RE:
V AR-05-027
Dear Madam Mayor, Members of the City Council and Ms Canning:
At the AprillSth City Council meeting the council approved a variance for one (1) right-inlright-
out access point on Meridian Road to be located no closer than seven hundred feet (700') south
of the centerline of the Meridian/Overland Road intersection.
We appreciate the Council's consideration in approving the variance. However, we would
request that the Council give consideration to allowing the right-inlright-out access be no closer
than five hundred feet (500') south of the centerline of Meridian/Overland Road intersection to
the center line of the right-inlright-out access as per the attached drawing. This would allow for
better circulation within the site.
Thanks again for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
~
Jeff Huber

Borton: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Borton.
Borton: I move we approve VAR 05"()27, a variance application, limiting it to a right-in,
right-out access only at the southern most -~ of the two Meridian Road access points,
the southern access point be permitted as a right-in, right-out.
Wardle: Second. And I need a clarification.
De Weent Okay. Well, since you have seconded it, you can have discussion.
Wardle: Anna, do you have a dimension center line from Overland Road as to just a -
Canning: I don't have an exact one. If you wanted to tie it to the - to line up with the
Southern Springs access, that would -- that would pin it down.
Wardle: Okay. I'm just looking for a reasonable not to exceed - would 700 feet be --
let me rephrase that, Anna. If I were to amend the motion to include the phrase no
closer than 700 feet from the center line of Overland Road, would that suffice?
Canning: I think that will do it.
Wardle: Okay. Would the maker of the motion allow that clarification?
Borton: Yes.
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Okay. Mr. Nary.
Nary: The maker of the motion may also want to consider including that staff bring back
new Findings. I think the Findings were for denial, so --
Borton: Please. The motion maker would so request.
De Weerd: Second agree?
Wardle: Second agrees.
De Weerd: Okay.
Borton: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Borton.

Borton: For the sake of discussion and the applicant, one of the things from my
perspective - it's not to step on toes. I like discussions about economic viability of the
project and the need for - the tenant's concerns and - and commercial development
there, but specifically with regards to the variance request, we talked about those things
and if - with regards to the variance, they are not -- at least from my perspective they
are not specific factors that weigh into whether or not a variance should or shouldn't be
granted, just because the rules don't permit that to be one of the bases as to whether or
not it does or doesn't improve the economic viability of the property. I do think that this
particular parcel and its topography, in light of this ~- these restrictions on the variance,
make this a proper way to go. Just wanted to make sure that was clear.
De Weerd: Okay. Any other discussion? Okay. Mr. Berg, will you, please, call roll.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, absent; Wardle, yea; Borton, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE ABSENT.
Item 21 :
Public Hearing: Building Department Fee Changes:
De Weerd: Okay. If someone will go find Mr. Rountree, I will go ahead and open the -
these are really quick, right? Unless a lot of people are waiting to testify on this. Okay.
Item 21, Public Hearing for Building Department Fee Changes. Mr. Freckleton, you
have waited all night for this opportunity.
Freckleton: I have.
De Weerd: I thought Clint was going to do it. We have been waiting to give him an
initiation and we haven't been able to do that.
Freckleton: Well, good morning, Madam Mayor and Council. We have a proposal that
includes four modifications to some permit fees that we have. First being a modification
of the methodology for calculating residential electrical permit fees. The second is an
increase in the re-inspection fees for structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical
disciplines. The third is an increase for residential spa, hot tub, hydro massage and
swimming pool electrical permit fees. And the fourth is a rate increase for temporary
construction power pole permits. We put this proposal together and on the 31 st of
March I forwarded a copy of the entire proposal to Jason Ronk over at the BCA. He
turned around and forwarded out the proposal to all their members and asked for any
comments on that. I followed up with Jason this morning via e-mail. He responded back
basically stating that he got no response and - but he forwarded my e-mail from this
morning out to their member group as well. He later followed up this afternoon about
4: 15 and said that he didn't hear anything back from anybody, so --
De Weerd: They are all out in the field I think.
