and I am here given credit for taking the vote, but you, Mr. Chairman, took the vote. On
page three, the very top sentence where I am speaking, I would like to add some
punctuation for clarification. I say just: Just for clarification, I'm Sony, Steve, that parcel
is not being rezoned. Period. Correct? Question mark. Not corrected, but, the word
correct with a question mark and a period after rezoned. Those are my only changes.
Borup: Okay. Any other comments? Do we have a motion and -motion would be on
all the items.
Zaremba: Mr. Chairman, I move we accept the Consent Agenda with the minutes of
February 6 as modified.
Centers: Second.
Borup: Motion and second. All in favor? Any opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item 4: Public Hearing: AZ 03-001 Request for annexation and zoning of
10.006 acres from RUT to L-0 zones for Central Valley Baptist Church
by Central Valley Baptist Church -east of North Ten Mile Road and
south of West Pine Avenue:
Borup: Item number -- the first Public Hearing is Public Hearing AZ 03-001, a request
for annexation and zoning of 10.006 acres from RUT to L-0 zones for Central Valley
Baptist Church by Central Valley Baptist Church. This is east of North Ten Mile and
south of West Pine Avenue. I'd like to open this hearing at this time and start with the
staff report.
Siddoway: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. The subject
property that is proposed for annexation is at the northeast comer of the railroad and
North Ten Mile Road. You can see the existing character of the ground in the air photo.
A large lot, rural residential, county parcels, and this is the subject property here.. They
did submit a proposed site plan with the annexation request, so that the Commission
and Council could get a feel for their intent in annexing this property. It is for a church
campus for Central Valley Baptist Church. You should have a staff report dated
February 13th from Sonya and Bruce. It is just over ten acres in size. The requested
zone is Limited Office, which a church would be a permitted use in, and there are some
notes under G on page three about adequate public services, saying that we find that
they may be served adequately by all essentially public services and they will either
have to construct a temporary lift station to get sewer service or participate with
developers of adjacent lands to get service to their lots, but that it can work under one of
those scenarios. I believe that's all I need to go over right now. Staff does recommend
approval of the annexation and zoning request. The recommendation at the end
incorrectly states an R-8 zone. It is L-0 that they are requesting. And with that
correction I will stand for any questions.

Borup: Questions from any of the Commissioners?
Zaremba: I have one. My reading the list of surrounding properties, they are all Ada
county. Do we have any contiguousness with Meridian city limits anyplace? The
southeast parcel?
Siddoway: The southeast parcel and the railroad tracks up to this point are annexed, so
though it's surrounded, really, on three sides -- well, on four sides, all the way around by
county land, it's point of contiguity is along the railroad tracks at the property's southeast
corner.
Zaremba: We have accepted smaller comers than that before. That's my only
question.
Borup: Any other Commissioners? Does the applicant have a presentation they'd like to
make?
Houst: I'm Doug Houst with Olson and Associates Architects. We have Pastor Clint
Henry in the audience and we also have the chair of the building committee Tommy
Moser in the audience. We would be happy to answer any questions that you have.
Borup: Apparently, you have no --
Houst: We have no -
Borup: But no questions on any of the staff comments and you're in agreement with
everything?
Houst: We are in agreement.
Borup: Okay. Any questions from any Commissioners?
Centers: Mr. Chairman. Just one. You have read page five and the requirements --
the site-specific requirements of the staff comments?
Houst: I'm sure I have. I would like to get to that page.
Borup: Commissioner Centers, are you referring to the sewer service?
Centers: Well, all the conditions required by the staff. I just wanted to make sure the
applicant agrees.
Houst: Yes.
Centers: You're in agreement with everything?

Houst: We are.
Centers: Very good. Thank you.
Borup: Do we have anyone else to testify on this application? Seeing none,
Commissioners?
Centers: I would move we close the Public Hearing, Mr. Chairman.
Zaremba: Second.
Borup: Motion and second to close the Public Hearing. All in favor? Any opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Centers: I don't find much need for discussion. I think it's very -- is everyone
agreeable? All right. Mr. Chairman, I would recommend approval on Item 4, AZ 03-001,
request for annexation and zoning of 10.006 acres from RUT to L-O zone for Central
Valley Baptist Church by Central Valley Baptist Church, east of North Ten Mile Road
and south of West Pine Avenue, including all staff comments from memo dated
February 13th. And, as stated, it's L-O zone.
Rohm: I will second that.
Borup: Motion and second. All in favor? Any opposed? Thank you.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item 5: Public Hearing: RZ 03-001 Request for a Rezone of 6.95 acres from L-
0 to L-0 and C-G Zones for Mallane Commercial Complex by The Land
Group, Inc. -north of East Fairview Avenue and west of North Eagle
Road:
Borup: The next item is Public Hearing RZ 03-001, request for a rezone of 6.95 acres
from L-O to L-O and C-G zones for Mallane Commercial Complex by the Land Group.
This is north of Fairview, west of Eagle Road. I'd like to open this Public Hearing and
start with the staff report.
Siddoway: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. I spoke with Russ
Hepworth, the applicant's representative today, and he said that he had submitted to the
clerk's office a request to be continued tonight, because the property was not posted on
the correct date. I also found one other minor issue, which they can get resolved and a
new legal description to us by Monday, and that is that the description submitted states
that the property to be rezoned does not include the lot that is adjacent to the existing
homes and that the lot would remain limited office, so that the uses would stay less
