EXHIBIT B
Compliance-- Lowe's Vendor Code of Conduct
This Vendor Code of Conduct ("Code")applies to all vendors who provide goods and services ("Vendors")to Lowe's
Companies, Inc., or to any of its subsidiaries and affiliates ("Lowe's"). Vendors must be committed to the highest
standards of ethical conduct in their business practices. This Code sets forth the basic requirements that all Vendors
must comply with in order to do business with Lowe's. If Lowe's believes that any Vendor has violated this Code,
Lowe's has the right to terminate its business relationship with the Vendor and to proceed to secure any and all rights
or remedies available. Lowe's reserves the right to make reasonable changes to the Code's requirements, and the
latest version of the Code can be found on Lowe's websites and vendor portals, or as otherwise specified in any
agreement between Lowe's and the Vendors.
A. Business Integrity and Ethics
1. Compliance with Laws and Lowe's Policies:Vendors must fully comply with all applicable laws,regulations,
and with Lowe's policies published on its vendor portals, including but not limited to, the Human Rights Policy, Safer
Chemicals Policy, Conflict Minerals Policy, and Wood Sourcing Policy. To the extent that Lowe's policies impose a
higher standard than what is required by any applicable law or regulation, Lowe's policies will prevail.
2. Conflicts-of-Interest:Vendors will not engage in any activity which could create either the appearance of, or
an actual conflict-of-interest, between the personal interests of Lowe's associates or their immediate family members
and Lowe's interests.
3. Gifts and Benefits: Lowe's prohibits Vendors from giving gifts or entertainment exceeding nominal value to
Lowe's associates or their immediate family members. The following types of gifts and entertainment may never be
offered, regardless of value: cash or cash equivalents (i.e. gift cards); gifts that are or could be illegal; gifts or
entertainment (including meals, transportation and travel accommodations) offered in connection with an inspection,
audit,or during a bidding process involving the Vendor,or anything offered to an agent or consultant working on behalf
of Lowe's in connection with an inspection,audit,or bidding process involving the Vendor. This policy remains in effect
during traditional gift-giving seasons.
4. Former Lowe's Associates: For a period of one year following separation, Lowe's will not conduct business
with a former Lowe's employee operating on Vendor's behalf if the business relates to an area in which the former
employee worked or had influence while employed by Lowe's.
5. Sourcing: Lowe's encourages all Vendors supplying goods and services to Lowe's U.S. and Canada stores
or facilities,to share Lowe's commitment,where possible,to utilizing small,woman, minority,veteran,disability,and/or
LGBTQ-owned businesses for subcontracting opportunities in connection with Lowe's contracts. For information
regarding this requirement, Vendors supplying or seeking to supply goods and services to U.S. stores or facilities

RE: Denial of Temporary Use Permit Application No. TUP-26-0066
Dear Mr. Bower,
This letter is to inform you that the above-referenced application for a City of Meridian Temporary Use Permit
is hereby denied,pursuant to Meridian City Code section 3-4-7(C),which reads, in relevant part:
The City Clerk shall deny an application for a temporary use permit where a permit is applied for on a
parcel that already has or has had an approved temporary use permit issued for one hundred twenty
(120) calendar days,whether such days are consecutive or not, per property, per calendar year.
The property at 305 W. Overland Rd. (Ada County Parcel#S 1224110310) has already hosted a temporary sales
unit for 120 days within this calendar year. For this reason, you may not operate a temporary sales unit at this
address for the remainder of the year.
You may appeal this decision by delivering a written appeal stating the reasons for such appeal to the Meridian
City Clerk's Office, via U.S. Mail, or in person to 33. E. Broadway Ave., Meridian, ID 83642 by 5:00 p.m. on
June 5, 2026. Upon receipt of such appeal, my office will schedule a public hearing on the appeal at a City
Council meeting within thirty(30) days. The City Council's decision on such appeal shall be a final decision.
Sincerely,
Chris Johnson, Meridian City Clerk

RE:Appeal of Temporary Use Permit Application No. TUP-26-0066
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to respectfully request a review and reconsideration regarding the Temporary Use
Permit and location approval for our snow cone shack located at 305 W Overland Rd, Meridian,
ID 83642.
We understand the current concern relates to having multiple permitted businesses operating
within the same parking lot area. We are hoping for consideration in this, as we have made sure
that our location will have a safe distance from World's Best Comdogs, in addition they are not
there daily, where we would be for the duration of the summer.
It does appear that the property was recently rezoned into multiple parcels,which appears to
demonstrate that the site can reasonably support multiple uses and separate business operations
within the same overall lot configuration.
Given this recent zone adjustment,we would like to request consideration for allowing multiple
Temporary Use Permits within the parking area, particularly for temporary or seasonal
businesses such as ours. Our operation is not permanent in nature and will only be active until
Labor Day Weekend. Due to the short-term seasonal timeframe,we believe the impact on traffic,
parking, and surrounding businesses will remain minimal.
Our goal is to operate responsibly, comply with all safety and health requirements, and contribute
positively to the local business community during our temporary seasonal operation. This
business was to be used as a way for our teenagers to earn their own way to summer camp, as
well as begin a college savings. We are more than willing to work with the city/county on any
reasonable conditions or accommodations necessary to ensure compliance and maintain orderly
use of the property.
We respectfully ask that the permitting authority review our situation and consider an exception,
adjustment, or interpretation that would allow our temporary snow cone shack permit to move
forward despite the shared parking lot arrangement.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and willingness to review our request. We sincerely
appreciate the opportunity to discuss this matter further and provide any additional information
that may assist in your decision.
Sincerely,

CERTIFICATE OF ZONING COMPLIANCE CHANGE OF USE REPORT
Project Number CZCU-2026-0002
Project Name Medimont Industrial Building (Lot 4,Block 2)
Project Address 100 S. Adkins Way, Suite 104
Project Description Request to allow professional office use
(Ketlinski&Ketlinski)with personal vehicle
space as storage in Suite#104 on 0.98 acres in
an existin I-L zoning district.
Applicant Amber DeKruyf, Clark/Wardle
Assigned Planner Stacy Hersh
I. DECISION
The City has received and reviewed your Certificate of Zoning Compliance Change of Use
application requesting approval to allow a professional services use, specifically a law office,
within an existing building located in the Light Industrial(I-L)zoning district.
After careful review,the request is not consistent with the City's zoning regulations and cannot
be approved. "Professional service"is not a permitted use within the I-L zoning district. In
addition,the request and submitted tenant space floor plan do not qualify as flex space,which is
defined as"small scale warehousing and/or light industry with associated office and/or retail
showroom space."When an entire building is occupied by one user,the City analyzes the
building as whole. When a building includes multiple tenant spaces,however,the City analyzes
each tenant space separately(i.e., each portion of the building separately). Use of the tenant space
here for a law office does not constitute flex space because it does not involve"small scale
warehousing and/or light industry with associated office and/or retail showroom space."
Based on these findings,the subject application is hereby denied.
II. CITY COUNCIL REVIEW
The applicant or affected person may request City Council review of the subject decision. All
requests for review shall be filed in writing with the Planning Division on or before April 16,
2026,within fifteen(15) days after the written decision is issued, and contain the information
listed in UDC 11-5A-6B.
If City Council review of the decision is not requested,the action of the Director represents a
final decision on a land use application. You have the right to request a regulatory taking analysis
under Idaho Code 67-8003.
