SUBJECT: H-2019-0118
Hathaway
LOCATION: 2198 & 2262 E. Franklin Rd.
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Request to vacate the southern 10 feet of the 15-foot wide landscape and irrigation easement depicted
on the plat along the northern boundary of Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, Whitehawk Subdivision (see
Section V.A).
II. SUMMARY OF REPORT
A. Applicant/Owner:
Kurth Hathaway, Hathaway Development, LLC – 1923 Castelli Dr., Idaho Falls, ID 83401
B. Representative:
Derritt Kerner, Rock Solid Civil – 270 N. 27th St., Boise, ID 83702
III. STAFF ANALYSIS
The 10-foot wide easement proposed to be vacated consists of a dedicated buffer for landscaping and
irrigation (see Section V.C).
The landscape buffer was required with the previous conditional use permit/planned development
(CUP-03-066) under Meridian City Code (MCC) 12-13-12-2, which required a buffer to be provided
on C-G zoned property when a buffer was not in existence on adjacent I-L zoned property; the current
City Code (i.e. Unified Development Code) does not require such. There is no existing landscaping
within the easement area proposed to be vacated.
The portion of the irrigation easement proposed to be vacated does not contain any irrigation facilities
as documented by a letter from Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District, the easement holder (see Section
V.D).

construct a 20,000 square foot flex space warehouse shell with an associated drive-aisle and parking on
the subject property 5 feet from the northern property line (see Section V.B).
IV. DECISION
A. Staff:
Staff recommends approval of the vacation of easement request as proposed by the Applicant.
