Thx! From: Tamara Thompson [mailto:tthompson@landmarkdevgroup.com] Sent: Monday, June 25, 2007 6:02 PM To: Sonya Watters Subject: DA Modification w Gateway Marketplace Here's the revised cover letter. This is the best I can do for legal descriptions. The old Kissler deed may be for the entire property, I'm not sure, it doesn't give an acreage at the end. Otherwise the two parcels from the boundary line adjustment is included along with a picture. I still owe you the property posting affidavit (btw- I've never submitted this before, ever) and a picture ofthe posting. I will get to you Wed at the latest. Please let me know if there is anything else. Thanks. landmark :lfl'il:!Ivprrrenl gf\JlJpALC Tamara L. Thompson Landmar1< Development Group, LLC tthon:m~on@landmarkdevgroup.com 2462 East Sunshine Drive Boise, 10 83712 208.342.4516 208.342.4515 fax 6/26/2007 landmark development group, LLC May 9, 2007 City of Meridian Anna Borchers Canning, Planning Director 660 East Watertower Lane, Suite 202 Meridian, Idaho 83642 RE: Gateway Marketplace - SEe Ustick and Eagle Road, Meridian, Idaho Development Agreement Modification Dear Ms. Canning: The property (22.85 acres) was annexed as part of the Kissler Annexation and associated Development Agreement (DA) in April 2004 under the name Kissler Annexation File No AZ-03-018, Instrument number 104107406; and the Kissler Dealy Annexation and associated Development Agreement (DA) in June 2004 under the name Kissler Dealy Annexation File No. AZ-03-022, Instrument number 104093292. Both DA's require that any future use be approved through a site-specific CUP application or a PD. Since we have detailed preliminary plat approval outlining building locations, design guidelines, utilities, landscaping, etc.; a CUP is no longer necessary. At the time of the Kissler and Kissler Dealy Annexations a specific development plan was not proposed. The Kissler DA covered a total of36.33 acres and the Kissler Dealy DA covered a total of5 acres with a variety of proposed commercial uses. Since only a "conceptual plan" was submitted with the annexations, the City needed a CUP requirement to have a comfort level regarding development. City Council approval was obtained on July 18, 2006 for a detailed preliminary plat application for the Gateway Marketplace. We are currently preparing construction documents for our on- and off-site improvements, and our final plat for submittal. During the preliminary plat process we submitted design guidelines for the shopping center. The intent at that time was that the DA requirement of each building and use having to apply for a CUP be eliminated and replaced with the condition of obtaining a Certificate of Zoning Compliance at staff level. Additionally, several of our preliminary plat conditions of approval (such as access onto Eagle Road and the location ofa frontage road) are contradictory to the DA. To finalize our approvals and clean up discrepancies, a DA modification is necessary. Specific sections of the Kissler DA for revision: Section 4.1 - Eliminate the last sentence stating, "all uses shall be required to go through the Conditional Use Permit process for approval." 2462 Sunshine Drive Boise, 10 83712 _':~ ,< 208.34245-16-> 2083424515 Replace with, "all buildings shall require approval of design review at staff level submitted prior to or concurrent with the Certificate of Zoning application and prior to submitting for building permit. Section 5 - Clarify that it is the intent that all uses that require a CUP in the CG zone will still have to obtain a CUP for the use. Section 6.A.3 through 6.E.l- Eliminate all. Replace with, "It shall be required that all future uses within the boundaries of the Gateway Marketplace comply with the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Decision & Order for PP~06-002, V AR-06-002, and the site specific and standard conditions of approval as shown in the attached Staff Report for the hearing date of July 18, 2006 incorporated by reference. Section 15. Add a provision to allow for a bond, letter of credit, CD, etc for a timeframe of 6 months for improvements such as landscaping in lieu of installing and City acceptance. This will allow for occupancy during winter months. Exhibit A Include the legal descriptions for Gateway Marketplace. Exhibit B Attach the City of Meridian Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Decision & Order for PP-06-002 and V AR-06~002. Eliminate all reference to the Conceptual Master Plan since we've replaced with a detailed preliminary plat site plan. , The newly modified Kissler DA should replace the Kissler Dealy DA.
