HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutes C• Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission September 16, 1996 Page 33 amending the development agreement. Let's do that whatever it takes to satisfies City's conditions. We really don't want to debate that issue. Johnson: I understand that, I want to debate the issue because I don't want to be doing things we don't need to be doing. That is why I am asking that question. Any other questions for the applicant. This is a public hearing, anyone from the public that would like to address the Commission at this time on this application? Anyone at all here for this? Any other questions then? At this time I will close the public hearing and I would appreciate it if you would leave that diagram with us. Shearer: Mr. Chairman, I move that we have the attorney prepare findings of fact and conclusions of law on this project: MacCoy: Second Johnson: We have a motion and a second to have the City Attorney prepare findings of fact and conclusions of law, all those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea ITEM #10: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A RADIO ANTENNA TOWER BY WESTERN WIRELESS: Johnson: This application has been withdrawn FIVE MINUTE RECESS ITEM #11: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A THRIFT STORE AND FARMERS MARKET BY IDAHO YOUTH RANCH INC.: Johnson: I will now open the public hearing and invite the applicant or his representative to come forward and address the Commission. Is anyone present representing the Idaho Youth Ranch Inc.? Ms. Stiles? Stiles: Chairman Johnson and Commissioners, due to the fact that the representative of the applicant is having some health problems, we stressed him out too bad. I think it is a very straight forward project, it is the Food Town existing grocery store. They have submitted their plan that they are showing adding the parking and some landscaping that hasn't existed at the site before. Ada County Highway District has placed some restrictions on in and out because they plan to still use the existing pumps as part of their program plus probably open to the public. The smaller 8 1/2 by 11 drawing you have is for Hills • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission September 16, 1996 Page 34 - U Farmers Market which is directly north of King Street adjacent to this parcel. Hills or Idaho Youth Ranch has agreed to our conditions and has agreed to be responsible for the roadway .improvements and landscaping improvements that are part of Hills Farmers Markets. If you have any questions I will try to answer them. MacCoy: Let me try to clarify something here, are you telling us that the tanks that are buried out there are not going to be torn out and are going to be used? Stiles: They are, they have been tested and I, we would request a letter from Health and Welfare or the appropriate agency to get that approval to leave them in place. Johnson: We are talking about continued use is what we are talking about because they have been used all along right? Stiles: Yes Johnson: So in order to be used, they have met compliance in the past. Are they all required to be tested? Stiles: Yes Oslund: Where is the farmers market? Stiles: The farmers market would be directly north of King Street where Osprey Boats is now. This is actually, Hills Farmers Market would actually occupy the southern half of that lot. Oslund: Okay so right now they are using the pump area for their market and that is not the plan? Stiles: No Shearer: They are going to use the parking fot (Inaudible) they are not going to use the boat (inaudible) Stiles: They are going to erect a building there and hook it up to sewer and water and have their own parking. - Oslund: They are going to use the parking lot for Hills? Stiles: Yes, the parking lot to the north that is shown on the 81/2 by 11. It would be across • • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission September 16, 1996 Page 35 the street on this side. -" Osfund: Is there going to be enough parking for the use? Stiles: For the use they are proposing yes. MacCoy: What kind of signage are they planning on putting up here do you have any idea? Stiles: I don't know if they are intending to use the existing sign and somehow using that sign. One thing I was concerned about on the Hills Farmers Market was the proliferation of the A frame signs. I think we can talk to him, Mr. Hill, doesn't quite understand but I think we can let him know what our expectations are. Johnson: Well they would have to comply with our ordinances. Any other questions of Ms. Stiles at this point? Oslund: One more clarification, they are going to actually operate the gas station and a thrift store? Stiles: Yes Borup: At this point are they intending to move the existing building from Fairview over to here? Stiles: That was Mr. Hill's plan. Os(und: Hey wait, moving buildings, what is the deal? Stiles: He currently o;~erates in a building that is east of the Idaho Athletic Crab, it is in the County. It sits back up against the adjacent residential lots. He knows he is going to have to comply with the building code requirements but he believes that he can use that existing building and it will save him money. I think part of it is metal but the front portion is, I don't know what it is. Daunt will have to inspect the building and make sure that it is up to code before he get's an occupancy permit for that building. Oslund: So he is not going to use the Food Town building? Stiles: That is where the Idaho Youth Ranch will be. It is confusing because these are really two separate pieces of property but the Idaho Youth Ranch agreed to let Doug Hill come in as part of their conditional use permit to save him some money. Do you have an I Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission September 16, 1996 Page 36 8 1 /2 by 11 sheet in your packet? Borup: That was my concern what the building was going to look like. (1r~audible) Stiles: Mr. Hill stated that it would cost him $6000 to move the building, he was going to move the building initially because he got a temporary permit from the City Council so he could use it temporarily. But even if they had to move it 2 feet from the position that he had it set he would have to pay another $6000 to move it onto a foundation later. He can't get a building permit until he gets a conditional use permit. Shearer: Are they going to landscape the parking on the farmers market part? Stiles: One of my comments was they should provide a 20 foot landscape strip on that parcel. It is not really possible on the Idaho Youth Ranch parcel because of maintaining the use of those tanks. But they would need to meet the tree requirements and landscaping requirement. Johnson: Okay Ms. Stiles in the past ten years we have had a lot of professional presentations this is not one of them. Stiles: Thank you Johnson: This is a public hearing, is there anyone else that would like to address the Commission on this application, anybody here for this? Any further questions or further discussion? There are a lot of things going on here, a lot more than meets the .eye. So what is your pleasure? Shearer: I move that we have the attorney prepare findings of fact and conclusions of law on this project. MacCoy: Second Johnson: Moved and seconded we have the City Attorney prepare findings of fact and conclusions of law on item 11, application by Idaho Youth Ranch Inc., all those in favor? Opposed?
