representative and an authorized representative ofthe Ada County Highway
District. The burden shall be upon the applicant to obtain written confirmation of
any change from the Ada County Highway District.
11.
Any change by the applicant in the planned use of the property which is the
subject oftJ¡js application, shall require the applicant to comply with all rules,
regulations, ordinances, plans, or other regulatory and legal restrictions in force at
the time the applicant or its successors in interest advises the Highway District of
its intent to change the planned use of the subject property unless a
waiver/variance of said requirements or other legal relief is granted pursuant to
the law in effect at the time the change in use is sought.
Adopt the action of the City Council taken at their September 7, 2004 meeting as follows:
For clarification:
1.
Applicant shall refrain from building on the lot through which the temporary
secondary access runs until the lots to the west are developed further whether as
residential which would require a stub street or as commercial in which case
access would be through the adjoining commercial property.
2.
It is anticipated that Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 of Larkspur Subdivision will someday
change from their single family home uses. This change may be for either
commercial or residential use. When tJ¡js occurs, Idaho Transportation
Department will eliminate their access to Meridian Road. Access needs to be
provided to these lots depending on the future use. If they were to develop as
commercial use, access will be provided from the commercial development on the
North and/or access from future commercial development from the south. If the
future development is residential then access would be allowed across Lot 20,
Block 1. In both cases there will be cross access easements across Lots 1 and 2,
Block 1. Once the use has been detennined for both Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, the
developer may then utilize the unused access for development. For example if the
use of Lots 1 and 2 were to become commercial and access to these lots were to
come from the north on Lot 5, Block 1, or some access from the south, then Lot
20, Block 1 would become a buildable lot. Likewise if the use of Lot 1 and 2
became residential use then access would come from the residential street,
Blackspur Way, across Lot 20, Block 1. At that time the access from Lot 5, Block
1 would not be needed and it could become part of a buildable lot in the
commercial development on the north.
Access approval to Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 is required before Lot 5 or Lot 20,
Block 1 could become a buildable lot.

District. The burden shall be upon the applicant to obtain written confirmation of
any change from the Ada County Highway District.
11.
Any change by the applicant in the planned use of the property which is the
subject of tJ¡js application, shall require the applicant to comply with all rules,
regulations, ordinances, plans, or other regulatory and legal restrictions in force at
the time the applicant or its successors in interest advises the Highway District of
its intent to change the planned use of the subject property unless a
waiver/variance of said requirements or other legal relief is granted pursuant to
the law in effect at the time the change in use is sought.
Adopt the action of the City Council taken at their September 7,2004 meeting as follows:
For clarification:
1.
Applicant shall refrain from building on the lot through which the temporary
secondary access runs until the lots to the west are developed further whether as
residential which would require a stub street or as commercial in which case
access would be through the adjoining commercial property.
2.
It is anticipated that Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 of Larkspur Subdivision will someday
change from their single family home uses. This change may be for either
commercial or residential use. When this occurs, Idaho Transportation
Department will eliminate their access to Meridian Road. Access needs to be
provided to these lots depending on the future use. If they were to develop as
commercial use, access will be provided from the commercial development on the
North and/or access from future commercial development from the south. If the
future development is residential then access would be allowed across Lot 20,
Block 1. In both cases there will be cross access easements across Lots 1 and 2,
Block 1. Once the use has been detennined for both Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, the
developer may then utilize the unused access for development. For example if the
use of Lots 1 and 2 were to become commercial and access to these lots were to
come from the north on Lot 5, Block 1, or some access from the south, then Lot
20, Block 1 would become a buildable lot. Likewise if the use of Lot 1 and 2
became residential use then access would come from the residential street,
Blackspur Way, across Lot 20, Block 1. At that time the access from Lot 5, Block
1 would not be needed and it could become part of a buildable lot in the
commercial development on the north.
Access approval to Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 is required before Lot 5 or Lot 20,
Block 1 could become a buildable lot.
