Eliminate on page two, paragraph 1.1.8 -- the one I referenced earlier was the reference in the ACHD report. So, eliminate that entire paragraph. End of motion. Moe: Second. Rohm: It's been moved and seconded that we forward onto City Council recommending approval of AZ 06-005 and PP 06-004 to include all staff comments with amended as stated. All those in favor say aye. Opposed same sign? So, there is three, four, and one opposed. Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE NAY. ONE ABSENT. Rohm: Typically we are take a break at 9:00 o'clock and we are way beyond that. So, we are going to take a 15 minute break. Thank you. (Recess.) Rohm: At this time we'd like to reconvene the regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission. And before we open up the next one, I'd like to restate that Items 18 and 19, referring to Tanana Valley Subdivision, have both been continued to the June 1 st hearing, so they will not be heard tonight. So, anyone that might be here to listen to that will have to come back on the 1 st of June. Item 9: Continued Public Hearing from March 2, 2006: AZ 06-006 Request for Annexation and Zoning of 10.01 acres from RUT to C-G zone for Knighthill Center Subdivision by Sea 2 Sea, LLC - southwest corner of Linder Road and Chinden Boulevard: Item 10: Continued Public Hearing from March 2, 2006: PP 06-005 Request for Preliminary Plat approval of 4 commercial lots and 1 common lot on 10.01 acres in a proposed C-G zone for Knighthill Center Subdivision by Sea 2 Sea, LLC - southwest corner of Linder Road and Chinden Boulevard: Rohm: That being said, at this time I'd like to open the Public Hearing on Knighthill Center Subdivision, AZ 06-006 and PP 06-005, and begin with the staff report. Wilson: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. This item was continued from March 2nd due to the fact that ACHD had not given their approval yet. It did go to the ACHD commission. Just a quick summary. They did request annexation and zoning of 10.01 acres from RUT to the C-G, General Retail and Service Commercial, and preliminary plat approval of four commercial building lots at the southwest corner of Chinden and Linder. ACHD did approve the application with no changes. Staff doesn't really have any further comments. We did have a full discussion on this item last time. I don't have anything in my notes as far as changes that the Commission wished to see. I think with that I will take any questions. ..., Meridian Planning & Zoning April 6, 2006 Page 51 of 136 Rohm: Any questions of staff? Zaremba: Mr. Chairman, I do have one. And it didn't come to me while reading these materials, it came to me while reading the later item that we are going to have on Lochsa Falls. Even though it clearly says on their plat and the staff comments clearly say that West Everest is a private street, I didn't get the impact of that until I was reading the Lochsa Falls one. Not being a public street means that Lochsa Falls or some homeowners association is responsible for maintaining that and takes on the liability for anybody that uses it. It's not a public street. I don't think we can assume that this project can just attach to it. I think we need to ask for a cross-access agreement there. It seems to be that it would be in the benefit of both parties, not only for Lochsa Falls to have access to this project and, therefore, access to the public street beyond it, but I would think we need to have that in writing as a condition as well. Wilson: I think we would agree. Zaremba: That was my only comment. Rohm: Good comment. Shawn, would you like to come forward, please? Nickel: Hi again. Shawn Nickel. 839 East Winding Creek, Suite 201, in Eagle. The only thing I have to add -- if staff will put the picture on the screen. Commissioner Newton-Huckabay had asked me to bring back -- and, of course, she's not here -- an elevation of -- if you recall, the backside of that building -- if I can find my pointer. Zaremba: I was going to bring it up on her behalf, so thank you. Nickel: The back side of the building -- this is the -- she was concerned with the private road that comes out of Lochsa and what that elevation would look like on the back there. This is an elevation of the scenario over off of Fairview in Meridian at Fairview and Eagle -- I'm sorry, McMillan and Eagle in Boise, the same scenario with that elevation. So, can you go back to the first picture again? This is an Albertson's in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and if you look at this style, this is the style that that development is going to -- our development is going to be patterned after, so -- with the cobbles and the large timbers. Go to the next one, please. What we are going to do on that backside -- and as you know on the site plan we have got the store frontages that come around and, then, the backside will be the large box. So, what we will do is we will provide elements of the same rock type along these areas right here to kind of break up that elevation. I think that will beautify that a lot more than your typical back of a big box store. Zaremba: Dress it up a little bit? Nickel: In addition to screening the trash areas and the utilities and all that. So, I hope that addresses Mrs. Newton-Huckabay's concerns. ... Meridian Planning & Zoning April 6, 2006 Page 52 of 136 Zaremba: I think she will be happy with that. Thank you. Nickel: Okay. That's alii have. Zaremba: I don't know whether this has come up in your own thinking or not. Have there been any discussions with Lochsa Falls about being able to use their private street? Connect to it? Nickel: Yes, there have, and cross-access agreement -- we have got a verbal agreement for the cross-access and that will, obviously, be -- Zaremba: Okay. So, you wouldn't have a problem with a requirement that there be a written agreement? Nickel: No. Zaremba: Okay. Thanks. Nickel: Thank you. Rohm: Good. Feel kind of at a loss here. We are only five minutes into this. Okay. There was nobody that has signed up for this application, but at this time if there is anybody that would like to come forward and speak to this application, now is the time. Seeing none, maybe we could get a motion to close the -- Zaremba: Mr. Chairman, I'd move we close the Public Hearing on AZ 06-006 and PP 06-005, relating to Knighthill Center Subdivision. Moe: Second. Rohm: It's been moved and seconded that we close Public Hearing on AZ 06-006 and PP 06-005. All those in favor say aye. Opposed same sign? Motion carried. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. ONE ABSENT. Zaremba: Mr. Chairman? Rohm: Commissioner Zaremba. Zaremba: Assuming we had pretty thorough discussion on it and what we were waiting for was the response of ACHD, which apparently is concurring with what was already there, I would be prepared to make a motion. Rohm: Please do. .." Meridian Planning & Zoning April 6, 2006 Page 53 of 136 Zaremba: Okay. After -- let's see. After considering all staff, applicant, and public testimony, I move to recommend approval to the City Council of file numbers AZ 06-006 and PP 06-005, as presented in the staff report for the hearing date of March 2, 2006, with the following modifications: In Exhibit B, under site specific requirements, I would add a paragraph 1.2.12, asking that the applicant provide cross-access among their own lots. I would -- which I believe they have already agreed to. I would add a paragraph 1.2.13, asking that the applicant provide signage that indicates there is an exit towards West Everest Lane somehow, which I believe they have also agreed to. And I would add a paragraph 1.2.14, that they will provide evidence of a cross-access agreement to use West Everest Lane, I believe it is, and provide evidence of that to staff by ten days before the City Council hearing. End of motion. Moe: Second. Rohm: It's been moved and seconded that we forward onto City Council recommending approval of AZ 06-006 and PP 06-005, include all staff comments, with -- as amended by verbal discussion. All those in favor say aye. Opposed same sign? Let's do that again. Zaremba: I missed that. Borup: All ayes. Rohm: Let's do that again. Zaremba: Sorry. Rohm: All those in favor say aye. Thank you. Opposed same sign? Motion carried. Thank you. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. ONE ABSENT. Item 11: Continued Public Hearing from March 2, 2006: AZ 06-004 Request for Annexation and Zoning of 358.57 acres from RR to R-2 (66.02 acres), R-8 (167.02 acres), R-15 (79.82 acres), C-N (17.26 acres) and C-C (28.45 acres) for The Tree Farm by Treehaven, LLC - north side of Chinden Boulevard on both sides of Black Cat Road; west of Spurwing Subdivision: Rohm: Pay attention. All right. At this time I'd like to open the Public Hearing on AZ 06-004 related to the Tree Farm and begin with the staff report. Hood: Thank you, Mr. Chair, Members of the Commission. This item is also a continued item. I will not go through the whole description of the project again, but it is approximately 358 acres on the north side of Chinden. Mixed use development. It is just an annexation application. It was continued for, really, two specific reasons. There
