to happen, so just to see if -- if that language is - if the Council is comfortable with that
language and we can discuss that in the future.
Item 7:
Items Moved from Consent Agenda:
K.
Approve Access Easement Between the Citv of Meridian
{grant2[} and ACHD (Grantee) on Lot 21 of the Amended Plat
of Block 1 of the Townsite of Meridian (55 East Broadway)
requested as a Condition of the Creamery Alley Vacation:
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. There were two items removed from the Consent Agenda.
We will consider Item K on approve access easement between the City of Meridian and
ACHD. Mr. Nary.
Nary: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. Item 7 -K is an access
easement agreement between the city and ACHD regarding the vacated alley that
currently now runs from Main Street to Meridian Road between the former Shell
property by the creamery property and the Zamzow's property on the block just south of
where we are. We had hoped to have a final version in front of you, that's why we had
placed it on a Consent Agenda in anticipation of ACHD completing their review. They
haven't completed their review. We hope to have that completed by this week. There
are some questions that we would like some direction on or for you to consider before
your approval, if we could have it back in front of you next week. Primarily, when this -
when this alley was vacated at the request of the current property owner of the -- what's
commonly called the creamery site, originally the ACHD commission had recommended
a turnaround in that alley. Subsequent to that discussion the staff was concerned about
having a turnaround. They don't like to vacate half an alley, basically, and they don't like
to have turnarounds in a narrow alley and so they requested that they provide an
easement through what's currently the City of Meridian parking lot, again, south of this
building and across Broadway. That's what this easement agreement is for is to allow
that and it has some specific conditions that do protect the city's interest for future use
of the parking lot, future use of the other parcels around this alley. There are some other
considerations you may want to consider in whether or not they can create either a one
way type of access to this property, so we aren't dealing with two way traffic through a
parking lot, any other direction you may have, but our anticipation is to have this back in
front of you either next week or the week after, if we can work out some of these side
issues with ACHD. Is there other information I guess you want me to carry back to
ACHD to see if we can get this issue back both in front of their commission -- I think the
17th was their next commission hearing that they wanted to -- hopefully to have some
resolution to as well.
