I will close the Public Hearing. The Motion. was made by Alidjani and seconded by Hopper to have the attorney prepare Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law for this request. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #6: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION & ZONING W/PRELIMINARY PLAT: MAWS ADDITION: Chairman Johnson: I will open the Public Hearing. Is there a reps^esentative from the applicant present? We did receive today one letter that Jack has entered into our record. Basically it's a concern from Dennis Baker not interested in the vacation of Adkins Lane. mat Teely, 479 Main, Boise, was sworn by the attorney. Teely: This application is for an R-B zone on 9.39 acres, the total subdivision comprises 43 lots for a density of 4.6 units per acre. Well below the density allowed for an R-8 zone however ~ we need that for the dimensional, in other words to get down to ~O foot wide lots. We believe this is consistent with the zoning that you have provide for Mr. Baker in the Danbury Subdivision area. We are providing for the' extra right of way for improvements to Pi^.e Street and to Locust Grove and wi 11 5~!il~~ these in conjunction with the application. Water and sewer will also be extended north on Locust Grove as part of this application. We have read the Engineer's comments and don't have any problems with what he's requested. Can I answer any quest ions"' Hepper: Do you have any landscaping figured? Teely: There's nothing shown here but we ,will landscape along the Loc~_~st Grove and Pine Street in order to buffer the subdivision. Hepper: :Jill there be curd, gutter ar.d sidewa?k? Teely: That's correct. MERIDIAN PLANNING APRIL 14, 1992 PAGE c0 S ZONING Jewell: The exchange was in regard to right of ways within the property and ACRD has asked us to resubmit a letter, they prefer that we just go in a vacate it rather than go over it with exchanges. The only other thing was the wetland areas. The wet areas have never been identified or dedicated as wetlands. The well lot and the property north of that are in fact lower than our development, e'VcY`ytiling drains that way. cur intentions are to intercept it and to drain it off into Ten Mile before it gets to that property. Actually what we will be doing is improving the well lot for Counts^y Terrace Subdivision. Gage: In his original testimony I believe he touched on building this road we are concerned about, yet he just stated that he couldn't possibly afford to build a bridge across Ten Mile Creek, my question is who are we kidding.. You don't build a bridge across Ten. Mile Creek you can't get access to the subdivision. Jewell: .There is suggestion that we implied there would be a road from our development to Meridian Road, this has never been. Chairman Johnson: Thank you. Anyone else? Larry Bert ett o, 665 Ar.t igua, was sworn by the attorney. Bertetto: The question I'd like to ask is this subdivision going to connect to 3rd Way in Meridian Greens? Chairman Johnson: I think the Meridian Greens #2 I think they designate that area south. ,The extension of ?rd.StreP± would be whet^e the road would connect but on this plat it doesn't show 3rd Street going down that far south. Hepper: Would there be a problem with emergency vehicles having only one access. Alidjani: Yes you do. Jewell: The extension to the future Meridian Greens was my original concept because that was the way that they were going to develop that in the future. I approached the owners engineers on it and presented them my conceptual design .and asked them if they could foresee any problem at the time, naturally they couldn't comment on it but I left word for them to let me know if there were. The owner of the property should have had access for this information. :f there is no lot, that is correct we do not gave legal access. t ~~ ~ ~ MERIDIAN PLANNING & ZONING APRIL 14, 1992 PAGE ~2 Hepper: From the edge of the sidewalk to the property line how much landscape area will there be? Teely: We had originally intended for 20 feet. Whatever it would take to build a maintainable four foot berm along there. Hepper: Would the property line be at the top of the berm? Teely: That would be at the right of way at Locust Grove and Pine. There will be a landscape easement in there. Hepper: I see on the map you've 'got a couple duplex lots indicated. '"' Teely: Correct. .Hepper: I didn't see anything on the application. Do you plan on applying for a couple duplex lots then? Teely: Yes we do. Hepper: Do you have a minimum square footage in mind for the duplexes? Teely: The developer, Mr. Gregory could probably address that better than I. Hepper: What's--your minimum square footage proposal for the ,building lots? Teely: We designated 10@0 sq. feet. We would like to keep it between l~~and 1100 sq. feet minimum. Steve Gregory, 1135 N. Mitchell, was sworn by the attorney. Discussion on Mr. Baker's letter. (See Tape) Hepper: Do you have a minimum square footage for the duplexes? Gregory: Probably 1050 per ,unit.

Locust Grove, was sworn by the attorney. ,_irk MERIDIAN PLANNING 8 ZCNING APRIL 14, 1992 PAGE ~3 Parcells: Concerns about traffic impact and a traffic light at Locust Grove and Fairview. I awn five acres that is just north of the aroposed subdivision. The other question I have would be concerning a drainage ditch that runs along the fence line of my property and the proposed subdivision property. Clerk Niemann: Ordinance states they have to t he the, ditch. Chairman Johnson: Thank you. Anyone else? Dale Newberry, High Micro Tool, 1410 E. Pine, .was sworn by the attorney,. Newberry: I just wonder about the advisability of running residential up so close to industrial. With Hi-Micro on the east and the other 52 acres on the south side, there's a large portion that is designated industrial. I seems separation would be good. Concerns about traffic problems because of the buses. The industrial area out there is growing slowly and it seems like the residential is promoted out there it will. deter that industrial growth. Chairman Johnsen: Thank you. Anyone else? Don Bryan, 070 N. Locust Grove, was sworn by the attorney. Bryan: I'm here for the same concerns I've had the last couple years, which are school overcrowding and additional traffic. Chairman ,Johnson: Thank you. We really appreciate your comments on that. There is no question but what - we know that our infrastructure is being stressed with all the development here. (Further explanation - see tape) We did try to make some headway or. the water problem. Bryan : Yes but we' ve made it worse. Atty. Crookston: I received a call yesterday from Andy Harrington, who is the attorney for Nampa Meridian Irrigation District and he clarified apparently a previous offer he made to our City Engineer that Nampa Meridian, and this is tentative, he is going to do some research as to what the' developers, what rights the developers had obtained from Nampa Meridian to do what they did in that Jackson Stub drain. He said also that tentatively they would do the .work and they would pay for the costs if the City would obtain the rights to go on the property to replace that 18" line with a cc^4" line. t ~i ~~• MERIDIAN PLANNING & ZONIhJG APP.IL 14, 1992 PAGE 24 Cr^ookston: I don't think the City has a responsibility but iF we can be a instigator of solving the problem, that's up to the Council but the City may be interested in doing that.

Is there someone representing the school who would like to come forward? Chuck Liehe, b00 N. Edgewood Lane, Eagle, was sworn by the attorney. Liehe: I'm representing the Meridian School District tonight and we are requesting a conditional use permit to move the Alternative School from the 2 1/2 Street address to the end of Lanar^k Street. The reasons are, first of all we own the property and its larger it would accommodate the school. Evidentally the adjoining property owners don't care because we've had no negative comments about us moving it there and the District has budgeted money to move it. I'll answer Questions if you have any. Chairman Johnson: There is a letter from Bill Curtis and is in reference to this request.. Letter was read aloud. Alidjani: Did you have any problem with the Engineer's comments? Liehe: No problem with the City Engineer's comments. Chairman. Johnson: Thank you. Anyone else?

What is it going `o accomplish to move these buildings down there? Chairman Johnson: I really don't have any answers to that. Haws: But it's on a dead end str°eet, that's going to create more problems in an industrial area. Discussion.

You have a lot of good concerns and a lot of those tt;ings will need to be answered by the School District. Thank you. Anyone else? No response. I will close the Public Hearins.
