Fairview Ave. Preliminary and Final Plat Application Dear City Council: Please accept our application for preliminary and final plat approval for Intermountain Outdoor Subdivision, located at 1375 E. Fairview Avenue in Meridian, Idaho. The Subject site is on the comer of Fairview Avenue and Stonehenge Way, in Section 7, Township 3N, Range 1E. The prope~ is approximately 6 acres and is now partially occupied by the Intermountain Outdoor Sports retail store. The purpose of the plat application is to subdivide the property into 4 parcels. The existing store will remain and the now empty lot to the west will be divided into 3 lots for commercial use. The property is within the Meridian City Limits and the zoning of Commercial - General (C- G) will not change. The new lot for the store will be 3.65 acres. The 3 new lots will range in size from .69 acres to .83 acres. To eliminate the need for additional driveways, all the lots will be accessed from the existing drives on Fairview and Stonehenge. A variance request is also being submitted to waive the perimeter landscaping that would prohibit this cross access. The variance will also allow cross parking which allows the land set aside for parking to be utilized more efficiently. In addition, a waiver for pressurized irrigation is requested so that the existing landscaping can continue to use the existing irrigation system using municipal water. The subdivision of the subject property will allow the development of up to 3 commercial enterprises. The development features for the site include the existing landscaping along the frontages of Fairview and Stonehenge. Water, sewer and irrigation are already available to the lots with the minor extension of the sewer trunk line. Street right-of- ways are already dedicated and curb has been constructed on Stonehenge. The Intermountain Outdoor Subdivision meets the intent of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. The preliminary and final plats have been prepared in accordance with the Meridian subdivision standards. We look forward to working with you and your staff on the approVal of this quality commercial subdivision in Meridian. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 322-8992 or at jsuggs(~hubble-eng.com. Thank you in advance for your kind consideration of our application. Sincerely, Hubble Engineering, Inc. HUBBLE ENGINEERING, INC. 701 S. Allen St., Suite 102 · Meridian, ID 83642 208/322-8992 , Fax 208/378-0329 January 14, 2002 Meridian City Council City of Meridian 33 East Idaho Meridian, ID 83642 Subject: Intermountain Outdoor Subdivision 1375 E. Fairview Avenue Variance Request Waiver Request Dear City Council: On behalf of our client, Mr. Gerry Sweet at Intermountain Outdoor Sports, we are submitting preliminary and final plats for the subdivision of the property at 1375 E. Fairview Avenue. In accord with the requirements of the Meridian Subdivision Ordinance we are also requesting a variance to the landscaping requirements for the preliminary and final plats. The variance is being requested due to the adverse impact that meeting the ordinance requirements would have on the existing Intermountain Outdoor Sports retail store located at the site. In addition, we request a waiver of the requirement for pressure irrigation where a water fight is established. As background, the plat request is for the purpose of subdividing the property to sell the unused lot adjacem to the existing Intermountain Outdoor Sports Store at the comer of Fairview Avenue and Stonehenge Way. This simple subdivision of property will provide for the development of one to three commercial businesses at that comer. Such development will be an asset to the City of Meridian and her citizens. The plat application includes requirements that a new landscaping buffer be built along the Falrview Avenue frontage of the existing Intermountain Outdoer Sports Store. The current landscape ordinance requires a 35-foot landscape buffer be located adjacent to and outside the right-of-way. A landscape buffer already exists along the Fairview Avenue frontage. It is constructed in a slight berm, six feet wide, and heavily landscaped with seven 6-inch Caliper trees spaced at 35 feet on center. There are approximately 30 mature shrubs intermingled with the trees. The landscaping was installed when the Intennountain Outdoor Sports Store was constructed. The current landscape ordinance would require this mature landscaping to be destroyed. The new wider buffer would necessitate the removal of au entire row of paved parking spaces, including curbing, in front of the existing StOre. The reduced parking would then put the existing retail store in non-compliauce with the Meridian parking ordinance. We are asking for a variance that the requirement for a landscape buffer be satisfied with the e:~isting mature landscaping located on the portion of the site in front of the existing store. The mature landscaping continues along the Fairview Avenue frontage adjacent to the empty lot. This landscaping then continues south along the entire frontage of Stonehenge Way. Stonehenge is a local street. The landscaping was installed in 1992 for the Danbury subdivision that was developed to the south. We are requesting a variance to the landscape guidelines that would require that a new landscape buffer be installed and put in a common lot. The existing landscaping includes nine 2-8 inch caliper trees, plus various shrubs and is adequate for the site. In addition, the existing landscaping can be used as a common theme for the entire site and landscape plans will be designed and reviewed by Design Review during the development of each of the new commercial lots. The existing landscaping does not have to be located in a common lot to be maintained. The landscaping can be located in an easement as shown on the preliminary plat and will · be maintained by a property owners association. Maintenance can be outlined in CC and R's that can be submitted to the City prior to signature on the final plat. The requirement that the landscape buffer be put in a common lot would also reduce' the number of buildable lots that we can subdivide using this process. Perimeter landscaping around each new lot would also be required with the subdivision of the property. Such landscaping will additionally impact parking by requiring the removal of 20 parking spaces along the west side of the existing building. Perimeter landscaping will also preclude cross access between the parcels that is being encouraged by the city, as is the shared driveway on Fairview Avenue. We are asking for a variance that the perimeter landscaping requirement be waived between the existing building lot and each of the 3 new lots. The existing landscaped areas are currently irrigated by an approved system using municipal water. This irrigation system serves the landscape planting along Fairview Avenue and Stonehenge Way. The system is adequate and should not be replaced with a pressure irrigation system. We are asking that the requirement for a pressure irrigation system be waived for this subdivision. We respectfully request that the above described variances and waiver be granted for the simple subdivision of this commercial property. The new commercial properties will provide convenient and accessible services to residents and an economic asset to the City. Thank you in advance for you consideration of our request.
