ITEM #6 CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A GROUP DAYCARE OF 6-12 CHILDREN BY VOANNA C. WARD d/b/a/ VO'S DAYCARE---924 E. 4TH STREET: Corrie: This is a continued public hearing and I will open up the continued public hearing. We will have comments from staff to kind of get us back up to where we are here on this. Shari. Stiles: Mr. Mayor and council, I believe that the main reason that this was continued was so that the fire chief could look into the code requirements. They haven't had any information from here one way or the other. I don't know if the applicant has any information on that. Corrie: Ok. 8 8 Meridian City Council Meeting July20,1999 Page12 Ward: Voanna Ward, 924 E. 4th. I talked to, I believe his name is Kenny, the Fire Marshall, and he said there was a question of whether my doors need to swing out and he said when if I was going to have 30-50 children then I would need to have the doors swinging out. And there was a question about the fire wall and that fell under the building and I could never get a hold of someone and talk to them about that. I was trying to get a hold of Ken Thompson, he's the one who built the house, to see if he'd built one in, but the thing is that we have hurricane strips on our roof, so he really really really built that house so nothing could happen to it. Also I went through all the inspections from Health and Welfare. They came out to my home and they looked at everything and basically I have a license, but it won't be final until this hearing is over and I have the Fire Marshall come out, if I was approved. Corrie: Any questions from council? Anderson: I have none. Corrie: Ok. (Inaudible) public hearing. Kenny do you have any comment on the request about the walls and fire doors? Bowers: Mayor Corrie and council, I went by and looked at the house and I talked with Daunt, the building inspector from the building department. The only wall that uniform fire code recognizes is a four-hour fire wall so that's completely out of our hands at this time on the fire wall. Now the exits that I had talked about last time, as councilman Keith Bird had mentioned, the doors have to swing out. That's only when there's an occupancy of 50 or more on that so we're ok there. And she doesn't have any exits out toward the back part where there's only three foot so we wouldn't be exiting out that way anyhow. Bird: Ok. Mr. Mayor? Corrie: Mr. Bird. Bird: I've got a question for Kenny. Then you're telling me then that the only fire wall that we recognize is a four-hour fire wall in the city of Meridian? Bowers: In the uniform fire code. Bird: How about the building code? Bowers: Now the building code does recognize, I believe something. . 8 8 Meridian City Council Meeting July 20, 1999 Page13 Bird: And isn't there something that states that if you're within 5 foot of the property line you have to be a fire (inaudible) where a fire can't jump and go out to the other place or the other place can't come to you? Bowers: I had talked to Daunt that day and he was going to go run by the house and check it and see what he was going to recommend on this. The lady had called me and I had asked her to call Daunt to get things squared around with Daunt and I'm not sure if they got together or not on that, Keith. Bird: Ok. I don't have any problem with it, I just want to make sure that we're not breaking a code because once you start remodeling or bringing up then you have to bring up the code and I know that is one of the uniform building codes. Bowers: And the only thing you can make a four-hour fire wall out of, of course, is brick or pumice. Bird: And four hours is not in this area. Bowers: Right. Bird: Ok. Corrie: Someone else from the public would like to issue testimony in this request for conditional use permit? Ok. Any other questions from the council? Bird: I have none. Corrie: Ok, I'll entertain a motion to close the public hearing. Bird: Mr. Mayor? Corrie: Mr. Bird. Bird: I move we close the public hearing for the Vo's day care center. Bentley: Second. Corrie: Motion made and second that we close the public hearing on the Va day care center. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion say aye. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. 8 _. , "..-."", Meridian City Council Meeting July 20, 1999 Page14 Corrie: Ok, I'll entertain a motion to have the attorney drop the findings of fact and conclusions of law in the proper order. Bird: Mr. Mayor? Corrie: Mr. Bird. Bird: I move that we have the attorney drop the findings of fact for conditional use permit for the group day care center of 6-12 children, doing business as Vo's Daycare, 924 E. 4th Street. Bentley: Second. Corrie: Ok, motion is made and seconded. We'll have the attorney drop the findings of fact and conclusions of law in the proper order. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion say aye. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. ITEM # 7 CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR DEE JAY SUBDIVISION (14 BUILDING LOTS ON 15.04 ACRES) BY J-U-B ENGINEERS, INC.---EAST OF STRATFORD DR & NORTH & SOUTH OF WATERTOWER LN: Corrie: So at this point I'll reopen the continued public hearing. Shari, we'll have you first. Gary's down there waiting for us. Bird: I'm glad you had to bring all that paper work instead of us. Stiles: Mr. Mayor and council, this is for a property that was already annexed into the city at a zone C-G. The state law enforcement facility is here. The Meridian Cemetery owns property here. This is currently vacant land, designated as single-family residential in the comprehensive plan, but they will undoubtedly come in for a change on this 40 acres. Stratford runs down here to Franklin Road. We have the Medimont or Stonebridge subdivision here. The full size blue line prints you may have in your packet, show stub streets to the north and to the south. The showed that to meet our ordinance requirements but they also asked for a variance on the block length. In discussions with Mr. Burton Roberts of the cemetery board, they have no desire to have any stub street going into the cemetery property there. There's a little triangle here, you can't quite see it, but that's owned by Bill Hon. It's useless to him. I believe the cemetery board is working with him so that they can acquire that so that they can have a legal access to this portion back here. The cemetery board's main concerns were some kind of buffering. It will be difficult to have much buffering because there is an
