Notes:
10/ 16/2007
Project: Gardner Ahlquist
Location: SE corner of Eagle and Franklin
Applications: DA amendment, variance, and vacation
Highlights of Proposed Development:
Variance:
~;
If approved, the landscape Variance would allow the Applicant to count up to 35 feet of the
adjacent Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) right-of--way (ROVE toward the required street
landscape buffer along N. Eagle Road, an entryway corridor. It would also allow for a reduction
in 5 feet for a limited portion of the required street buffer. Staff recommends approval.
Vacation:
The easements proposed to be vacated were created on the Montvue Park Subdivision plat and
include all utility, drainage, and irrigation easements for Montvue Park Subdivision i'inder the
ownership of the applicant. The easements are no longer needed for the proposed commercial
subdivision. Staff recommends approval.
Development Agreement Modification
The Applicant requests to modify several provisions of the recorded Development Agreement
(DA) for Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway (Instrument # 107099628) and to consolidate that with the
provisions contained in the Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway South DA (Instrument #107134668). The
two existing DA's would be replaced with one agreement containing provisions that apply to the
overall development.
Staff has compared the two existing DAs and has made sure that all of the applicable provisions
of the Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway South DA have been included in the proposed modifications to
the Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway DA.
The Applicant has requested that Sectionsl.l, 1.9, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 16 be modified to reflect
Developer information instead of Owner information. The Ada County Tax Assessor's records
indicate that Meridian Medical Plaza, Gardner Kem C Family Partnership, Joseph Verska, and
Samuel Jorgenson all own lots within the development. Staff does not support. Because the DA
determines how the property wilt develop in the future and is tied to the land, atl of the owners
of the property must sign the agreement.
The Applicant has requested that provision #5.1.6 be modified to allow between 300,000-
400,000 square feet of office space, 52,000-74,000 square feet of retail space and a 140,000-
200,000 square foot hotel consistent with the concept plan approved for this development with
Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway South; and be required to have a minimum of thirteen buildings
within the development, nine on phase 1 (Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway) and four on phase 2
(Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway South). Staff supports the requested changes previously
mentioned.
Additionally, the Applicant requests an increase to the maximum square footage allowed for
single buildings to 225,000 square feet. Staff supports this request with the added provision that
no building footprint shall exceed 75,000 square feet.
10/ 16/2007
Staff does not support the Applicant's request to modify the proposed height of the hotel
through the DA process.
Elevations: Yes (previously tied to the DA)
Written Testimony since Staff Report: none ^
Outstanding Issue(s) for City Council: please see bold italic notes above for staff
recommendations.
Clarifications:
1) The existing elevations (as shown tonight) tied to the DA should remain in the DA.
2) The legal descriptions included in Exhibit A.7 of the staff report (which shows both the
northern and southern portions of the development) should be included in the DA to
replace the original legal description for the northern portion of the development
(Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway).
