So, with that I will stand for any questions or- Zaremba: Commissioners, any questions? Rohm: I think you're doing a great job. Sikes: I have seen your job and I don't want it. I can also saw you don't want my job either. Zaremba: That was very helpful and I do appreciate it. You have answered all of my questions before I asked them and I can see that there is a massive planning effort going on there as well and you made the point right at the end the objective is to preserve the possibility to expand later into the -- I know you don't build everything today, because you don't need it today, but the planning to be able to build it later and not have road blocks, I really appreciate that. Thank you very much. Sikes: And thank you very much. Moe: Thank you. Just one observation. For you to actually answer all his questions before he asks, that's a great deal. Item 5: Continued Recommendation from September 1, 2005: VAC 05-011 Request for a Vacation of Irrigation Easements for Bonito Subdivision by Dave Evans Construction - 3041 East Copper Point Drive: Zaremba: Thanks. All right. We are ready for the next item and I will open the continued recommendation for V AC 05-011 relating to Bonito Subdivision and this is not a Public Hearing, we will have a briefing from the staff and, then, comments among ourselves and, then, make our recommendation to City Council. Guenther: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Bonito vacation, as I stated before, was tabled so that it could allow staff to get the right information. The Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District's attorney had signed a relinquishment and sent it over to Public Works and Planning Department did not receive a copy. But we did receive a copy from the Nampa-Meridian Irrigation superintendent saying they needed the easement. So, this has been clarified and cleared up. If you notice the easement has just been relocated, so they do have access to their facility. Everything has been taken care of as far as we have seen. Public Works has agreed to this and we are just looking for a recommendation for approval of this to send onto City Council. Zaremba: Commissioners? Meridian Planning & Zoning September 15, 2005 Page 8 of 57 Moe: I have no questions. I Zaremba: Okay. In that case we ready for a motion. Moe: Mr. Chairman? Zaremba: Commissioner Moe. Moe: I move that we recommend approval to City Council of file number V AC 05-012 as presented in the staff report for the hearing date of September 15th, 2005. Borup: Second. Zaremba: We have a motion and a second. All in favor say aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. ONE ABSENT. Item 6: Continued Recommendation from September 1, 2005: V AC 05-014 Request to Vacate Ada County Highway District Right-of-Way for Dorado Subdivision by W. H. Moore - northwest corner of Eagle Road and Overland Road: Zaremba: Next is also a continued recommendation and this is V AC 05-014 relating to Dorado Subdivision. Guenther: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. The Dorado vacation is for vacation of easement on Eagle and Overland Roads. This show the proposed Dorado Subdivision, which would acquire this right of way for their future expansion. There has been detailed and very strenuous discussions between ITD and ACHD that the city does not have an opinion about, because it's -- the deal is between the two agencies. We tried to just basically wait until all the dust had settled in order to make this recommendation. The city's recommendation is let both the agencies work it out, so we are going to recommend approval based on the fact that ACHD and ITD have come -- have appeared to come to a resolution, they just need to finish working some situations out between the two agencies and so we are just looking to forward this on with a recommendation of approval. Zaremba: Would it be appropriate to add a condition that at this stage we would be willing to recommend approval, but that it needs to be resolved before it actually goes before the City Council? Guenther: This is just a recommendation - Zaremba: Or is that the way it's going to happen?
