All those in favor say aye. Opposed same sign? Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 8: Public Hearing: PFP 07-002 Request for a Combined Preliminary/Final Plat to subdivide Lot 4, Block 1, Devon Park Subdivision No.2, to create two (2) new lots for Devon Park North by Doug Tamura - 1960 North Lakes Place: Rohm: At this time I'd like to open the Public Hearing on PFP 07-002 related to Devon Park North and begin with the staff report. Hess: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. The application before you is another request for a preliminary/final plat approval. The subject property totals approximately four and a half acres and is located within the Fairview Lakes Devon Park development. Fairview Lakes Devon Park is generally located at the intersection of Fairview Avenue and North Lakes. And that's right here. The applicant is proposing to subdivide Lot 4, Block 1, of Devon Park Subdivision No. 2 into two new lots. And we will jump to the plat there. The new lot sizes total approximately three and a quarter acres and 1.4 acres. The new subdivision is currently zoned -- or the subject subdivision is currently zoned R-15. Primary access to the site, as stated before. is from Fairview Avenue via North Lakes. Secondary access currently provided from East Clarene Street, which is to the east of the subdivision. All accesses are existing and have received prior approval through ACHD. The only issue to mention here is further requirement of the planned development for the subject site, a multi-use pathway was required on this development. On the submitted landscape plan it halfway dead ends approximately 40 feet south of the north property line and the Meridian Parks Department requests that the applicant construct the remaining pathway, which is this portion up here, to terminate at the northwest corner of the site. Otherwise, staff has no concerns with this proposal. Therefore. staff is supportive of Devon Park North Subdivision. That's all staff has, unless the Commission has questions. Rohm: Thank you very much. Any questions of staff? Mae: I have none. Siddoway: Is there anything built on this site right now? Hess: Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, actually, I think CZCs have been issued and all the building permits for this site have already been issued to -- this Alzheimer's care unit has already been constructed. This is the living phase -- I think has already been constructed and the only thing that I think is not constructed at this point -- this is just a concrete slab or a pad right now and that is the future congregate Meridian Planning & Zoning May 17, 2007 Page 20 of 38 care. But that has received a certificate of zoning compliance and is underway as far as construction goes. Siddoway: Thank you. Rohm: Okay. Would the applicant like to come forward, please? Hines: My name is Linda Hines. I live at 4356 North Ninth Ridge, Boise, Idaho. Rohm: Okay. Have you read through the staff report? Hines: Kind of generally. I'm an owner of the property, along with Doug Tamura. We are both partners and owners and he could not make it, so he asked me to step in. Rohm: Basically, then, if -- unless you had some testimony to offer, then, it really would be just a request that you would respond to the staff report as presented and if you're in agreement -- Hines: We are in agreement, yes. Rohm: Okay. There you go. That's what we needed. Thank you. All right. And, again, we do not have anybody that has signed up to testify to this application, but if there is anyone in the audience that would like to step forward and testify now is that time. Moe: Mr. Chairman? Rohm: Commissioner Moe. Moe: I move we close the Public Hearing on PFP 07-002. Siddoway: Second. Rohm: It's been moved and seconded to close the Public Hearing on PFP 07-002.

Moe: After considering all staff, applicant, and the public testimony, I move to recommend approval to City Council of file number PFP 07-002 as presented during the hearing of May 17, 2007. Meridian Planning & Zoning May 17, 2007 Page 21 of 38 Siddoway: Second. But I need some discussion real quick, just for -- I just want to make sure that the -- that pathway requirement is in the condition of approval. Moe: She said it was in there. Siddoway: I'm just making sure. It was listed as an outstanding issue. I just wanted to make sure that it was in there and didn't need to be added. Moe: My motion was that that was in the report. Siddoway: Okay. My second stands. Rohm: Okay. It's been moved and seconded that we forward onto City Council recommending approval PFP 07-002, to include all staff report. All those in favor say aye.

Broadway Avenue for Vanbragt Property by Maria Vanbragt - 305 W. Broadway Avenue: Rohm: Thanks for coming in. At this time I'd like to open the Public Hearing on RZ 07- 007 related to the Vanbragt project and begin with the staff report. Watters: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. The application before you is a rezone for the property located at 305 West Broadway Avenue. The applicant has requested this property be rezoned from I-L, light industrial, to the OT, Old Town zoning district. The subject property is generally located on the southwest corner of West Broadway Avenue and Northwest 3rd Street there. The site contains an existing single family home. To the east, west, and south of the property are single family homes zoned I-L. To the north and northeast are single family homes and an apartment complex zoned R-15. This is the photos of the site. This property and other neighboring properties to the east and west were originally developed as residential properties, but were rezoned at some point supposedly for industrial development that never occurred. Currently the use of the property as a residence is considered a nonconforming use and may not be enlarged except through conditional use approval. The applicant would like to rezone the property, so that the existing residence is a conforming use in the zone, so that they can enlarge the existing house and improve the property. Staff is recommending approval of the requested rezone from I-L to OT as stated in the staff report. That's all staff has, unless the Commission has questions. Rohm: Thank you very much. Any questions of staff? Newton-Huckabay: I have none.
