FACTS & FINDLNGS: 1. Avest Plaza is a 10-lot commercial subdivision of the 37-acre parcel located at the northeast. corner of Fairview Avenue and. Locust Grove Road. Commercial uses requested at this time through conditional use permits are a Fred Meyer store on Lot, 1., Key Bank on Lot. 3, and self-storage on Lot 9. A private "ring road" is proposed to connect Fairview Avenue and Locust Grove, Road by looping around the proposed Fred Meyer store,.. This road. provides access to two separated commercial pads. and. the several acres of self-storage. See attached vicinity map and site plan. 2. A traffic study has been submitted and reviewed. for the pro- posed commercial complex. The results of this study have been integrated. into this report,. together with input from District Traffic Services Department. 3. GENERAL INFORMATION: LEAD AGENCY - ZONING - C-G LOTS - 10 Meridian ACRES - 36.91 ada county highway district 318 East 37th • Boise, Idaho 83714 • Phone (208) 345-7680 PRELIMINARY PLAT - ~st Plaza January 25, 1995 Page 3 • Less than 150' of continuous frontage ...... 1 access point. 150-600' of continuous frontage ............ 2 access points Greater than 600' of continuous frontage ... 3 access points. Access points for proposed developments at intersections. should be located as far from the intersection as practical, and in no case closer than as illustrated on Figure 72-F4." 6. The site has 1,295-feet of frontage on Locust Grove Road. and 1-,240-feet on Fairview Road; therefore the site will be limit- ed to three access points on each road. The site plan indi- cates three access points to Locust Grove Road .and five access.. points to Fairview Avenue. 7. The southern access point on Locust Grove Road is offset 40- feet (measured from centerline) south of Carol Street. This offset will cause southbound traffic turning left to Fred Meyer to conflict with northbound traffic turning left on to Carol Street. Even though the volumes turning left on to Carol Street will be minor, this is still an unsafe situation that is in substantial disagreement with: District Palicy and should not be allowed to occur. Staff recommends that. the Fred Meyer driveway be relocated to the north, either to align with Carol Street or to maintain a minimum offset a of 125-feet. It is not an option to relocate the access 125-feet south of Carol Street, since it will inter- fere with the left-turn lane to Fairview Avenue, which re- quires 200-feet for stacking and a 100-foot taper/transition. The remaining two access points on Locust Grave Road are sepa- rated by a minimum of 200-feet and have no offset conflicts. 8. The western access point on Fairview Avenue meets the Dis- trict's minimum offset of 230-feet from the intersection with. Locust Grove Road for a right-in/right-out only access. The. developer has agreed to the construction of a median in the center of Fairview Avenue to enforce the right-in/right.-out only access. 9. The access points on Fairview Avenue should be provided with tapered pavement widening for acceleration and deceleration until the District widens Fairview Avenue beyond the existing five lanes. 10. Driveway D (fourth access from the west) is shown on the site plan as the traffic consultant`s preferred location for a traffic signal. Traffic Services believes that this location is unacceptable as a signal location for the following reasons: PRELIMINARY PLAT - ~st Plaza ~7anuary 25, 1995 Page 5 • 12. ACHD Commuteride staff has expressed a suggestion that a Park 'N' Ride lot be provided on this project, and a representative for Fred Meyer has concurred with that request. He also ex- pressed an interest in establishing a bus stop when HUS ser- vice is extended to the Meridian area. 13. The ACHD Capital Improvement Plan indicates that Locust Grove Road is approved for use of Road Impact Fee funds to increase its capacity; therefore, Road Impact Fee offsets may be given for .construction of the roadway improvements (excluding side- , walk) along Locust Grove Road and for right-of-way dedication in addition to what exists now. If the developer wishes. to be paid for the additional right-of-way, he/she must submit. an application to the impact fee. administrator prior to breaking ground, in accordance with Section 15 of ACHD Ordinance #188. 14. This application is scheduled for public hearing by the Meridi- an Planning ~ Zoning Commission on January 10,,1995. SITE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS: 1. Dedicate 54-feet of right-of-way from the centerline. of. Fairview Avenue abutting parcel. The owner will be compensat- ed for additional right-of-way from available impact fee. reve- nues in this benefit zone. 2. Dedicate 45-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Locust Grove Road abutting parcel. The owner will be compensated. for additional. right-of-way from available impact fee. revenues. in this benefit zone. 3.

Development Policy Manual, Continua- Adjacent Develo ment, states the "An existing street, or a street in an approved preliminary plat, which ends at a boundary of a proposed development shall be extended in that development. The extension shall include provisions for continuation of storm drainage facilities." The proposed site plan does not include an extension of. Applewood Avenue into this site. The developer is opposed. to the extension of Applewood. Avenue because it would. bisect the lot proposed for self-storage. Neighbors in the adjoining subdivision have repeatedly expressed opposition to this exten- sion because of a belief that excessive traffic to/from the site would be routed through their subdivision. In the face of substantial neighborhood opposition, staff concedes that a requirement to extend Applewood Drive would be extremely unpopular; therefore, staff recommends that the existing Applewood Drive stub be vacated. to the adjoining property owners and the value of the vacated right-of-way be deposited by the developer to the. District prior to occupancy of the site . The developer has proposed the. construction of a pedestrian and bicycle pathway along the eastern edge of the site to offset the loss of the street access that the extension of Applewood would. provide. Staff feels. that this is a poor substitute, but one that has limited benefit. to the. neighbor- hood and staff will support the construction of the pathway in lieu of the. extension of Applewood. The pathway will extend from the northeast corner of the site to about midway along the east edge of the project where it will turn west into the complex.

FACTS & FINDINGS: 1. Avest Plaza is a 10-lot commercial subdivision of the 37-acre parcel located at the northeast corner of Fairview Avenue and Locust Grove Road. Commercial uses requested at this time through conditional use permits are a Fred Meyer store on Lot 1, Key Bank on Lot 3, and self-storage on Lot 9. A private "ring road" is proposed to connect Fairview Avenue and Locust Grove Road by looping around the proposed Fred Meyer store. This road. provides access to two separated commercial pads and the several acres of self-storage. See attached vicinity map and site plan. 2. A traffic study has been submitted and reviewed for the pro- posed commercial complex. The results of this study have been integrated into this report, together with input from District Traffic Services Department. 3.

The site has greater than 600-feet of frontage on Locust Grove Road and Fairview Road; therefore the site will be limited to three access points on each road. The site pla dicates three access points to Locust Grove Road and five access points to Fairview Avenue. 7. The southern access point on Locust Grove Road is offset 40- feet (measured from centerline) south of Carol Street. This offset will cause southbound traffic turning left to Fred Meyer to conflict with northbound traffic turning left on to Carol Street. Staff recommends that the Fred Meyer driveway be relocated to the north, either to align with Carol Street or to the south to maintain a minimum offset a of 125-feet. The remaining two access points on Locust Grove Road are sepa- rated by a minimum of 200-feet and have no offset conflicts. 8. The western access point on Fairview Avenue meets the Dis- trict's minimum offset of 230-feet from the intersection with Locust Grove Road for a right-in/right-out only access. The ,developer has agreed to the construction of a median in the center of Fairview Avenue to enforce the right-in/right-out only access. 9. The access points on Fairview Avenue will need accelera- tion/deceleration lanes until the District widens Fairview F, ~1~,5 Avenue beyond the existing five lanes. Staff recommends that ,~~ Fairview Avenue be widened one lane width for the entire front- ~, ~, age as a project related improvement, instead of providing ~ widening for the individual accesses. 10. Driveway D (fourth access from the west) is shown on the site plan as the traffic consultant's preferred location for a traffic signal. Traffic Services believes that this location is unacceptable for the following reasons: A. This location serves the project site but does not • serve the general public. B. The location at 1,097-feet, from Locust. Grove Road is conflicts with the Traffic Service's goal of one quar- ter of mile intersection spacing. PRELIMINARY PLAT vest Plaza Subdivision . January 6, 1995 Page 5 13. The ACRD Capital Improvement Plan indicates that Locust Grove Road is approved for use of Road Impact Fee funds to increase its capacity; therefore, Road Impact Fee offsets may be given for construction of the roadway improvements (excluding side- walk) along Locust Grove Road and for right-of-way dedication in addition to what exists now. If the developer wishes to be paid for the additional right-of-way, he/she must submit an application to the impact fee administrator prior to breaking ground, in accordance with Section 15 of ACID ordinance #188. 14. This application is scheduled for public hearing by the Meridi- an Planning & Zoning Commission on January 10, 1995. SITE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS: 1.

The developer is opposed to the extension of Applewood Avenue through proposed Lot 9 since it would bisect the lot proposed for self-storage. Neighbors in the adjoining subdivision have also expressed opposition. to this extension because of a belief that excessive through traffic would be routed through their subdivision. Staff recommends that Applewood Avenue be extended to provide neighboring residential uses a street-- connection without ac- cessing an arterial.

As you know I am very much opposed to this large of a commercial development being built so close to residential areas. Since it will most likely become an unwanted reality, I ask you to have the decency to see to it that the residential areas which border this development receive every consideration possible as to buffering to protect the value and enjoyment of these properties for their owners. The following are things which I see as being important to keeping this development as least intrusive as possible. 1). The 1998 widening of North Locust Grove should be taken into account by the plan. With all of the footage coming from the east side of the road since the homes on the west sit so close to the road already the property owners would loose not only land but mature landscaping,privacy,and some other essential improvements such as wells which they would not be fully compensated for by ACHD. 2). The exit that is the first one to the north of Carol Street should be eliminated as it will cause the homes apposite it to be constantly in the glare of headlights at night from cars pulling out on to Locust Grove Road. 3). The lighting on the buildings and in the parking areas should be hooded and directed away from the residential areas. Mercury vapor lights would be preferable as they are less glaring and intrusive. Also areas lighted by it appear more attractive. 4). The berms along the east side of North Locust Grove Road should be at least 4 feet above the finished level of the parking areas and sidewalks, so that car lights will not shine over them into the adjacent homes. • Page 2, AVEST project, Elizabeth Gwin 5). The landscaping should be substantial enough to screen car lights, lights from any doors or windows within view of the residential area, or any unattractive views such as the loading dock area at the back of the store that is visible from the residential areas.The plantings should be made up of attractive evergreens with only small amounts of deciduous plants used in order to provide a maximuaa screening effect for the nearby homes. 6). There should be no intrusion of noise from loudspeakers or from the speaker at the bank drive by window into the residential area. 7). The business hours should be set so as to coincide somewhat with the opening and closing of the other businesses in the area. It would be best if the businesses closest to North Locust Grove Road opened no earlier than 8 am and closed by a least 6pm. and were the type that weren't open on weekends. 8). Another aspect of this project is the type of buildings to be put in place. We will have to look at it for a long time and it is also fronting along Fairview which is an entry way to Meridian so the buildings should be of attractive and durable materials such as stone or brick. The use of high maintenance materials such as stucco or wooden finishes should not be allowed as they can look very ugly if not constantly maintained. 9). Every effort should be made during construction to contain dirt, debris, and noise to the site. A water truck should be used to contain dust if needed and construction work should be confined to normal daytime working hours and should not be scheduled on weekends. In conclusion there are many people in the North Locust Grove area who are very much opposed to this development. They do not plan to patronize this shopping center at all. Their opposition is due to the developer's expectation that the surrounding properties and homes should adapt to this project instead of the project adapting to and compensating for the surrounding residential area. The developer should do everything possible to screen the residential areas from unwanted views, glare, and noise from this project. To not do this will only continue to evoke the ire of local residents and result in the loss of paying customers for the businesses to be located in the new shopping center. • • Page 3, AVEST protect, Elizabeth A. Gwin I have tried to think of some of the things that should be addressed in order that the neighbors of this development can feel more comfortable with living next to it. T know that I have not thought of all the things that could cause conflict.. I am asking that the Mayor, City Council, Planning & Zoning Baard, and City Staff please think carefully about every aspect of this development in order that it be of a quality that will be attractive for the long term and w i 11 not unreasonably affect nearby property owner' s quality of life.

Locust Grove Road in Meridian, Idaho. With the commercial development going in across the street from our home we have many concerns. Our number one concern is the safety factor for our children. We have two sons, ages 5 and 8. Their safety and well-being is of the utmost of importance. Our greatest fear is the congestion of traffic since a five lane thoroughfare will be located at our front doorstep. Hopefully, you have completed or are planning on performing a traffic study to analyze the best method of protection for the residents bordering Locust Grove. It is our understanding that two (or possibly three) entrances are planned for the Locust Grove side of the Fred Meyer Store. • How will this back up the traffic? • Will there be lights shining directly into our home? • Will there be excessive traffic congestion in front of our home because there are two to three vehicles crossing the street at the same time? • Will there be turn lanes for entrances into the Fred Meyers shopping center to help alleviate this traffic congestion? • What measures will you take to help buffer the noise levels that grow decibel by decibel as each car, truck or semi-truck enters into this shopping center? • Are there any stipulations that you can set for Locust Grove residents so that the semi-trucks do not access the loading docks directly off of Locust Grove? • Have you done any studies with regard to air pollution and air quality affecting the neighboring homes? • Have you talked to the "green industry" to see which buffers are the best method of filtering out excessive traffic noise, traffic air pollution, dust and dirt? • Is there are requirement to perform an environmental assessment? If so, please do one. • • How will the children along Locust Grove get to school when the sidewalk is placed off of this street? Will they still be bused or will the sidewalk take away the option of accessibility of a bus? Would you allow your children to walk or ride a bike down a five lane thoroughfare to get to school? Will you be placing a bike path along this thoroughfare for the children and residents along Locust Grove? Another concern that we have is access to Locust Grove Road from my driveway. Currently, we are experiencing difficulty getting in and out of our driveway. When the extra entrances are placed for accessibility to the shopping center, entering and exiting our home will become even more difficult. • What type of help will you give to the residents along Locust Grove so that we can maintain some sort of ease of accessibility. • Will you help us by providing circular driveways so that we do not have to back up into this major thoroughfare? • When planning this road, can the undeveloped property donate the greatest portion of right- of-way for this road? Please do not take away the little bit of privacy that we have left in our front yard. • If in fact you do take away 15 feet of our front yard, will you help me with the revamping of our sprinkler system so that it works properly. • If you take away the mature trees that now proudly stand in our front yard, will you replace them with mature trees. Your consideration of these questions and concerns would be greatly appreciated. We humbly ask you, the caretakers of our streets, to please listen to the children and residents who live off of Locust Grove Road. Help us to maintain some sort of quality of our lives and for the safety of our children. Sincerely, l~L~ ~~, ~ ~~~ Charles H. and Mary Z.

Several of my neighbors have received certified letters informing them of the council meeting that will beheld on January 10, 1994 regarding the new development which will be located east of my home. For some unknown reason I did not receive this letter. It is my understanding that I should be given proper notification since I am in direct line of fire of this tragic development that will eventually eat up a portion of my front lawn (not to mention the decreased value of our property, the increased noise volume and difficulty we will experience in getting in and out of our driveway). I realize that growth cannot be stopped; however, I would appreciate the courtesy of being properly notified by your office. In the minutes for this evenings City Council meeting please make note that Charles H. and Mary Z. Cahoon who reside at 1875 N. Locust Grove Road did not receive~f proper notification. Thank you.

We currently do some of our grocery shopping at the Meridian Albertsons. We do the rest at the Boise or Nampa Fred Meyers and Waremarts. We are also very anxious to see parks come in that we can take our children to. We would also love to see the Meridian Swimming pool initiate a family swimming pass for the summer. Sincerely, Gordon and Frances Margulieux i • February 3, 1995 Mayor Kingford, ~~~ - ~ ~`~~-~- City Council Members, ~ - ~~-:~: .,, j s,~ Planning & Zoning Board ~ ~ ~~ `T' ""`" " ~' °, 33 East Idaho Meridian, Idaho 83642 Gentlemen, I am writing you in regard to the Fred Meyer and the Key Bank applications far conditional use permits to build on the property at Fairview and North Locust Grove Roads. As you know I am very much opposed to this large of a commercial development being built so close to residential areas. Since it will most likely become an unwanted reality, I ask you to have the decency to see to it that the residential areas which border this development receive every consideration possible as to buffering to protect the value and enjoyment of these properties for their owners. The following are things which I see as being important to keeping this development as least intrusive as possible. 1). The 1998 widening of North Locust Grove should be taken into account by the plan. With all of the footage coming from the east side of the road since the homes on the west sit so close to the road already the property owners would loose not only land but mature landscaping,privacy,and some other essential improvements such as wells which they would not be fully compensated for by ACHD. 2). The exit that is the first one to the north of Carol Street should be eliminated as it will cause the homes opposite it to be constantly in the glare of headlights at night from cars pulling out on to Locust Grove Road. 3). The lighting on the buildings and in the parking areas should be hooded and directed away from the residential areas. Mercury vapor lights would be preferable as they are less glaring and intrusive. Also areas lighted by it appear more attractive. 4). The berms along the east side of North Locust Grove Road should be at least 4 feet above the finished level of the parking areas and sidewalks, so that car lights will not shine over them into the adjacent homes. • Page 2, AVEST project, Elizabeth Gwin 5). The landscaping should be substantial enough to screen car lights, lights from any doors or windows within view of the residential area, or any unattractive views such as the loading dock area at the back of the store that is visible from the residential areas.The plantings should be made up of attractive evergreens with only small amounts of deciduous plants used in order to provide a maximum screening effect for the nearby homes. 6). There should be no intrusion of noise from loudspeakers or from the speaker at tt~e bank drive by window into the residential area. 7). The business hours should be set so as to coincide somewhat with the opening and closing of the other businesses in the area. It would be best if the businesses closest to North Locust Grove Road opened no earlier than 8 am and closed by a least 6pm. and were the type that weren't open on weekends. 8). Another aspect of this project is the type of buildings to be put in place. We will have to look at it for a long time and it is also fronting along Fairview which is an entry way to Meridian so the buildings should be of attractive and durable materials such as stone or brick. The use of high maintenance materials such as stucco or wooden finishes should not be allowed as they can look very ugly if not constantly maintained. 9). Every effort should be made during construction to contain dirt, debris, and noise to the site. A water truck should be used to contain dust if needed and construction work should be confined to normal daytime working hours and should not be scheduled on weekends. In conclusion there are many people in the North Locust Grove area who are very much opposed to this development. They do not plan to patronize this shopping center at all. Their opposition is due to the developer's expectation that the surrounding properties and homes should adapt to this project instead of the project adapting to and compensating for the surrounding residential area. The developer should do everything possible to screen the residential areas from unwanted views, glare, and noise from this project. To not do this will only continue to evoke the ire of local residents and result in the loss of paying customers for the businesses to be located in the new shopping center. • • Page 3, AVEST project, Elizabeth A. Gwin I have tried to think of some of the things that should be addressed in order that the neighbors of this development can feel more comfortable with living next to it. I know that I have not thought of .all the things that could cause conflict.. I am asking that the Mayor, City Council, Planning & Zoning Board, and City Staff Please think carefully about every aspect of this development in order that it be of a quality that will be attractive for the long term and will not unreasonably affect nearby property owner's quality of life. Your kind attention to the matters set down in this letter is appreciated. Sincerely, ~lizabeth A. Gavin, Homeowner and Taxpayer `" 7FFICIA~S WILLIAM G. BERG. JR.. City Clerk JANICE L. GASS.

During the public hearing several people stated that they had not received notification via certified mail. Since that time we have checked the mailing list provided with the applications and several errors have been found. As the original notification mailing was not complete and accurate, we would like to have the City mail new public hearing notifications for all three applications and hold an additional public hearing. Enclosed is a revised mailing list and payment for the three new mailings. Please mail notifications for all three applications and schedule us for another public hearing at the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting on February 14, 1995. ^ PHONE (2081343.5223, FAX 343.4954 380 EAST PARKCENTER BLVD.

Locust Grove Road in Meridian. Several of my neighbors have received certified letters informing them of the council meeting that will be held on January 10, 1994 regarding the new development which will be located east of my home. For some unknown reason I did not receive this letter. It is my understanding that I should be given proper notification since I am in direct line of fire of this tragic development that will eventually eat up a portion of my front lawn (not to mention the decreased value of our property, the increased noise volume and difficulty we will experience in getting in and out of our driveway). I realize that growth cannot be stopped; however, I would appreciate the courtesy of being properly notified by your office. In the minutes for this evenings City Council meeting please make note that Charles H. and Mary Z. Cahoon who reside at 1875 N. Locust Grove Road did not received proper notification. Thank you.

KINGSFORD Mayor MEMORANDUM: TO: Plannin d Zoning CQ` ~npission, Mayor and Council o~~. FROM: Shari L. Stiles, Planning and Zoning Administrator DATE: January 8, 1995 SUBJECT: Preliminary Plat for Avest Plaza by Avest Limited Partnership 1. ACHD's Technical Review included a request for Applewood to extend into the project. While this would be desirable from a traffic and neighborhood circulation standpoint, the impact to the adjacent Mirage Meadows would be undesirable. Storage units should remain as shown to buffer adjacent subdivision. 2. Pedestrian access route along eastern boundary would be contingent on obtaining access through existing lot to connect to Mirage Meadows. How does Applicant propose tying into the northern properties with pedestrian access? Also, Development Agreement proposes 10' walkway with 5' of landscaping on each side along the easterly boundary. Have agreements been entered into with adjacent property owners to make up additional 10' required? 3. ACHD has requested only that a 5' sidewalk be installed along Fairview Avenue, without curb and gutter. ACHD policy requires a 7' sidewalk in the future. Applicant is to ensure proposed 54' right-of-way from centerline will accommodate future ROW requirements and still meet landscape setback of 35' . 4. Large parking area does not appear to have a lot number. This area needs to have a separate lot number. 5. Include year of recording under sectional location. 6. Submit proposed restrictive covenants and deed restrictions for review. 7. Carol Street should be aligned-with first entrance on Locust Grove to alleviate conflicts with Carol Street and southbound traffic on Locust Gmve turning into Avest property. • Planning 8~ Zoning Commission, Mayor and Council January 8, 1995 Page Two 8. Applicant will likely request modification or variance to ACRD requirements. 9. Applicant is to respond to staff and agency comments in writing. 10. A development agreement has been approved for this project but has not yet been executed. Results of the preliminary platting and conditional use permit process will require changes to the approved development agreement prior to execution. In order to not delay the project an entire month, Irecommend -that the public hearing be left open to incorporate ACHD's comments into the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, if possible, and allow Applicant to address staff and agency comments. • HUB OF TREASURE VALLEY OFFICIALS A Good Place to Live WILLIAM G.

Hepper: Second Johnson: We have a motion and a second to approve the findings of fact and conclusions of law, roll call vote. ROLL CALL VOTE: Hepper -Yea, Rountree -Yea, Shearer -Yea, Alidjani -Absent. MOTION CARRIED: All Yea Johnson: Recommendation for the City Council? Rountree: Mr. Chairman, I move that the Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission recommends to the City Council that they approve the conditional use permit. Shearer: Second Johnson: Moved and seconded that we pass a favorable recommendation onto the City Council as stated, alt those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea ITEM #6: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR AVEST PLAZA BY AVEST LIMITED PARTNERSHIP: Johnson: I will now open the public hearing. If there is a representative for the applicant present for the applicant would you please come forward and address the Commission at this time? Steve Sweet, 960 Broadway, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney. Sweet: I am here to represent the Avest Partnership, we have reviewed the staff s recommendations. We have some comment on the letter from Shari to the Commission. Johnson: What is the date of that letter please? Sweet: The date is January 8, 1995, it is to the Commission from Shari. It has 10 points ~- Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission January 10, 1995 Page 6 which she addresses for the project. In addition to Shari's comments, we also have met with the Ada County Highway District today and have some modifications and additional agreements between the applicant and the Highway District. Mr. Larry Sale is here to answer those or verify those comments that I may make. I would like to go through the letter by Shari, condition 1 is that ACHD's technical review had included a request for Applewood to extend, following conversations today the Highway District is no longer requesting that connection. I should say the Highway District is agreeable to deleting that connection. The plat as submitted would delete that Applewood right of way extension. Item #2 addresses pedestrian access route along the eastern boundary, this is a cooperative project between the applicant and adjacent property owners. The applicant is desirous to cooperate with the City and help in bringing this about. We will work with the City and providing the path. I think as you recall there is a neighbor to the east who would also have to participate in this. For the record the applicant is agreeable to this matter. Numbers 3, 4 and 5, no comment. Number 6 the submit proposed restrictive covenants, that is part of the development agreement, and we agree with that. Carol Street, we are presently in discussions with the Highway District on the alignment with the access to the site, the alignment with Carol. We would like to request that the commission make a recommendation with the conditions of the highway district to govern on this particular point. That concludes, we are in agreement with the findings, or with the recommendationstyith Shari and stand for any questions you may have on this. Johnson: Thank you very much, any questions from the Commission to the applicant? Rountree: You have seen the comments from the City Engineer as well? Sweet: Yes sir. Rountree: Do you have problems with any of those? Sweet: The letter I am looking at is January 5th, and we are in agreement with that, with the six conditions shown on that. Rountree: Actually there are 13, there are 2 pages. Sweet: Pardon me, 13. Hepper: How many access points will there be off Fairview and Locust Grove? Sweet: Along Locust Grove there are 3 shown and proposed, I believe, I will have to look at my sketch here. Along Fairview the Dixie Lane access with the Highway District has been dropped. We are presently discussing the four points along there as to whether they Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission January 10, 1995 Page 7 are going to be, actually whether there are going to be 3 or 2 full plus 2 right in and right outs. I am looking at Mr. Sale to see if he is going to give me a nod of the head in either direction. I got a smile that is good enough. Hepper: I know there has been some comment about the accesses on Locust Grove, are those cast in stone. Is that the Highway District that determines the number of accesses? Sweet: The Highway District has a policy that relates to frontage and number of access points. I believe that we are in agreement on Locust Grove on the number of access points. There is some discussion on the location of Carol, as I have said we would request your approval contingent upon an agreement with the Highway District on that point. Hepper: There are some residences on the other side that would be impacted by those, by those accesses. I don't know if it is possible or not but I would like to see one of those accesses eliminated but I don't know if it is possible or not. Going from the City Ordinance and ACRD recommendations. Sweet: The caution I would put to you is quite a bit of the traffic in the center will be using Locust Grove, if we start limiting the number of access points then we start having big conflicts with vehicles out in Locust Grove Road trying to get in. If we can disperse those I know we can get a better traffic flow out there. Johnson: Any further questions from the Commission? Thank you very much we will give you an opportunity at the end of the hearing if you would like to address some of the comments. Sweet: I appreciate the opportunity. Johnson: This is a public hearing, is there anyone else that would like to address the commission at this time? Robert Stucker, 1432 Carol Street, was sworn by the City Attorney. Stucker: It is mostly opinion so I don't know if this is going to be true or false. I have some comments, one is that something is going to go there sooner or later. The next one. is that I bank in Meridian and buy my groceries in Meridian but for the large part or at least half I like to go to Boise or Nampa to spend my money. I would like to do that in Meridian. Two more comments, number 1 I would like to see some kind of a buffer between them and the residents along Locust Grove and Carol. And the next one is that I would prefer not to have that aligned with Carol Street because I don't want people coming out of Fred Meyer and going over there to see what my house looks like. So, I would prefer not to have an • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission January 10, 1995 Page 8 entry/exit aligned with Carol Street. Those are my only comments. Johnson: Thank you very much, any questions? Anyone else that would like to come forward at this time? Mary Cahoon, 1875 North Locust Grove, was sworn by the City Attorney. Cahoon: Like I said just a couple of seconds ago, I am right off of Locust Grove. I have many concerns, I have 2 small children. This is not an emotional issue, this is a factual issue that we are addressing here. I did submit a letter today, I did not receive proper notification regarding this meeting. I guess my neighbors received some certified letters regarding this particular hearing. I didn't receive the notification and I don't know if that makes any difference or not. A few of my concerns are since we live right off of Locust Grove ~s far as when we have visitors will they be able to park at the curb. I don't know, also I have a family. I have a chain link fence in front of my home, I know that you will be taking, it is going to be like 45 feet from the center line of the road, so you are going to take a portion of my front yard which isn't real nice. I don't really know how to deal with all of this as a homeowner. When I remove my fence I have a dog I have to worry about. How soon is the road going to be widened, is it going to be 5 lanes like you say. I don't know, the access in and out of my home is difficult right now with all the traffic that we have. When this comes to be, if you are going to put these entrances right at my front window or my bedroom window. The noise level is already really loud, how much louder is this going to get? I have a lot of concerns. Shearer: How far up Locust Grove? Cahoon: There is the floral place, there is the house right there by Carol, there is another brick house right after that, a duplex, not a duplex a 2 story house and then there is another house and then there is my house. Johnson: Are you finished? Cahoon: I think so, I will breathe now. Johnson: Any questions? Crookston: Have you delivered the letter to the City? Cahoon: Yes, they received it today. Johnson: Any other questions? Thank you very much, anyone else from the public that • s Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission January 10, 1995 Page 9 would like to come forward? Don Brian, 2070 North Locust Grove Road, was sworn by the City Attorney. Brian: I could save us all a bunch of time if I can make a recording and send it to all of these meetings. My concern is I want to go on record as the same ditto that I have gone through all the other meetings on the water situation. I had conversations with the developers and they assured me they will take care of my needs, but I just want to be on record that nothing has been done yet as of our meeting last whenever the water went out last year. Something has to be done with that ditch that they terminated. The gentlemen earlier said that he is working in cooperation with the developers to the east, maybe they can work in cooperation and alleviate the ditch problem instead of pointing the other finger. I feel comfortable with the developer and what my dealings with him that he is going to do it but I just want to go on record and make sure it gets done before the water comes in next year. Also I had a question with what is going to happen with Dixie Lane, I haven't heard. Every time I see a new plat it is gone or it is added or it is made into a bike path or it has become some sort of a walkway. At one time when Kearney Meadows and the other developments back there that was an emergency access. The only reason why you let Kearney Meadows develop is because that was an emergency access for vehicles with break away ballards and a right of way through their lot lines back in that subdivision. What is going to happen with that, is that going to become part of the pathway? Where does that path go, when it comes past into their development does it go out to Fairview or does it come down to Locust Grove, is it involved with their development. Also, I don't know if this is the time to discuss it or not, but my property abuts the property that is not involved with this CUP at this time. I don't know what this is going to impact with the property between me and the shopping center but, I guess my question is, is that going to have to go through an individual CUP, the undeveloped portion? Once they start developing this portion that the shopping center is going in are they going to provide any fencing or buffering to screen off all the construction garbage and (inaudible) the people and noise around the residential areas. I think that is all I have. Johnson: Okay Don, any questions for Mr. Brian? Anyone else from the public that would like to come fonnrard? Shari Mansayon, 1555 Carol, was sworn by the City Attorney. Mansayon: I have a couple of questions. The question that the lady had before wasn't clearly answered. When is this 5 lane highway project is supposed to take place. Will this development be on City water or are they going to drill wells? City water and sewer? I do have a concern with the road alignment, in previous meetings that I attended with this Avest they were going to try and keep that intersection away from Carol Street. They were • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission January 10, 1995 Page 10 not too interested in providing any type of a buffer any higher than 2 feet. Those are my concerns. Johnson: Thank you Shari, anyone else? Cheryl Botkin, 1805 North Locust Grove, was sworn by the City Attorney. Botkin: I have the same concern I am as the other woman said directly impacted on this. I am smack across the street from this development. I am 3 houses down from Fairview, so I am right across the street. My concern is the same thing, what is going to, we are all. on, there are 4 of us that are on a well. Are we going to have sewer, is this going to be same type of thing. Also, I think there definitely needs to be a buffer there. I also have children, I am a little concerned that the traffic as has already been stated, there is considerable traffic now and I can't imagine what that is going to do to specifically those five houses along the road. I guess I just want questions answered that way. Johnson: Thanks Karen Blayney, 2000 North Applewood, was sworn by the City Attorney. Blayney: I do have some of the same concerns that Don has. My property, there is going to be a little bit of a buffer zone between me and the construction area. I do have some concerns about the noise and the dirt and everything when they -are doing all this construction back there. One of my other concerns is there are probably a lot of gophers in that hayfield out there, I wonder if somebody is going to help me pay the fee to get rid of them when they decide to move to my back yard. Because I already have a problem. I would also like to see maybe just 2 accesses out onto Locust Grove because of all the traffic that is going to dump out there. That is it. Johnson: Thank you, is there anybody else that would like to come forward at this time? Larry Dirken, 2936 Waterbury Place, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney. Crookston: I think it would be appropriate, this meeting is not to answer questions. I am sorry, it is just apublic-hearing for the public to present their testimony. If you have questions you should get a hold of the developer or City staff. I am sorry but we don't answer questions at this time. I do say though if you do have questions ask them to the developer or the City staff. Please. Dirken: I am with the development group that is developing this parcel. I just thought it would be a good idea for me to make a couple of clarifications tonight for the audience • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission January 10, 1995 Page 11 here. I am not going to answer any questions but I just want to point out a few things so that everyone has a little better understanding on the berming, on the buffering and on the access points onto Locust Grove. On the overhead you can see on Locust Grove this is a site plan of a portion of the development. You can see we have landscaping along Locust Grove Road, that will screen the parking lot head lights and things from the residential areas to the west. The access points that we are proposing on Locust Grove are not aligning at this time with I believe that is Carol Street. We have done a traffic. study for this project and submitted it to ACHD and the City. We are working with the recommendations of the traffic engineer and with ACHD on the access locations and the number of locations. The property to the west which would be the other side of .Locust Grove we have met with those property owners and we have a special agreement with them. It's in a development agreement with the City that provides some berming on the west side of Locust Grove, we are providing an material for them and providing some money for them to do their own landscaping on their berming. I just wanted you to know that is an off site matter, it is in a development agreement between Avest and the City. In addition, in that development agreement, the matter of construction debris and fencing is handled and we are fencing the construction areas. t don't believe that is going to be a problem. So I thought it would be helpful to bring that up. That is it. Shearer: I have a question, in looking at your site plan it appears that most of the exits on Locust Grove comes out on approximately the lot lines of the houses across the street. So that it appears in this drawing to be that it doesn't line up with the houses, it lines up between the houses, is that correct? Dirken: I am not prepared to answer that, I don't know. If that is the case frankly it is coincidence. Shearer: That is what I wondered if these other lots were drawn to scale (inaudible). Dirken: You are talking the land to the west then? I really don't know. The landscaping area along the eastern edge of the property is a raised berm area. It will be a nice landscaping berm along there, also on Fairview along the front. Hepper: Is the berm on the west side there, is that a 2 foot high berm, is that what you said? Dirken: It isn't just a study, it depends on where you are measuring it from. It rolls and if you were to go from the elevation above the center line of Locust Grove I think it would vary from 2 to 6 feet depending on the location. Hepper: Would the landscaping on top of the berm that you have shown there would that • • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission January 10, 1995 Page 12 be a solid screen landscaping or are those low lying shrubs? Dirken: They are low lying shrubs and trees, it is a combination. I don't know if you are familiar with the center that we developed in southeast Boise, there is an Albertson's and a ICmart over there, it is the same type of landscaping plan. Hepper: I think one of the big issues is the buffering for the houses across the road from head lights and of course noise and stuff. I just wondered if it would be possible to make that berm instead of a 2 foot minimum maybe a 3 or 3 1/2 foot minimum to try and block out the headlights as much as possible. Dirken: With our design we have addressed that as well as we can with the headlights. It has been my experience you are going to get some of that, but from the day the project opens it will be addressed as well as it can and as the landscaping matures. You can see it is a solid row of shrubs in there, I am really confident that the problem will get better and better as we go along. I just wanted to point out one other thing, the land to the north or parcel 2 you can see there is a loop road. There is a 300 foot distance from that loop road to the next property line. One of the gentlemen who stood up was talking about the irrigation water. There is 300 feet from that loop road to his house. This isn't the entire parcel this is just the shopping center portion of it. Crookston: Mr. Dirken, as I understood Mr. Sweet's testimony there were going to be 3 accesses to Locust Grove as I read this map I see 2. Dirken: Actually there are 3 (inaudible) Any other questions? Johnson: With respect to the notes on the preliminary plat that you have submitted we have in our packet it says in very fine ink here that Locust Grove berm shall have a planting screen 4 feet high and 4 feet wide. To screen from headlight glare I believe it says. Dirken: May I glance at that? Johnson: Sure, go ahead. (Inaudible) Dirken: That is very fine print isn't it. There is a large blueprint, do we have one of those here? (Inaudible) • /~ Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission January 10, 1995 Page 13 Dirken: I am going to walk over to the screen here. Are we clear that this is the berm that you are talking about on this side of the street here? Johnson: Yes Dirken: The elevation of that berm varies, it isn't just a straight plane, but the width of it from back of the curve to the inside of the parking lot would be about 20 feet in width as shown on the plans that we have submitted and in accordance with our development agreement. The elevation, it will flow to it, we think it looks better, the landscape architects (inaudible) it looks better if it rolls instead of just being a straight wall. The width from here to here is 20 feet give or take a few inches. I am not sure exactly where this is in the development, (inaudible). This is the west side of the street, this person standing in their yard across the street on the west side of Locust Grove. So people that were concerned about that, their backyards, they are going to have a berm here and then this is Locust Grove. The berm that we are building in the shopping center portion of the project it is a design that we have done successfully in southeast Boise. It has worked out very well, we have had many compliments from the immediate neighbors and the surrounding areas. It is the same type of design that we are doing here. It looked very nice when they opened and it has been open for a few years now and it is very attractive. We feel it is the best that can be done under the circumstances. Hepper: I guess I would like to hear from some of the property owners across the road on how they feel about that because I know that is one of the big issues. I don't understand why a 4 foot berm can be put on their side of the street but not on your side of the street. I realize that. Dirken: We do have a berm on our side of the street. Hepper: Yes, but from what I understand it goes from 2 to 6 feet, it rolls up and down. Dirken: If you wanted an average (inaudible) the design is per the development agreement that the City and the elevations are per the development agreement that we have worked out with the City. Hepper: With the staff? Dirken: Yes (Inaudible) Dirken: We have an overhead that shows the berm on our project on the east side of • ! Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission January 10, 1995 Page 14 Louust Grove. Unfortunately it doesn't show up for the audience to see. I do have .an 81 /2 by 11 I can pass. But it really, the head lights from cars parked up in that area, it really shouldn't be a problem for the people across the street. We have had meetings with the people across the street, the people from Avest that have, we just really feel that we have addressed that concern with them. Hepper: According to this the berm would be 4 feet wide, I realize it goes up and down, just so it is high enough to block out the head lights I think that is the major concern. Dirken: Particularly with the planting, I really believe that has been handled. Johnson: Are there any other questions? We would appreciate it if you would leave those overheads with us. Anyone else from the public like to come forward? Wilma John, 1845 West Carol, was sworn by the City Attorney. John: I have a major concern with, we live on Carol Street, with that access granted it is not exactly lined up, but it is lined up enough that we have a hard enough time getting (End of Tape) concern is, you said it was a 5 lane road that is going in. Are they going to put sidewalks down Locust Grove? Johnson: We will have Mr. Sale from ACRD address that before we leave tonight. John: The reason I ask this is because from my understanding Chief Joseph is changing over to a walk school which means there are no buses. At the present time our children our safety bussed to the school because we have one access off of our street and that is Locust Grove. So they are bussed from Locust Grove down to Chief Joseph, so when that stops where do our children go? How do they get to school, they. have to walk down a major street. We are talking kindergarten through 5th grade here we are not talking high school kids or middle school students. I think these are major issues that need to be resolved before they start putting in the development. That is afl I have to say. Johnson: Thank you, someone else had their hand up. Barry Gwen, 1515 South Carol Street, was sworn by the City Attorney. Gwen: Chairman Johnson and members of the Commission, I think what we are looking for as people that are going to have to live close to this development is a clear buffer between the development and the residences along Carol Street and along Loucst Grove. One of the concerns that we have was lights from the cars in the parking lot. And one of the recommendationswas a 4 foot berm. I think that we need that 4 foot berm. Whether • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission January 10, 1995 Page 15 that berm oscillates up and down along and has a 4 foot minimum height or with the shrubbery and the soil in combination. If it is a solid shrub, not 10 years from now but in the date that they put this thing installed is has a 4 foot height to retain that light from the vehicles coming from the parking lot. I think that is what we are asking for. That is what we would like to see. Also, I have one more concern and that is the lighting on the parking lot itself. In other areas adjacent to us that have recently been developed a lot of lighting, the parking lot lighting and the lighting off the stores has been set so that it shines into the yards and into the back doors and into the front windows of the adjacent homes. We would like to see some kind of lighting screening or make sure that lighting is set so that those parking lot lights don't light it up like the middle of daytime out there. We want to have some sort of screening for our residences. Those are the 2 things that I would like to bring up. Thank you. Johnson: Thank you, is there anyone else that would like to address the Commission? Sheryl Todd, 1820 North 13th, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney. Todd: My main concern is with the property south of this development. Just a concern, if there is a possible solution great. Currently there is a proposed stop light through, that would be suggested or proposed on Fairview where the street which kind of would surround the development currently. One thing that Johnson: Excuse me, you lost me. Todd: Okay, if you look at the development plan, there is a proposed signal stop light and it would be east of Locust Grove and Fairview. Johnson: When you said around you kind of lost me, I see where you are talking about. Todd: The property directly south of the proposed project could very well tie into that proposed stop light and then divert traffic onto Wilson Lane. Which would be a positive way to relieve traft'IC from the proposed shopping center without necessarily having to go right straight onto Fairview but possibly divert across into the property next door and then divert onto Wilson Lane and then back over to Locust Grove. You will probably notice that at the mall currently in Boise there are a few diversions that allow for people to get traffic from the mall back onto Emerald or back onto Milwaukee etc. The way they have that proposed signal it would be wonderful to have that possibly moved even further east just because it would allow for a through traffic property and then it could be connected back to Wilson Lane. This is just as a concern for the property south of the proposed development. And just a positive way to plan for a diversion of traffic that could be connected back into Wilson Lane. I am not certain if you understand where Wilson Lane Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission January 10, 1995 Page 16 is in conjunction with this property, but currently if it was further east or further west either way it would go right next door to D & B or give enough room for a plat straight across from the proposed development. Right now it wouldn't allow for a very strong plat because it would be going directly through the property south of the proposed project. Is that clear? I am not showing you a plat map on-the screen so I am concerned that you may not be able to see it. I will address my concerns with the developer and ACRD, thank you. Johnson: is there anyone else that would like to come forward? Did you have a quick comment you wanted to add? Cahoon: The gentleman that was just up here from Avest he said that we had meetings prior to this about the berming and stuff. The only time I have been contacted was after I spoke here this evening the first. I just wanted to say that I haven't been contacted prior to this evening about that by them. And then I guess my one other thing I wanted to say was the loading docks for Fred Meyers if they could do it opposite where we are located. I know those trucks moving in and out are really noisy. If there was anyway possible that maybe they could do that on the opposite side of the building from Locust Grove I would really appreciate that too. That is it. Johnson: Thank you, is there anyone else? Botkin: I just want to say that I was never contacted either, this is the first I have heard of anything as far as berming or anything else. So when he says he has talked to the neighbors on North Locust Grove there are 2 right there that haven't' been contacted. Crookston: I have a question for you, Mrs. Botkin, is your property, does it abut or front on Locust Grove? Botkin: It is facing North Locust Grove. Crookston: Thank you. Johnson: Mr. Sale, could you come forward so we coudl ask you a few questions please? Larry Sale, 318 East 37th Street, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney. Johnson: Would you comment please regarding the planning to widen Locust Grove and also address the question whether or not there would be sidewalks? Sale: Mr. Chairman, members of the Commission, in connection with this development if it goes ahead the Highway District will cooperate with the developing in financing the • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission January 10, 1995 Page 17 improvements to the east side of Locust Grove Road from Fairivew Avenue to the north boundary of Mr. Brian's property to tie in with the existing improvements on the east side of Locust Grove Road. We will acquire right of way from the developer and from Mr. Brian and then finance those improvements with the exception of sidewalk from the impact fee revenue. The sidewalk will be constructed at the expense of the developer but will be installed. Sidewalk will also be installed along Fairivew Avenue. The completion of the improvements on Loucst Grove Road from Fairview to the end of the existing improvements on Locust Grove is currently included in the Highway District program for construction in 1998. I can assure the improvements won't occur prior to that time, that date may slip although we understand the need for the improvements. Certainly it is a high priority project with the Highway District. The ditch that. Mr. Brian mentioned will be properly replaced or piped or whatever is necessary for it in conjunction with that improvement. Anything else on that? Johnson: I don't think so, unless you have some comments regarding the alignment of the street of Carol Street and the number of accesses off Locust Grove and also the proposed signalization east of Locust Grove? Sale: The site plan proposes and the Highway District approves of a total of 3 access points to Locust Grove Road. The ring road as we call it is the northern most connection with Locust Grove Road and it is located directly across from, let me re-phrase that. The preliminary plat shows that road as located directly across Locust Grove Road from a lot line in the subdivision on the west side of Locust Grove. So it appears that headlights entering the street there will be between dwellings. Those lots are quite large and presumably there is a good separation from the dwellings to their property line. The second drive way is currently shown to mis-align Carol Street. The Highway District will require that driveway align directly with Carol for some very important safety reasons. Secondarily this wilt also eliminate the glare of headlights coming out of, that will be the prime entrance on Locust Grove road going directly pass the front of the store. That re- alignment will direct headlights down the street instead of into dwellings. The third access on Locust Grove Road as I look at the site plan also I think we are very fortunate our designer was very prudent or careful here, that driveway also appears to align with a property line on the west side of Locust Grove Road. Obviously there are some, there are driveways on the site that will also direct headlights toward Locust Grove Road and a few parking spaces that point at Locust Grove Road. Perhaps the landscape designer could take that into account and place higher elevations of the berm in front of those driveways that point west and it might alleviate the glare of headlights additionally. With regard to Fairview Avenue, if the lady who spoke discussing the location of the signal ever wants a job as a traffic engineer I think I can find her one, because the points that she addressed are very important considerations in the location of a trafi'ic signal. And that is to locate a traffic signal so that proper sequencing of the lights are possible to move traffic through • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission January 10, 1995 Page 18 smoothly but secondly to create platoons of traffic with gaps in between so other vehicles can access the arterial from the side. First of all we don't want to have any traffic signals but if we have to have them we want to have them on, we prefer them to be on 1/3 mile intervals no closer together than 1/4 mile. So her point of moving the signal, let me back up and say there will be no traffic signal in connection with this project. It isn't warranted and we would not approve one in the location that it is shown. When a traffic signal is warranted it will be located no further west than the east boundary of this site which is the current Dixie Lane and preferably about 400 feet further east as the lady pointed out. There will be, let me point out that this next point is something with which the applicant has some significant disagreements with ACHD staff and I suspect that won't be resolved until the Highway District Commission meet on the application next week. ACHD staff is recommending that there be no more than 3 driveways on Fairview Avenue, 2 of those will be full service, the one closest to Locust Grove will be a right in and right out exit only. That is~the driveway that serves the bank pad there on the corner. On that point there is no significant disagreement between the staff and applicant, there is disagreement, they prefer to have 4 driveways and we prefer that they have 3. As I pointed out we will not be able to forward official ACHD action to the City until next Thursday at which time the official action will be relayed to the City as based on what the Commissioners decide to do. Are there any other questions? Johnson: Only if you know what is going to happen to Dixie Lane since that was brought up. Sale: The applicant has proposed and we certainly support the provision of a pedestrian way from the northeast comer of this site down to about the mid-point of the east boundary where the entrance to the storage complex is and then that would be a pedestrian/bicycle access into this site. That access would not extend to Fairview and with that it would be our intent to discontinue any vehicular access from Fairview into what is now known as Dixie Lane. This may take some time to accomplish and will require the cooperation of landowners to the north. There is one parcel just at the northeast corner of this site which currently I think impedes the construction of any pedestrian way out of that residential area down the east boundary. I am sure as you read in our staff report candidly the highway district staff feels that it would be in everyone's best interest if Applewood were extended into the project. We, from our previous meetings we have had with neighbors and with the Commission here we understand the opposition of the residents to that and we drop that as a requirement. Although we feel that it would be still in the best interest of the neighborhood to have that connection but we are not making ,that requirement. There will be a provision for pedestrians and bicyclists to access this site from the residential area but not vehicles. Johnson: Thanks Larry, any questions from the other Commissioners? • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission January 10, 1995 Page 19 Rountree: You talked about improvements on the east side of Locust Grove at the interchange, what is the timing here. Is the timing for the west side of that at the same time you stated for the rest, 1998? Sale: Mr. Chairman, Commissioner Rountree, yes, the improvements on the east side will be in conjunction with the development of this site. The west side is currently programmed for 1998. Rountree: What do you envision the typical section for the roadway to be at that location? Sale: Mr. Chairman, Commissioner Rountree, the cross section from Fairview up to the end of the existing improvements will be four driving lanes and one left turn lane, one continuous 2 way left turn lane. We can't afford to extend those improvements further north at this time. Probably some time in the future we will have to do so at least put in left turn lanes at Chateau. But at this time I am reasonably sure that we will live with the existing section from the north boundary of this property further north. It is essentially a four lane section there. Hepper: Is the need for widening Locust Grove generated by this project or will that be done anyway whether this project is done or not? Sale: Mr. Chairman, Commissioners Hepper, no, the need for Locust Grove is the residential growth the area has experienced. Hepper: So this is not the determining factor whether Locust Grove is widened or not? Sale: That is correct. Johnson: Any other questions? Thanks Larry, I appreciate that. Are there any comments from staff at this time? Is there anyone else from the public that would like to come forward? Roger Allen, 9647 West Pebblebrook Lane, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney. Allen: I just wanted to address one issue that has come up and I don't mean to be doing our traffic planning here before this Commission. Several, of the residents have been discussing Carol Street and the alignment there into the shopping center. I have been involved in this project over 2 1/2 years now. Some of the gentlemen that are working on it now in terms of engineering and architecture and so forth did not have some of that background. So I thought that just very quickly I would state that from very early discussions with the neighbors and I might add that we had 2 general public not hearings • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission January 10, 1995 Page 20 but meetings right here in this hall and invited over 90 neighbors to those meetings for the very purpose of discussing their concerns and primarily along Locust Grove because that is where the residents are. And from the very beginning there was a concern expressed that the folks in Doris Subdivision which is Carol Street in Meridian preferred that the alignment into the shopping center not line up and go directly into the shopping center. I think that was voiced at several of those hearings and probably at our earlier P & Z meetings on our annexation and zoning applications. While Larry is here and I had the opportunity this afternoon to discuss just briefly with Dave of Fred Meyer the possibility of off-setting that alignment with Carol Street 125 feet. What I would like to do Larry is just, I know that you have discussed it in a lot of different ways if that were to be moved 125 feet to the south which would make it closer to the Key Bank that we have been referring to, is that something that then comes within the (inaudible) of the requirements of ACHD or is that an alternative that we can consider to try to accommodate those in Doris Subdivision. Johnson: If you would like to answer that go ahead Larry, if you do you (inaudible). Sale: Mr. Chairman, members of the Commission, I won't rule that out but it would probably conflict with the, we have some pretty severe set-backs from Fairview for that first driveway. I won't rule it out as something that can be evaluated. Allen: That is fine, I think our engineers have addressed that issue and I believe that we fall within the proper distances required by ACHD from Fairview Avenue. The only reason I am pursuing this is because there has been some discussion in the back and it seems to be a major issue and is something I thought we might be able to clear up here. But basically then you are saying if we meet the setbacks from Fairview and we are 125 feet south of Carol that would be an alternative that we could talk about then next week. Johnson: I think what he said was he wouldn't rule it out. (Inaudible) Allen: That is the only comments I had unless you have questions? Johnson: Anyone else that would like to add something to the meeting? Something we haven't heard. Mansayon: I believe if I am not misunderstanding here that this ditch, the first I have heard of it is to be abandoned and I take it this is the ditch on the edge of my property that is going to take a 4 foot berm. Who is going to pay for covering this ditch and putting the the in or whatever they are going to do with it? And who is going to move my well? Stucker: Something I want to request and I appreciate their trying to work with us. I still • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission January 10, 1995 Page 21 want to keep my shopping dollars in Meridian if I can. I want to do it with as least disruption to the neighborhood as I can. If that can not be realigned I request simply that they make provisions (inaudible) double speed bumps something to keep the traffic out of Carol Street. Anything they can do, I would prefer to see it re-aligned and I think most others do too, but if it can't be done at least help us out with what you can. Johnson: Thanks, I appreciate that. Is there anyone else before I close the public hearing here? Wayne, I need your guidance and would like you to let us know either now or soon about the letter of notification. I have concern with that, if somebody did not get property notified I would like to know why. Crookston: If there were people within 300 feet of the out boundaries of the project for the plat, if those people were not notified 2 things are a possibility. One is that the applicant get a hold of those people to see if they will waive their rights to notice, the other thing is that we re-notice this hearing and hold this hearing again. I think that we need to determine before a decision is made what the Ada County Assessors office which is the office that we use to determine the ownership of the property, who those owners were and who should have been notified. Johnson: I would like to see the list of notification at some time soon and see what we have got. Do you have that with you, is it by address as well? Mepper: Wayne, if they weren't notified but they were aware of the meeting and they showed up at the meeting does that (inaudible) to be notified? Crookston: It can yes, if they are here then they are aware of it. Johnson: What address are we talking about specifically with Mary Cahoon, that is what I am talking about. Clarke Burkett, 2041 North Applewood Place, was sworn by the City Attorney. Burkett: I have lived at this residence going on 3 years now in October and I get my tax thing at the right address but so far I have never gotten a letter from the original developer until I asked for one. I have that here in my file. Then the other day I get word from my neighbor, I just live across the street from it and I thought maybe I was just too far away but it is only 70 steps from my property line. Then I came down and talked to Mr. Berg and he didn't know how this would happen through the Assessors office or who. He gave me copies of the meetings that are coming up that is what I have with me. I don't know what route to go, I called Avest and I talked to Mrs. Weber and she didn't know who to get this from either. Are the developers supposed to get these addresses from the tax office or • • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission January 10, 1995 Page 22 what. 1 did have one of them brought to my door last, a week ago last Saturday but the mailman wouldn't give it to me because it was addressed to the former owner. He hasn't been here for, Mr. McGuire is in Provo, Utah. Maybe ha has been getting my mail I don't know. Johnson: Is Mr. McGuire or Mr. Burkett on that list? Crookston: I was looking for Mrs. Cahoon. (Discussion Inaudible) Crookston: All that the City can do is be guided by the Assessor's records, that should be the most up to date record as to who is the owner of the property, that is what we use that is what we will check on. If there are property owners that are in residence there but are not holders of the deed they would not show on those records and our ordinances do not require that they be notified because they are not deeded owners. Burkett: Where would the tax bill go then, I get that. Crookston: That can be done a couple different ways. Burkett: 1 am sure, there is a mortgage company in Ohio that I send a check to every month and I am sure they wouldn't let me live there if it wasn't in my name. Crookston: We wilt have to look into it. Shearer: Wouldn't you say Wayne that anybody that wasn't notified that is here tonight should talk to Avest and get their name on the mailing list because there will be another public hearing coming up. Crookston: Generally if the persons are here and have testified they have received the notice. Shearer: I was thinking for the City Council that will be notified (inaudible) here that doesn't have one that hasn't been notified should contact Avest and get their name on the list. Johnson: Okay, Crookston: The names that I am aware of that indicated. that they did not receive notice, are Mrs. Cahoon and Mr. Burkett, was another one? Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission January 10, 1995 Page 23 (Inaudible) Johnson: No, I think she just said that (inaudible) prior to the meeting I think is what she said. Okay, at this point then I will close the public hearing. What is your pleasure, I would like the Commission to consider the staffs comments particularly Shari Stiles with respect to the last point in her letter. (Inaudible) Crookston: I think you should table it if for no other reason then to find out what is going on with ACRD. Rountree: I think that is probably the best way to handle that to find out what ACHD's comments are going to be. Johnson: I think they are extremely important to this development. Rountree: If nobody else has any discussion on that Mr. Chairman I move that we table this item until (inaudible) ACRD on access into the proposed subdivision. Hepper: Second Johnson: We have a motion and a second that this item be tabled until we can incorporate written testimony from the upcoming, I think it is Thursday evening, is it Thursday evening? Sale: (Inaudible) Johnson: Well it is one of those 2 evenings thank you Larry, anyway we need a vote on the motion, all those in favor of the motion? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea ITEM #7: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A 3,000 SQUARE FOOT DRIVE-THRU BANKING FACILITY BY AVEST LIMITED PARTNERSHIP: Johnson: I will now open that public hearing. At this time I would invite the applicant to come forward or a representative if they would like to address the Commission on the application. Billy Ray Strite, 1087 River Street, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney. • MERIDIAN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 14. 1995 The regular meeting of the Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission was called to order by Chairman Jim Johnson at 7:30 P.M.: MEMBERS PRESENT: Tim Hepper, Charlie Rountree, Moe Alidjani: MEMBERS ABSENT: Jim Shearer: OTHERS PRESENT: Will Berg, Wayne Crookston, Gary Smith, Mr. & Mrs. John Longden, Mr. & Mrs. John Shipley, Karen Blayney, Diane Bealieu, Larry Durkin, David Lombardi, Bonnie Glick, Mary Creech, Marvin and Nancy Hansen, Ken Shelton, Kathleen Coulter, Mary Cahoon, Malcolm MacCoy, Lonny Detrima, Cecil Linda Powell, Jim Allen, Herbert Papenfuss, Wes Grave, Kathleen and Scott Weber, Tori McAlvain, Michael Donahue, Bev Donahue, Clark Burkett, Eileen Allison, Richard Cesler, Barry Gwin, Liz Gwin, Don Brian, Cheri Mansayon, Wayne Forrey, Matt Caris, Litia G., Clifford Babitt, Jim Merkle, Bill Brewer, Brandy Barnhardt, Keith Boots, Van Elg, Becky Bowcutt: MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING HELD JANUARY 10, 1995: The motion was made and seconded to approve the minutes for January 10, 1995. ITEM #1: TABLED JANUARY 10, 1995: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR AVEST PLAZA BY AVEST LIMITED PARTNERSHIP: Chairman Johnson opened the public hearing and invited the applicant to speak first. Durkin: There is a 5 foot sidewalk along the entire frontage of Locust Grove. Our off site improvements for Locust Grove we are providing soil for a landscape berm for the properties on the west side and we are providing certain compensation for some of the homeowners on the west side for landscape improvements. Alidjani: I have one question, when you mentioned there would be a variance height from 2 to 6 feet from the parking lot level, what is the difference if there is a between the parking tot level and the crown of the road on Locust Grove, is there any? Durkin: I don't know the answer to that, but I have a group of people with me tonight and I will be able to give you that answer shortly. I think that is such a sensitive subject that I would like to put up a drawing, we have a drawing of the berm. I personally find these difficult to really comprehend, this is the street, this would be Locust Grove looking north, this would be the sidewalk along Locust Grove. This is the berm and this is Fred Meyers, I hope to give an answer to that (inaudible). The off site improvements that we will construct include medians along Fairview Avenue, sidewalks around the project and obviously extending the necessary utilities to the project. From a platting standpoint that is the only comments I have right now. I will have additional comments for some of the • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission February 14, 1995 Page 2 others, I would be happy to answer any questions. Johnson: Thank you. i Rountree: The site improvements for the subdivision itself will come as a package not as each individual commercial pad is developed and then any responsibility of those individuals to provide landscaping, berming, etc. Durkin: The development agreement has, we have a, it is an agreement that the City Attorney drafted and provided to us, but it requires certain amounts of our on site work be done and bonded at one time but not all of it. But all of the perimeter landscaping is included in that, all of the perimeter sidewalks and all of the perimeter site work is included in that development agreement and we are required to do that all at one time. And then the entry drive ways that go into the project would be installed and landscaped at that time as well, it is identified in that agreement. I will be showing a large scale site plan of the Fred Meyer, Key Bank and the rest of the project when we get, if you like to see it now I would be happy to put it up now but I was going to put it up when we talk about Fred Meyer. Johnson: This is a public hearing, which I am told it is even though it was tabled, it might be a good idea to do that. I am afraid that anybody wanting to testify is going to address things other than the preliminary plat at this time. Does that make sense to you Wayne? Crookston: Yes Durkin: I think I would just like to express a concern we have and I am not certain of the City's procedure here, but we expect to have a lot of further discussion on the conditional use that we are requesting for the Fred Meyer. But I think we need to have an action on the plat before hand. It is kind of, it is all related so I am happy to combine everything all into one but. Johnson: I am trying to make it as less confusing as possible to the public who is not experienced at our meetings and how they are conducted. That is my primary concern right now, we will have to address preliminary plat only on this issue. Durkin: The plan that you see up on the board is the final plan approved by ACHD in the last meeting. It was unanimously approved. Some of the changes from the previous public hearing we had here include the alignment of the driveway on Fairview Avenue, there was a lot of discussion about that. The alignment of the driveway (inaudible). The last plan we showed that was off set, now it is aligned, that is the significant changes in that site plan. Otherwise that plan has been consistent all along. We have shown the • • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission February 14, 1995 Page 3 landscaping along the perimeter if you could just point that out Tom, that is the landscaping required in the development agreement. Johnson: What is that alignment at Carol, ACHD was adamant about that wanting a yellow line were they not? Durkin: The access points onto Fairview Avenue we now have the first one right there, that is a right in, right out access point. There is a median out on Fairview Avenue, a raised median that we construct, the next access point is an all movement access point with tum lanes out on Fairview Avenue. The next access point down is a right in, right out and then the loop road which is on the east end of this plan, that is an all movement intersection. The access points on Locust Grove that is all movement, there is a center turn lane, there are 3 access points along Locust Grove and all three of them are all movement access points. The plan that you see shows a 171,126 square foot Fred Meyers store that is their standard prototype. It is a masonry construction, block and split faced block and their standard colors and design. The building is 28 feet high at the highest point, it varies in height in other areas. The landscaping that we show here exceeds the City's standards, but I want to remind you that our development agreement for annexation and all the other documents require us to either meet or exceed the City standards in that area. The parking meets or exceeds the City standards, the lighting, these are some comments from staff on the Fred Meyer portion of the application, the lighting for the shopping center will be designed and installed to reduce or eliminate any glare off the shopping center property. The back of the Fred Meyer store which I will show you another plan that clearly shows that, the back of the Fred Meyer store where the loading docks are is over 400 feet from the nearest resident. It will be screened by the construction of the mini-storage in that area. That is the plan I have of the Fred Meyer, do you think that is clear Mr. Chairman? Johnson: Yes I think it is, any questions on that? Durkin: Now I would like to put up just another plan that is a little bit more difficult to read but it is a plan, an identical shopping center plan but it also includes the entire 40 acres or site planning. You can now see the distance from the loading dock in the back of Fred Meyer and the mini-storage in that area. Johnson: Excuse me, could you point out the property line to the north? Durkin: The area that is not shown improved are the 2 pads along the loop road on the east, or the right hand side of the plan. The shopping center property is all covered by a cross (inaudible) agreement for its operation, maintenance, and we are real comfortable with the project, we think it fits well. I might add for some of you who may not be familiar • • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission February 14, 1995 Page 4 with earlier testimony we had on this project, the Fred Meyer or the shopping center project is really a result of a major research project that we hired an outside research firm to conduct and they studied the need in Meridian for general merchandise discount department store and a grocery store. We found that about 5% of the Meridian shoppers shopped in Meridian for their discount department store needs and the rest of that shopping was done outside either at Boise or outside of the City. About 40% of the people in Meridian shopped at the Albertson's store for their groceries, I beg your pardon 47% of them and the rest traveled to Boise for their grocery needs. So we feel the project is responding to that study. Key Bank has done a study and felt that there was a need for their branch but in addition they go through the complete FDIC approvals and have to justify the need for another branch bank and that is all completed. Johnson: I am sure you covered this in earlier testimony, but just from a comparable standpoint, how does the size of this store relate to the one on Five Mile and Overland? Durkin: I have a gentleman here tonight that is from Fred Meyer, his name is Dave Shrom, he is a long time employee, in fact you were probably involved in that project. Why don't you stand up and let everyone know you are here. It is my understanding that store on Overland and Five Mile is about 140,000. Shrom: It is 164,571, the basic difference in the 2 prototypes the Five Mile store is a linear, long and thin whereas this is our square prototype and we use which ever based on the format of the site. Johnson: Thank you, so this is about 20% bigger than the other one roughly. Durkin: It is very comparable in size to the Glenwood and Chinden store. Crookston: What are the plans for buffering of the storage on Locust Grove? In the initial presentation the annexation, you were talking about a retirement home or something like that in that north west area of the Avest property. It looks now like you are going storage all the way. Durkin: This is a drawing for storage all the way but I would like to remind that for each parcel each lot on the project we have to gain, we have to go through the conditional use process and that is just not one that we are submitting or going through at this particular time. When we do that we will clearly show that. That will evolve at a later date. Crookston: Maybe a better question is that the buffering that you are proposing along Locust Grove as it relates to the area around Fred Meyer will that continue north to Avest's north property line? • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission February 14, 1995 Page 5 Durkin: Yes Crookston: Thank you Durkin: There has been a lot of concern on the lighting as it relates to this buffering, we have talked with a number of people about that. With the mini-storage facility there is actually a building that backs up to Locust Grove and no lighting should escape that way as far as auto lights are concerned. Johnson: Does that conclude your remarks then? Durkin: It does. Johnson: Any questions before we open it up to the public? Durkin: Mr. Chairman, will we address each one of these individually again? Johnson: Yes, we are addressing the preliminary plat, is there some one from the public that would like to address the Commission on this issue? Barry Gwin, 1515 South Carol, was sworn by the City Attorney. Gwin: If I could you one of their graphics, the one that was just prior to this, that is fine. Chairman Johnson and members of the Committee, I have a couple of concerns. The primary one is the berm along Locust Grove, in all of the pictorials that you see they show a berm that is at least the 4 foot level and that is what the previous public hearing that many of the people addressed, they would require or request a four foot minimum height along the Locust Grove roadway to protect those adjacent houses from lights from the cars in the parking lot moving through the parking lot. And in fact they have drawn it up that way, yet if you look at what they are asking for as a 2 foot to 6 foot varying height you can cut the height of that berm down and the car lights will shine across it and I don't think that is a fair turn to the people that live across the street. They have asked to be sheltered from this particular development sheltered from the lights, sheltered from the noise and I think a 4 foot minimum would be the least that the committee could recommend. So, that is basically the only thing I wanted to talk about. Johnson: Let me ask you a question, if that 4 foot berm were on the west side of Locust Grove that would accomplish the same thing wouldn't it? Gvvin: In many cases height wise it would not because the lights are going to be shining up in the parking lot area, you are going to be closer the head lights therefore you are Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission February 14, 1995 Page 6 going to be, the angle of repose is going to be closer and block out more of that light, the closer you get to the headlights. The second thing is that a lot of the houses don't have a whole lot of room to put a berm out there, that is their front yard and if you try and take and put a 4 foot berm that is going to travel over probably 15, 16 maybe 20 feet wide you are going to take up a major portion of what exists as their front yard. They are going to be walking out their front door and stumbling over portions of your berm. So I would recommend that the landscape berm and the shielding from the lighting come from the development side of the roadway. Johnson: And questions of Mr. Gavin? Thank you, anyone else from the public that would like to come forward? Mary Cahoon, 1875 North Locust Grove, was sworn by the City Attorney. Cahoon: I would also, Mr. Gavin stated some things about the 4 foot berm, I live right there and you know I like that idea a lot better. If you make a berm too high on my side of the road it is going to make it very difficult for me, I back out onto Locust Grove, it is really tough for me right now. When I have a berm there on my side of the. road which I want t have and I am really grateful that they are willing to do that for me, however it is going to obstruct part of my view when I am backing out of my driveway. So, I, they are going to have rolling berms and with the lights and everything I would prefer that it would be at least, a rolling berm 4 to 8 feet. I guess the other thing on the berm is the fact that where I live right now I have this really beautiful view of the sunrises in the morning and to a lot of you maybe this doesn't mean very much but it means a lot to me that is one of the reasons that I moved there before this was zoned commercial. It was agricultural when I moved in there and I happen to be an inspirational writer, I have one that I wrote about a sunrise and anyway I have a really wonderful view of a sunrise in the morning. This is my view from my front window, I can look from. my bedroom and my front window at the sunrise. I have several different pictures that I took, I have another one. I just think that it is really sad that it wasn't a part of this, it was (inaudible) I know you can't stop development but I can't ask you to lower the elevation of your building but I can ask you if you would pretty please make those berms a little bit taller so I don't have to see so much of your cinder blocks. I took some pictures of the Fred Meyer off of Five Mile and Overland just to kind of see what I would be looking at. It certainly isn't as pretty as these sunrises. That is the back side shot, I am actually going to be Looking at part of the back side of the building. I live right off of the property where loop road where their trucks are going to be cxuising in and out, you are going to have this all be movement or however you say that I don't know. Where they can come in and out both ways, I have two small children, I am concerned about the safety issues there too. Alidjani: I like that picture by the way, the reason is it is a trash dumpster. Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission February 14, 1995 Page 7 Cahoon: This is a semi-truck that they had in their back and they don't have any berms back there. And you can kind of see, I know they are not real nice but it is reality that I am facing. This is my reality, this is my life that we are talking about here. This is the area where they have their delivery trucks come in and out. The height of the building is really pretty tall, I talk to some of the neighbors who lived behind the Fred Meyers off of Five Mile and Overland, it blocks their view of the mountains that was one of the things that they had discussed. One thing, this is impacting me and I don't know about your impact fees or whatever for this but with your loop road and entrances coming on the opposite side of the road right from this is really going to back up the traffic, how am I going to get in and out of my driveway? Can you guys help me with a circular driveway so that I don't crash and burn when I am taking, my kids out in the morning and we are leaving. I don't know how to, the other thing that I am really concerned with is the delivery trucks, the hours that they have their delivery trucks come in and out in the mornings. I talked to some of these residents that live there off of Overland and Five Mile right behind Fred Meyers and they say that these delivery trucks are running constantly, 2 and 4, from the time they eat their dinner to the time they go to bed to the time they get up in the morning. The sound factor there too. Alidjani; I don't know if it makes any difference to you but I believe those trucks would use the Fairview side and not the Locust Grove side. It is a lot harder for us to turn around in the Locust Grove area than Fairview. That is just my guess, my experience of driving trucks. Cahoon: Can I have any written documentation? Alidjani: It is a public road, you have to realize it is a public road. The common sense of a truck driver it is a lot easier for him to get around on Fairview than on Locust Grove. Johnson: Do you have any other comments? Cahoon: No not at this time. Johnson: Thank you, anyone else from the public? Crookston: Jim, we need the photographs. Johnson: You need to leave those photographs with us ma'am, just give them to Will. Liz Gwin, 1515 South Carot Street, was sworn by the City Attorney. Gavin: One concern I had, my husband didn't mention is that also these people have fairly • • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission February 14, 1995 Page 8 small front yards that are along Locust Grove the ones that face. I am not sure, l would say 50 feet, they are going to lose as far as I could ascertain from the County they are going to lose about 15 to 20 feet off of that front footage there. So, they are not really going to have a lot of room to put 2 large of berm in their. So we really do need to have consistent height of at least 4 feet along Locust Grove for those people so they don't get those lights in their houses and stuff. Another thing is, I sort of went around and driven around by Park Center and looked at Fred Meyers now a little more closely than I usually do and it is pretty hard to see that there are any berms on any of those so I don't know maybe they do all 2 foot berms. I don't' know how you are going to control that, if you have allowed, are you going to say they can go from 2 to six feet what is stopping them from going all 2 feet. I don't see any berms where they say are berms. I really think that is something that needs to be addressed, I don't like the idea that there needs to be a certain height that they have to have and that should be it because I can see there being all 2 foot berms instead of all 2 to 4 to 6. Another thing is that the type of landscaping that I have noticed is I would think it is something on the order of barberry bushes which are those red bushes that are very slow growing, probably low maintenance, but I would like to see some sort of evergreens put along Locust Grove Road. I don't think that the developer really needs to worry about people not going to Fred Meyer or any of the other stores in that development because let's face it Fred Meyer is all over the place they are more or less a generic type store. People know Fred Meyer either they shop there or they don't they will either use it or they won't. I don't' think it is a problem of being visual because people, there are a lot of people that go to Fred Meyer and use it already. So they pretty much know what their stores are and anything else that is going in there Key Bank, McDonald's the way things are people already know those stores so they are not getting a full view of them as they rush down Locust Grove Road. It is probably not going to hurt business if that is part of their problem, why they don't want to have berms at a certain height. So I don't know, that is about all I had to say on the subject. Thank you Johnson: Thank you, anyone else? Don Brian, 2070 North Locust Grove, was sworn by the City Attorney. Briars: First off I would like to thank whoever is responsible for putting this on the first of the a~~genda. Johnson: It is a lottery system. Brian: This is the first time. Since we are talking about a preliminary plat, my biggest concern right now is the lot 9 parcel which is between Fred Meyer and myself to the north. I believe the storage facility Wayne was talking about, the retirement center on the, when the c~n set of this project came on board they were talking about different things they had • • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission February 14, 1995 Page 9 in mind. I have been talking with Roger Allen about I was the one who talked to him about preferring the storage unit on that parcel along side of me to more or less block me off of that commercial development. I would be more happy with that than some sort of development as a retirement center. Anyway, that property there has me concerned as far as the time span we have that particular parcel when they get their conditional use on the storage facilities, I don't know if they have that or not, I don't believe they do but when they get that I am sure that end will be the last phase and it will be talking with Roger that will be the final addition to that storage facility. It will work from Dixie Lane on around and fill in as the need comes on and more storage is needed they just develop it. I am wondering how many months or years that parcel is going to sit undeveloped and me listening to the trucks backing into Fred Meyer and all of the traffic on the loop road between how long it is going to sit there bare property before they develop it into that storage facility. And if there is some sort of a time limit or if could sit there indefinitely and then they could change their mind down the road it would concern me. I am more or less stating my opinion now so it just goes on the record when it comes up later. Also, as you al know the problems I have with the ditches is the same scenario up stream with the development of Dove Meadows and Wingate Place, all of those people had to abide by the rules and regulations and ordinances of the ditches, well they do that as they develop and none of that has been developed yet. The Dove Meadows project was started in January of 1993 and Wingate shortly after in May. And they still have not addressed any ditch problems out there because they are waiting for the last phase of the project to do anything. This is the second year in a row that 1 am dealing with ditches that aren't being taken care of. I vuould like to see when they develop a parcel they go in and do all of this ground work in the ditches and the site work and berming and screening before they start developing the inside of the project. I haven't' mentioned it to Roger but I was going to mention it would be a real nice place to pile all his excess top soil right there next to me if it is going to be any length of time then you know a 40 foot high berm. And then the development of the sidewalk that runs down Locust Grove and the site work the last I heard there was a retention pond right there on the comer which would be, it is not there anymore. Anyway there will be sidewalk all the way down there and that sidewalk going right into my pasture and there are my horses. I was wondering if there is any type of fencing or screening or anything that is going to keep kids and traffic away from my livestock or if I am responsible for that, I think that needs to be addressed. I talked to the engineer and Roger both about the irrigation problems I have been having and what we need to do and we had the meeting in March about the problems on that site with all the parties involved and the developers upstream. A lot of things were decided but nothing has been done. I feel confident with the developers on this project right by me but I just want to make sure and go on record that I can change my mind if they are not going to come through with what we agreed and come back and say they didn't do it and you guys will help me out here. That is all I have for right now. • • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission February 14, 1995 Page 10 Johnson: Thank you, is there anyone else that would like to address the Commission? Diane Beaulieu, 1895 Star Lane, was sworn by the City Attorney. Beaulieu: This development is going to be part of the community and having a McDonalds there and a Fred Meyers is going to attract a lot of children they are going to be biking down from the subdivisions north of there. One of the things I have noticed when I go to the Albertson's here in town is that the children bring their bicycles, the bicycle rack is right on the sidewalk, so if you are walking around that little, from one store to the next you have to step out into the parking area to get around the bicycles. So I would like to have a place made for bicycles so when people are walking the sidewalk they do not have to go out where cars are speeding around. That is a real problem over at Albertson's. Another concern I have is noise, I have an acre so I do a lot of yard work, last fall I was out in my yard doing some work and with this nice weather I was out a couple of weeks ago and I could hear was a constant roar of noise. We have cars, it is not cars now and then, so I think we need to look at berms, the higher berms that will absorb and trees and shrubs to absorb the noise. That is part of our quality of life, we don't want to hear cars all of the time. So I am concerns whether in the landscaping or in the division between the back of the property the north that they have some trees or something that will absorb the noise so those people there don't have to listen to that all of the time. Thank you. Johnson: Is there anyone else that would like to come forward? Karen Blayney, 2000 North Applewood Avenue, was sworn by the City Attorney. Blayney: I will be living like behind Fred Myers so the berming on Locust Grove won't directly affect me but I would like to see at least a 4 foot .berm put in there because I don't want to be driving down the road kind of looking over all of those masonry block buildings. I have some concerns about the lights in the parking lot, I would like to seem them maybe put in some like mercury vapor lights because they are not quite as glaring as the ones over at the store on Five Mile and Overland. Because I did go over there and kind of see how far the light shined and things like that. I was also wrondering when they start construction I have noticed that D 8~ B Supply there seems to be a lot of mud and stuff that gets out on the road, so you have to kind of drive over it, I was wondering if there was something they could do to kind of keep the dirt on the site when they start construction. I do have some concerns about the loading and Fred Meyer because from looking at the map and where they are going to be it is going to be almost directly south of me. I have lived by a shopping center before and even though it is like 400 feet away 400 feet isn't' very much distance for the noise to cant' and the trucks coming in the middle of the night. And at night there is not as much traffic and stuff so it seems like that noise carries further. They did say it was going to be screened eventually with the rental storage buildings but • • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission February 14, 1995 Page 11 from what they initially told us that is going to be 2 years. So that is 2 years with nothing between me and the noise that is going to be going on with the loading docks and seeing all of those dumpsters and stuff back there. That is not attractive so I would like to see some screening on there even if it is just temporary between when they build the Fred Meyer store in 2 years or however long down the line it takes them to build those rental storage units. Then I also had a concern about what, I think they called it a containment pond or something like that, I know that anyplace there is water that is allowed to stand there is going to be a mosquito problem. I don't want too many more of those around if we can help it. That is basically it. Johnson: Anyone else? Cheri Mansayon, 1555 Carol, was sworn by the City Attorney. Mansayon: Mary Cahoon has a very legitimate concern and I am concerned with the same things as well. If you are aligning this road across from Carol, the drive that is coming out of this Fred Meyer complex, I will have lights bouncing into my living room. In my dining room and bedroom, on the back of my house I have the stop light from Fairview and Locust Grove blinking continually all night. The 4 foot berm I agree should be on the development side, when Ada County comes in to do the road widening we are going to have to, if we put in a berm we are going to tear that all out because they are going to come into widen the road. So a year from now we are going to lose all of this that we have done to try and protect ourselves from this. She is right wrath the view, right now I can see Bogus Basin, I can see the twinkling of the lights on the mountain and I think it is beautiful right now but I am going to look out to cinder block and Fred Meyer. Another thing is a neon sign, there right across from Locust Grove and Carol on the development side. I would really like to not see a sign on that side. That is another glare into my living room. Thank you. Johnson: Thank you, Beverly. Beverly Donahue, 3775 North Locust Grove, was swum by the City Attorney. Donahue: Okay, my concern is the road on North Locust Grove which it always has been, how many lanes do they plan on building on North Locust Grove with Fred Meyer going in, is it going to be 5 lanes up to Ustick, is that the just of it, 3 lanes or 4 lanes. Hepper: They are going to build that road regardless if Fred Meyer goes in or not. Donahue: Granted, but how many right now with Fred Meyer going in, is it going to be subject to? • • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission February 14, 1995 Page 12 Hepper: I don't know for sure. Donahue: My main concern is the traffic, the second thing is there is a cross walk that goes to the elementary school right across Locust Grove that is just going to be up a ways just before Ustick right about in the middle, it is right past Carol. Are .those kids going to still be able to walk across that street with Fred Meyer being built there and all of that traffic going up and down. Is there going to be lighting or something or are people just going to stop when a kid enters that cross walk. Alidjani: Are you referring to the one on Chateau? Donahue: Yes that is the one that I am concerned about. I also have a concern about how long would North Locust Grove be closed due to all of this construction going down from Ustick to Fairview because a lot of us people take that road. Are we going to have to go all the way around a different route, when are they going to start it. My other concern is when the roads get torn up who is responsible for them after they patch them here and there ACHD or is it Fred Meyer or how because over by where I live now the roads are, it is just pothole city. You just can't even drive on the road it is just ridiculous. Then my other concern is listening to these berms on the opposite side of Fred Meyer are they are going to have a sidewalk all the way down where those people homes will also besides that berm. Because going up North Locust Grove now you have gravel, sidewalk, gravel, no sidewalk. Are we going to have a sidewalk or are we not going to have a sidewalk and right now there is a sidewalk that goes straight out and it stops and then there is a ditch. Now if a kid had a skateboard and was flying down that sidewalk he is going to kill himself, is the City liable or who is responsible for the way the sidewalks are going in down North Locust Grove. So do I need to contact ACHD or what is the deal, this is ridiculous, it is embarrassing. And these are my concerns and we are going to keep more commercial, are we going to take care of it, are we going to make it straight. One side walks out 3 feet, one is in 2 feet, nothing matches. You can see which section is being done. Thank you. Johnson: Thanks Beverly, anyone else? Seeing no one then I will close the public hearing at this time. I am sorry, the public hearing remains open, I will give you an opportunity for a rebuttal. Durkin: The last note I made relates to the comments I heard tonight. I would just like you and the public to know this project will generate roughly $400,000 in impact fees payable to Ada County Highway District. The obligation under that agreement is to use that money in this are for improvements. The public has to understand that the roads in the County are completely controlled, the manner in which they are constructed, how wide they are, how thick they are, how they are repaired that is completely handled by Ada County Highway District. We have very little if any say on that, we try our best with them but they • • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission February 14, 1995 Page 13 have a firm set of rules and that is it. We are providing the money and that money. is to be used for the improvements to Locust Grove. There have been a number of public hearings at ACRD and they have talked about the lanes and what is going to happen and when. When this project goes under construction we will be installing, it is complicated to explain but when the store is open is the easiest way to explain it there will be a center turn lane, there will 2 lanes going north on Locust Grove, there will be one lane going south on Locust Grove. Unless ACHD accelerates their schedule for the improvements to the west side of Locust Grove. That is not anything in our control, although they do have the money the day they take our building permits out in their bank. I would encourage the public to express those concerns directly to them. The landscaping that is to be installed for fhis project is to be installed in acxordance with the City code. The berm matters that we have discussed tonight I have talked with the people individually (End of Tape) I feel very confident that we can accommodate in their height, however, I v~rould just like to walk over to the plat and point out a few things. This is the first residence if you are going north on Locust Grove, this is all commercial property right in this area. This residence faces north onto Carol Street, what our, the berm height, we didn't pick that number out of the air that was a result of recommendations from the City, but it is our intention to construct it probably in the lower, in the 2 foot area to keep that intersection, we think it will be safer. We do have and I would like to go on record tonight and I wouldn't mind at all this being in the motion or letter from us, we have 68,000 cubic yards of top soil excess on the site, there is no shortage of material for us. We have told these people we will happily install a berm at the higher side of the 2 to 6 scale however we think it is important to have it rolling to some degree. We think that is something we can work out with staff as we take our landscape plans through. We would build it to the lower end down here where it is across from other properties and so there is no negative effect on the adjacent property owners. We will happily commit to the higher, I don't want it to be 6 feet high just running straight because we don't believe that is appealing but we think some roll in that area is fine and we will happily commit to that. I just want to really emphasize that all the traffic issues and everything else are covered by ACHD vue have done our best with them. As far as sidewalks on the property we have to install them in accordance with their plans from Fairview to the north end of the property, we just don't have the latitude with ACRD to tell them what to do with them when that get to that. That is something that the residents and we will happily work with them and meet out at ACHD at any time, but it is something the residents have to work directly with. The other issue that came up tonight is the loading dock and how that functions. For those not familiar with retail operations, it is important to note that Fred Meyer they are one of the oldest general merchandise discount department store companies in the United States of America. They are far older than the Wal-Marts, Shop-Ko's and Targets of the world, but they self distribute their merchandise for their general merchandise and their groceries. They average about 19 semi loads of merchandise to the store a week. The loading dock has posted hours, there is another type of delivery that occurs that isn't self distributed, in other words not in Fred • • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission February 14, 1995 Page 14 Meyer trucks and not Fred Meyer employees and those are what we call vender trucks. That is the truck you will see a fifth wheel with a beer truck, the bakery truck those types of deliveries. They occur very early in the moming, the vast majority of them. You will see them parked and waiting for the loading dodo people to come on duty early in the moming and then they are usually gone. A rare case for a delivery to occur after 10:00 at night because Fred Meyer doesn't have the staff on hand to handle unloading the truck and the vast majority of the deliveries occur during the day, the early part of the day. Although they can't limit the hours of operation for their loading dock because they are running out of product and they have to have something rushed in that is what occurs. You have your vendors, lots of different small vehicles delivering early in the moming, again they average 19 semi loads a week and their Fred Meyer trucks with Fred Meyer employees and that is the status of that. There is some screening on the bads of that loading dock. Those are some additional points I wanted to make. Any questions? Johnson: I just had one question, you covered a couple of things I had noted with respect to Mr. Don Brian's comment or question on timing of the storage units. Is there anything in your plans that speak to that? Durkin: Mr. Chairman, we will be coming in with an application for a conditional use for the storage unit properties. The gentleman is correct in that they will be done in phases, the company that is developing the storage units, a company called Stor-It, I have a representative here tonight, Kathleen Weber, Kathleen is also one of the partners in the Avest project. Would you care to address the time schedule, do you have anything to add on that, when I am finished. I don't know exactly precisely what the time schedule will be but he is correct it will be phased and the last phase will occur over on Locust Grove. Alidjani: Larry, as the people mentioned, is there a possibility to have some kind of buffer for the whole project especially on the part that is going to be the back of the storage units towards the residents, I would say on the north portion of the parcel Lot 9. Just in case the second phase or the third phase of the storage units got prolonged for a year or 2 or three. (Inaudible) Alidjani: Right, along that area. At the present time is there any plan for a buffer or trees or shrubs? Durkin: I just don't want to answer the question incorrectly so may t just ask one of these gentlemen here. We do have a 15 foot buffer for that part but I just want to check on (inaudible). I think the best way I can answer that we do have 15 feet of property dedicated along that north property line for a buffer. I am just not prepared to commit to • • Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission February 14, 1995 Page 15 tonight a schedule and I don't want to say anything that is misleading. I can only tell that we are proceeding with vigor on these storage units and it is a market call. I just can't give you an assurance on a time schedule other than the storage company is an established company in the market with thousands of units. They are a local company and have managed them themselves and I vuould anticipate that they would be developed as quickly as possible. I want to point out on this plan, in the back of -Fred Meyer, we have landscaping, then there is a street, then there is 410 feet to the nearest residence. I realty believe that is a great deal of distance without the storage units. With the storage units there and the landscaping buffer I think it will be ideal. That is the most I can commit to tonight I would like to say more but I can't. I do have an answer by the way on the road elevation that you asked me earlier as it relates to that berm. You asked me what the height of the crown was, I have to call ACRD to get that, they haven't come up with a design yet for Locust Grove that is all being done in their court as it relates to this project. We would be off by several feet one way or another. So that street design and street elevation is in there. Johnson: Thank you, anyone else have any questions? I will close the public hearing. This is a preliminary plat so it doesn't require findings of fact, right Wayne? Crookston: That is correct. Johnson: What would the Commission like to do? Rountree: Mr. Chairman, I make a motion that we pass the preliminary plat onto the City Council with a favorable recommendation. Hepper: Second Johnson: We have a motion and a second to recommend approval to the City Council on the preliminary plat, all those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea Crookston: Mr. Johnson, we will need these charts that you addressed the Commission.

R= ,_ Meridian City Council March 7, 1995 Page 9 ROLL CALL VOTE: Morrow -Yea, Yerrington -Yea, Corrie -Yea, Tolsma -Yea MOTION CARRIED: All Yea ITEM #10: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR AVEST PLAZA BY AVEST LIMITED PARTNERSHIP: Kingsford: At this time I will open the public hearing and invite the owner or his designee to speak first. Larry Durkin, 380 East Park Center Blvd., Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney. Durkin: I am speaking on behalf of Dakota Development, Avest Limited Partnership, Fred Meyer Stores, Inc. and Key Bank of Idaho. As you know we have been working on this development for the past 3 years and the plat and the site plans that I am going to show you tonight are the result of neighborhood meetings, public hearings, meetings with the City of Meridian, ACHD, tenant meetings and the input from our architects, engineers, traffic study experts. The property is presently annexed to the City of Meridian, the property is zoned for the use we are proposing. Fred Meyer, Key Bank and the storage units are ready to begin as soon as we can gain final approval and complete the necessary architectural and engineering work. We received unanimous final approval from ACHD after 2 public hearings on this project. The project will represent amulti-million dollar investment in the community and will employee Hearty 500 full and part time employees from the area. Some of the concems we have encountered and solved include traffic flow to and from the project. Adequate buffering from the project to the adjoining residential areas, off site work to accommodate the project and adjoining residential areas. The traffic flow concems to and from the project have been solved according to the ACHD staff and our traffic study engineer. We have reduced or restricted the access points to meet the concerns of ACRD. Adjacent properties are buffered by a berm along Locust Grove and by the construction of the storage units behind Fred Meyer. The berm will be constructed in accordance with the development agreement approved by the City during the annexation of the project and in accordance with the recommendations of staff and the previous public hearings. The project is divided into 10 lots, if I may step over and use Wayne's microphone. I will face it this way and then I will turn it back for the audience. Lot 1 is the parcel that is the Fred Meyer parcel, Lot 2 is a pad up in this corner up on Locust Grove, Lot 3 is the parcel that we intend to build a Key Bank on. Lot 4 is a parcel that we expect to build a McDonald's restaurant on. Lot 5 is a pad that would be a multi- tenant building pad. Lot 6 is the loop road that surrounds the entire project. Lot 7 is a pad on the corner of Fairview Avenue and the loop road. Lot 8 is another pad parcel and then Lot 9 is the mini-storage parcel and Lot 10 is a separate parcel that will be used for the detention pond for the storm drainage for the project. The off site improvements we will ~. Meridian City Council March 7, 1995 Page 10 construct include medians along Fairview Avenue, sidewalks around the project and extend the necessary utilities to the site. I would like to now put up the site plan if it is appropriate for the entire 40 acres so you can get an idea of how it will be laid out. The project lays out, see the Fred Meyer, it is 171,000 square foot store, and the parking, will have landscaping along Fairview in accordance with the development agreement, all up along Locust Grove. We are landscaping thcomes around the back Iof Ithe project, thss Grove into a certain point. Then the loop road is all the mini-storage here will screen the retail development from the residential areas. It is about 430 feet from the loading docks of Fred Meyer to the closest resident going to the north. We have, there is a particular matter in the development agreement that we have with the City that I would just like to bring to your attention and make sure you are. aware of. One of the big concerns we have, had from the adjacent property owners are the people to the west along that Locust Grove. We are providing them with the materials to build a berm along the front of their properties and we are providing them with money to landscape that berm. I have talked with one of the owners and they wondered how are we going to build this berm. The big question is when is ACHD going to expand the west side of Locust Grove. That schedule just isn t within our control it is within ACHD's control. When we develop this project the east side of Locust Grove will be expanded and widened so that you will have 2 lanes going north and a center turn lane and one lane going south. ACRD at a later date will be expanding the road and they just have not let us know precisely when that will occur. I want to assure the Council tonight that we'll continue to get that information from ACRD and that we will have our surveyor provide a staking along the west side of Locust Grove so that the property owners have a fairly good idea where that road extension is going to be. The concern specifically was that they would build these berms on their side and then ACHD would come along and widen the road and take out the berms. So I think that to the best of our abilities we are going to handle that concern, but ACRD hasn't been specific with .ons~hatthoudmay haves and the timing (inaudible). I am prepared to answer any quests Y Morrow: The storm drainage site, Lot 10, is that within the inside of the fence that separates the storages from the rest of the project? Durkin: Yes it is. Morrow: So it is not exposed to general view? Durkin: No, it is completely protected. Morrow: You also stated that from the loading docks on the Fred Meyer store to the northern residences was a minimum of 430 feet, how many feet is it to the west to those residences? ! ~ Meridian City Council March 7, 1995 Page 11 Durkin: I would like to clarify that statement, it is approximately 430 feet, it isn't a minimum of. I can give you that other answer here just a minute. Mr. Morrow, was your question the loading docks or the edge of the Fred Meyer building? Morrow: The loading docks. Durkin: 480 feet. Morrow: My final question is with respect to you are providing materials and money for those landscaping berms, what sort of guarantee does the City and the citizens have that those will come to pass in terms of completion bonding and those types of things? Durkin: That is a good question, in our annexation process we had to agree to enter into a development agreement with the City, it is an agreement that is drafted by and provided to us by the City. It covers our requirements prior to obtaining a building permit you have to do certain things, excuse me prior to obtaining an occupancy permit. I don't know precisely if that matter is a bonded issue, there are quite a few of the improvements that are bonded and I am not certain if that specific one is bonded. It certainly has to be done prior to getting an occupancy permit for any of the parcels. It is an obligation that we have with the City to do those improvements, that berming and provide that money to the residents. It is also the same requirements we have to provide some of the perimeter landscaping for the project. We have to do those things, they have to be completed prior to getting an occupancy permit. Morrow: With respect to ACRD are you short the technical data in terms of where the expansion on the west side would go, or are you short an approximate time schedule as to when that is going to take place? Durkin: I am short the technical data, we are dealing with estimates right now, we are dealing with approximately X number of feet instead of precisely. So it is not an answer I can't give a precise location of where that is going to be. We are dealing with estimates from them at this time. From a timing standpoint, they are using a year, they are saying we are going to complete it in 1997. I don't know if that is January or December, so that is the timing we are facing with ACRD. Morrow: Okay, in resolution of that is somebody asking for more specific time, I know that it is in our 5 year plan. I know that our transportation committee for the City has worked really hard to get North Locust Grove taken care of. So, if it is a question of a real tight time schedule I am not sure that anybody can give you that information. It is a question of specifics in terms of the road cross sections and elevations that information should be forthcoming and that is the information you are waiting for? • Meridian City Council March 7, 1995 Page 12 Durkin: As far as the road elevations that information will be available to us well in advance of us going into construction because that is important data to us and that is something that ACRD is working on at this time. I don't have that information yet but that will be available. The construction of the, from the center of Locust Grove all the way to the east into our property including the property that we are dedicating to them that will occur at roughly the same time as the construction of our project. Which we expect to begin in July or August and have completed by April of 1996. But the construction of the west side of Locust Grove as it affects those adjacent property owners on the west side, the precise time table and the precise width of that lane isn't available to me at this time. So, as much as I would like to get up and say we are going to mark the exact spot that information is coming from others that are out of my control. So we are going to work as closely as we can with ACRD as we have to for this construction anyway. As soon as I have that information available we will provide that location. Morrow: I understand, my final question has to do with respect to the major concern in that area from a couple of property owners standpoint, it has to do with the irrigation supply lines coming across this property. There was a meeting last fall between myself, the City Attorney, representatives from Avest, Dove Meadows, Wingate Place and the church. Essentially the outcome of that meetings where it was left was that it was up to the development folk to form together whatever team they needed to have the problem in terms of the irrigation as it affects Mr. Aschenbrenner, Mr. Bryan resolved prior to the start of the irrigation season. We are now within about 40 to 45 days of the start of that season. It is my understanding by virtue of a letter we received tonight that nothing has yet been done towards solving those problems. Quite candidly the City's position was is that those things would be resolved prior to the start of the irrigation season or there would be no further action with any of those subdivisions in terms of proceeding further on. Can you tell us tonight what the schedule is for solving those irrigation problems? Durkin: I cannot answer that, but there is a gentleman here tonight that can. I will ask him to stand up, his name is Steve Sweet and he has had meetings with these people. It is my understanding that the matter is resolved. Was this letter delivered to you tonight or was this in the packet. Kingsford: Delivered to us today. Durkin: I am just, it is a technical matter and he is an engineer and he can answer that. Crookston: Mr. Durkin, as much for Avest's protection what devices are going to be put in place for the property owners that do abut Locust Grove on the west that you are giving money to and materials. What I don't want to see is you give them the money particularly the money, the materials I assume will be there, but what assurances are you taking to Meridian City Council March 7, 1995 Page 13 make sure that money goes into construction of a berm on their side without someone selling their house and taking the money and then leaving their buyer with the obligation to do it but they don't have any money. Durkin: Wayne, I don't believe that it is an obligation that the property owners have to do the berm. The obligation was put on us to provide the top soil materials for these people and provide them with the money to finish the landscaping and sprinkling or whatever they want to do. We are going to do that in accordance with the development agreement that was drafted by the City. But as far as Avest assuming the responsibility that money be used in an appropriate manner, it was our obligation to provide the materials which we will. It is our obligation to provide the money which we will, but that is where it began and. ended as far as (inaudible). Kingsford: Would there be a disclosure requirement if that sell that Wayne? Crookston: There should be. Whatever money you have put into it is put into the project and not used by the owners for another purpose. Kingsford: Well, if the owners opted to do that I see nothing wrong with that, they are the ones being inconvenienced. If they want lights in their yard that is going to be their elective I would think. I would think they would want to screen themselves. Crookston: I would agree with that but I would certainly want to see it there. Durkin: From our stand point we didn't have the ability to force them to do it, they all have expressed a desire to do it and we are taking care of the material and some of the financial part. Kingsford: Mr. Durkin, I had a question with regard to the storage sheds on the north part. It is my understanding that will be phased that the part along the north will not be constructed, we don't know a date certain that will happen. And I understand from the minutes of P & Z that there was discussion of there being a mound of dirt from excavation that would screen that. What kind of provision is there to see that is not an attractive nuisance, a dust bowl that sort of thing? Durkin: I have some people tonight here from Stor-It and I would ask them to talk about precisely their schedule. But, if I could just walk over. It is my understanding that the storage unit will begin in phases and start here go up into this area first, when that is up and full it will expanded along to the west. It is our plan to take roughly 60,000 yards of excess material that we are going to have from top soil and stock pile it along in this area. As far as timing of that, timing of the storage units I am going to ask Kathleen Weber to Meridian City Council March 7, 1995 Page 14 address that precisely. As far as what we are going to do to maintain it, we would anticipate that it would look similar to the way it looks out there right now except there would be a dirt pile. Kingsford: Any other questions for Mr. Durkin? Yerrington: Yes, I have one question, on the west side of the road where you are going to build this berm, were you planning on putting a sidewalk on that side of the road? Durkin: There are actually 2 berms that we are going to be building. The one on-the west side we are providing the materials to those people and they are going to finish the berm. and use the monies that we are giving them. The sidewalk will be part of the ACRD expansion, the sidewalks are in their control for the west side. The sidewalk on the east side of Locust Grove adjoining our property will be installed and completed prior to the opening of the center. That sidewalk on the west side again falls into the ACRD time frame and that is part of their construction as well as curb and gutter. Kingsford: Any other questions? Thank you Durkin: I would like to just mention then I have Steve Sweet, I would like him to talk about the irrigation matter, I have David Husk from Fred Meyer stores here that would be happy to answer any questions regarding their store. Kathleen Weber is here from Stor-It and I am going to ask her to talk about the schedule for the storage units. Steve Sweet, 405 South 8th St, S-295, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney. Sweet: Gentlemen, we are dealing with 2 issues here. We are dealing with irrigation and drainage. I want just for the record to read Mr. Bryan's words, I have been in contact this past week with the engineers involved with the Avest property. I feel at this time that this problem can and will be resolved. Mr. Bryan has been very good to deal with, we do have irrigation along this north property line and a number of previous landowners have relocated (inaudible) upstream. We are working to deliver to his point of delivery as required by State statute that we continue to deliver his water. Drainage is another matter, there is considerable agricultural use upstream of Mr. Bryan's home. He has more drainage water than he wants at times. And we are working with him on relocating the ditch away from his property onto the Avest property as a temporary measure to relieve the irrigation drainage. We have a legal right to convey the drainage through our property onto the next and not backing up our upstream user. Mr. Bryan is also under the same criteria and is in a little bit of a quandary in that the ditch is adjacent to his property in the Highway District right of way outside of Nampa Meridian's jurisdiction. There is a need for Mr. Bryan also to clean his ditch in order to convey the water downstream to the Jackson • Meridian City Council March 7, 1995 Page 15 stub drain. We will be working with him on that. Timing, we are in the design process, we will. need to have Mr. Bryan and Nampa Meridian review and approval, we have met with the City Engineer on a preliminary basis and we will also be submitting to the City Engineer for his review and approval of the plans. As far as when construction is going to take place I can't tell you other than my client says he would like it yesterday. Kingsford: It will be before the irrigation water is in? Sweet: I am not in a position to say when the construction will take place. Kingsford: I guess I will remind of our requirement that it has to be done by then. Sweet: Allow me to get a nodding of the head of my client, he says will it be done before April 15th? Durkin: I don't know if it will be done by April 15th, but if it is done after April 15th then there is a transfer over. If the construction work is done after April 15th and we assure him that we won't interrupt his water supply does that cover it? Morrow: No, I think the issue here is bigger because in our meeting, what impacts this project and unfortunately for the Avest project it happens to be a collection point where all of these things come together. Prior to any developing the agricultural system worked pretty well. And Mr. Bryan didn't have a problem. Mr. Aschenbrenner farms the spaces along Eagle Road, Mr. Aschenbrenner has the capability of irrigating those mint fields with well pumped water. His property drains and has historically drained through the remaining parcels and through the Avest property and on out. Quite candidly if you folks don't have your drains and those other things done prior to the start of irrigation season than you are going to get more water than you can use. And the concern in our meeting fast fall was is that between the Avest project and the other 3 subdivisions and the church the irrigation system and the drainage system has been pretty well goofed up. Where the meeting was left was that there was going to be a concerted effort between those 4 groups of people to make sure that the agricultural problems and Mr. Bryan's problems have been solved prior to the start of the irrigation season. And so that is where we are tonight with respect to this question. Durkin: Can you point out to me where that ditch is, where (inaudible). Sweet: There are 2 ditches, there is an irrigation ditch along the north boundary, the drainage ditch that comes from this point across the site and they both meet in the northwest corner of the site. Meridian City Council March 7, 1995 Page 16 Durkin: The one on the northern edge of the property is the one that we are talking about as far as collecting Morrow: We are talking about both of them. (Inaudible) Roger Allen, 9647 West Pebblebrook Lane, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney. Allen: We .had a meeting here just this last week with the City Engineer and with our engineer. We believe that we have both the short term solution to the problem and the. long term. We understand and I have lived here long enough to know that what you are saying is correct and that we have to take care of the water situation. There is a concern presently that we cannot resolve (End of Tape) we have our elevations and a lot more of the engineering done on our project, we really can't go in and start putting pipe in the ground and then find out that we didn't do it properly. So what we proposed here the. other day was a temporary solution which basically resolves both the drainage and the irrigation system and leaves it much like it was and has been through the years. If I could approach the map there I think I can show you just in a general way what our problem is and how we might resolve that. As we pointed earlier the irrigation water that enters our property comes in right here comes down to this point and goes into Don's property and that is where he irrigates. That ditch can stay, in fact we went in last year at our own expense and cleaned the ditch for Don so it could continue through there and it does deliver the water here. So as far as the irrigation that could be next year, 5 years, 10 years from now. There is really, when we know the exact elevation and our engineering is completed this of course will be covered according to your ordinance, the City ordinance. As far as the irrigation water, nothing will change whether we build or whether we start now or what. WE are going to deliver Don's irrigation water to this point and the ditch is open and clear now and we will keep it open and clear and then of course as do our phasing in our development this ditch will be covered according to the development agreement. Now the other problem that arises is a drain ditch that comes into our property about here, it comes down and enters through Don's property about mid-property line, his property lines goes from about-here to here and it enters right here. In the past part of the water that came from up here off of the Aschenbrenner properties entered a ditching system actually it is referred to as dirty water but one way or another it got through a ditching system and to this point of our property. Then there was a ditch down across approximately in this area and interested Locust Grove at this area and then continued on down and crossed in front of John's home and down this way. So basically you had irrigation water coming here, he would irrigate with that, you had drain water coming across the property here which is the existing drain ditch. And you have part of this water though was split and came around this direction go to here and came back to here. Any way the water moved it came across the • Meridian City Council March 7, 1995 Page 17 property to here the drain water and this water came to here and eventually all winds up right here. Don's ditches will not carry that water for one thing I know that the pipe underneath his driveway is not large enough to carry the volume of water that is coming down there now. And Don is having a lot of problem with this water backing up, part of it is irrigation water, part of it is this drain water, part of it is this drain water. And I think Don's contention in our discussion with him is that because this used to carry part of the drain water so that it split coming across and part of it is coming here and part of it is coming here that it relieved some of this water that was coming on and causing the flooding here. What we are proposing as a temporary solution and that will work for the time being to put the system back exactly like it was. On our property where this drain come across we will divert and put in a culvert system and we can either regulate it or Don can so that this water, the drain water that comes into his property can be split. We will dig a ditch over here to this ditch and bring it down to this point. Now basically we have put the water back exactly like it has been in the past. If Don feels like this is flooding him or he doesn't want to use the water he can divert it to here and it winds up at this point leaving our property. If he wants alt the water to irrigate he can let it go that direction. And that is what we would like to propose on a temporary basis until our engineering and I believe Steve has quite a bit of information there on the engineering and what we are proposing to do there. I really don't know, it seems like to me that I feel like our obligation is to deliver the water exactly as it was delivered previously. That is what we are attempting to do on a temporary basis and of course the long term solution is all of that will be covered and in culvert and done according to your City Ordinance.. So anyway, I don't know any other solution to it. Just one other point to make it real clear that I don't feel or Steve that diverting this water whatever way it gets diverted up here and this ditch winding up over there I understand it is carrying part of it, all of the water leaves our property at this point whether it goes into Don's here and then runs down here because he has a ditch along this area. But if we put a diversion ditch right here on a temporary basis until we get this engineering and so forth now we can regulate this water we can put part of it here or all of it whichever way and it seems like a reasonable solution to me. Can I answer any questions? Kingsford: I think that was Don's concern and not seeing him, his concern was if it was all dumped. on his east boundary that ditch doesn't handle it. It needs to come in 2 locations so I think you have addressed at least what I heard was his concerns. Allen: If you have other questions I would be glad to try and answer those. Durkin: I have a photo here that I would be happy to submit and you can pass around. It is an aerial photo, the date is on the back, it was last fall I believe. That shows the ditch that we are talking about and then the irrigation line that we are talking about and Don's house over by the Locust Grove end. • Meridian City Council March 7, 1995 Page 18 Kingsford: Thank you, are you finished Steve? Kathleen Kathleen Weber, 6904 Randolph Drive, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney. Weber: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council I didn't know I was going to have to speak tonight, but I am glad I get to. I am here on behalf of Stor-It rental storages and we are very anxious to be coming to the Meridian area, we are so anxious that we have had our phone number in the phone book for the past year saying that we will be here in 1995. We have been receiving calls from people in the Meridian area and the calls are transferred to our Maple Grove office. The reason I bring that up is that whether we expand or not past about the 1/3 mark on the back of I believe it is Lot 9 depends on the demand here, in Meridian. Since January of last year I have had abut 214 calls that have been recorded, I am sure there are some that have been missed. My people have been keeping track of that. I feel like there is going to be a real strong demand here in Meridian and I do know that when we initially came in with our conditional use request for storages the people that were past the 1/3 mark on Lot 9 said we want it to go on down here too. So we have kind of decided that if the demand is there that is what we will do. Initially I know that there is going to be a lot of dirt coming off of the Fred Meyer excavation and the elevation work that needs to be done, that is probably where we will keep that dirt and some of the neighbors that were here at the Planning and Zoning meeting said that would be fine with them and that is where they would like it. Kingsford: Do you plan to do anything else with it besides, dirt can blow around in the wind and that sort of thing. Weber: I do know that, I am not sure how that would work but maybe someone has heard like if you could sprinkle some grass seed or something to keep the dirt, so it is not quite as loose for the neighbors. Thank you. Kingsford: Did Fred Meyer want to take this time now? Durkin: I just wanted you to be aware he was here and could answer any questions if you had anything specific. Kingsford: Does Council have questions for Fred Meyers? Anyone else from the public that would like to offer testimony on this issue? Elizabeth Gwin, 1515 South Carol Street, was sworn by the City Attorney. Gwin: Well, you know we have been here before. Our main concern are the houses along the road because we have 4 houses that face directly onto this property. One of my Meridian City Council March 7, 1995 Page 19 ~~ concerns is that we want to preserve those houses as residential homes.. I have like in the comprehensive Plan it designates our area as a mixed use area. I don't know if you know this or not but our subdivision has covenants and one of the covenants is that there will be no commercial within our subdivision. This is sort of causing a problem because the last 3 homes that have sold in there, people have come in there and set up some kind of home business. I checked with the Council, the County does allow some sort of businesses but not one of these people have a permit for a business. We have a nursery along the road, a landscape business, we have someone that is running a small welding shop, another man that is some sort of a concrete business where he brings some trucks and things and I think some of the neighbors had to write to the County about that and ask them to curtail the traffic. Well, I don't know how you enforce covenants if people don't want to do that. I guess if you have a lot of money you can get a lawyer and sue but I don't' know who wants to do that. I don't know when you are going to annex us but I do wish you would change that designation because it is sort of creating a conflict in that little neighborhood there. I know the people that face the road may need that option, but I hate to see that. My biggest point is that I would like to see whatever can be done to preserve those homes so people can be comfortable living there with a shopping center and whatever else goes there. As far as the money that has been allotted by Avest for landscaping for these people I would like to see some sort of a contract with those people that. it is used for that with the idea that we are preserving these homes for residential use. Some of the things that I think the people might want to do with that besides just buying shrubbery would probably be sprinkler system, some people might want to change their driveway configurations to maybe a circle drive or something like that. I don't know someone might want to add more fencing of some sort because we don't really know how much foot traffic this thing will generate and whether we are going to have a problem with people lounging on lawns and things like that, maybe some teenagers. And some people might want to add more lighting because we don't have street lights in our subdivisions. I don't know what their needs would be but I would like to see a contract of some sort so that the money is used for that. Some of the yards are so small now that face the road that I don't know that they will want to use dirt for berming or not. If you have driven along there you have probably noticed that. Also I would like to say thanks for the 4 foot berms on the east side of the road, I think that will be a big help. I would like to see, I don't know what the City can do to encourage Avest to do this or not but I would like to see a lot of evergreens along that side of the road too on those berms. I noticed a lot of shopping centers like to use these little what people call mall trees, little maples and. things. They really don't screen much so I would like to see evergreens there if you could thing about that. Also, you haven't gotten to the Key Bank yet but I did write in my letter about loud speakers. I would like to see the ordinance that the City has of a 100 foot from their property line be evoked here, I think that would pretty -much take care of noise coming into our area I am not sure. I am sure they will be at least 90 feet from the property lines, is what I am figuring from the edge of the subdivision. On the irrigation, I am not real sure • Meridian City Council March 7, 1995 Page 20 what happens to the water after it leaves Don's I guess it goes back down the road into another ditch. Kingsford: It .goes north a little ways and then under Locust Grove and through those subdivisions. Gwin: I have a little bit of a concern because in our subdivisions I think there are maybe a couple of people that use irrigation water and I am not sure, they come off a different ditch so I know that, I understand that ditch is being abandoned but what concerns me is a lot of people have wells that are just for irrigation and they aren't very deep and they count on that influx of water coming in through the ditches and it saturates the ground and. then they pump it out is what they do. I don't know whether that is going to lower that ground water level to the point where a lot of people won't have those wells. When you have lots that are half acre to 1 1 /4 you can't really pump from your house well and water so that is another concern. I do have a concern about the dirt and debris when they are constructing over there and digging up. I don't know what kind of containment they can do but I have been thinking about power washing my house down for the last 2 years and everytme I think about doing it some other construction starts and then there is dust all over the windows and everything. So I figure I might as well wait and rent the power washer and do that. I wish they would do whatever they could, if it takes water trucks. Another problem was D & B where they are constructing that there was a big problem a couple days they drug mud and dirt right onto Fairview and you couldn't even use the right lane you had to get over, if you had a truck to go through there you would be alright. I hope that won't happen, there won't be a lot of dirt drug out onto the roads because that really makes a mess. Another thing is the road widening, whenever that happens, I don't know what City of Meridian's policy is on all of this widening of roads, I think it is kind of not real smart in a way. It costs millions of dollars and I don't know that it really does that much to help traffic flow, it just makes people think they are on a freeway and they speed up. So, I had spoke to the County about lowering the speed limit along that road until the road was completely widened and we had more than one southbound lane along there. Which it looked like it would be a year or 2 but maybe not until we would have 5 lanes. I would still like to see maybe down to 30 or 25 along there because it seems like it is going to be a real mess for people turning off and on Locust Grove Road from the shopping center side and from our subdivision which only has the one entrance there. I don't know what the City can do to influence that but whatever you could do that would be appreciated. That is about all of the concerns that I have really right now, but I wrote in my letter and asked that the City and staff and anyone else that was -going to peruse these plans if you would do your utmost to look at things that maybe the people, just the neighbors by it don't see as being a conflict or realize what is going to happen. This has happened so many times when we have had Idaho Athletic and now we have Intermountain Sports along there. You end up with problems with lighting and the Meridian City Council March 7, 1995 Page 21 windows with Idaho Athletic that is still not resolved. Now the neighbor down there has a problem with some drainage on his property, we finally got some decent rain and he had some flooding in the back and he said he watched the water run off Idaho Athletic and run over across their sidewalk into his property which sits a little bit lower. So there are a lot of problems that can happen you just can't anticipate and I wish you would try to think about all of those. You are more accustomed to construction and everything and this development then we are really. So, whatever you can do to keep our neighborhood a nice place to live and keep the homes along Locust Grove so they are comfortable and good for the people there. We are real worried about our property values and things because I don't know we should be everytime our property values go up our taxes go up which is another concern. Whatever you can do we appreciate it. Thank you. Kingsford: Mr. Wood Dan Wood, 2119 East Chateau, was sworn by the City Attorney. Wood: My parents are out of town right now they live at the end of Dixie Lane so I have a few questions they asked to me check on. Avest has really tried to do a good job overall and it is difficult to please everyone. What I was hoping to do was have a few questions answered. My folks live right at the very end of Dixie Lane with their map I think he mentioned Lot 7 and 8 are commercial sites. I was just wondering with the way it is set up is there anyway we can have some kind of restriction so that all the dumpsters and those types of things aren't put at the back of the lots so that Dixie Lane doesn't turn into a alley way type situation. So it looks to me like if Avest Lane that private lane is going to be used for a go around street for the project if Dixie Lane is not, it is going to be a private lane I guess, I don't think anybody knows for sure. So it looks like it is going to be a perfect spot to turn into an alley. If there is anything anybody can find out on that. The other thing I was wondering is they are also talking about a pass way from their northeast corner all the way up to probably lot 8 and then cutting across from there over into the project. The time frame with that would that be completed in the first phase of the mini- storage units. That would be, right now it is still used as a private lane for the cars to go up and down, I am not sure all that pathway is on their property so maybe there is plenty of room but it seems like that something else that needs to be answered. The only other thing, you brought up earlier about your ordinance on pathways what is it. How wide does it need to be is there a certain. Kingsford: We don't have a specific width unless we use federal funds then we are limited to how small they can be, but we don't have a specific width. Wood: Okay, so if you could just find out or set some requirements, really the biggest thing is the dumpsters if there is something we could find out on that. • • Meridian City Council March 7, 1995 Page 22 Kingsford: It is probably logical that those would be in the back but I would say certainly the City could make some requirements that they be enclosed in some nature so they wouldn't be an eye sore. Wood: So then would Dixie Lane get paved or is it going to stay that way? Kingsford: I don't know what the situation with Dixie Lane is now, whether Avest would be able to use Dixie Lane or not. I am not sure who the owner of that property is, it is a private lane. Who owns that currently? Wood: It seems to me it would be part of the City ordinance that somebody has to own it for it to be annexed. Kingsford: It is owned by someone, I'll give you that. Wood: The only reason I ask is because I went through a lot of trouble with the northern part of Dixie Lane to clarify who owns that because of the request from the City Council. Kingsford: We can check I am sure the legals would show who does own it. I couldn't tell you off the top of my head. Anyone else from the public? Mary Cahoun, 1875 North Locust Grove, was sworn by the City Attorney. Cahoun: I won't tell you my whole little sad story about living off of Locust Grove because I am sure you have heard enough of that. I guess the only thing I want to talk about tonight is the service road that is going to be right there by my property. Your loop road, I am just west of that. 1 know that the first 2 entrances into Fred Meyers are right in and right out and maybe this is a mini-thing that you can help me with. Maybe you can make a recommendation to ACRD, probably you can't do that either but I am just going to ask anyway. Is that, since I live right there and I think this road if I am wrong just let me know, but I think that this is a full access road where it can go in both ways. My driveway is right there, I have talked about this before and it is hard enough right now getting in and out of my driveway, I can hardly wait with this extra road right there it is going to be even more difficult for me. We have a trailer, I finally got my husband to move that to the side of the house so it is (inaudible). How am I going to pull my trailer in and out when we go camping this summer, do I have to go out there and direct the traffic. We have these semis that are going to be pulling in and out to deliver their goods or whatever, is it ACHD that makes that decision or can you make recommendations for them or is it the fire codes that makes it so they have to do it a full service. Kingsford: I think if you are talking about the access road Mary, currently they are saying • Meridian City Council March 7, 1995 Page 23 that ACHD has given that approval. Could I get you to point to your property, is yours the property just west of that road which is Weber Lane? Cahoun: (Inaudible) I guess I have these little (inaudible) 5 year old and an 8 year old. The people right next to me also have 2 small children the same ages as mine and I guess I keep thinking about all of this traffic and then crossing right where we live we don't have sidewalks there. That is my mayor concern right now. Kingsford: I appreciate that and probably your house will be more impacted probably than the others and they are impacted bad enough. Cahoun: Yes, it is really hitting me big time. Can you give me more money, that would real make me happy. Kingsford: I guess the answer to your one question is at least as we have been told and not controlling the roads is that ACHD has approved those, I am not sure that is necessarily a final thing but they have given approval. Certainly it is something we can still try to look at. Could I ask you, is that access road going to be, it appears that circulation would primarily be one way, but it is going to be both ways is that correct? Durkin: Yes, it will be a 2 way street and it will be all movement at that intersection. Frankly, Mary is the most affected person in the vicinity. I can't, she is directly affected, the street lines up so that it goes between the 2 houses from a lighting standpoint and everything else. There will be a center turn lane. Kingsford: Of course that turning action is going to put those lights directly into her house. Durkin: They will, she is directly affected by this. Mary was at the ACHD meeting and we discussed that at the hearing at length. The traffic on that street is really minimal, we have a center very similar to this in southeast Boise, Albertson's and a Kmart center with the same loop road going around. It is very light traffic from a trucking standpoint the semis that would use that would be, the only trucks I would anticipate using that would be the trucks servicing Fred Meyer, they average 19 semis a week at their store. They don't operate at all hours of the night, they generally operate during the business day. So it isn't like there are a lot of trucks going in and out of there. I do believe though that they will come in off of Fairview it would be real unlikely for them to come in off of Locust Grove because of the way the docks are facing. But they will exit out that way. So there is no question. Kingsford: I would ask that you try and give Mary some landscaping assistance when dealing with at least that lighting. • Meridian City Council March 7, 1995 Page 24 Durkin: Would it be alright if I comment on a few of the other matters that were discussed? Kingsford: Well, why don't we (inaudible) address all of those again. Other members of the public that would like to offer testimony? Scott Stanfield, 2223 North Glenfield Place, was sworn by the City Attorney. Stanfield: There was some question on the drainage a little bit earlier and one solution was a temporary solution of increasing the pipe size and then put another culvert in. I just have a question about what would happen to the existing drain during this construction. If you cover that drain up during construction chances are you are going to bring in some fill from the, lots and I am worried about flooding this other lot. The lady addressed the Athletic club drainage and I am thinking (inaudible) if you fill in this ditch what is going to happen to this lot owner? tt is just a comment that I have. Kingsford: Thank you, anyone else? Durkin: I just wanted to make a few points that were brought up and then I will be real brief. As far as the irrigation I am clear on this now and I apologize for not being versed on it before I got here. I wanted to emphasize there will be no interruption to any of the irrigation service we are certain of that. As far as Dixie Lane it is a private street, ACRD has asked us to leave it alone, we have no access onto it from our development. Each of the parcels that are along, each of the parcels in the entire plat will require a conditional use permit and that process is when the dumpster issues and all of those matters are brought up. But the access points to Lot 7, Lot 8, and Lot 9 will come off of that loop road. All pedestrian paths and walkways will be completed prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit. On the letter that you gave me Mr. Mayor, I assume that all of you received the letter regarding this irrigation. It says in here in this letter there was a meeting in July of 1994 and nothing had been concluded, but he also says in the letter that I have been in contact this past week with the engineers involved and with the Avest property and feel at this time that the problem can and will be resolved. However I would like to make it a public record in case that it does not. Don is not here tonight, we talked many times on it and the reason I am so surprised is he always seemed comfortable to me that he was satisfied it was going to be resolved and I just wanted to point that out. Kingsford: I think Don has been very patient over the years and to have that on record is certainly appropriate. Durkin: Sure it is, but we it is not something we have ignored; we have met and talked to him and I felt that he was real comfortable that it would be taken care of. • Meridian City Council March 7, 1995 Page 25 Tolsma: On Mr. Bryan's letter also he had recommended a temporary fencing to keep the debris out of his pastures and (inaudible) toward the end of the letter. We have had some problems before (inaudible) livestock areas (inaudible). I just wondered how you plan to address that? Durkin: Well, under the conditions that we have in our development agreement is that we have to construct a perimeter fence around construction areas prior to any construction to contain the debris. That was a condition that is on page 6 of the development agreement we have with the City. Corrie: I guess I am still not convinced of what you are going to do. I guess this is to Steve Sweet, the third drainage ditch that is down there which looks like it is going to go underneath the store whether it does or not what happens to that drainage water this summer. It is flooding him out there, are you going stop it there and push it up higher, I can't quite see where you are going to benefit by stopping that water from that side. How are you going to stop even? (inaudible) Corrie: On the north side here you have the irrigation ditch then you have this drain ditch and then there is another one that goes down through here and feeds into this area here. All 3 of these going in is what is causing him some problems, what happens to this drainage ditch right here. Sweet: (Inaudible) this is an irrigation ditch, upstream that has been cut off, this irrigation comes around the north side of the Shoshoni building along the drainage. That water presently goes down to the drainage ditch and conveys across here. So in essence this ditch has been abandoned by the upstream efforts. Morrow: Have you talked with, it seems to me like in our meeting before that there was some with respect to this split ditch thing some of that waste water that was used previously to irrigate other properties that are no longer being irrigated. I think Mr. Ewing indicated something along those lines did he not. And so, have you touched bases with Mr. Leader, Mr. Ewing and the church folk with respect to. It seems to me part of the problem here if I recall is that now there is more water coming through the waste ditches because of lack of upstream usage of that water which would make the pipe sizing that Mr. Allen alluded to underneath Mr. Bryan's driveway obviously too small. Have you touched bases with those of the 3 owners to see what the issues there are with respect to this irrigation thing? Sweet: Personally I have not talked to them, Scott Weber of the Stor-It group has been • Meridian City Council March 7, 1995 Page 26 talking with those folks and is aware of the situation. Our firm has been instructed to determine how much water is coming down stream and the size the conveyances adequately to pass the water through the site. There is a piece of gaposis on Mr. Bryan's property between where we discharge the water and where the Nampa Meridian picks it up on his northwest corner of his site of the Jackson stub. We will be able to advise Mr. Bryan of the size of the pipe that needs to go there to convey the water which he will also want to keep in mind though is Ada County Highway District along with the improvements that Avest is proposing for Locust Grove is planning on acquiring property from Mr. Bryan along his westerly property line and completing Locust Grove which includes the drainage. My anticipation is that as the improvements are done and Avest sizes the pipe and the Highway District makes the improvements this matter wilt be taken care of. Morrow: And the one point, my final point in terms of this issue is that it may very well be that because of Mr. Leader's subdivision activities and because of Mr. Ewing's subdivision activities you guys are bearing the brunt of solving the problem and certainly they should have some share in the expense in terms of solving the problem. If the solution on a temporary basis is to increase the size of the pipe underneath Mr. Bryan's driveway than it looks to me like those folk ought to be contributing to that because it is their change in usage that has created a part of the problem if memory serves me correctly. Sweet: Your point is well taken and t believe the City Engineer addressed this previously when he talked about a lapsed preliminary plat upstream and that any future submittals by properties would be coming into solving this drainage problem. I hear your message and I also believe your City Engineer has heard the message. Kingsford: Any other questions? If there is no other comment I will close the public hearing. Seeing none it is closed. Counselor, is it your evaluation there was additional testimony? Crookston: There are no findings on this matter. This is the platting so there are no findings. Morrow: Mr. Mayor I would move that we approve the preliminary plat for the Avest Plaza subject to staff conditions. Corrie: Second Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Bob to approve the preliminary plat for Avest Plaza subject to staff conditions being met, all those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea ,~ F ~ • Meridian City Council March 7, 1995 Page 27 Kingsford: I thank everybody for their testimony, I also thank everybody for their involvement towards making a maybe not so good situation for people more bearable at least more bearable as possible. ITEM #11: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST TO ALLOW DRIVE THRU BANKING FACILITY BY AVEST LIMITED PARTNERSHIP: Kingsford: Does Council have questions about that? I have one, who is doing that configuration? Can I ask a question on how that drive thru will be handled, is that going to be on west side or north side or south side? Durkin: The drive thru facilities are on the eastern side of the Key Bank building. The access for this property comes off of Fairview. Kingsford: The reason I ask was Ms. Gwin's concern about the noise and certainly if it is on the east side it is going to help that. Durkin: Actually that drive thru is not on the east, the drive thru lanes are on the south side of the building. The City staff recommendation that the noise not exceed 59 decibels I believe, oh 55, the volume is so low on the drive thru facilities that it was, it is not even close to the street noise is quite a bit further. I pointed this out at the last one, I can show you where her house is and where the drive thru is and I think you can (inaudible) Carol Street and this is the first house, the Gwin house is the second house in. The noise has to travel around the building over the berm across the street, over another berm down the street before it affects her residence. The first affected residence would be this one here, they face to the north on Carol Street. This is the 5th bank like this that we have built and I am really familiar with them and I just can't foresee the circumstances for anyone. Kingsford: Well surely she is not just concerned about her house (inaudible). (End of Tape) Kingsford: What is the Council's pleasure on the conditional use permit for the drive thru? Morrow: Mr. Mayor I move that we adopt he findings of fact and conclusions prepared for P & Z for the conditional use permit for the drive thru banking facility by Avest Limited Partnership. Yerrington: Second Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Max to approve of the findings of fact and Meridian City Council November 1, 1994 Page 18 MOTION CARRIED: All Yea ITEM #6: TABLED OCTOBER 18, 1994: PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR HAVEN COVE N0. 5: Kingsford: I assume then you are going to table Item #6 as well. Tolsma: So moved Morrow Second Kingsford: Moved by Ron, second by Walt to table item #6, preliminary plat for Haven Cove, all those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea ITEM #7: AMENDED ORDINANCE #654 -AVEST ANNEXATION: Kingsford: AN AMENDED ORDINANCE OF H HS DESCRIBED AS THE SW E/41 OF THE ZONING CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY WHIC SW 1/4, SECTION 5, TOWNSHIP 3 NORTH, RANGE 1 EAST, BOISE MERIDIAN, ADA COUNTY, IDAHO; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Is there anyone from the public that would like Amended Ordinance #654 read in its entirety? Is there a motion? Morrow. Mr. Mayor, I would move that we approve of Amended Ordinance #654 with the suspension of rules. Tolsma: Second Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Ron to approve Amended Ordinance #654 with suspension of the rules, roll call vote. ROLL CALL VOTE: Morrow -Yea, Yerrington -Yea, Corrie -Yea, Tolsma -Yea MOTION CARRIED: All Yea ITEM #8: DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR AVEST: Kingsford: Counselor, have you reviewed that? Crookston: Yes I have Mr. Mayor, both Shari and myself have looked at it. There have ~ ~ Meridian City Council November 1, 1994 Page 19 been some requests to change some of the items. Avest has communicated to us through Kathleen Weber, I think that there are still some matters that need to be worked out. Corrie: Mr. Mayor,, I also have a question on the Exhibit B, item #3, the developer agrees to comply with the requirements of the Meridian Police Department and the Meridian City Engineer and Planning Director, etc. should we include .the Fire Department on this, because there are some requirements of the Fire Department as well? Morrow. Yes, it should say Meridian Fire also in my opinion. Kingsford: Entertain a motion to table. Morrow. So moved Yerrington: Second Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Max to table the development agreement with Avest until the next meeting, all those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea Kingsford: Point of interest Counselor, does that mean we shouldn't have annexed it given your standard? Crookston: I don't' believe that is within Avest's findings. Kingsford: It wasn't in the ordinance. Stiles: This property was previously annexed. Crookston: All the amended ordinance did was correct the, it used to read the SW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 and that was changed to the SW of the SW, that is the only change in the ordinance was the legal description. ITEM #9: DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR NEB-i COMPANY (D & B SUPPLY): Kingsford: Comments on the development agreement for NEB-i? Morrow. Everything with the development agreement is satisfactory with Shari and Gary and Wayne?
