SURVEYORS, THOMAS T. WRIGHT CO., GEMSTONE, INC. - OWNERlDEVELOPER,
STEVE ARNOLD - PLANNER", Clark Development for Thomas T. Wright Co. - Gemstone,
Inc. submitted for preliminary plat approval and which preliminary plat for approval application
is herein received and adjudged by the City Council pursuant to Meridian City Code S 12-3-3.
Therefore the City Council makes the following findings:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Amended
Comprehensive Plan by reason of the fact that it lies within the existing Urban Area as defined in
the Meridian Comprehensive Plan Generalized Land Use Map, Infrastructure Planning Analysis
Comprehensive Plan and Map, adopted August 6, 2002, Resolution No. 02-382, and the property
is presently zoned (I-L) Light Industrial, and requires connection to the Municipal Water and
Sewer System. [Meridian City Code S 11-7-2 NJ
2. It is found that the Generalized Land Use Map (93' Comprehensive Plan) depicts
the subject property as "Commercial" adjacent to Fairview and "Industrial" adjacent to Jewel
Street and Eagle Road. It is also found that the subdivision and the office/commercial/restaurant
uses are in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and the previously approved Development
Agreement.
3. It is determined that public services can be made available to accommodate the
proposed development if the plat complies with the requirements and conditions hereinafter set
forth as conditions of preliminary plat approval. New sanitary sewer and water mains will need
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND
DECISION AND ORDER - TREASURE VALLEY NO.3
SUBDIVISION - (PP-02-024) 2
to be extended into the subdivision, from adjacent mains, to provide service to the individual
lots.
4. The proposed development is a continuity of the proposed development within the
City's Capital Improvement Program and if the conditions which are requested by the Planning
and Zoning Administrator and the Engineering Technician III and as proposed by the developer
as stated on the preliminary plat there will be public financial capability of supporting services
for the proposed development, and therefore will not conflict with the Capital Improvement Plan.
5. The development ifbuilt in accordance with the conditions and as proposed, will
not create health, safety or environmental problems and there have been no specifics of any such
concerns brought to the Council's attention, other than the increased traffic with the opening of
the new businesses at this already busy intersection. Of special concern would be the grand
opening ofthe Krispy Kreme doughnut store, which has historically generated massive crowds
and traffic. The location ofthe proposed right-in/right-out driveway on Eagle Road,
approximately ISO-feet south ofFairview Avenue may exacerbate this situation by backing
traffic into the intersection (the Idaho Transportation Department originally denied this driveway,
however, the applicant is currently in the appeal process).
6. It is found that the Recommendation To City Council ofthe Planning and Zoning
Commission is reasonable and appropriate for the conditions of approval of the preliminary plat
as hereinafter set forth.
7. The applicant has submitted for consideration of this approval drawing of the
preliminary plat herein designated as: "PRELrMINARY PLAT TREASURE VALLEY
