to go across their property to use that driveway and has access to the public roadway system and also grant this lot owner an easement across their property to use this as access as well. This application is pretty clean. Staff is recommending approval with the conditions in the staff report submitted for this hearing. And if you have any questions I will answer them. Borup: Questions from any of the Commissioners? Zaremba: I do have one process question. On their affidavit of posting, I guess you would call it. They supply a picture. The sign does not appear to be of the size that we had been requiring. Does that have any affect on the actual posting? Borup: I think the size is for five acres and larger, so -- a lot of the applicants have chosen to go the larger size. Isn't that correct? Meridian Planning & Zoning April 1, 2004 Page 7 of 89 Hood: Yeah. I don't have that part of the ordinance in front of me. Yeah, it's five acres or less -- or five acres or more you have to do the four-by-four. Zaremba: Yeah. Hood: If it's less than that and they are just doing a plat, you can do 11-by-17. Zaremba: Okay. Hood: So, yeah, that is sufficient. Borup: I think a lot have gone with the larger, even they weren't required. Zaremba: Okay. Satisfies me. Borup: Any other questions, Commissioners? Is there anything that the applicant would like to add? Is the applicant here? Guho: Good evening. Mark Guho with N.M Enterprises. If you have any questions for me, I would be glad to -- Borup: I assume you're in agreement with all staff comments and conditions? Guho: Yes. We also were the ones that built the Treasure Valley pediatric complex next door. Borup: Okay. Guho: And we already approved -- or have their approval for the cross-access agreement for parking. Borup: I think that's probably the main question we have, if you're in agreement with all the staff comments and if there is any other questions from -- Moe: Now, Mr. Chairman, actually, in our packet there is a letter from them stating they took no opposition to the comments. Borup: Okay. Guho: We also have here Roylance Engineers and ZGA's representative as well, if you have any questions on the building or the engineering. Zaremba: My only comment is that we constantly ask for innovative and creative ideas and this appears to be one. I commend you for coming up with it. Let me just ask in your process or whoever is going to be selling the condominium spaces, am I Meridian Planning 8 Zoning April 1, 2D04 Page 8 of 89 interpreting correctly that somebody who wants to buy would come in and buy ten of these units or 40 of them, depending the floor space they needed? Guho: Yeah. If you could maybe put back the -- Zaremba: The one that has the grid on it. Yeah. Guho: Currently on the -- it would be the right side we have the two large portions already accounted for and it looks like the front one we might have accounted for and, then, the back units are cut up so we can basically divide that space into two different spaces and utilize those units for selling different increments, so it seems to work pretty good. Zaremba: It sounds like a creative idea to me. Borup: Thank you. Do we have anyone else here that would like to testify on this application? Seeing none -- Moe: Mr. Chairman? Borup: Commissioner Moe. Moe: Yes. I move that we close the Public Hearing on PFP 04-003 and CUP 04-007. Zaremba: Second. Borup: Motion and second to close both public hearings. All in favor? Any opposed? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Moe: Mr. Chairman? Borup: Commissioner Moe. Moe: I move that we forward on to City Council approval of PFP 04-003 and CUP 04- 007. And city -- or excuse me. And staff comments to that hearing date -- Borup: Why don't we go ahead and take each one separately. Moe: Okay. All right. Make sure I have got the right one here. Borup: So, I think you already mentioned 003, so let's just vote on that one. Moe: Okay. On 04-003, the hearing date of April 1st, 2004, and received by the City Clerk's office March 26, 2004. Meridian Planning & Zoning April 1, 2004 Page 9 of 89 Rohm: Second. Borup: Motion and second. All in favor? Any opposed? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Borup: And we have got the other one. Moe: I'm working on that. Borup: Okay. Moe: Mr. Chairman, I move that we recommend approval on to City Council of CUP 04- 007, with a hearing date of April 1st, 2004, and the City Clerk's receipt notice of March 26, 2004. Zaremba: You're referring to the staff memo? Moe: I'm sorry. The staff memo. That's correct. Zaremba: I'll second it. Borup: Motion and second. All in favor? Any opposed? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 8: Public Hearing: PFP 04-002 Request for Preliminary /Final Plat approval for the re-subdivision of Lot 3, Block 10, of Bridgetower Crossing Subdivision No. 2 into 3 building lots on 2.63 acres in an R-4 zone for Bridgetower Crossing/Gallery Subdivision by Primeland Development, LLP -northeast corner of West Belltower Drive and North Ten Mile Road: Borup: Next item is Item No.8, PFP 04-002, request for apreliminary/final plat approval for a re-subdivision of Lot 3, Block 10, of Bridgetower Crossing Subdivision No. 2 into three building lots at the Bridgetower Crossing/Gallery Subdivision by Primeland Development. Again, we'd like to open this hearing and begin with the staff report. Hood: Thank you, Mr. Chair, Members of the Commission. This subject site is located on the east side of Ten Mile Road just north of Belltower Drive. This is Belltower here. Approximately a third of a mile south of McMillan Road in an R-4 zone. This property is currently designated office on the 2002 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. Just a brief overview of the existing surrounding land uses. There have been some plats of Bridgetower that have gone since these aerials were taken, but the properties to the north are still vacant at this time. I would like to point out that a city well is planned for this location right here. This is where the -- one of the waterfalls are in Bridgetower, in this general location here, and that will be a future plat of Bridgetower as well. To the
