Members Present: Keith Borup, Jerry Centers, David Zaremba, and Leslie Mathes. Members Absent: Michael Rohm. Others Present: Bruce Freckleton, Steve Siddoway, Jill Holinka, Sharon Smith, Jessica Johnson, and Dean Willis. Item 1. Roll-Call Attendance: x X David Zaremba X Jerry Centers Leslie Mathes 0 Michael Rohm ----X-Chairman Keith Borup Borup: I'd like to thank everyone for their patience. We had a few things to take care of before we start, so we'd like to begin our regularly scheduled meeting of the Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission for Thursday, January 2nd, and start with roll call of Commissioners. Item 4. Public Hearing: CUP 02-043 Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Development for drive-thru facilities on pre-approved bank in a C- C zone on 0.89 acres for Albertsons Employees' Federal Credit Union by Albertsons Employees' Federal Credit Union - south of East Overland Road and east of South Eagle Road: Borup: The first item on the Agenda is CUP 02-043, a request for Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Development drive-thru facility on - for Albertson's Employees Federal Credit Union. This is south of Overland Road and east of Eagle Road. I'd like to open the Public Hearing at this time and start with the staff report. Siddoway: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. The site is incorrectly identified on the vicinity map up there. It is the parcel just west of the one outlined in black. It's, actually, a portion of that lot. The reason for the confusion is there is a plat that's going -- that's in process right now for re-subdividing this area and it was unclear which parcel this was on. The noticing was done based on the perimeter that's shown there and it should have shifted west slightly to the adjacent lot. You do have a staff report dated December 23rd. This is for an Albertson's Federal Credit Union. It is a Conditional Use Permit request because of the drive-thru. The bank itself, as a use, is a permitted use in the subdivision. The drive-thru at the bank is the reason why it's coming back for a separate Conditional Use at this time. The site-specific requirements on Page 3 mention some minor modifications that need to be made to the Landscape Plan and submitting a revised copy of that 10 days prior to the next Public Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission Mee~ng January 2, 2003 Page 2 of 57 Hearing. The other comments are fairly standard in nature and staff would recommend approval of this application with the conditions mentioned in the staff report. I do have a few other site photos to show you. This is the aerial photo. You can see it's at the intersection of Overland Road and Eagle Road. This is the Silverstone complex. This is the proposed Site Plan for the drive-thru. It does have two drive-thrus, an ATM machine, and an escape lane, so two banking lanes, an ATM lane, an escape lane like that heading west. Overland Road is north up here. These are the elevations of the proposed bank facility and the landscape plan. That's all I have at this time and I will stand for any question. Borup: Questions from the Commission? Centers: Yes, Mr. Chairman. Steve, could you go back to the site -- well, right here is fine so the traffic is moving in this way and, actually, they will be along Overland Road - - or perpendicular to Overland Road? Siddoway: Yes Overland Road is at the top of the drawing here. Centers: Okay. Siddoway: Eagle Road is further over here. It doesn't quite touch. If we go back to the -- this vicinity map, that site sits on like a portion of this lot right in here. Centers: Right. Siddoway: So Eagle Road -- or Eagle Road is further over to the west. Overland Road runs along the north side of it. There is a driveway opening on Overland Road at this location. It would come in and circulate through this way. Borup: It would be facing the parcel to the west. Centers: Right. Mathes: Is this the same one TCBY and Moxie Java was one a couple months ago? Siddoway: The same site? Mathes: The same parcel yes. Siddoway: I don't believe so. Mathes: Or is that the one right over? Borup: They were southwest. Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting January 2. 2003 Page 3 of 57 Zaremba: Southwest south and west. The little pie shaped lot. Sharing a driveway with this one. Borup: Yes. They were re -- they were reconfiguring all those lots in there. Okay. Is the applicant's representative here and would like to come forward? Anything else you would like to add to the staff's presentation? Huse: My name is Casey Huse. I'm with Lombard-Conrad Architects, representing Albertson's Employees Federal Credit Union in this application. We have reviewed the application and the staff report and have no issues with it. Borup: Yes. I think probably the only thing we -- one additional comment we would need to make and that is concerning the parcel number that was misidentified. Huse: Yes. Borup: There could be some concem on the notification and if -- well, first of all, we'd like to get a new notification out to those possible three parcels that may not have been notified and just a s long as the a pplicant realizes if there is a no bjection it could be remanded back or-- Huse: Yes we understand. Borup: Or something along that line. Huse: Yes. There is another posting for the City Council. Borup: Right. There would still be another full hearing at City Council and notification and everything any other questions? Any questions of any Commissioners? All right. Thank you. Do we have anyone here to testify on this application? Seeing none, Commissioners? Centers: I would move that we close the Public Hearing, Mr. Chairman. Zaremba: Second. Borup: Motion and second to close the Public Hearing. All in favor? Any opposed? MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, ONE ABSENT Centers: Mr. Chairman, I had noted on my notes here approval as a formality, especially with no objections and the traffic to the drive-up is along a major thoroughfare, no residential use hampered. I'd like to make a motion to approve CUP 02-043, a request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Development for drive- thru facilities on a pre-approved bank in a C-C zone on .89 acres for Albertson's Employees Federal Credit Union by Albertson's Employees Federal Credit Union. Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting January 2,2003 Page 4 of 57 South of East Overland Road and east of South Eagle Road, with the applicant understanding that certain notices have to be made. And that if those notices, once received by the property owners, if there are objections, that there could -- you could see this hearing back at the Planning and Zoning in the future and the application is nodding their head that they understand that. Of course, that will be part of the conditions approval. End of motion. Zaremba: I will second it. Borup: Motion and second. All in favor? Anyopposed? Thank you. MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, ONE ABSENT Borup: Our next item -- Zaremba: I would only comment for the general public that are here that may not attend very many of these meetings, you probably are aware that there is a requirement in the state law to notify any property owner within 300 feet of the applicant. Because this parcel was misidentified, somebody who is actually within 300 feet of where the property really is was not notified. We are not waiving any of the notification requirements, but since this one seems to be a slam dunk, we are moving it forward and if it -- if the person who eventually will be notified objects, it will come back to us again. Item 5. Public Hearing: PP 02.028 Request for Preliminary Plat approval of 7 building lots and 1 other lot on 12.081 acres in an I-L zone for Gemtone Center Subdivision No.4 by Thomas T. Wright - west of North Eagle Road and west of East Pine Avenue: Borup: Okay. I think we have received -- we received a letter in our packet concerning the next item and that is of a Commercial Subdivision, Gemstone Center. They have requested, because of some items they want to work out with ACHD, to have this item deferred to our January 16th Agenda. Zaremba: Mr. Chairman? Borup: I have looked at that Agenda and it seems that we are fine on the items. Zaremba: I would move that we table the hearing on PP 02-028 until our meeting on January 16, 2003. Mathes: Second. Borup: Motion and second. All in favor? Any opposed? MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, ONE ABSENT
