R~r- ,,.., E i V E D APR 0 5 ADA COUNTY DEVELOPMENT ~ERVIOE$ Dear Commissioners, I am the representative for Mr. Don Weber and Christian Family Matters, Inc. (hereinafter collectively Weber). This Letter of Intent is written on their behalf supporting their request for a conditional use permit to conduct a bible fellowship on the above referenced Property (Property). Ownership: The Penfield Family Trust owns The Property. A copy of the Penfield Trust deed is attached as Exhibit 1. The Trustees for the Trust are Boyd E. and Dawn Penfield. A copy of the Trust is attached as Exhibit 2. The Property is being sold under contract to Mr. Don Weber who in turn will be leasing it to Christian Family Matters, Inc. The Penfield's have executed a letter of consent for the application, the original of which is attached as Exhibit 3. Penfields have also executed the applications for the conditional use penuit and the master site plan. Description and Location of Property: The Propert) consists of approximately four and two-thirds (4.68) acres. It is located on the south side of Ove~ land Road approximately 0.2s of a mile east of Linder Road. Its location and present configuration are illustrated in the Property Address Exhibit, attached as both a full-scale drawing and a reduced 8 ½ x 11. Exhibit 4 also includes a copy of the vicinity map provided by Ada County Staff. The parcel is relatively flat and slopes gradually from north to south. The Property presently contains the existing residence, associated garage and a barn. There is a pond in front of the residence and the bulk of the ground lies between the residence and Overland Road as illustrated on Exhibit 4. Exhibit 4 also includes aerial photo photographs of the Property with its location and configuration marked in yellow. Proposed Uses: Weber proposes to use the Pror~erty for a bible-fellowship as outlined in the letter from Mr. Dana Armstrong, Board of Director;, CI~ 'istian Family Matters, Inc., attached as Exhibit 5. The fellowship would meet out of doors in the rear of the Property during good weather. The April 5, 2002 Page 2 general location of the outdoor fellowship is illustrated on the site plan. If the church use is approved, Weber would apply for a building permit to improve the existing barn so that the fellowship could utilize it during inclement weather. There would be no use of the existing septic system by the fellowship without complying with any requirements for upgrading the system required by Central District Health. Rather, as outlined below in Domestic Water and Sewer/Central District Health, the fellowship would utilize portable sanitation units for sewage disposal. No pressurized water would be provided to the barn as per the requirements of Central DiStrict Health. In addition, as outlined the Mr. Armstrong's letter, a caretaker family and youth leadership individuals would utilize the residence and provide maintenance of the property as well as utilize the current set-up for community gardening and livestock projects, fitting well with the existing use of the Property. This group would fit into the definition of Family as provided in (B), that is and residence would be utilized as a single unit with not more than 10 unrelated people. Zoning/City of Meridian Impact Area: The Property is currently zoned Ada County-RUT. A bible- fellowship (church) would require a conditional use permit. The Property is located in the City of Meridian Impact Area, immediately south of the City limits, which is Overland Road. The property immediately to the north on Overland Road is currently zoned City of Meridian Industrial. The present comprehensive plan designation for the Property is single-family residential (units per acre are not specified according to staff at the City of Meridian). According to Meridian Staff, the City of Meridian is revising its comprehensive plar and. vn the proposed new comprehensive plan map, projects the use of this Property as medium density residential (3-8 DU per acre densities) and would allow zoning designations ranging from R-3 to R-8. R-8 would allow multi-family residential. The intersection of Linder Road and Overland (approximately ¼ mile west) is projected as neighborhood commercial. Churches are permitted by conditional use permit in R-8 and R- 15 zones. Weber previously contacted the City of Meridian regarding annexation into the City. However, City Staff did not feel at that time that annexation would be approved because municipal sewer and water would not be available in the near future. Presently, the closest sewer and water is at the Western Electronics facility, but is serviced by a lift station that is at a higher elevation than the Property. Schools: The Property is located within the Meridian School District. There should be minimal impact on the schools from the use as a bible fellowship with the associated residential use. Domestic Water and Sewer/Southwest District Hem:h: Until annexation or sewer/water availability, the Property would continue to be served by indivie ~al domestic well and septic system. Individual wells and septic systems are typical for the area. Weber contacted Southwest District Health Department regarding the proposed use for the bible fellowship and were provided with a letter indicating approval of the proposed "portable sanitation units for sewage disposal. See Exhibit 6. Weber will have the portable sanitation units serviced weekly to avoid any problems with odors or insects. RECEIVED APR 0 5 2002 April 5, 2002 Page 3 Commercial Activities: Property. There are presently no .ommercial activities being performed on the Access/ACHD: The access to the Property is from Overland Road utilizing a shared thirty (30) foot apron. Weber met with ACHD to review the site as shown in Exhibit 4. ACHD indicated that it could not provide a letter at this time, but that any concerns that it would have would be addressed if Weber would agree to dedicate additional right of way along Overland, construct a concrete sidewalk along Overland and pave the shared apron with asphak. Weber concurs with these requirements and anticipates that the County will receive a letter indicating such requirements from ACHD. The requested improvements are illustrated in Exhibit 4. Irrigation and Drainage: There will be no change in the current irrigation and drainage. The property has two (2) wells and owns surface water shares from Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District for 4.59 acres. As noted above, the total acreage of the Property is 4.68 acres. One of the wells may be used in the future for fn'e suppression unti! such time as municipal water is available from the City of Meridian. : Utilities: Utilities are akeady provided to the Property. Fire District Approval: Weber also met with Assistant Chief Joe Silva at the Meridian Fire District regarding review and approval of emergency access. Chief Silva requested that the existing roadway be widened and additional parking be provided. He reviewed the proposed engine "turnaround" (actually a hammerhead) and indicated his verbal approval. In addition, he concurred with the emergency vehicle use of the existing circular drive to the immediate north of the residence. His requests are reflected on Exhibit 4. It is Weber's understanding that Meridian will provide a letter regarding emergency access approval. Traffic: There should be no impact to existing uses and property values. The present residential use would continue as would the gardening and small ac. reage livestock projects compatible with the existing neighboring properties. The property immediately to the north is zoned industrial and Overland Road is will be widened to accon'n'nodate increased industrial traffic. ACHD had no concerns about the projected traffic associated witk the fellowship. As noted in Mr. Armstrong's letter, there will be an average of fifty (50) to sixty (60) automobiles parked on the property in approved parking areas once a week or in association with special events. This Property could be developed with up to eight (8) dwellings per acre with approximately ten (10) vehicle trips a day associated with such a development, the highest number of vehicle trips per day associated with the fellowship [one day a week at 50-60 automobiles x 2 (entry and exit) or 120 trips maximum] would be less than the vehicle traffic associated with new residential development. Neighborhood Meeting: A neighborhood meeting was held Saturday, March 16 at the Property. County Staff provided the names of the respective neighbors who were notified by mail. A copy of the address list and the letter provided to the neighbors is attached as Exhibit 7. The certification haS already been provided to the County. Conclusion: The request for a conditional use permit for the use of the Property for the bibleE C E I V E D APR 0 5 2902 April 5, 2002 Page 4 fellowship would not be in conflict with either Ada County or Meridian's Comprehensive Plan. There will be no unreasonable burden posed on public services and the project will be funded with private money. There will be no injury to adjacent property and the proposed use is not in conflict with the existing neighborhood. Mr. Weber and Christian Family Matters, Inc. respectfully request your approval of this application. V7 truly yours, Susan Wildwood Enclosures cc: Mr. and Mrs. Penfield; Mr. Don Weber, Mr. Dana Armstrong. RECEIVED APR 0 5 (]02 DEVELOPMZNT SEFiV!(: ES February 23, 2002 Ada County Development Services 200 West Front Street Boise, ID 83702 Dear Ada County Development: Christian Family Matters, Inc. is a not-for-profit Church organization functioning in the greater Treasure Valley area with an interest in the property at 1345 W. Overland, Meridian, ID. We feel that this nearly 5 acres would be ideally suited for the carrying out of some of our goals. On the back (south) end of the property, in the secluded lawn area, Christian Family Matters, Inc. would like to conduct a weekly Sunday AM Outdoor Bible Fellowship. We have found that we can successfully meet outdoors from approximately May 1 to November 1 most years. We would like to bring the existing barn, also located on the south end of the property, up to code in order to be able to conduct our Sunday AM Bible Fellowship within the barn during the winter months, which would be approximately November 1 to May 1 most years. Presently about 100-120 people attend our Sunday AM Fellowship and travel to and from the fellowship in 50-60 automobiles. There is ample parking space to adequately handle our parking needs located directly in front (north) of the home and around and south of the barn. Obviously, this volume of parking would occur normally one time per week, Sundays, generally from around 9:00 AM to around 1:00 PM. Until it becomes available to hook up to city sewer we woUld like to station Porta-Johns behind the barn in order to provide restroom facilities for the Sunday AM Fellowships and for other occasions when people might gather on the property. This way we will not impact the septic system or the water wells any more than their present intended use. When it becomes available to hook up to city sewer we would plan to hook up and, afterwards, provide formal restrooms in or near the barn. We would like to assign a family of caretakers to live in the home located on the property. This family would be composed of people from our own fellowship and would oversee the property's use and watch over the property. We would also like to house several young people personally selected as a part of our Leadership Training Program to live in the attached apartment. Together with the caretakers, these Leadership Trainees would be responsible for maintenance indoors and out, organizing before fellowship EXHIBIT CHRISTIAN FAMILY MATTERS, INC. · PMB 347 · 10400 OVERLAND RD. · BOISE, IDAHO 83709-1449 · USA ~ (208) 362-6358 · FAX (208) 362-8626 Ada County Development Services February 23, 2002 Page 2 meetings, hosting fellowship meetings, coordinating yard and garden work and general upkeep. On the front end (north) of the property, we would like to utilize the land for some community gardening and live stock projects.
