Canning: Chairman Zaremba, Members of the Commission, staff is actually supposed
to fill in all those dates. There was a little misunderstanding on those things. But that's
why we have got the draft motion for you, so that we can fill in the dates and the site
plan and all those fun things for you.
Newton-Huckabay: Are the dates not -- this looks a lot different. Wasn't there a
received date on the old staff report?
Zaremba: They were stamped by the clerk.
Borup: They were stamped by the clerk.
Canning: Yes. There used to be a report date and, then, a hearing date, but we are
going to be doing new staff reports for hearings. So, the need for the staff report date
isn't as critical as it used to be, because we are going to do a new staff report when it
goes up to City Council that reflects your conditions and findings.
Moe: And have you warned Council that you have a new format?
Canning: Yes. And I have actually warned you a few times, too.
Zaremba: It's so long ago we can't remember.
Moe: Was I not at that meeting?
Item 13:
Public Hearing: MCU 05-001 Request for a Minor Modification of a
Conditional Use Permit to allow model homes to be constructed with zero
lot frontages for Paramount Subdivision No.9 by Paramount
Development, Inc. - south of Chinden Boulevard between North Meridian
Road & North Linder Road:
Zaremba: Okay. Moving right along. I would like to open the Public Hearing for CUP
05-035, related to Devon Park, Fairview Lakes, north of East Fairview Avenue and
between North Meridian Road and North Locust Grove Road and begin with the staff
report.
Canning: Chairman Zaremba, Members of the Commission, I'll make this brief. This is
Devon Park again. We have lost count. The request before you tonight is for a detailed
conditional use approval of a 4,200 square foot restaurant that's shown in the circled
area. You can see a little bit of a close-up there. And the traffic pattern. The portions
of the property that have already received detail are east of Lakes -- North Lakes
Boulevard, but this has received detailed -- all this along North Lakes and, then, along
here, these two buildings on the north side. So, this is the next application. These
three structures have not received detailed approval yet. I had to give the clerk a copy
of a memo dated today and -- regarding an additional item I want you to include. First I
will show you the elevations of the proposed restaurant. There we go. What

happened? Sorry about that. Okay. Here we are. Back again. The staff has
recommended approval of the restaurant, the detailed CU for the restaurant, but I did
just want to highlight the one additional condition that we are asking you to make.
Basically, what it was is when this first came through in 2003, the applicant was not
sure, as part of their conceptual planned development, as to what kind of amenities
would be in this -- the area east of Lakes Boulevard. So, there was a condition put on it
at that time that no more than 50 percent of the building area or 36,300 square feet, be
approved for detailed conditional use approval until we had a concept plan of what kind
of amenity it would have and it talks about common usable areas and/or reorient the
buildings to create a pedestrian-oriented feature for the development. So, with this
approval, if you approve this tonight, it brings the total square footage up to 29,629,
which is of -- it's getting very near that 50 percent. But as you can see over, 50 percent
of the traffic pattern has already been established and the -- the parking areas and
things like that. So, we really feel it's important to add that condition that says, basically,
the next time you come in let us know what that amenity is that you're going to be
providing. And other than that, it's a pretty straight-forward Conditional Use Permit
request.
Zaremba: Okay. Commissioners, any questions? No? I have two small typos to
comment on. On page two of the staff report, Item C, adjacent land use and zoning
number three, identifies the properties to the south as a future phase of Paramount
Subdivision, I think. That's not correct. Something else is south. Commercial
development that already exists. A car wash, car lot, something like that.
Canning: It's actually zoned R-8 immediately across the street.
Newton-Huckabay: It's not Paramount.
Zaremba: But it's not Paramount, that's all I'm saying.
Canning: Correct.
Zaremba: Okay.
Canning: On the west side of Lakes there is commercial, but it's zoned R-8 on the east
side of Lakes.
Zaremba: Okay. Then, in 0, history of previous -- the first sentence, in 2002 the city
approved annexation and zoning of 24. 89 acres to -- and I think that should be C-N,
community neighborhood, followed by C-G.
Canning: Yes, sir.
Zaremba: Those were my two typos. And if nobody else has any questions, we will ask
the applicant to come forward. You have been patient all night, sir.

Hopkins: Thank you. Randy Hopkins, 1390 East Mallory Lane, Meridian, Idaho.
83642. Yes, we are here excited about we have a regional restaurant that's close that
we should be able to announce in the next 30 days for this location. As your staff has
stated, it's pretty straight forward and we are happy to cooperate as we get a little more
square footage and the plans coming together to do the additional pedestrian oriented
amenity and haven't decided exactly what that is, but as this develops, then, we have
some intent to proceed with the other buildings that have been specific CUPs already,
so we are excited to be here and I think this is a good addition to the community. Thank
you. Any questions?
Zaremba: Any questions? Thank you very much. Nobody else has signed up and
there is nobody else in the audience, so I guess we don't need public testimony and a
rebuttal. Commissioners, what's your pleasure?
Newton-Huckabay: My pleasure would be not to make another motion tonight. My last
one was a big flunky.
Borup: It was perfect. We are spreading the wealth tonight. Any further discussion
needed or are we ready to close the Public Hearing?
Borup: I move we close the Public Hearing on -- see, I'm not ready for this either. CUP
05-035.
Rohm: Second.
Zaremba: We have a motion and a second. All in favor say aye. Any opposed?
