Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 3, 2007 Page 5 of 62 Overland Road for Pfost Property by Thomas & JoAnn Pfost - 1205 W. Overland Road: Siddoway: Okay. Now, at this time I'd like to open the Public Hearing on AZ 07-005, related to the Pfost property and begin with the staff report. Watters: Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, the application before you is a request for annexation and zoning of 1.46 acres of land from RUT, Ada County, to R-4, medium low density residential. The property is located at 1205 West Overland Road on the south side West Overland, approximately a quarter mile east of South Linder Road. You can see here it's this kind of triangular shaped property right there. Rural residential property zoned RUT in Ada County surrounds the property on the east, west, and south, with vacant industrial property to the north, zoned I-L. This site is currently improved with one single family residential home and this is an aerial view of the property. The house sits over here on the corner. And accessory outbuildings. The applicant's request for annexation is based upon the fact the well that services this home is located in the path of the Overland Road widening project. For this reason the applicants are requesting annexation as a stipulation of being hooked up to city water. Sewer is not yet available to this property. However, staff has requested a development agreement be required with a provision that the applicant hook up to city sewer within six months of service being available to this property and that the applicant be responsible for all costs associated with sewer service installation, including payment of sewer assessments. That's a picture of the existing house on the property here. The requested R-4 zoning district complies with the Comprehensive Plan future land use designation of medium density residential for this property. Staff is recommending approval of the subject annexation and zoning request to R-4 as stated in the staff report. And that's all staff has, unless the Commission has questions. Rohm: Good. Thank you very much. Any questions of staff? Siddoway: I have none. Rohm: Okay. Would the applicant like to come forward, please, and state your name and address for the record. Pfost: I'm Thomas L. Pfost, 1205 West Overland Road, Meridian. Rohm: Okay. Thank you. It's pretty apparent what the application is for and I would presume that you're in agreement with the staff report? Pfost: Yes. Rohm: Okay. All right. Do you have any questions of us? Pfost: No, I don't. Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 3, 2007 Page 6 of 62 Rohm: Okay. Is there any questions from the Commission of this applicant? Siddoway: I have none. Newton-Huckabay: None. Rohm: Go ahead, Tom. O'Brien: Well, you're asking to hook up to city water; is that correct? Pfost: Yes. O'Brien: And what was your alternative plan? Pfost: Another well. Dig another well. O'Brien: And whose responsibility do you think that was -- or should be if you had to dig your own -- dig another well? Pfost: It was our well. It's our responsibility. O'Brien: I was just curious as to how that process worked with you. I have, I guess, a question for staff. Maybe you can help me out with this. So, it was -- you would be hooking up -- if he wasn't able to hook up to -- to water, for instance, with the city, and its only a single parcel we are being asked to annex, is it the responsibility of the city to relocate his well? No? Watters: Chairman Rohm, Commissioner O'Brien, Commissioners, it is not the responsibility of the city to relocate his well. He could stay in the county and, like he said, drill another well. But he is adjacent to city ground and he is requesting annexation for city services. O'Brien: Okay. Watters: Be water at this point. O'Brien: I didn't quite understand how that process worked with that, if something else was going on. Thank you. Rohm: Okay. Thank you, sir. Okay. There is not anybody that has signed up to testify to this application, but if anyone would like to come forward, now is that time. Okay. Seeing none, could I get a motion close this Public Hearing? Siddoway: So moved. Moe: Second. Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission May 3, 2007 Page 7 of 62 Rohm: It's been moved and seconded to close the Public Hearing on PF -- excuse me - - on AZ 07-005. All those in favor say aye. Opposed same sign? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Moe: Mr. Chairman? Rohm: Commissioner Moe. Moe: After considering all staff, applicant, and the testimony, I move to recommend approval to the City Council of file number AZ 07-005 as presented in the staff report for the hearing of May 3rd, 2007. End of motion. Siddoway: Second. Rohm: It's been moved and seconded to forward onto City Council recommending approval of AZ 07-005. All those in favor say aye. Opposed same sign? Motion carried.

Item 9: Public Hearing: CUP 07-006 Request for a Conditional Use Permit for the operation of an animal care facility in an L-O zone for Liddell Veterinary Clinic by Falash & Ross Construction - 2300 W. Everest Lane: Rohm: Very good. All right. At this time I'd like to open the Public Hearing on CUP 07- 005, related to Veterinary -- Liddell Veterinary Clinic and begin with the staff report. Watters: Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, the application before you is a request for a Conditional Use Permit for an animal care facility in an L-O zone by Falash & Ross Construction. The site is located at 2250 West Everest Lane on the south side of Chinden Boulevard, approximately a half a mile west of North Linder Road. You can see on the site here these two little cross-hatched parcels. Directly north of the site across Chinden is vacant property, zoned TNC. To the east is vacant property zoned L- O. To the south are single family homes in Lochsa Falls Subdivision, zoned R-4. And to the west is vacant property zoned L-O. Here is an aerial view of the property. And here is a current photo of the site, showing two existing buildings on the top photo south of the site and, then, the bottom photo shows the view looking towards Chinden. Vacant. The Unified Development Code requires conditional use approval for animal care facilities proposed in the L-O zone. This site previously received detailed CUP approval for the building locations on the subject lot and adjacent lot in Hastings Subdivision. Also, a certificate of zoning compliance was approved for the building, shell, and core proposed for this site. Here is a site plan. The proposed building is centered over these two lots here. One 6,862 square foot multi-tenant building is
