PROPOSED SITE PLAN
MERIDIAN, IDAHO
Historical Perspective
White-Leasure Development Company began negotiations with the owner of the Country Comer
Store, Mr. William E. Howell in October, 2001. During the following months Mr. Howell discussed
several issues surrounding his operation of the County Comer store with White-Leasure. One of the
issues revolved around the soil contamination of the site caused by overfilling of the gasoline tanks
over the years. The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) had issued a request for
remediation. In conjunction with the permits required for "clean up" of the site the IDEQ also
attached a condition requiring Mr. Howell to dedicate right-of-way on Meridian Road and Overland
Road to the Ada County Highway District. Mr, Howell was not willing to make this dedication to
obtain pennits from IDEQ based on his assertion that further dedication of right-of-way will
dramatically impede the businesses on the subject property. Furthermore it was the belief of Mr.
Howell that the issuance of approval for permits from IDEQ should not be contingent upon the
dedication of any right-of-way to the Ada County Highway District. Also discussed was the future
development of Mr. Howell's land, which would require sewer and water from the city of Meridian.
Annexation to the City would be required and Mr. Howell was concerned his lawfully permitted
existing uses upon the property could be jeopardized by annexation.
All of these factors caused Mr. Howell a great deal of stress and concern as Mr. Howells' investment
in this land and businesses represented his entire future retirement opportunity for himself and his
spouse. White-Leasure agreed to guide this property through the development process in spite of the
contamination issue, the run down condition of the buildings and the site in general. White-Leasure's
intent was to bring this key commercial comer into the City of Meridian and transform an eyesore
into an. atheistically pleasing retail center that would provide neighborhood services to the new
surrounding residential subdivisions. Following months of negotiations White-Leasure entered into a
long-term lease of the property with an option to purchase based upon White-Leasure's due diligence
of the subject property, which included discussions with Meridian Planning staff, Ada County
Highway District and the Idaho Transportation Department. White-Leasure's initial contact with
Meridian Planning staff occurred on October 4, 2004 with Wendy Kirpatrick and Bruce Freckelton,
At that meeting White-Leasure presented a plan that included a 52,440 square foot grocery store, a
bank with drive-thru, the existing convenience store with gasoline sales and a 2,000 square foot fast
food restaurant. This plan included two (2) accesses to Meridian Road (see Exhibit B) one (1) right-
Page 1
in.right out and one (1) full service. At no time during our discussions did staff infonn the applicant
that access would not be allowed on Meridian Road as it was under the jurisdiction of the Idaho
Transportation Department and staff directed White-Leasure to contact ACHD and TIn regarding
access. The Ada County Highway District reviewed the same plan and conceptually approved two
(2) full service accesses on Overland Road and directed the applicant to contact the Idaho
Transportation Department regarding access on Meridian Road,
Mr. Howell currently has two (2) pennits issued by the Idaho Transportation Department (see Exhibit
A) for one (1) full service access and one (1) right-in access on Meridian Road. These pe1111its were
approved by ITD on September 9, 1977 and Mr, Howell constructed these accesses and they have
been a key element to the success of his commercial businesses since 1977 and currently serve this
parcel with Meridian Road ingress and egress. No serious injury accidents were reported at this
location in 2005, On October 15, 2004 White-Leasure Development Company and Mr. and Mrs,
Howell filed an application for annexation and rezone of the parcel.
On January 18,2005 the City Council held a hearing on the request for annexation and rezone for the
Howell property now refeITed to as Meridian Gateway. During the hearing Jeff Huber of White-
Leasure Development and acting as the authorized representative of the Howell's clearly and
repeatedly stated to staff and council that he was working with ITD for access to Meridian Road. At
no time during the hearing did any council member express any objection to Mr. Huber working with
ITD for access to Meridian Road or did staff or council convey to Mr. Huber he would be required to
obtain a variance from the City for access (see minutes of January 18,2005 hearing Exhibit C).
On February 1, 2005 the Meridian City Council had the third and final reading of AZ-04-031. On
August 25, 2005 the development agreement was finalized with the City of Meridian. One of the
conditions governing annexation and re-zoning of the subject property is condition number ß,6 which
states. . . "Prior to the issuance of any building permit on the subject property all existing uses
shall be properly abandoned or brought into compliance with the Meridian City Code,
Meridian Fire Department, and subject to the conditions of ACHD and lTD." (see Exhibit D)
After meetings with ITD a letter was issued by ITD on July 12,2005 that states, "After a preliminary
review of your proposal for access onto SH69, the Idaho Transportation Department (at the district
Page 2
level) would be in favor of your requested right.in/rightøout access. The full access would be
with the understanding that when the ITD does a project on the highway placing a median
barrier or the access becomes a safety issue it would become rightøin/rightøout only." (see
Exhibit E).
On August 24, 2005 White-Leasure Development applied for three (3) accesses on Meridian Road
based upon a commitment from a national tenant and a plan that retained the grocery store. On
September 6, 2005 White-Leasure Development received another letter from ITD stating that the
application "would not meet the City of Meridian Unified Development Code, Article H" and that
"further consideration of your application will cease" (see Exhibit F). However, Article H was not in
effect at that time as Article H became effective on September 15, 2005. On September 7, 2005
White-Leasure Development wrote a letter stating the original submittals for pennits were prior to the
effective date of the annexation and therefore this parcel was not under the jurisdiction of Meridian
when the pennits were accepted for processing (see Exhibit G).
On September 14, 2005 White-Leasure Development received another letter from ITD stating all
three (3) approaches are "approved and on file in our pernùt section" (see Exhibit H). On
September 21, 20006 White-Leasure Development received another letter from ITD stating, "the
approaches, applied for under pennit application number 03-06-083 have not been approved by ITD".
White-Leasure then met with ITD and on December 15, 2005 received another letter from ITD
stating, "This letter reiterates our position on your requested access points onto Meridian Road, As
indicated during our meeting, we are agreeable to allowing one interim full access point to be
located towards the south end of your property and one right-in only to the north." The letter
goes on to state, "At our meeting you indicated a desire to pursue a right-inlright-out approach in
addition to the interim full access point and that you would provide a Transportation Impact Study
(TIS) analyzing the highway impacts associated with this." (see Exhibit I)
White-Leasure Development contracted with Kittleson and Associates and a traffic study was
prepared and submitted to ITD on January 9, 2006. On January 18, 2006 White-Leasure received
another letter from ITD stating that they "have reviewed your Transportation Impact Study" and
Page 3
"upon receipt of a variance from the City of Meridian the District will recommend approval to
the executive committee" (see Exhibit J).

Comments on Staff Report
The applicant has the following comments regarding the staff report prepared for V AR-05-027 for
the February 7, 2006 City Council Hearing,
Section 1 (Summary Description of Applicants Request) staff states, "In December 2005, lTD's
executive committee conditionally approved the locations (access to Meridian Road) contingent
on obtaining a Variance to Section 11-3H of the UDC," Staff then goes on to state in Section 2
(Summary Recommendations) that "Section 11-3H-3 of the UDC does state that the City
Council may consider and apply modifications to the standards of Article H upon specific
recommendations of the lTD. However, to Staff's knowledge, no such recommendation has
been provided to date. These two statements by staff appear to contradict each other, Would not
staff's admitted knowledge of a conditional approval by lTD constitute constructive notice to
staff of lTD's recommendation?
On Page 3 Item 6 (Agency Comments) staff states, "All agencies provided comments for the
annexation application with the exception of ACHD and lTD." Staff continues in Section A
(Annexation and Zoning Analysis) that "Staff finds the proposed access points to Kuna-Meridian
Road (SH69) and Overland Road shall be subject to the location requirements of ITD and
ACHD respectively," The only reasonable conclusion that the applicant could gather from
staff's statement is for the applicant to work with lTD to obtain access on Meridian Road.
Again the applicant would direct the Council's attention to the Exhibit I letter from ITD wherein
ITD states "As indicated during our meeting we re agreeable to allowing one interim full
access point to be located towards the south end of your property and one right. in-only to
the north."
On Page 4 Section 6 of the staff report staff cites the 2002 Comprehensive Plan text noting, "the
capacity of arterial. ..roadways can be greatly diminished by excessive driveway connections to
the roadways", Further, under Section 8 Page 4 staff cites one of the three purposed statements
of the Unified Development Code is to "limit access points to the state highways in order to
maintain traffic flow". The applicant agrees with that statement and has limited the access to
Page 1
what will be four lots fronting Meridian Road to two (2) access points with an internal frontage
road feeding the four (4) subdivided lots instead of each of the four (4) lots having individual
access to Meridian Road, therefore the applicant has limited the access points on Meridian Road.
Section 8 item C.2 states "Public street connections to the state highway shall only be allowed
at: 1) the section line road and b) the half-mile mark between section line roads". These
requirements are well intentioned and are best applied to new large Planned Community
Developments wherein single family residential, multi-family residential, office and commercial
development are all included in one "master plan".
The applicant's property could best be described as an infill development due to the fact that a
large subdivision to the south is completely built out blocking any present or future connection
to a section line or half mile access point mentioned in the code, The property to the west is an
existing business and there is a substantial grade change on the property line between the two
properties that creates a topographical barrier for any current or future connection (see Exhibit K
Site and Topographical Survey).
On Page 5 of Section 9 (Analysis) staff states "staff does not believe the applicant's arguments
meet the "findings test" for granting a variance" since there was no "lawful and properly
pennitted existing use effective September 5,2005." The development agreement states on Page
4 B.6 that "Prior to the issuance of any building pennit on the subject property, all existing uses
shall be properly abandoned or brought into compliance with the Meridian City Code" meaning
the existing uses may continue to operate and are protected under a grandfather right until a
building pennit has been applied for, There is no time limit imposed on applying for a building
pennit and the existing uses fall under the category of "non-confonning use" which are lawfully
pennitted uses. Therefore the applicant believes that the variance application does meet the
"findings test."
Also on Page 5 under "Applicant Arguments to Grant Variance" staff states, "ITD has not
approved access pennits to this site," when in fact ITD has approved two access pennits to this
site (see Exhibit A).
Page 2
Additionally, Page 5 Section 9 "Staff Analysis" Paragraph 5D.2 cites any future uses shall obtain
conditional approval subject to the conditions of ACHD and ITD. Staff states that the applicant
was given ITD policy on December 1, 2004 by Mr. Don Coonce PE District Traffic Engineer
who stated, "That the access to the development could be developed off of Overland Road and
not off of State Highway (69). The letter is included in the Staff Report. The applicant has
provided Mr. Coonce' with a copy of the traffic study and Mr. Coonce recently wrote another
letter (see Exhibit M) in support of the recommendations contained in the TIA. On the second
page of Mr. Coonce's letter under the "No Access on Meridian Road" scenario Mr. Coonce
states "The City of Meridian requirements intent is to provide a collector or some type of
connectivity to the half mile on Meridian Road. I would agree with these principles 'where
connectivity can be accomplished. Connectivity to south cannot occur due to the development to
the south has developed without potential of connectivity. Further, access only on Overland
Road would be a safety hazard condition as the TIA states. My recommendation would be
to allow the accesses onto Meridian Road to alleviate congestion concerns and potential
accidents on Overland Road."
In Section 9 Page 6 staff states, "the Development Agreement includes a statement that an access
(to Meridian Road) "may" be granted if approved by ITD". Again the applicant has two (2)
legally pennitted access points and several letters from ITD stating they are agreeable to
allowing access in the new locations if the City of Meridian will grant a variance.
Under Exhibit C, Required Findings from UDC (Variance), there are several discrepancies in
staff's analysis that need to be clarified. In Section A staff refers to "500 feet of frontage on
Ustick Road with which to design multiple access points and take public street access", The
applicant understands that staff misidentified Overland Road as Ustick Road but disagrees with
staff's statement regarding the ability of the applicant to design multiple access points on
Overland Road. The applicant has designed one (1) right-in-right-out access and has pushed the
full service access as far back as possible from the intersection and at this particular location the
new eastbound stacking lanes to be constructed by ACHD begin for vehicles making a left turn
from Overland on to Meridian headed north. There is very minimal area left for a stacking lane
for vehicles turning left into the site, (see Exhibit L), however if the variance was granted any
traffic coming from the east or north could easily access the site from the proposed right-in-
Page 3
right-out or full service access on Meridian Road and avoid any conflicts that may arise from
trying to channel all vehicles to the one access point on Overland Road.
Again, under required findings staff states that "to staff's knowledge no recommendation from
ITD has been provided", however staff is in receipt of several letters from ITD stating they are
recommending approval of the accesses. Under Item B of the required findings staff states
"there are no physical characteristics of the site, which demand access points be constructed that
are anymore unique or different than other properties along Meridian Road." The applicant
disagrees with staff and again points out the subdivision to the south of the site prevents the
property from taking access at a section line or half mile interval as does the topographical grade
change and existing business prevent the applicant from taking access further west on Overland
Road.
Also under Item B staff does concede that" granting one or more of the proposed accesses may
relieve some traffic congestion within the site because southbound traffic on Meridian Road
would not be forced to use Overland Road to get through Meridian/Overland intersections;
driver could potentially make a fee right-out turn and avoid a left-hand turn on to Overland Road
from the site." Again there are inconsistencies in staffs analysis. The applicant believes what
staff is attempting to say is "allowing one or more of the proposed access points may relieve
some traffic that may occur off site (not "within the site") because traffic would not be forced
to go through the intersection and then make a left. hand turn into the site (not "left hand turn
onto Overland Road from the site").
Under Item C of Required Findings staff cites "that granting the right-in/right-out has the
potential of increasing traffic conflicts" however culTently there is an existing convenience store
with gasoline sales operating on the site, There is also a farmer's market, a mobile sandwich
shop, emission testing center, and propane sales frequently used by the subdivision residents.
The convenience store with gasoline sales is one of the highest volume traffic generators
according to nationally recognized traffic manuals and there is culTently virtually unrestricted
access to the site.
Page 4
As a point of clarification staff states the speed limit in front of the site on Meridian Road is 55
mph when it is actually 35 mph for the north half of the site frontage on Meridian Road and 45
mph for the southern half of the site on Meridian Road. Staff further makes an issue on left turns
from the southern proposed full access merging with northbound traffic on Meridian Road but
staff makes no mention that traffic wishing to exist the site and head north on Meridian Road
will undoubtedly access Overland Road and utilize the left turn at the signal. The applicant
believes and the recently completed Traffic Study (see Section 4 regarding Traffic Study
Excerpts) clearly supports these proposed access points as being beneficial to the traffic flow at
the intersection of Overland and Meridian Roads (see Section 4 regarding Traffic Study).

Summary of the Transportation Impact Analysis
Gateway Retail Center
Prepared by: Kittelson & Associates, Inc. January 2006
The Transportation Impact Analysis was based on 28,000 square feet of general retail space, a
14,820 square foot drug store, a 3,500 square foot fast-food restaurant, and a 4,800 square foot
drive through bank. The site access driveways are forecast to operate at acceptable levels of
service during weekday peak hour with the exception of the south access on Meridian Road
however no mitigation is recommended at this access as during the other hours of the day the
access will operate acceptably,
On page 3 of the Executive Summery the traffic engineer states, "Eliminating all access on
Meridian Road, per City of Meridian Requirements, would result in inadequate operation and
possible safety problems at the full access on Overland Road, The proposed right-out movement at
the North Access on Meridian Road can be accommodated with the current access spacing and will
reduce delay for right turning vehicles at the south access, Gaps in traffic generated by the traffic
signal at Overland should further reduce conflicts with right-turning traffic. Planned projects such
as the widening of Overland Road, the Ten Mile interchange, Locust Grove Road over crossing
and the Linder Road over crossing will reduce growth in traffic on Meridian Road and increase
traffic growth on Overland Road, Development of the proposed Gateway Retail Center does not
change the levels of service of Meridian or Overland Roads,"
Recommendations cited within the report call for a southbound right turn lane to be constructed at
the south access on Meridian Road and a southbound right turn deceleration taper to be constructed
at the north access on Meridian Road.
The traffic analysis addressed the scenario of no access on Meridian Road and concluded the
following findings;
"The right-in movement at the proposed north driveway provides an alternative access for site trips
heading south on Meridian Road, It is projected that about half of the traffic heading south on
Meridian Road will utilize the north driveway, while the other half will utilize the south driveway.
Page 1
Given the right-out movement at the north access does not increase the number of conflicting right
turning vehicles onto Meridian Road and right turns are the least disruptive movements from an
access management prospective, addition of the right-out driveway will not have a significant
impact on the operation of Meridian Road."
"While the intent of the City of Meridian requirements is to provide access on a parallel
collector street system in order to improve the traffic operations on Meridian Road, a
parallel collector street does not exist, nor can one be developed near the property in the
future to accommodate the subject site." Therefore, all traffic from the site would be required to
utilize the 2 accesses on Overland Road (one access is right-inlright-out only), which are both
within the future influence area of the proposed left turn lanes (for traffic traveling east on
Overland accessing Meridian Road then going north (see Exhibit L) from the Meridian
Road/Overland Road intersection, This option is not recommended for the following reasons"
A. "Approximately 85% of the traffic entering the site would be required to make
westbound left turns from Overland into the western access without sufficient distance
between Overland Road and the west access driveway to constructed a left turn lane into the
site (please see Exhibit L).
B. "Traffic turning left into the project from Overland would block the inside westbound
through lane on Overland Road, which could spill back into the Meridian Road intersection
and cause safety and operational problems." (see Exhibit L)
c.
"The location of the western access would make it extremely difficult, if not
impractical, to add a westbound left turn lane." (see Exhibit L)
D, "Focusing all the traffic on Overland Road may require installing a traffic signal,
which is not feasible given the proximity to Meridian Road."
E. "The operation of the Overland RoadlMeridian Road intersection would be degraded
due to additional left turning traffic."
Page 2
Final recommendations of the Traffic Impact Analysis are as follows:
A,
The west access/Overland Road intersection should receive the following
improvements:
1. Coordinate elevations and landscaping with the Overland Road widening project
to ensure acceptable sight distance is maintained.
2. Modify the embankment along the property line to provide adequate sight distance
to the west if the site access driveway is constructed prior to the widening of Overland
Road in 2007.
B.
A southbound right turn lane should be constructed at the south access on Meridian
Road.
c.
A southbound right turn taper should be considered at the north access on Meridian
Road.
D.
Islands in the site accesses and/or medians on Overland Road and Meridian Road
should be installed at the proposed right.fright-out site access driveways as shown on the
proposed site plan.
E, On site shrubbery and landscaping should be trimmed and maintained to ensure
adequate sight distance for vehicles entering and existing the site via the site access
roadways.

Summary
The applicant initiated the development process with the City of Meridian in October of 2004. The
applicant has always considered this location as a key neighborhood commercial site as does the
City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan. Despite the contamination issues surrounding the site the
applicant was willing to move forward to clean up the site and develop what currently is an
eyesore into an appealing neighborhood commercial center that will serve the needs of the
surrounding neighborhoods. At full build out this site will capture many pass by trips that would
otherwise need to travel further from the area to obtain the same services. The result will be to
reduce trips outside of the area and reduce pressure on other key intersections within the Meridian
City limits.
As in any successful commercial development location and access are the two essential elements
that attract quality tenants. The applicant has a nationally known tenant ready to move forward
with the redevelopment of this site based on adequate access, Without adequate access few tenants
if any would consider this site.
It is impossible for the applicant to comply with the access requirement of Article H and funneling
all traffic into this proposed development through one left turn in access point on Overland Road is
highly discouraged for the many reasons cited in the Traffic hnpact Analysis. Currently there are
two (2) pennitted accesses on Meridian Road and the Idaho Transportation Department is
agreeable to allowing the requested accesses to continue if the City of Meridian will grant a
variance from their newly adopted ordinance.
Once developed this site will generate substantial tax revenue and be a quality addition to one of
the gateways to the City of Meridian.

, Meridian City Council Meeting
January 18, 2005.
The regular meeting of the Meridian City Council was called to order at 7:16 P.M., Tuesday, January 18, 2005,
by Mayor Tammy de Weerd.
Members present: Mayor Tammy de Weerd, Keith Bird, Shaun Wardle, Christine Donnell, and
Charlie Rountree,
Others Present: Bill Nary, Will Berg, Anna Canning, Brad Watson, John Overton, John Shawcroft, Tara Green,
Kenny Bowers, Ted Baird, and Dean Willis. '
Item 10: Public Hearing: AZ 04-031 Annexation and Zoning of 8+ acres from a C-2
zone to a proposed C-G zone for Meridian Gateway by White-Leasure
Development Company 0 SWC of South Meridian Road and West Overland
Road: '
De Weerd: Okay. Item 10 is a Public Hearing on AZ 04-031. I will open Item 10 with staff
comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is another rezone request. This
property is located at the southwest corner of Overland and Meridian Road. It currently is the
site -- a very small portion of the site is currently used for the Country Corners gas station and
convenience store. The site is a total of nine acres, or 9.08 acres, and they are currently
zoned C-2 in the county and they are requesting a C-G zone in the city. This site is designated
as commercial on our Comprehensive Plan. There are a number of uses going on on this
site. As I mentioned, there is the Country Corners. There also appears to be a junk yard, for
lack of a better term, or accumulation of junk, anyway, on a portion of the property and our
staff has been coordinating with the Ada County staff, who is actively working on it on some
of the violations and we feel that the development agreement conditions that are proposed
along with this do address some of those concerns. Let me get to that. Having a hard time
finding it for some reason. The applicant has provided. again. a conceptual diagram of how
the property might develop. They are proposing a fairly large commercial building, assumed to
mostly be retail at 52,000 square foot and, then, a smaller pad site out by Meridian Road
behind the existing gas station. Again, this is conceptual in nature and is only provided to
Council to show that the property is capable of being redeveloped in this area. Some of the
issues associated with this site plan, again, that we have raised in the staff report, but are not a
specific issue right now, are the access to Meridian Road. ITD has stated that access will be
just from Overland Road and staff is supportive of that decision. Some of the other issues are
the necessary right of way required for future widening of Meridian Road -- will take out some
of the current facilities that the gas station does have. There is a propane tank that's located
very close to the existing right of way, so that would need to be relocated and, then, just the
need to bring the existing gas station site into compliance of Meridian city code. So, in the
development agreement staff has proposed that all future uses of these proposed lots would

require conditional use approval and that prior to issuance of any building permit on the subject
property -- so that would be any of these buildings prior to issuing that building permit all
existing uses -- so, again, including the existing Country Corner -- shall be properly abandoned
or brought into compliance with Meridian city code, Meridian fire department, and also subject
to conditions of ACHD and lTD. The Meridian fire department -- we have listed those specific
concerns that they have on the existing use. Now, this is not their standard conditions of
approval that would apply to any development, we will get those at the time that the
development is applied for, but these were particular issues related to the site conditions as
they are today. So, we wanted to make sure that those were addressed before any building
permits were released on the property. The Planning and Zoning Commission has
recommended approval of this application. They heard the item on December 16th. Jeff
Huber with White-Leasure Development Company testified in favor of the application. And,
again, no one from the public testified in opposition. The key issues of discussion included the
junk yard on the rear portion of the site, the nonconforming convenience station Country
Corners, the restricting access to Meridian Road, State Highway 69, and they discussed
bringing the site into compliance with the City of Meridian code prior to issuance of any permits
on the property. And they discussed the timing or phasing of the development and the
interconnectivity with adjacent properties, specifically the Southern Springs Subdivision in
relation to other commercial operations. Southern Springs is across the street and just how
those two items kind of lined up with one another and the timing. They also discussed the
required development agreement. There was no changes to the staff's initial recommendation
and to our knowledge there are no outstanding issues before the City Council. The applicant
is here. I believe he was in agreement with the conditions of approval at the end of the
Planning and Zoning Commission hearing, but he is here.
De Weerd:Okay. Any questions for staff, Council?
Bird: I have none, Mayor.
Donnell: None.
De Weerd: Okay. Would the applicant like to make comment? I don't believe you were part of
the swearing in.
Huber: Okay.
De Weerd: Is the testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth, so help you God?
Huber: Yes, Madam Mayor.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
Huber: My name is Jeff Huber. My address is 416 South 8th Street, Boise, Idaho, and I
represent White-Leasure Development Company, the applicant.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Huber: This particular corner we feel has a lot of potential to develop and that's why Vl!e ha~e
submitted a conceptual plan to you at this time. One of the first steps in developing this

De Weerd: Okay
page~JS..tj~tSll (.;
property properly is to get it annexed into the city, so that we have access to the city sewer and
water and services and, then, we can attract some tenants to this particular location, We are
in agreement with the staff report. I just want to make a couple of comments about -- I have
been working with ITD, we have got a number of accesses on Meridian Road and we have
been working with them to reduce those down to a limited number of accesses. There would
be some limited access off of Meridian Road. I believe the commercial development to the
east has access from -- was it Comfort Road?
Canning: Calderwood.
Huber: Calderwood. Which we don't have that kind of an access at the western part of our
property, so that we are negotiating with ITD for some limited access onto Meridian Road.
And, then, of course, Overland Road is slated to be reconstructed, the intersection, and the
road widened in the near future with ACHD and we have been working with them on that plan
also. If you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them.
De Weerd: Council?
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Just to clarify the point you made with ITD, you're still in the negotiation phase, so
no decisions have been reached?
Huber: Correct.
Rountree: Or agreements?
Huber: The owner of the property has some dedicated accesses there that he actually
purchased from ITD in the past. Without knowing exactly what tenants we are going to have, I
have not applied for access points in a certain location yet. Once we have a tenant we can do
a site plan, then, we can see where the access has to be and that's when I would work with
ITD to establish that limited access there.
De Weerd: Anything further?
Rountree: That's all.
De Weerd: Council? Okay. Thank you very much.
Huber: Thank you.
De Weerd: Okay. Is there anyone else who would like to provide testimony on this
application? Okay. Council?
Donnell: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mrs. Donnell.
