Item 11: Public Hearing: CUP 06..Q31 Request for a Conditional Use Permit for lighted fields adjoining a residential district for Heritage Middle School by Joint School District NO.2 - 4990 N. Meridian Road: Rohm: Okay. At this time I'd like to open the Public Hearing on CUP 06-031, Heritage Middle School and begin with staff report. Watters: Thank you, Chairman Rohm, Commissioners. The application before you is a request for a Conditional Use Permit and variance for Heritage Middle School, located 4990 North Meridian Road, on the northeast corner of North Meridian Road and McMillan Road. If you look up here on the screen, we are looking at that property right there. To the north of the property is Ventana Subdivision. To the east is Saguaro Subdivision. And to the south is recently approved Solitude Subdivision. All single family residential subdivisions. Across Meridian Road there to the west is vacant commercial property, zoned C-G as part of Paramount Subdivision. The City of Meridian Parks Department is requesting that the school provide -- schools in general provide lighted ball fields for the benefit of the community to increase the number of fields available for evening sports activities. Per this request the applicant is applying for a Conditional Use Permit as required by the UDC for lighted fields adjoining and within a residential district. To minimize or alleviate the adverse impacts that this use may pose to nearby residential properties, staff has requested as a condition of approval that the ball field lights not be lit passed 11:00 p.m. at night. Additionally, the applicant is applying for a variance from UDC 11.3A 11.C that requires light fixtures that have a maximum output of 1,800 lumens or more to have an opaque top to prevent uplighting and requires that the bulb not be visible and have a full cut-off shield. The applicant st~tes that they Meridian Planning & Zoning November 2, 2006 Page 26 of 53 cannot comply with this requirement, because the flood lighting that is needed to adequately light a ball field requires exposed light bulbs. The fire department is requesting that the applicant construct an emergency access road to the four ball fields as part of the subject approval, as stated in Exhibit B of the staff report. Staff is recommending approval of the requested Conditionsl Use Permit and variance as stated in the staff report. Only I guess I need to show you the site plan real quick here. The arrows indicate the two fields that will -- are proposing to be lit through this conditional use. That's all staff has, unless the Commission has questions. Rohm: Thank you very much.

We have read the staff report and are in agreement with the findings and the conditions of approval. So, with that I'll stand for questions. Rohm: That's pretty simple. Henson: I'd like to go home. You have seen me dozing here. Rohm: Any questions for the applicant? Moe: I'll wait for public comment. Rohm: Okay. Thank you. There is not anyone signed up to speak to this application, but now is the time. Anyone that would care to speak to this application, please, come forward. Seeing none- Moe: Mr. Chairman?
