Item 9, 10 & 11. Fignut Subdivision (AZ-08-015, RZ-08-009 & PP-08-012) CITyOFC�ffi
CITYCLE
Location: The west side of S. Locust Grove Road, north of E. Overland Road and south o1KS OFFICE
Interstate I-84.
Applications: Annexation, Rezone and Preliminary Plat
Highlights of the Request: Annexation and Zoning of 15.08 acres from RUT to C-G and I-L;
rezone of 1.69 acres from C-G to I-L; preliminary plat approval for 7 non-residential lots and 1
common lot on approximately 16.78 acres; and alternative compliance to allow the required
street landscape buffers adjacent I-84 be installed with lot development and deviate from the
plantings required for the landscape buffer along western plat boundary because of an existing
irrigation and storm drain easement. Access to this development is proposed from a public
local/commercial street (S. Fignut Way and E. Bird Dog Drive) with 5-foot wide attached
sidewalks. Further, the applicant is proposing a 54-foot access easement along western edge of
the cul-de-sac/property boundary which provides connectivity with Pack It Up Subdivision.
Commission also recommended additional cross access between Lot 1, Block 2 on the proposed
plat and the Maverick store at the southern property boundary to allow access to E. Bird Dog
Drive as these two lots share a right-in/right-out only access to Locust Grove.
Commission Recommendation: Approval at their March 5, 2009 public hearing.
Summary of Commission Public Hearing:
i. In favor: Ron Van Auker Jr.
ii. In opposition: None
iii. Commenting: None
iv. Written testimony: None
Key Issue(s) of Discussion by Commission:
i. Cross access between the Maverick store and Lot 1, Block 2.
ii. The required 25-foot wide land use buffers required between the I-L zoned lots and
the C-G zoned lots.
Key Commission Change(s) to Staff Recommendation:
i. DA provision # 8 (With future development of the I-L zoned lots, the applicant shall
construct a 25 foot wide landscape buffer adjacent to the boundaries of the C-G zoned lots in
accordance with UDC 11-3B-9 and ALT-08-027) added unless reviewed and approved
through alternative compliance.
ii. Modified condition 2.6 striking the requirement of City Engineer's signature and
added prior to issuance of a CZC for the development.
Outstanding Issue(s) for City Council:
i Staff is requesting Council to modify DA provision #8 and condition of approval
1.2.1 bullet 3 to read: With future development of Lot 2, Block 1, the applicant shall
construct a 25 foot wide landscape buffer adjacent to the southern boundary
approved by ALT-08-028.
ii. Prior to the Council hearing, the Flood Plain Administrator informed the Planning
Department of a possible violation of the Clean Water Act on the property because
the Nine Mile Creek was tiled without approval from the Army Corp of Engineers.
Further, the stream was altered without approval (Stream Alteration Permit) from the
Idaho Department of Water Resources. However, the applicant submitted approved
6/23/2009
construction drawings and written documentation (2003) from NMID allowing the
tiling of the creek. To ensure the site complies with the aforementioned agencies,
Staff is recommending the Council add a DA Provision that prior to Final Plat
approval, the applicant shall provide the Planning Department with copies of any
permits or approvals from the Army Corp of Engineers and Idaho Department of
Water Resources.
Written Testimony since P&Z Meeting: The applicant is in agreement with the change to the
conditions of approval outlined above.
