Moore company on the site located on the north side of Magic View road. I am a resident of the neighborhood directly to the north, Greenhill subdivision, and am strongly opposed to the proposed three story Ameritel Inn. I am opposed to this project on many personal reasons however considering the past testimony heard at the Eagle Partners project on Chevron and McDonalds perhaps personal reasons don't weight too much in the decision. I would like to call attention to the original application for the project.' The original site development plan stated a single level office complex with reasonable hours of operation, with berm and fencing to shield the project, which would be acceptable to the surrounding area to serve as a transitional zone between residential areas and more commercial business. Also stated in the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law, item #17 states "the use proposed within the subject application will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring use". Mentioned also in the City Council recommendations 2:14 states "while the office uses/hours should be harmonious with the residents homes to the north". I feel that the proposed Ameritel Inn does not meet the requirements in the above stated facts. A three story building adjacent to residential homes will not only be "disturbing" by its hours of operation and state of building height, but it will not be in harmony with the existing homes to the north. I implore you to review the past denial by the City Council of the Eagle Partners proposed three story hotel on nearly the same site. The reasons have not changed in opposition of a three story complex located at this site nor will they. I am in favor of substantial buffer zone with berm and fencing to shield the area from the development that may go on this site that will compliment the city as well as the neighborhood. Proper establishments can be built on the transitional areas to buffer existing homes. Building of roads and structures on "public land" receive vast amounts of study and environmental impact studies for years to determine the impact on the animal and plant habitat living in the impact zone. l feel we need the same sincere consideration from the City Council of this project and what negative impact it will have on the residents. Stand by the single level original site plan proposed. Stand by the sign ordinance. Stand for something positive in our community and vote for a denial of the Ameritel Inn.

Our response to the Commission's findings are listed below. 1. The Decision by the Commission Was Not Unanimous: After a lengthy meeting the Commission carefully deliberated the request. The vote was two Commissioners in favor of the Conditional Use and two in opposition. The two Commissioners in favor stated clearly that the request was compatible and harmonious to the neighborhood, was the appropriate use for the property, and did not violate the intent and purpose of the development agreement. The chairman broke the tie and voted in the affirmative to deny the request. 2. Longevity of the Development Agreement: No where in the development agreement is there language that prohibits the submittal of a conditional use permit application for a use other than an office building, nor is there language in the development agreement stating a timeframe that an applicant must wait before submitting a conditional use application for a use other than an office building. To the contrary, the development agreement specifically permits the submittal of a conditional use permit application for uses other than an office building, even a hotel. The development agreement states in Section 5: Rebuttal to Commission Findings 1 "S. CONDITIONS GOVERNING DEVELOPMENT OF SUBJECT PROPERTY.• S.1 "Developer shall develop the "Property" in accordance with the following special conditions: S. I.A The property should be zoned L-O, Limited Off ce District, and the Applicant shall use the subject property to develop professional offce uses with any other uses permitted in the subject zone only as a conditional use. " A hotel is a Conditional Use in an L-O Zone. A request for a Conditional Use has been properly submitted to the City. 3. No Attempt to Comply With the Development Agreement: The applicant, in conjunction with Magic View Partners has conformed to, or exceeded every element contained in the development agreement. This includes but is not limited to • Construction of St. Luke's Road • Construction of a 4 foot berm north of Saint Luke's Road • Commitment to construct a 6 foot fence along the berm • Construction of sidewalks • License agreement to maintain the berm and fence. • Commitment to landscaping and buffering far beyond Ordinance requirements. • Submittal of a Conditional Use application in conformance with the Development Agreement 4. Evidence Presented as to Why a Hotel is more Compatible than Office: Significant testimony was submitted that the proposed use is as compatible as office use. Two members of the Commission concurred. Further there is no mandate in any ordinance, plan, or policy in the City that requires a finding that one use must be more compatible than another. A conditional use application permits the City to establish a higher standard for development than a standard office development. The applicant has submitted a request that provides extensive landscaping, greater setbacks and other design features all of which are intended to address neighborhood compatibility. 5. Section 11-17-3C and D, "Harmonious" Use of Proper The subject request is harmonious to the vast majority of the land uses adjacent to the request. These include: Rebuttal to Commission Findings 2 • ~~ • The I-84 Interchange and Eagle Road • Saint Lu1ce's Regional Medical Center • All of the Commercial and Office uses occurring to the east, south, and west of the property • The request is harmonious to the intent and purpose of the adopted Meridian Comprehensive Plan. With proper conditions the hotel can be harmonious with the residential uses to the north. 6. Request conforms to and exceeds the technical requirements contained in the L-O Zone: The request involves extensive landscaping, setbacks, and design features far beyond those required by the ordinance. 7. Request conforms to the intent and purpose of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan• The Meridian Comprehensive Plan recognizes the importance of this major intersection and designated the area as "Mixed Use". The granting of a hotel furthers the City's goal allowing uses that function in harmony with each other. The record clearly states the interrelationship of this use with the growing Hospital complex to the east, the Interstate and Eagle Road and the ever-increasing corporate presence in the immediate vicinity. It is best to locate hotel facilities near these features. 8. The decision of the Commission was not based upon criteria contained in Meridian Ci Code: The recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission should have been, and the ultimate decision by the City Council must be, based upon the criteria for approval of conditional uses contained in the City Zoning Ordinance, specifically Section 11-17-3. The Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation for denial is erroneously based upon factors not contained in the City Code, including the requirement that the hotel be "more compatible" with the surrounding uses than an office building and that the hotel be a "better use" than an office building. The evidence presented by the applicant supports a positive finding on each and every criteria set forth in Section 11-17-3, Meridian City Code as follows: a. The proposed hotel will, in fact, constitute a conditional use as determined by City policy. b. The proposed hotel will be harmonious with and in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. Rebuttal to Commission Findings Page 3 ~ ~ c. The proposed hotel will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of the area. d. The proposed hotel will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses. e. The proposed hotel will be served adequately by a essential public facilities and services such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer. f. The proposed hotel will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. g. The proposed hotel will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors. h. The proposed hotel will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so designed so as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public streets. i.

AmeriTel Inns is a locally owned company that currently owns and operates 9 hotels in the intermountain west. Our corporate headquarters are just two miles east of the proposed Meridian site. We strive to build hotels that cater to the mid to upper level of the hotel market. Attached to this letter are some photos and promotional information that will help demonstrate to you the quality and service AmeriTel Inns is committed to providing our guests, as well as our local communities. We have spent considerable time analyzing this location and have come to the conclusion it is a premier location for us. Highway 55 (Eagle Road) is one of only two north-south highways in the Treasure Valley. As a gateway to the mountains of Idaho, it is used by numerous tourists who desire hotel accommodations. Interstate 84 is the major route from Portland to Salt Lake and also carries thousands of people desiring our services. The established Saint Luke's Meridian Hospital has created a need for accommodations. It is our firm belief that Saint Luke's will eventually build one of the largest medical complexes in Idaho there, as well. Families from throughout the region will come to this facility and desire a quality hotel where they can be near their loved ones. Doctors and medical professionals will also travel to Meridian and will desire hotel accommodations near the hospital. Being across the street with help reduce automobile traffic for people using the medical facilities while staying at our hotel. We realize that our building has raised concerns with neighboring residents. We are very sensitive to their concerns and want to be good neighbors. I have instructed our staff and consultants to work closely with them to help mitigate impacts. AmeriTel Inns has held a series of neighborhood meetings to help address issues of concern to the neighbor's . We are committed to landscape and buffer our site far beyond a typical project. We are committed to do this because it is the right thing to do. Modifications to our proposed design as a result of these meetings include shifting the building fifty feet south away from Greenhill Estates, the addition of fifteen to twenty foot (when planted) Austrian Pines on the berm along St. Luke's Street, extending the wood fence on this berm to Eagle Road, berms and significant landscaping along the northern portion of our site, and withdrawal of our request for aseventy-five foot pole mounted sign. If you would like to experience one of our facilities first hand, please feel free to stop by the AmeriTel Inn- Boise Spectrum at Overland and Cole roads, next to the Edwards Theatres. Though this location is much larger than our proposed project, I can assure you the same quality, amenities, and commitment to your community will be included in the proposed Meridian hotel.

Attached is a modified landscape plan which shows the following modifications which were made to address their concerns: 1) The building and parking have been moved fifty feet south of their original proposed location. 2) A landscaped berm has been added in the area north of the building. 3) Offsite landscaping north of St. Lukes Road has been addressed and coordinated with the WH Moore Company to buffer the neighbors to the north. 4) The curb cut rejected by the ACHD has been relocated in concurrence with their staff report. While the impact of these modifications is significant in their impact on the neighbors, they do not change the design intent of the original Landscape Plan. Also included are additional exhibits not included in our original submittal which show existing and proposed site conditions, sight line studies and how our proposed design will fit into the area.

Eagle Road and north of I-84, south of St. Luke's Road. The public hearing for this request is scheduled for March 20, 2001. The property this hotel is proposed for backs up to private residences on Autumn Way in the Greenhills Estates subdivision. As homeowners in Greenhills Estates, we are very concerned about the negative impact that this development will have on our way of life, property values and enjoyment of our home if the City allows it to be built. Our subdivision consists of/2 - 1 acre sized lots and homes valued in the $150,000 - $200,040+ price range. We have a nice neighborhood. People take good Gaze of their homes and yards. We are very proud of our home; it is the biggest investment we will ever make. We enjoy working and playing in our yard and value our privacy. With St. Luke's Hospital expanding across the street and the widening of Eagle Road, development in our area seems to be inevitable. The rural 5-acre residential properties behind us were rezoned and a development agreement signed approximately one year ago. This agreement between the developers and the City of Meridian, with input from the neighbors in Crreenhills Estates, specifies that the developments backing up to our homes on the north side of Magic View Drive would be single story, professional type office buildings. This implies limited hours of operation and was intended to serve as a "buffer zone" between our homes and further commercial development to the south. Although we aze not happy to see any kind of commercial development in our back yards, we homeowners felt that if we had to have development, we could live with professional, single story office. buildings having limited hours of operation. A 3-story, 87 room hotel operating 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year does meet the intent of the development agreement. Representatives from Ameritel Tnn have met with the neighbors to hear our concerns. They have tried to sell us on what a lovely hotel it will be and that their properties attract a high class clientele. We believe a i • hotel with overnight parking will also attract vandalism and burglary and we have safety and security and privacy issues with having it in our back yard. Since meeting with the neighbors, Ameritel has slightly modified their original plans. From the drawings and plans we have seen, it is obviously intended to be a beautiful facility with extensive landscaping and would be set back as far from the neighboring property lines as possible. But the fact still remains that it is a 3-story hotel that would operate around the clock and no amount of landscaping changes that fact. We invite you to come to our neighborhood. While you aze here, look at the Chevron/McDonalds/Credit Union property and the buffering that was installed between it and our neighborhood. We were told that Eagle Partners, the developers of that project, would be required to install a 4 foot landscaped berm and 6»foot wood fence. We have chain link and a (not 4-foot) berm that is mostly shredded bark. Who is supposed to enforce building codes and ensure that developers do what they have been required to do? Look at the ridiculously garish 70 foot sign that lights up our yazds and homes at night (we thought Meridian had a sign ordinance?). Please don't inflict any more commercialism on our neighborhood. The Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission voted to recommend denial of Ameritel's request for a conditional use permit. The Planning & Zoning Commission agreed with the neighborhood that this would be an inappropriate use of this property. The development agreement that was signed just a yeaz ago should be enforced. We ask you to consider their decision and also vote to deny this application. Wade & Shannon Nielsen • • RECEIVED TO: Will Berg MAR 2 0 2001 FROM: Cherie McCandless CITY OF 1VIERIDIAN ~: An~eritellnn These are thoughts that I would probably express tonight and I would like them to be entered into the record if possible. Thanks, Will. MAR 20 '01 16 15 PAGE. 01 • • .Atnerital is proposing to build a three stony motel in an area that borders an upscale subdivision. While realizing that this area just off Eagle Road is going to be developed (and has been) I think it is inappropriate to build such a large stzuctuxe so close to existing homes. There will be traffic at all hours with accompanying lights, etc. The residents are already resigned to tall lighted signs, service stations and convenience stores. I feel that a motel should be built closer to the fxeeway, not next to a residential area. Do we need two of them so close together? Much better suited to this area are one story o££xces and businesses that would operate during daytaime hours. No matter how many beans and Fences that are installed, the motel would still be a three stony business that would operate all night long. xn addition, P&2 has reconaznended that this project be denied. Unfortunately ~ will not be in attendance tonight due to illness, but if I were, I would vote NO.

This segment of Eagle Road is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation Department. MCUP00-053.cmm Page 2 ~J HISTORY: B. On December 30, 1998, the ACRD Commission acted on MCU-43-97 and as part of that action, found that an extraordinary impact existed because of the potential of large volumes of trips that would be generated by the redevelopment of Magic View Subdivision and required the construction and dedication of a new road into the Magic View Subdivision from Eagle Road opposite the driveway/private street into St. Luke's medical center. During consideration of MCU-43-97, the Commission reviewed several options for assuring adequate and safe access from Eagle Road into this rapidly redeveloping area. The selected option included the construction of the new road across the property that was the subject of MCU-43-97 and through ~~" ' the subject site extending the road to the intersection of Magic View Drive and Allen Drive. The cost of construction and right-of--way was to be shared among all the redeveloping properties in Magic View Subdivision. C. In the Consideration of MCU-43-97, the Ada County Highway District found that the anticipated fiscal impacts of the anticipated developments in Magic View Subdivision are of such a magnitude that ACHD will be unable to accommodate the developments without excessive and unscheduled public expenditures which exceed the anticipated impact fees from such developments. The above mentioned street will ultimately be constructed as a 52-foot (4-lane) street section, at its connection with Eagle Road, tapering to a standard 46-foot commercial street section 500-feet west of Eagle Road. The cost of the roadway was estimated to be approximately $650,000.00. Since that estimate, the developer of MCU-43-97 has constructed about one-third of the length of the road. The construction of the road was at the expense of the developer and ACHD purchased the right-of--way. In its review of MCU-43-97, the Commission adopted an extraordinary fee based on trip generation rates. The Commission determined that the Extraordinary Impact Fee would be $43.19 per trip. This parcel includes 2.66-acres, resulting in a trip generation rate of approximately 716-trips per day, for a hotel with 87 rooms. Therefore, this property should pay an overlay fee to the District in the amount of approximately $30,924. Staff recommends that the Commission require the payment of that amount into a fund for the reimbursement of cost to construct and dedicate right-of--way for a new road from the intersection of Eagle Road and St. Luke's driveway to the intersection of Magic View Drive and Allen Drive as the proportionate share of this property on a per trip basis. D. St. Luke's Street is currently being extended through the site to Magic View Drive in alignment with Allen Street as a 46-foot street section with curbs, gutters, sidewalks and bike lanes. CURRENT APPLICATION E. On November 13, 2000, the District Planning and Development staff inspected this site and evaluated the transportation system in the vicinity. On November 20, 2000, the staff met as the District's Technical Review Committee and reviewed the impacts of this proposed development on the District's transportation system. The results of that analysis constitute the following Facts and Findings and recommended Site Specific Requirements. MCUP00-053.cnvn Page 3 F. The applicant is proposing to construct a 24-foot wide driveway located approximately 90-feet west of the east property line, and 100-feet west of an existing driveway. District policy requires driveways to align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from any existing or proposed driveways. The proposed driveway location on the site plan does not conforn~ to District policy. The applicant should relocate the driveway to offset 125-feet from the existing driveway. This driveway requirement was noted with the previous conditional use application in 1999, and has already been constructed in its approved location. G. The applicant is proposing to construct a 24-foot wide driveway located approximately 180-feet east of Allen Street extended. District policy requires driveways to align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from any existing or proposed driveways. The proposed driveway conforms to District policy. -. ==" H. The applicant is proposing to construct a driveway on Allen Street located approximately 155- 6„-.„ feet north of Magic View Drive. The driveway does not serve as an entrance to the project, but only as a trash enclosure. Trash pick-up in this location would require garbage trucks to back into the driveway from Allen Street, a collector roadway. The trash enclosure should be relocated within the site to prevent garbage trucks from backing into public streets. This driveway is not approved with this application. I. When the St. Lukes Street/Allen Street road design was reviewed, a driveway was approved on Allen Street, located to align with a driveway on the west side of Allen Street, approximately 150-feet south of St. Lukes Street. J. Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with past action by the District the applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of St. Lukes Street and Magic View Drive with 15-foot curb radii. K. The applicant should be required to construct curb, gutter, 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk and match paving on Magic View Drive to a 40-foot street section. L. Utility street cuts in pavement less than five years old are not allowed unless approved in writing by the District. Contact Construction Services at 387-6280 (with file numbers) for details. M. In order to reduce trips to and from this development it is recommended that Tenants occupying the proposed building be required to provide an Alternative Transportation Program for employees and provide an annual report to ACHD on employee participation. Commuteride staff will coordinate the Alternative Transportation Program with the applicant. For more information contact Pat Nelson at 387-6160. N. In order to reduce trips to and from this development, it is recommended that the tenants occupying the proposed building(s) be required to participate in any Transportation Management Association (TMA) or Transportation Management Organization (TMO) that is formed with a boundary that includes this site or is adjacent to this development. MCUP00-053.cnv~n Page 4 A Transportation Management Association (TMA) or Transportation Management Organization • (TMO) is formed with a coordinator that works as a liaison between businesses and private and public transportation providers to increase the use of alternative transportation and other trip reduction measures (shuttle buses, bus pass programs, vanpools, carpools, bicycle and walking ~, enhancements). An annual survey will be required of the TMA/TMO to monitor participation in alternative transportation programs and forwarded to the ACRD Commuteride Office. O. Based on development patterns in this area and the resulting traffic generation, staff anticipates that the transportation system will not be adequate to accommodate additional traffic generated by this proposed development with the requirements outlined within this report. ".~ r Special Recommendation to City of Meridian and ITD: This development and the potential for redevelopment in the area will exacerbate the existing traffic problems on Eagle Road. The District recommends that a median be constructed in Eagle Road from the Eagle Road/I-84 interchange to Franklin Road as suggested in the second level of access control recommended in the Eagle Road Access Control Study. The median should be constructed to eliminate left turns at driveway and street approaches at every- location except the St. Luke's signalized driveway and the westward extension of St. Luke's Street. In later stages of protection, frontage road on both the east and west side of Eagle Road should be constructed from Franklin Road south to the signalized intersection at St. Luke's driveway to provide access to full access intersections for the parcels affected by the median. The following requirements are provided as conditions for approval: Site Specific Requirements: 1. Construct a 24-foot wide driveway on St. Lukes Street located to offset a minimum of 125-feet from any existing or proposed driveways. Pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of St. Lukes Street with 15-foot curb radii. ~,;.;.; 2. Construct a 24-foot wide driveway on Magic View Drive located approximately 180-feet east of Allen Street extended, as proposed. Pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of Allen Street with 15-foot curb radii. Construct curb, gutter, 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk and match paving on Magic View Drive to a 40-foot street section. 4. The proposed trash enclosure driveway on Allen Street is not approved with this application. 5. Prior to issuance of a building pern~it, the developer shall be required to pay the standard impact fee, and the overlay fee of approximately $30,924, based on 716 vehicle trips per day. The overlay fee will offset the cost of the extension of St. Lukes Street. 6. Utility street cuts in pavement less than five years old are not allowed unless approved in ~~," writing by the District. Contact Construction Services at 387-6280 (with file numbers) for details. MCUP00-053.cmm Page 5 7.

On December 30, 1998, the ACHD Commission acted on MCU-43-97 and as part of that action, found that an extraordinary impact existed because of the potential of large volumes of trips that would be generated by the redevelopment of Magic View Subdivision and required the construction and dedication of a new road into the Magic View Subdivision from Eagle Road opposite the driveway/private street into St. Luke's medical center. During consideration of MCU-43-97, the Commission reviewed several options for assuring adequate and safe access from Eagle Road into this rapidly redeveloping area. The selected option included the construction of the new road across the property that was the subject of MCU-43-97 and through the subject site extending the road to the intersection of Magic View Drive and Allen Drive. The cost of construction and right-of--way was to be shared among all'the redeveloping properties in Magic View Subdivision. C. In the Consideration of MCU-43-97, the Ada County Highway District found that the anticipated fiscal impacts of the anticipated developments in Magic View Subdivision are of such a magnitude that ACHD will be unable to accommodate the developments without excessive and unscheduled public expenditures which exceed the anticipated impact fees from such developments. The above-mentioned street will ultimately be constructed as a 52-foot (4-lane) street section, at its connection with Eagle Road, tapering to a standard 46-foot commercial street section 500-feet west of Eagle Road. The cost of the roadway was estimated to be approximately $650,000.00. Since that estimate, the developer ofMCU-43-97 has constructed about one-third of the length of the road. The construction of the road was at the expense of the developer and ACHD purchased the right-of--way. In its review of MCU-43-97, the Commission adopted an extraordinary fee based on trip generation rates. The Commission determined that the Extraordinary Impact Fee would be $43.19 per trip. This parcel includes 2.66-acres, resulting in a trip generation rate of approximately 716-trips per day, for a hotel with 87 rooms. Therefore, this property should pay an overlay fee to the District in the amount of approximately $30,924. Staff recommends that the Commission require the payment of that amount into a fund for the reimbursement of cost to construct and dedicate right-of--way for a new road from the intersection of Eagle Road and St. Luke's driveway to the intersection of Magic View Drive and Allen Drive as the proportionate share of this property on a per trip basis. D. St. Luke's Street is currently being extended through the site to Magic View Drive in alignment with Allen Street as a 46-foot street section with curbs, gutters, sidewalks and bike lanes. CURRENT APPLICATION E. On November 13, 2000, the District Planning and Development staff inspected this site and evaluated the transportation system in the vicinity. On November 20, 2000, the staff met as the MCUP00-053.cnvn Page District's Technical Review Committee and reviewed the impacts of this proposed development on the District's transportation system. The results of that analysis constitute the following Facts and Findings and recommended Site Specific Requirements. F. The applicant is proposing to construct a 24-foot wide driveway located approximately 90-feet west of the east property line, and 100-feet west of an existing driveway. District policy requires driveways to align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from any existing or proposed driveways. The proposed driveway location on the site plan does not conform to District policy. The applicant has requested permission to relocate the driveway to offset 115-feet from the existing driveway. Although this requires the closing of an existing driveway, the staff does not have any safety objections to relocating the driveway. This driveway will probably be restricted to right-in/right-out movements in the future as the volume increases on St. Luke's Street. This driveway requirement was noted with the previous conditional use application in 1999, and has already been constructed in its approved location. G. The applicant is proposing to construct a 24-foot wide driveway located approximately 180-feet east of Allen Street extended. District policy requires driveways to align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from any existing or proposed driveways. The proposed driveway conforms to District policy. H. The applicant is proposing to construct a driveway on Allen Street located approximately 155- feet north of Magic View Drive. The driveway does not serve as an entrance to the project, but only as a trash enclosure. Trash pick-up in this location would require garbage trucks to back into the driveway from Allen Street, a collector roadway. The trash enclosure should be relocated within the site to prevent garbage trucks from backing into public streets. This driveway is not approved with this application. When the St. Luke's Street/Allen Street road design was reviewed, a driveway was approved on Allen Street, located to align with a driveway on the west side of Allen Street, approximately 150-feet south of St. Luke's Street. That driveway has already been constructed: The applicant is not proposing to utilize the driveway and should be required to close the driveway using standard curb, gutter and sidewalk to match existing improvements. J. Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with past action by the District the applicant should be required to pave the driveway its frill width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of St. Luke's Street and Magic View Drive with 15-foot curb radii. K. The applicant should be required to construct curb, gutter, 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk and match paving on Magic View Drive to a 40-foot street section. L. Utility street cuts in pavement less than five years old are not allowed unless approved in writing by the District. Contact Construction Services at 387-6280 (with file numbers) for details. MCUP00-053.cmm Page 4 M. In order to reduce trips to and from this development it is recommended that Tenants occupying the proposed building be required to provide an Alternative Transportation Program for employees and provide an annual report to ACHD on employee participation. Commuteride staff will coordinate the Alternative Transportation Program with the applicant. For more information contact Pat Nelson at 387-6160. N. In order to reduce trips to and from this development, it is recommended that the tenants occupying the proposed building(s) be required to participate in any Transportation Management Association (TMA) or Transportation Management Organization (TMO) that is formed with a boundary that includes this site or is adjacent to this development. A Transportation Management Association (TMA) or Transportation Management Organization (TMO) is formed with a coordinator that works as a liaison between businesses and private and public transportation providers to increase the use of alternative transportation and other trip reduction measures (shuttle buses, bus pass programs, vanpools, carpools, bicycle and walking enhancements). An annual survey will be required of the TMA/TMO to monitor participation in alternative transportation programs and forwarded to the ACHD Commuteride Office. O. Based on development patterns in this area and the resulting traffic generation, staff anticipates that the Franklin Road/Eagle Road intersection will not be adequate to accommodate additional traffic generated by this proposed development with the requirements outlined within this report. Special Recommendation to City of Meridian and ITD: 1. This development and the potential for redevelopment in the area will exacerbate the existing traffic problems on Eagle Road. The District recommends that a median be constructed in Eagle Road from the Eagle Road/I-84 interchange to Franklin Road as suggested in the second level of access control recommended in the Eagle Road Access Control Study. The median should be initially constructed to eliminate outbound left turns at driveway and street approaches at every location except the St. Luke's signalized driveway and the westward extension of St. Luke's Street. In the future, left turns into these driveways and street approaches may be eliminated as well. In later stages of protection, frontage roads on both the east and west side of Eagle Road should be constructed from Franklin Road south to the signalized intersection at St. Luke's driveway to provide access to full access intersections for the parcels affected by the median. It is important to recognize that a median in Eagle Road will cause inconvenience to the residents of the existing subdivisions at the southeast and southwest corners of the intersection at Franklin and Eagle Roads, but will improve the overall safety of the roadways. The following requirements are provided as conditions for approval: MCUP00-053.cnlni Page 5 Site Specific Requirements: 1. Construct a 24-foot wide driveway on St. Luke's Street located to offset a minimum of 115-feet from any existing or proposed driveways. Pave the driveway its frill width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of St. Luke's Street with 15-foot curb radii. 2. Construct a 24-foot wide driveway on Magic View Drive located approximately 180-feet east of Allen Street extended, as proposed. Pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of Allen Street with 15-foot curb radii. Close any unused driveways on St. Lukes Street and Allen Street (two) and replace them with standard vertical curb, gutter and sidewalk. 4. Construct curb, gutter, 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk and match paving on Magic View Drive to a 40-foot street section. The proposed trash enclosure driveway on Allen Street is not approved with this application. 6. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the developer shall be required to pay the standard impact fee, and the overlay fee of approximately $30,924, based on 716 vehicle trips per day. The overlay fee will offset the cost of the extension of St. Luke's Street. 7. Utility street cuts in pavement less than five years old are not allowed unless approved in writing by the District. Contact Construction Services at 387-6280 (with file numbers) for details. 8.

We have held two very informative neighborhood meetings. They have helped us to better understand the concerns of the neighborhood and how we may assist in being good neighbors. Based on these meetings we have accomplished some design changes to help protect the neighborhood. Attached to this letter are a series of photographs that will help show you the existing conditions and proposed changes along our northern property line. Our goal is to provide an effective buffer to our neighboring property owners. BUILDING SETBACK We have moved the building further to the south. This provides fora 135 foot landscaped area on the northern side of our property. We plan on placing extensive landscaping and berms in this area to provide a very attractive entrance to the hotel and help act as buffer to houses to the north. This setback is graphically shown on the fourth photo sheet. Our setback from the homes to the north will be the same as the Saint Luke's Hospital setback from the Montvue Subdivision, east of the Eagle Road. This means the building will be setback 240 feet from- the neighboring lots to the north and a minimum of 335 feet to the nearest house. This is similar to the distance of a city block or a football field in length. BUFFERING AmeriTel Inns has agreed to work with the owners of the neighboring office property to supplement the berm adjacent to the homes north of our project. The accompanying photos will help explain the existing conditions and proposed enhancements. PHOTO PLATES We will provide larger versions of these exhibits at the hearing. It should be noted that none of these views include the extensive trees and vegetation that will be planted on the AmeriTel site in the 135 foot setback area. 1. Ground Floor View Before and After: The top picture shows the existing conditions from the ground floor looking north towards the neighboring properties. Part of the berm has been constructed and can be seen in front of the homes. The middle drawing is aline-of--site map showing the potential view of the our building from the ground and second floor of a home. The proposed 4 foot berm and six foot fence is also shown adjacent to the neighboring lots. (A requirement under the development agreement.) A series of differing sized trees are shown to help determine the size needed to accomplish a buffer. The sizes shown are ten, fifteen, and twenty foot trees The bottom photo shows the proposed fence and conceptual landscaping on the berm. The red line represents a 15 foot tall tree. Our concept is to strategically place large trees along the berm to help shield neighboring homes from views of the building and traffic using the new access road. These large trees will be in addition to what was required in the original development agreement. 2. Third Floor View Before and After: We felt it was important to establish the potential view impact from the third floor of the Hotel on neighboring property owners. We brought a lifter to the property and raised it to the elevation of the third floor. (It is important to note that no hotel rooms face to the north) The top photo shows the existing conditions and the bottom photo shows the fence and conceptual landscaping. 2 ~ f 3. View From Neighboring Lot: We received permission from one of our neighbors to take a photo from their rear yard to determine the impact of the building on their property. The top photo shows the view of the building under existing conditions. The second photo represents the view with the fence and 15 foot tall pine trees. It must be noted that each yard would have a different aspect of the building 4. Summer View: The top photo shows the existing summer time vegetation along the homes to the north of the site. The second photo shows the fence and conceptual landscaping with summer time vegetation. The bottom photo shows the site with the proposed setback line in red. The area to the left of the red line is where the on-site landscaping and berms will occur. Note that our setback is similar to the Saint Luke's setback east of Eagle Road. We will provide more detailed comments at the public hearing. We hope that these exhibits will help better explain the situation. Our client wants to work with the City and the neighbors to develop a plan that works for everyone. They are dedicated to develop a first class hotel for the City of Meridian an active part of your growing community.
