Borup: Okay. Item of minutes for November 18th.
Zaremba: I have one very small comment. On page 43, the second time that I speak, I
am making a motion about the third line of that motion it says to - all staff comments of
their memo for the hearing date November 18th, received by the City Council, that word
should be clerk. I mayor may not have said Council, but it would be far clearer and the
intent is that it should be the word clerk. Thafs the only comment I have.
Borup: Okay.
Zaremba: Mr. Chairman, I move we approve the minutes of the meeting of November
18th, 2004, with the one amendment.
Rohm: Second.
Borup: Motion and second. AU in favor? Any opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE ABSENT.
Item 4:
Recommendation: VAC 04-009 Request for Vacation of existing 20-foot
right of way south of the Milk Lateral and vacation of portions of East
Granger Street within Redfeather Estates Subdivision by Packard
Estates Development, LLC - south of East Ustick Road and east of Duane
Drive:
Borup: Okay. Our next item is not a Public Hearing, ifs a recommendation in file
number VAC 04-009. This is a request for a vacation of existing 20-foot right of way
along the Milk Lateral and portions of Granger Street within Redfeather Subdivision by
Packard Estates. I'd like to start with the staff report.
Hawkins-Clark: Thank you, Chairman Borup, Members of the Commission. As you can
probably tell we are having a little problem with the overhead tonight, so I will just go
ahead and reference your hard copies. Staff did issue a staff report to you that
addressed the applicanfs request for the vacation. There is two - two general areas of
this subdivision where they are asking for vacation of existing right of way. One of them
is along the west boundary and ifs a shared right of way with the Perkins Brown Lateral
and - I'm sorry, the Perkins Brown Subdivision to the west and, then, the other one is
Granger Drive and if you're looking at the reduced version of the plat that was submitted
with their application, these are below the halfway point. The Milk Lateral is shown
there and both of these are on the southern half of the subdivision, so - and staff did
review this request. Our only condition that we recommended was that they get final
approval through Ada County Highway District for either vacating or exchanging the
right of way before the city engineer signs the plat. So, we recommend approval.
Borup: Comments from any of the Commissioners?

Zaremba: Sometimes with these applications we actually have letters from those that
are interested in the easement already giving them up. Do you have any anticipation of
this being a problem or is it likely to happen?
Hawkins-Clark: No, Commissioner Zaremba, the - there is no easement - in this case
it is right of way thafs owned by the highway district. They are the sole --
Zaremba: They'll give it up?
Hawkins-Clark: Yes, they are. I think their staff report for Redfeather Estates -
actually, even, you know, conditioned that they needed to get this taken care of, so--
Zaremba: Mr. Chair, I -
Borup: Your staff report said that was one of the original conditions of the city.
Zaremba: Okay. But I knew it wasn't the city, I was just confirming that ACHD agreed
with it. In that case, Mr. Chairman, I move that we forward to the City Council
recommending approval of VAC 04-009, to include all staff comments of their memo for
the hearing date December 16th, received by the city clerk December 14th, 2004.
Mae: Second.
Borup: Motion and second. All in favor? Any opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE ABSENT.

C-C zone for Kinetico Quality Systems of Treasure Valley by Irma Jean

rezone, 04-018, request for rezone of .74 acres from L-O to C-C zone for Kinetico
Quality Systems. I'd like to open the hearing at this time and start with the staff report.
Wilson: Chairman Borup, Members of the Commission, the application before you is for
Kinetico Quality Systems of the Treasure Valley, 544 West Cherry Lane, an application
to rezone .74 acres from limited office to commercial, to the Community Business,
which is the C-C zone. The applicant is proposing to use the existing residence on the
property and convert it into a retail- some retail, some service business. The applicant
has stated that it's a neighborhood friendly business that is retail in nature, but has
minimal site visits by customers. Most of the business activity takes place in a
customer's home, with the business site used for supporting office activity, light retail of
accessory products and storage of the product as installed into the customers' homes.
Bring up the site plan here. It looks like it didn't make it into the presentation. This is a
site plan of the property with parking for customers in the front and, then, parking in the
