Broadway Ave. Meridian, ID, 83642 Re: Annex and Zoning Application 4255 N Ten Mile Rd., Meridian, ID, 83646 Dear Planning Staff, Please see responses to review cycle one below: Comment Response 1. The detail is not shown on page A-1.0 as indicated in the response letter. In addition, the specific use standards for self service, storage facilities require the storage to be completely fenced, walled, or enclosed AND screened from public view. Since Doc Lane is not a public road, the wrought iron fence should be suitable depending the detail being provided. R1. Wrought iron fence is being proposed. Please see fence detail on sheet A- 1.0. A vinyl fence is proposed along the neighboring properties to the south and west. 2. The hours of operation restriction is for both uses. The specific use standards for a self service, storage facility states public hours of operation shall be limited to 6 am to 11 pm. This will be a condition of approval and was discussed prior to submittal. R2. Understood. 3. Thank you for adjusting the plan. There is still adequate room to fit 5 feet on landscaping on the whole southern boundary of Doc lane with the sidewalk. This can either be adjusted or a condition of approval. Please let me know how you would like to proceed. R3. A 5' landscape buffer has been added to the south side of Doc Lane. Please see the revised site plan on sheet A-1.0. HATCH DESIGN ARCHITECTURE 200 w.36th street,boise,idaho 83714•phone 208.475.3204•email info@hatchda.com 4. The photometric plan and lighting cut sheet are not included as stated in response letter. R4. Please see the attached photometric plan and lighting cut sheet. 5. If you wish to phase the project, you will need to submit a short plat to subdivide the property. Currently, the property is one parcel for development purposes. You can install all of the site improvements and phase the building, but all site improvements will be required (paving, landscaping, striping, fencing, etc.) R5. The developer would prefer not to split the parcel. The applicant requests that all required site improvements be a condition of occupancy on the phase I buildings depicted on the phasing plan. Please see revised phasing plan on sheet A-1.0 6. My target hearing dates will be either August 7th or 21st. R6. Due to the timing of the real estate transaction,the August 7t" date would be preferred. Please contact our office with any questions you may have in reviewing the application materials.

Broadway Ave. Meridian, ID, 83642 Re: Annex and Zoning Application 4255 N Ten Mile Rd., Meridian, ID, 83646 Dear Planning Staff, Please see responses to review cycle one below: Comment Response 1. Please provide a fencing detail for the fencing proposed on site. Chain Link does not count towards a screening material and cannot abut residential districts/public roads. R1. Wrought iron fence is being proposed. Please see fence detail on sheet A-1.0 2. Please provide a copy of the doc lane easement. I would like to see the language for the easement R2. Please attached easement documents. 3. Provide 5 feet of landscaping on the north and south sides of Doc Lane to avoid double fronted lots when the subdivision to the north redevelops. R3. A 5' landscape buffer has been added to the north side of Doc Lane. A 5' sidewalk has been added to south side of Doc Lane. A 5' buffer is proposed from the back of side walk on the north side of buildings 1 and 2. Please see the revised site plan on sheet A-1.0. 4. Provide a sidewalk on the south side of Doc Lane that stubs to the property to the west. This will allow storage condo tenants to access the clubhouse and trash enclosure. Additionally, it will provide opportunities for the western property to redevelop and have pedestrian connection. R3. A 5' sidewalk has been added to south side of Doc Lane. A club house is no longer being proposed. The restrooms have been relocated to the south side of building 1. HATCH DESIGN ARCHITECTURE 200 w.36th street,boise,idaho 83714•phone 208.475.3204•email info@hatchda.com 5. Please provide building material callouts on the elevations. Primarily for the flex building on Ten Mile. R5. Please see revised elevations on sheets A-4.0—A-4.4. 6. Hours of operation will be between 6 am and 11 pm. Please confirm this is what you and your client are proposing. R6. The hours of operation for the flex building along Ten Mile Rd. will be restricted to 6 am to 11 pm. The storage units will be individually owned and accessible 24 hours a day. CCR's will set the rules and enforce quiet time from 6 am to 11 pm. These rules will be consistent with the prohibited acts set forth in MCC 6-3-6. 7. An idea to address REF #3 above is to shift buildings 3 and 4 down, as a 43' 6" and 39' 9" drive aisles are not required to be that wide. This would then allow for more space on the north side to incorporate landscaping and a sidewalk. R7. Please see the revised site plan on sheet A-1.0. 8. Do you have any floor plans you can share for the storage condos? I assume they will be built out by each tenant but I always like to show what a storage condo is versus a regular storage facility. R8. Please see the typical layout on sheet A-2.1. 9. UDC 11-3A-16 required all entrances to a self-service facility to have low-impact security lighting. Please provide some options for how you plan achieve this while also not impacting the existing/future residential. R9. Please see the attached photometric plan and lighting cut sheet. Proposed phasing: The applicant is proposing a phased project. Please see the attached phasing plan and narrative on Sheet A-1.1. Please contact our office with any questions you may have in reviewing the application materials. Sincerely, Jeff Hatch,AIA LEED AP HATCH DESIGN ARCHITECTURE
