Members Present: Chairman Michael Rohm, Commissioner Keith Borup, Commissioner David Zaremba, Commissioner Newton-Huckaby, and Commissioner David Moe. Others Present: Ted Baird, Tara Green, Caleb Haod, Jennifer Veatch, Mike Cole, and Dean Willis. Item 1: Roll-Call Attendance: Roll-call X Wendy Newton-Huckabay X Keith Borup X David Moe -Vice Chairman X David Zaremba X Michael Rohm -Chairman Rohm: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. At this time we'd like to convene our regularly scheduled meeting of the Meridian Planning and Zaning Commission and we will begin with the roll call of Commissioners. Item 2: Adoption of the Agenda: Item 3: Consent Agenda: A. Approve Minutes of April 6, 2006 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting: Rohm: Thank you. The second item on the agenda is the adoption of the agenda and the first item is the Consent Agenda, which is to approve the minutes of the April 6th, 2006, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting and the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law for CUP 06-010. Any comments before we make a motion? Zaremba: Mr. Chairman, I do, actually, have comments on both. Rohm: Okay. Zaremba: On the minutes on page one, near the top, it indicates that four of us were here and Commissioner Newton-Huckabay missed the meeting, then, about three- quarters of the way down the page she is credited for seconding a motion that I made. I would guess either Commissioner Moe or Commissioner Borup was the second on that one. Anybody want to Tess up to that? Borup: Sure. Meridian Planning & Zoning May 4, 2006 Page 2 of 84 Zaremba: Okay. Let's give Commissioner Borup credit for seconding that mation. Then, on page 19, there is a large paragraph in the middle, about three lines up from the bottom, there is -- the middle of the sentence begins: Applicant will work with the buffer on Lot 9. I believe that should say applicant will work with staff on Lot 9 to solve the common drive and buffer problem. I would change the word buffer to staff. Those are my only comments on the minutes. I have comment in the form of a question on the Findings. That would be Exhibit B, conditions of approval, section one of planning department. I think in the motion we added a couple of things to that, one of which was that no speaker system is approved with this CUP application, although the applicant may later submit a separate one. Also added a paragraph that says that the applicant has volunteered to add trees and landscaping on both sides of the fence. And mine says there was a third one, although I don't have the minutes yet. Does anybody remember -- this is the drive-in over on the corner of Linder and Cherry. Newton-Huckabay: Yeah. The trees and the -- Zaremba: The trees and the no speaker. Newton-Huckabay: -- no speaker. No lighted sign. But that was -- Zaremba: We discussed no light, but that would come up in a sign application. Newton-Huckabay: Right. Zaremba: And we discussed some striping and some -- and a sign an the island, but I didn't make that part of the motion. Rohm: Maybe the best thing is to drop that from this Consent Agenda and, then, be able to pull the discussion from -- from the minutes. Zaremba: That would be my motion on that one, would be to have staff take this one back and check the minutes for those two or possibly three items. But I agree it's probably two and, then, put it on the next agenda. End of my comments. Rohm: Okay. Any other comments? Okay. With that, then, could we get a motion to approve the Consent Agenda as adjusted, with minutes changed as per Commissioner Zaremba's comments? Zaremba: So moved. Mae: Second. Rohm: It's been moved and seconded that we approve the Consent Agenda, only including the minutes of the April 6th meeting and Item B has been dropped. All those in favor say aye. Opposed same sign? Motion carried. Thank you. Meridian Planning & Zoning May 4, 2006 Page 3 of 84 MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Rohm: At this time I'd like to -- oh, before I open this, have some comments. Many of you attend these Planning and Zoning meetings infrequently and I'd like to talk just a little bit about the procedure that's used and what we do -- we will open up a hearing for a particular project and the first thing we da is we ask staff to give their comments. What they do is they talk about a project in terms of the UDC and the Comprehensive Plan. They kind of spell it out from that perspective, just as it conforms to the laws of the City of Meridian. At such time that they have completed their presentation, the applicant has 15 minutes to present the project and what they do is they present it from a sales perspective. They try and sell the project to us, based upon the value back to the city. Once those two presentations have been made, then, we take public comment and everybody has an opportunity to speak to the project and they will be heard. And that's the procedure that we use and there is some time limitations and as we move through this we will talk more about that. Item 4: Continued Public Hearing from April 20, 2006: RZ 06-001 Request for a Rezone of 5.40 acres from R-8 to L-0 (Limited Office) for Sundance Subdivision No. 5 by Dave Evans Construction -northeast corner of Ustick Raad and Meridian Road: Item 5: Continued Public Hearing from April 20, 2006: PP 06-014 Request far Preliminary Plat approval of 12 commercial lots an 3.77 acres in a proposed L-O zone for Sundance Subdivision No. 5 by Dave Evans Construction -northeast corner of Ustick Raad and Meridian Road: Item 6: Continued Public Hearing from April 20, 2006: CUP 06-011 Request to modify the previous Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Development (CUP 01-025) by adding additional office lots, changing building and parking layout and allowing potential drive through sites for Sundance Subdivision No. 5 by Dave Evans Construction -- northeast corner of Ustick Road and Meridian Road: Rohm: But to start off with, I'd like to open up the continued Public Hearing from the April 20th meeting of RZ 06-001, continued Public Hearing PP 06-014, and CUP 06-011, all related to Sundance Subdivision No. 5 and begin with the staff report. Hood: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. There is also a fourth application with the file numbers you just mentioned. You do not have to act on that tonight. It is a miscellaneous application to amend the development agreement that's currently in effect for this site, which leads me to the presentation of the subject project. It was approved in 2001 as part of Sundance Subdivision. There were four office lots that were platted in the R-8 district and the applicant is, essentially, cleaning that up, if you will, and proposing to rezone the area outlined in green there on the screen to an
