I was the architect for Susan Clark. I was here on a different matter and I saw she was here. This started out as a simple tenant improvement project in a strip mall and, originally, she was not aware of the complications that she would be involved with when she started this, but it was simply to be a restaurant adjacent to another restaurant and through nobody's fault that's here, she is led through this process that was a surprise. That's the end of my comments. Thank you. Borup: Thank you. Okay. Commissioners? Zaremba: I would comment that I think she's fallen into the process that was intended for full service restaurants, but we have to go through the process anyhow. Borup: And I don't see it much different than a tenant improvement, which we have never seen before. Zaremba: Are we ready to close the Public Hearing? Borup: Yeah. Zaremba: Mr. Chairman, I move we close the Public Hearing on CUP 04-041. Moe: Second. Borup: Motion and second to close the hearing. All in favor? Any opposed? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Zaremba: Mr. Chairman, I move that we forward to the City Council recommending approval of CUP 04-041, to include all staff comments of their memo for the hearing date of November 4th, 2004. Moe: Second. Borup: Motion and second. All in favor? Any opposed? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 10: Public Hearing: CUP 04-043 Request for detailed Conditional Use approval for 7 office buildings in an L-O zone for Sagecrest Subdivision by Sundell Architecture - south of East Overland Road and west side of South Millenium Way: Borup: Thank you. Okay. Our next item is CUP 04-034, request for detailed Conditional Use approval of seven office buildings in an L-O zone for Sagecrest Meridian Planning & Zoning November 4.2004 Page 41 of 64 Subdivision by Sundell Architecture. I'd like to open this hearing and start with the staff report. Hawkins-Clark: Thank you, Chairman Borup, Members of the Commission. This project is located within the Resolution Subdivision, located on the south side of East Overland Road. The Resolution Subdivision is zoned Limited Office, was approved back in 2000, annexed and zoned at that time. Most of the improvements for the subdivision have been done out there. Mountain View High School, of course, is on the south side. Undeveloped land that was a part of Resolution's conceptual planned development and zoned C-N is here on the west side. Other commercial -- commercially zoned land on the north side of Overland there. This Sagecrest Subdivision was already platted. You can see here on the slide -- and basically broke up that large single lot within Resolution into this mixed-use project, which has in both office and high density residential. The portion that you're viewing tonight is -- and, again, here is Millennium Way that comes in off of Overland on the right-hand side of the screen and the portion that you're dealing with tonight is generally in this area right here that fronts on Millennium Way. And this is a blowup, a little different angle of that area. The Conditional Use Permit tonight is required because of the development agreement when this came through, as well as the fact that it was a conceptual planned development and they have to come through with detailed conditional uses and that's what they are proposing to do here. They are showing the curb cut here as it's currently constructed in the middle of the project, which goes through and serves the residential portion in the back. They have -- this existing landscaping on Millennium Way, they are not modifying. The original developer had to do that. So, the main issues tonight are just this new parking area that's shown here. They are showing lots on both sides of this entry drive. A couple of issues that Craig included in his staff report for your consideration. Most of them are fairly standard modifications that I think can be dealt with with just a revised plat before the City Council hearing. Those deal with the setbacks and the parking and the trash enclosures, with just some slight tweaks that staff felt should be made in order to comply with. code. We believe that the site is large enough to -- excuse me -- accommodate some of those modifications and we are supportive of the application, so thank you. Borup: Thank you. Mr. Sundell, anything you'd like to add? Sundell: My name is Larry Sundell, I'm the architect for Russ Honeymiller and Dirk Markham for this project. There were three items that Craig Hood had gone through. The first item, there was a comment about 15-foot parking. When I went through the exact analysis, the specific dimensions with the plat, we were off about a foot. Those changes have been made or are in the process of being made, so that we are able to do the 19 foot -- 25 foot, 19 foot parking that was part of staffs report. In addition, there was a comment about the trash enclosure and, originally, we had thought that we would use the trash enclosure of the existing apartment building, but those are being separated off, so it's a different ownership. So, we have planned for a new -- a new trash enclosure that would be in this area right here. And, let's see, his name was Steve -- Meridian Planning & Zoning November 4. 2004 Page 42 of 64 Hawkins-Clark: Sedlecek? Sundell: Uh? Hawkins-Clark: Sedlecek: Sundell: Bill Gregory was -- has gone on vacation right now and I have talked to Steve about it. Their only comment was that there would be -- it was called a drainage lot and there was a calculation as to percolating water into that area and I talked to the engineers about that and it seems not to be a problem. So, that issue, it's my understanding, has taken -- or is not an issue anymore. The third item was the setbacks of the buildings as it related to the portion where they would abut the apartments and those are being corrected, so that we have the correct 20-foot setback abutting the apartments. There would be the five-foot setback between internal properties of buildings and the five-foot setback on the north and the 15-foot easement on the south. So, it's my understanding we have met all of the requirements and we are in agreement with all the conditions of approval as they are submitted. Borup: Okay. Questions? Any questions from the Commission? Moe: No. You answered everything I wanted to know. Borup: Thank you. We did not have anyone sign up for testimony. Is there anyone here that wanted to come forward? Okay. Thank you. Commissioners? Moe: Mr. Chairman, I move that we close the Public Hearing. Zaremba: Second. Borup: Motion and second to close the hearing. All in favor? Any opposed? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Moe: Mr. Chairman, I move we forward to City Council recommending approval of CUP 04-043 with all -- to include all staff comments and conditions of the memo dated November 4th, 2004, received by the clerk November 2nd, 2004. Zaremba: Second. Borup: Motion and second. All in favor? Any opposed? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
