HomeMy WebLinkAboutJune 16, 2005 P&Z Minutes Meridian Planning & Zoning June 16,2005 Page 71 of 93 MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Zaremba: Before you make the motion I would make one comment. On page two of the staff report, the paragraph that begins location, it's say the subject site is located on the southwest corner, that should be northwest corner. It did say it correctly other places. Guenther: Which page was that, Mr. Commissioner? Zaremba: Just a small typo. Guenther: Which page was that, please? Zaremba: This is page two, the big -- big title is location and it says the subject site is located on the -- it should be northwest corner. Just a typo. As I say, it was correctly identified other places. Rohm: Mr. Chairman? Zaremba: Commissioner Rohm. Rohm: I move that we forward onto City Council recommending approval of AZ 05-023, to include all staff comments received June 10th, 2005, for the hearing date June 19th, 2005. End of motion. Moe: June 16th? Rohm: 16th. Moe: I will second that. Zaremba: We have a motion and a second. All in favor say aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. Thank you. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 12: Public Hearing: PFP 05-002 Request for Preliminary / Final Plat approval for three building lots on 5.93 acres for Monica Subdivision by B2 Investments, LLC - north of West Franklin Road and west of North Linder Road: Zaremba: Okay. Item 12. I'll the open Public Hearing for PFP 05-002 and this relates to Monica subdivision, north of West Franklin Road and west of North Linder Road and we will begin with the staff report. Meridian Planning & Zoning June 16, 2005 Page 72 of 93 Wilson: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. The application before you is for Monica Subdivision. It is for three building lots in the I-L zone and as such, being under four lots, is eligible for the preliminary and final plat process, meaning that it receives preliminary plat approval and final plat approval at the same time. So, this is the only time you, as a Commission, will -- well, I guess you wouldn't see it as a final plat anyway, that would be Council, so that doesn't change a whole lot from your standpoint. This site is on off of the west side of Linder, north of Franklin. There is a typo in the staff report that's saying that the site consists of 5.93 acres. It's, actually, closer to 3.6. The applicant originally submitted, including, if you can see the black outline here, it was originally thought by staff that they did need to include this small portion here, but they were able to prove through ownership records that that was legally split off and, then, they didn't modify the number 5.93 in their application, so this is actually closer to 3.6, if my addition is correct. It is an L-shape or pork chop shape, if you will, with the narrow portion out there on Linder and, then, extending back into the site. To the west there are -- there is an existing building here with some businesses in it. I think one is A&A Securities and there is a couple of others. To the north of this site on Linder Road is storage cubbies and a couple of other continuing further north there are more businesses. Across the road -- across Linder to the east is an Ada County sub with some one-acre lots and some rural residences. And, then, to the west is a large vacant light industrial parcel. Just a few things to bring up on this application. We have required a cross-access agreement to the -- to Lots 2 and 3, because this will be a drive aisle for access to those two lots, so that they will be required to create that cross- access agreement on the face of the plat. And, then, the fire department has -- they have provided a permanent fire turnaround that meets the fire department standards back there in order to gain fire access for these two buildings. We have asked that they provide the required street buffer along Linder Road of 25 feet and I think that the landscape plan is in here. Along Linder Road there is a required 25-foot landscape buffer. We have asked that they place that in an easement, which is a standard condition. And, then, also it did in the staff report ask the applicant to clarify at the hearing the use of the rear area and what the surface materials would be. I did confirm with the engineer that that will be paved in the rear of the building there. Staff's concern and our policy is that anywhere with vehicular access does need to be paved for dust abatement reasons, but I did confirm that that will be paved. One thing that wasn't in the staff report that was recently brought up on receiving the ACHD report is ACHD has asked them to move the driveway. Currently, it's depicted approximately seven feet north of the south property line. ACHD has requested 37 feet north. I will let the applicant address how that changes their lot configuration and building configuration and how significant of changes that is going to require. It appears workable from my standpoint, but I'm not an engineer, so won't comment beyond that. And with that I think at this point I'll stand for questions. Zaremba: Commissioners, any questions? All right. Thank you. We are ready for the applicant, then, please. Jones: Chad Jones, B&A Engineers, 5505 West Franklin Road. For the most part we are in agreement with everything that staff has brought up. I have taken the opportunity Meridian Planning & Zoning June 16, 2005 Page 73 of 93 to sit down with the staff at ACHD to discuss that approach at great length. We feel that we can move that, really, without much of a problem at all. If you will notice we have -- we have that 25 feet of landscape to help transition the vehicular access and exit off of the lot. What it will ultimately mean is there is one, two, three -- six spaces right in there. Zaremba: There should be a pointer on the podium. Jones: Oh, I'm sorry. Zaremba: Sort of connect the dots over there. Thank you. Jones: Right there. And what's going to happen is this approach, when moved up into this area, it will be a stacking distance of about 30 feet and, then, transition back down to give that -- for the most part it will be for truck access for deliveries to this loading dock area. And for the employee parking area it would generally be in this area. We don't think it's going to really impede anything, really, up in here. Zaremba: So, you can rearrange the parking lot a little bit, you don't have to touch the buildings or anything else? Jones: It's not a big deal. If anything -- if anything, it's going to allow us a little bit of space right in here to maybe collect some on-site drainage and maybe provide some solutions that way. The site lends itself naturally for that condition, so, if anything, it will just kind of help us a little bit. We don't have any objection to it at all. Zaremba: Okay. Commissioners, any other questions? Borup: Just one. You had stated you agreed with the most part on the staff's recommendation. So, was there something you did not agree with? Jones: No. Borup: Okay. Jones: Only the time. Borup: You meant all, then. Wilson: Mr. Chairman? Zaremba: Yes. Wilson: Just one quick point that Brad was kind enough to bring up. The specific parking and building layout aren't really plat issues. I mean we do bring them up and discuss them -- discuss them at this stage, but they aren't really issues for approval at Meridian Planning & Zoning June 16, 2005 Page 74 of 93 the time of the plat. They will be approved with subsequent -- with the CZC applications for the buildings, so just an FYI. Zaremba: Thank you. Wilson: But it is worth discussing. Zaremba: Okay. Patrick Minegar. Okay. From the audience he says he doesn't need to add anything. He's marked as for on the speaker's list. That was the whole list. Anybody else care to testify on this one? All right. Thank you. Then, we don't need any rebuttal. Commissioners? Moe: I move that we close the Public Hearing on PFP 05-002. Rohm: Second. Zaremba: We have a motion and a second. All in favor say aye. Anyopposed? That motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Moe: Mr. Chairman? Zaremba: Commissioner Moe. Moe: I move that we forward onto City Council approving PFP 05-002, to include all staff comments of the hearing date of June 16th, 2005, received by the clerk's office June 10th, 2005. Borup: Second. Zaremba: We have a motion and a second. All in favor say aye. Any opposed? That motion also carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Zaremba: And we've had a request to take another short break. Let's take about five minutes and we will reconvene.
