We are up to Item 10. I will open the Public Hearing for PP 05-042 for ~-- Weed and Pest Control Campus Subdivision by Ada County. And we will begin with the --- ------ _staff report. -. Guenther: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. The Weed and Pest Control Campus Subdivision is a mouthful and it's also located over off of Pine Street and just north of the Union Pacific Railroad. The intersection here -- this is Commercial. ACHD does have a portion of Commercial that extends through this property, that comes through to the adjacent property there. There is two significant features on this site. One is the Five Mile Creek, which is the significant feature, with a small flood plane in that area. The other feature is the Gerber Lateral, which it comes down through on the Union Pacific Railroad. The conditions of approval do state that the applicant should work with Nampa-Meridian in order determine if they will be tiled or not. Staff is comfortable with either leaving them open or having them tiled based on that and that's, essentially, the way that it's worded. The Comp Plan also calls for this to be mixed use regional -- or mixed use community and with that there is another site specific condition of approval to have all uses on the site come back and be heard as conditional uses. That is an underlying issue that we have with that zone, with all mixed~use comprehensive designations. Also with the comprehensive designation there is planned a multi~use pathway along the Five Mile Creek system. In past developments and past approvals this board and ~~ or this Commission and the City Council have realigned a lot of different issues, so that the pathway should be included on Pine Street as bike paths in both directions, as well as on Locust Grove in both directions. If you zoom this out larger, there is no pathways in this area to connect to and, therefore, there would be no sense of putting a pathway in, as well as Locust Grove is going to be ~- Locust Grove Road will be the crossing of Interstate 1-84 for the pathway system, which, obviously, will be on the road anyhow. So, the pathway system should be able to connect through here, it will just be on the road at -- in this location, so the applicant would not be required to do any multi-use pathways. When you look at the site, there is three lots on this approximate ten and a half ~~ or 10.8 acres. With that Commercial is outlined here, but with the landscape plan the applicant has submitted there was not a ten foot landscape buffer included on there. That would need to be amended prior to final plat. And staff is comfortable with that actually being installed upon the certificate of zoning compliance approval, rather than having that installed at the final plat stage as normal landscape buffers are. That is the same with the landscape buffer on the Union Pacific Railroad. With that, I believe I have addressed all the conditions that are significant and I will stand for questions. Zaremba: Commissioners, any questions? Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission October 6,2005 Page 19 of 85 Moe: No. Newton-Huckabay: I have none. Zaremba: Okay. Thank you. We are ready for the applicant to come forward, please. Fluke: Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, thank you. My name is Daren Fluke, JUB Engineers, 250 South Beachwood in Boise. I think Joe's done a good job of going through the particulars this project. Ada County does own the site and they do intend to develop it with uses strictly for the county. The first use will be the Weed and Pest Control Campus, oddly enough. Some of you may realize that they have sold their building over -- over here on Meridian Road and need a new place to go and this will be it. It is slated to go on Lot No. 2 -~ I guess that's Lot No.3 right north of the new road, so you will see landscaping at that time along that extension of Commercial Court. You will see the conditional use application in about a month, probably, for that use. So, with that I'll just keep it short and sweet and if you have any questions I'll take those now. Moe: Do you agree to all the conditions on the staff report? Fluke: We do. Yeah. Moe: Okay. Zaremba: My comment would be that this property has come before us twice before trying to convert it to a residential use and both times I believe we have recommended denial. I personally am much happier to see this application come for keeping it an I-L and developing it as I-L. I think that's evidenced by the fact that, apparently, we don't have any of the neighbors here to complain about the change. We have no one else signed up to speak. So, personal opinion is I appreciate this new application. Commissioners? Okay. We did not have anybody signed up, but if -- again, if anybody is here that cares to make a comment. I see nobody moving, so we will consider the subject thoroughly discussed. Commissioners? Moe: Mr. Chairman, I move that we close the Public Hearing on PP 05-042. Borup: Second. Zaremba: We have a motion and a second. All in favor say aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Moe: Mr. Chairman? Zaremba: Commissioner Moe. Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission October 6,2005 Page 20 of 85 Moe: I move to recommend approval to the City Council of file number PP 05-042, as presented in the staff report, dated October 6th, 2005, and the preliminary plat dated August 3rd, 2005, with the conditions as noted. Rohm: Second. Zaremba: We have a motion and a second. All in favor say aye. Anyopposed? That motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 11: Item 12.

We will now open the public hearings for AZ 05-040, PP 05-039, PP 05-040 and CUP 05-041, all relating to Volterra Subdivision by Primeland Development. And, once again, we will begin with the staff report. Hood: Thank you, Mr. Chair, Members of the Commission. This is just your standard 300 lot ~~ or 900 lot, 300 acre subdivision. I'm going to try to go ahead and touch on most of the points. If I miss something, I will try to catch up at the end. I have got some notes here, but it is a large site, so I'm going to try. This is a 312.67-acre annexation
