Item 12: Public Hearing: AZ 05-060 Request for Annexation and Zoning of 4.92 acres from RUT to C-G zone for Ada County Highway District Ustick Road Property by the Ada County Highway District - 3595 East Ustick Road: Rohm: The next item is AZ 05-060 for Ada County Highway District Ustick Road property and there has been a request to continue this until the February 16th regularly scheduled meeting of Planning and Zoning, due to lack of posting. Guenther: Mr. Chairman? Rohm: Could I get a motion to that effect? Guenther: Mr. Chairman -- Zaremba: So moved. Guenther: -- if you wanted to table it until February 2nd, that would also work. There is a neighboring property that will be heard on the 16th and that is why they -- that item was requested for a month, instead of two weeks. Rohm: I think the 16th is a good date for that to hear the two projects at the same time. So, thank you for your comment, but this -- I think the 16th would be better from my perspective. Would someone like to make a motion to that effect? Zaremba: I'll remake the motion that we continue AZ 05-060 to our regularly scheduled meeting of February 16th, 2006. Moe: Second. Rohm: It's been moved and seconded that we continue AZ 05-060 to February 16th, 2006. All those in favor say aye. Opposed same sign? Okay. Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Zaremba: I'm sorry, on the last one did I also understand there was a notice problem? Are they aware it needs to be noticed? Guenther: They failed to post, so they will have to re-notice, I believe. Zaremba: Okay. s Meridian Planning & Zoning January 19, 2006 Page 38 of 92 Item 13: Public Hearing: AZ 05-061 Request for Annexation and Zoning of 9.55 acres from RUT to C-G zone for Una Mas by Una Mas, LLC - 3475 East Ustick Road: Rohm: Well -- and carrying it out to the 16th gives them plenty of time to get that done. Okay. Good. With that, at this time I would like to open the Public Hearing on AZ 05- 061 for Una Mas and start with the staff report. Guenther: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. Staff is recommending continuance of this project. However, we would like to hear it. The applicant is here. This is a 9.55 acre parcel. It is approximately 300 yards to the east side of Ustick Road. This site plan -- this is a conceptual site plan drafted by the applicant. The ACHD property that we just continued is this site right here, which is approximately four acres, which is for their new public road connection. This public road is going to be the extension of Records, which is across from where the Sportsman Warehouse is and the Meridian Crossroads project. This road would be the mid block future collector connection, splitting Ustick and Fairview, and that is why the staff was recommending the continuance, is because this site -- the Una Mas project, which is the 9.55 acres immediately to the east of the ACHD project, and the Gateway Marketplace, which is immediately east on the intersection of -- the southwest corner of the intersection of Eagle and Ustick, are all open applications at this time at the planning office. Currently, in front of you tonight would have been the ACHD and Una Mas, which are for annexation only. With that, this application did come in prior to the City Council, essentially, giving better direction to staff that they don't want to see annexations without development proposals. However, this is kind of a unique situation due to the fact that this site for Una Mas does not have a public road access. It does have frontage on Ustick Road, but ACHD has determined that the site would be for a full access point offsite for this project. If you look at -- at the actual site right now, there is a single family residence in the center of this site, which ACHD has granted future construction access point for this site, if it takes a bit for the ACHD project, as well as the undetermined Gateway Marketplace project, to deliver their cross-access to this site. So, currently, this is kind of landlocked due to the fact that ACHD has already improved Ustick Road at this site and they did not give the site an access point and there is no cross-access to the existing points on Ustick Road. Now, that being said, one of the conditions -- or not -- one of the comments, which will be written into the development agreement for this site, would be cross-access to the east to the ACHD site, to the west, which is the Gateway Marketplace, and to the south, which is a commercially zoned Redfeather site. At this time one point to bring up is that the ACHD project is not going to retain all of that project. They are only going to keep what they need for their future collector road. The remainder of that portion, which is requested to be considered as a C-G, general commercial zone, is going to be sold to the highest bidder. Now, if the bidder turns out to be this site, then, this site plan would be completely not inconsequential as a preliminary plat would be filed that would be brought all the way over to the future collector road. Now, there is a lot of what ifs with this site, which is why staff recommends a continuance of this application. However,
