The applicant, Clayton Jones, testified in favor of the application.

about congestion on the property and submitted photos into the record.

Phil Atteberry, representing KFC, testified with concerns about the drive thru
stacking into the drive aisle and blocking access to KFC; he also had concerns about

be fine as long as it does not have a drive thru.
?
Jonathan Gibbs, owner of the property, testified about parking arrangements for the
properties he owns and that the ‘Welcome to Meridian’ sign would not be allowed at
the location depicted on the site plan because of his lease with KFC.

Key issues of discussion and questioning by the Commission included:
1.‘Welcome to Meridian’ monument sign amenity.
2.Congestion, circulation, stacking and parking.
Key Commission Changes to Staff Recommendation:
?
None
Outstanding Issues for City Council:
?
The motion noted that the applicant must come prepared to the Council meeting ready
to discuss the “second amenity”. Since the property owner testified that the
‘Welcome to Meridian’ would not be allowed on the property as shown, the applicant
agreed to approach ACHD about a license agreement to place it in the right-of-way.
If the sign is placed in the right-of way, the requirement for an easement (in condition
#2) will not be needed.
?
SSC comments state that access to the trash enclosure is not adequate and that the
planter in front of it must be cut to provide drive-on ability for their trucks. This issue
was not discussed at the Commission hearing. SSC’s comments have been added to
the recommendation to facilitate discussion of the issue.
