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 Meridian Planning & Zoning August4,2005 Page 55 of 57 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. Meridian Planning & Zoning August 4, 2005 Page 56 of 57 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? Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Borup: Mr. Chairman, I move we recommend approval to City Council of File No. CUP 05-035, as presented in the staff report dated August 4th and the site plan dated December 20th, 2004, with the following conditions of approval with Exhibit B and also include the memorandum dated August 4th, 2005.
