ITEM #7: PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED FROM OCTOBER 14, 1997: REQUEST
FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A RETAIL SHOPPING ,CENTER BY TOM
BEVAN - 2030 W. FAIRVfEW AVENUE:
Johnson: As I stated the Applicant has requested that be deferred until December 9,
however is anyone is here that came for this item and would like to testify tonight we will
take that testimony. Anyone wish to address the Commission on this application?
Seeing no one we will proceed.
ITEM #8: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR CENTRAL
VALLEY CORPORATE PARK N0. 6 SUBDIVISION BY RAFANELLI & NAHAS -
MERIDIAN ROAD AND CENTRAL VALLEY DRIVE:
Johnson: I will now open the public hearing and ask that the applicant or the applicant's
representative address the Commission.
Lonnie Fox, 8440 Midland Drive, Boise, was swum by the City Attorney.
Fox: There is only one of the specific site requirements that we are concerned about.
That deals with sewer manholes to be provided to keep the sewer lines on the south
and west side of roadway centerlines. Because there is an existing sewer line and the
new roadway would cause the distance traveled to be much greater than it is right now.
We will have to provide and easement between two property lines so that minimum
grades can be maintained in that sewer .line. We are willing to provide an easement, I
think it is located on the preliminary plat, it shows between lots 12 and 13. The new
roadway would make that distance traveled to be much longer around that eastern loop
and we wouldn't be able to maintain minimum grades. In that area that would be on the
east and north side of the Eight Mile Lateral which we would be in the right of way there
would not be a problem. Our one concern is if we go with the roadway as is the
standard the alignment for sewer we wouldn't be able to maintain minimum grades.
Johnson: Gary Smith, do you have any comment regarding that, are you familiar with
the difficulty as stated here by Mr. Fox?
Eng. Smith: Mr. Smith, I guess I ~ need to ask Mr. Fox a question. Is this piece of sewer
line you are talking about Lonnie on S. Progress Avenue is that where you are
discussing, referring to the west side?
Fox: Yes, did I say west, I meant east.
Eng. Smith: It is on the east side now but you can't put that on the west side.

Johnson: 1 will open this public hearing, it is a continuation..Is The applicant or the
applicants representative here and do they wish to address the Commission at this
time? Well 1 spoke with Shari Stiles our Planning and Zoning Administrator there was
some material that was submitted late and this is probably why they are not here. We
didn't have an opportunity to review it and it didn't meet our deadline. When it did come
it was somewhat inadequate and there were no utilities shown in the landscaping. This
would probably be an item that we would want to consider tabling. Anyone else from the
public that would like to address the Commission on this application?
(Inaudible)
Johnson: This would be an excellent time to do that we just wouldn't be able to answer
any questions that we might not have knowledge of. We are doing item #1. I will close
the public hearing at this time. I guess we want to continue the public hearing rather
than close it.
Smith: Mr. Chairman I would like to make a motion to continue the public hearing on this
item to the next Planning and Zoning meeting to be held January 13, 1998.

ITEM #9: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING OF 1.8
ACRES TO C-G BY TOM BEVAN - 2030 W. FAIRVIEW AVENUE:
Johnson: I will open the public hearing at this time and ask the applicant to address the
Commission.
Tom Bevan, 4202 N. Marcfiff, Boise, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Bevan: Thank you for the opportunity to address the Commission this evening. We
have submitted the application and have reviewed the comments that came as
conditoins of the application. We agree to all of the findings and all of the comments.
Except we do have a little question on item 14, we weren't sure exactly how we could
show compliance with that specific item. It said the orientation of the buildings would not
appear to lend themselves to very desirable curb appeal, visibility for tenants wishing to
locate here. We would look at anything that would come forward about how to change
the design or anything like that. f don't exactly know how to show compliance with that
except for to say that we are open to any suggestions. It is a small frontage on Fairview
so we try to develop the square as a square so it is deeper and not so much on the front
of Fairview. (Inaudible) As you can see our ideas are a little bit of a change from what
Fairview is now. We don't have the huge stores that both sides of Fairview are tryng to
develop both sides of Fairview. What we have is smaller retail outlets and we are not
really going for large anchor tenants, the big national chains or anything. We are going
for more of a regional, perhaps local type retail businesses. We have smaller retail in
the front and a little bit larger retail in the back. Some of the suggestions were that from
the fire department if we could sprinkle the buildings then we could eliminate the 20 foot
fire easement around the outside of it. So I think we are going to try and do something
like that. We just got the comments on Friday so being that Monday was a holiday we
didn't get a chance to talk too specifically about some of the changes recommended but
we didn't see any problems with any of them presented there in the documents. The
elevations, as far as elevations go you can see it is (Inaudible) siding. The most similar
is if you are familiar with Poise Town Square Mall the two Gap stores, Gap kids and
regular Gap they have the drivet and we are trying to do a little bit of a fancier front. We
Meridian Planning & Z~g Commission
October 14, 1997
Page 37
are trying to do a bit of a more upscale retail area.. It is like a small square based after
smaller retail shops. Similar to what the Gap is now, some are the same size, some are
a little bit bigger. The outside appearance would look somewhat similar. Now these,
this (inaudible) basically what we are trying to do is develop as a said a more of a
smaller retail for smaller retailer so the (inaudible). Kind of breaks up the pattern I
guess you could say on Fairview. The monument sign is what we prefer on the outside
on Fairview instead of a pole sign and then we would have signs on the building itself.
Johnson: Okay, Tom is that it? Questions from the Commission?
Borup: You said that item 14 was the only one you had question on in staff comments?
Bevan: Yes, everything else we agree with 100%.
Borup: (Inaudible) I was just curious on the comment, it was not staff comment, but the
address needed to be changed. I believe that was the fire department.
Bevan: If it needs to be changed (inaudible)
Borup: I do have a question
(End of Tape)
Borup: Do you coordinate that with Econo Lube?
Bevan: Not yet, we want to do a cross access but we could do it deeper in the lot to
break up that as Mr. Smith was saying earlier he didn't want a strip all the way down.
We would actually prefer the cross access to be deeper in the lot. So as their stores
are deeper they could come right over into our little square there.
Borup: The way they have it right now is (inaudible) lined up with theirs where it comes
in the middle of your first building,
Bevan: We could move that we could do some adjusting. What we are trying to do right
now is work on the annexation and zoning.
Borup: I am kind of jumping ahead here
Bevan: Then we could answer those concerns
Borup: I think you have done a lot of what we have talked about trying to do is orient the
buildings closer to the front.
Bevan: We can ever bri~~g them closer to the building them closer to thc: building then
they are.
Meridian Planning & Z~g Commission •
October 14, 1997
Page 38
Borup: Well, all you have is a driveway between them and the berm now.
Bevan: Yes
Borup: I think you have addressed it, that is why I was curious if there had been any
discussion with the others on the cross access (inaudible)
Bevan: No sir not yet, but we would do that.
Johnson: Anyone else?
MacCoy: What about your building construction?
Bevan: It would be stick frame with a drivet exterior, stucco type.
MacCoy: Your roof is going to be flat?
Bevan: It would be sloped and then the water would be into our drainage system
MacCoy: What about colors?
Bevan: The colors would be like a gray similar to the Gap store that is there now that is
by the Boise Town Square. They have like a gray drivet. We tried to depict it there, that
might not be the best way to do that. We can get you samples of the drivet itself
(inaudible).
MacCoy: I wanted to, plus the fact that you did one of the best jobs yet I have seen on
your handicaps. You put your comers and your bigger areas where we need them for
the handicap and you used them the right way. And you put them next to (inaudible) so I
give you credit for that. Did you say what you are going to have for retail?
Bevan: Well we are negotiating with some local retailers but we haven't signed anybody
yet. We are trying to do is to stay away from the big names. More of a square, if you are
familiar with the European type of square it is more ma and pa type businesses, not ma
and pa but smaller businesses. Not to say that there might not be a bigger business
like a video store or something come in. But we are not actively going out looking for
franchise type businesses. Obviously we have to fill up the development but if we can
find local or regional businesses that would be interested in participating in that is what
we like. We are trying to change it up a little bit.
MacCoy: You did say that you read the staff comments. and you had no problem with
them.
Meridian Planning & Zor~ Commission ~ .
October 14, 1997
Page 39
Bevan: No problem except item 14, I am not sure, I don't really understand it so I don't
know how we can comply with it. I don't know if they didn't like. the way it looked from
the street or something. But we are open to anything they suggest. We want to have a
nice looking development...
MacCoy: I suggest you come back in here to staff people and (inaudible). I am sure
they had something in mind.
Bevan: That is what I was thinking. I just got the documents Friday so I haven't, with the
holiday on Monday I didn't get a chance to talk to staff to find out what they meant. We
would comply with everything here with the understanding if they understood 14 better
we would sure comply with it. I don't know exactly what they are looking for.
Borup: I would think what they are saying, a lot of the staff comments were things that
specifically need to be complied with and the other things are just comment, more of a
personal comment of theirs. Not necessarily a specific requirement because they didn't
anything specific.
Bevan: That is what I thought, it wasn't specific so I don't know how to comply with it.
But we comply with everything we can.
Borup: I think they were wanting to put forth their opinion on that.
Bevan: And we appreciate that and we would be open to anything they would
recommend specifically.
MacCoy:. I think the best approach is to come in here and see if they do have anything
in mind that you can get that cleaned up. The lighting on your property, do you have
pole lighting or what?
Bevan: Yes, they have a lighting plan, they asked us to coordinate with the Meridian
Public Works Department on the lighting plan. That is what we will do we will go with
their requirement. We want to have a well lit parking lot obviously and we would go with
the recommendationstyhatever they (inaudible)
MacCoy: What I was coming to was the fact that the lighting is a real concern. We
wanted it non-glare and didn't create a problem with neighbors and other drivers and so
on. So we didn't actually (inaudible) already there. WE want you to be sensitive to that.
Bevan: We sure will, we want to have a quality development, we don't want to have
glare, something that is real glary anyway, so a softer light.
MacCoy: That is all I have
Meridian Planning & Zor~ Commission

Smith: Mr. Chairman, I think my comments are more geared to design issues and site
planning things more so than annexation and zoning. But we seem to be clumping
these together so maybe I will go forward.
Johnson: I think that is a good idea because normally we would incorporate all of this
testimony into item 10 as well.
Srnith: Was the drive location dictated by ACHD, I don't recall any comments?
Bevan: No it wasn't specifically dictated by them.
Smith: I have some issues with the site plan as presented.
Borup: ACRD did say they wanted the driveway to align with Dixie Drive.
Bevan: Yes they did do that.
Smith: The whole site is predominately going to be asphalt. The whole site is
predominantly going to be asphalt on this site and way more than it needs to be. I think
it is just kind of how the site was perceived to be laid out. Part of the problem I see here
is on the west side and east side of the site what we have indicated there are trash
collectors and inevitably that is going to look like the back side of the building. It is just
- - - -going-to be -unattractive. What-was submitted in-the-application- was just a photo of a
building which is quite a bid difference for an elevations. I think it is, I can understand
your difficulty in being able to respond to item #14. Design is a subjective issue and
what would be a good design to me may not be good design to you and vice versa. I
think again it is really hard for anybody to say what it is going to took like from the street
because we don't have any elevations that tell us what it is going to look like from any
side of the development. But even though a couple of these buildings were gull forward
on the site I think the perception from Fairview Avenue as you look at the site is still
going to be one of parking because there is so much asphalt on the site. What you are
going to see is a couple of buildings here floating in a sea of asphalt. The European
square approach and that is, I can see a quad kind of concept starting here but it is all
filled up with a parking lot. You are going to have to cross the parking lot to get from one
building to the next. Almost seems like to me that it might be better to pulls some retail
space up to the front with these two 1200 and 1500 square foot buildings and maybe
put them together. One of the things and this is just my education and my background is
you are really limiting yourself to the tenants you will be able to bring into these
buildings and if they ever expand or have a need for more square footage they are
really going to be pretty limited if they are in one of these three smaller buildings. You
really give yourself more flexibility and you tenants and what you can do if your tenants
expand and get smaller: You have a building more designed into a bay approach like
the larger building here. But these things are some of them are pretty small and it is
;~cind of disjointed in its planning.
Meridian Planning & Zo~g Commission
October 14, 1997
Page 41
Bevan: Well
Smith: As far as the straight shot through the site that would be as easy as flipping the
two rear buildings over and making you have to zig zag through the site to solve the
cutting through problem. I think some of the site planning issue problems go even
farther than that. There is just too much asphalt on the site. There is too much
dedication to the automobile here. Do you have an architect that you have hired to
help you design this?
Bevan: Yes, Dean Briggs is the engineer
Smith: No, his is not an architect he is an engineer. He has no design training and
doing this kind of design work. He is an engineer and he engineers. He doesn't do
building design and site design other than subdivisions and things like that. I don't know
how you can develop a project of this size without having an architect or somebody who
is trained to do this kind of design work. No disrespect to Dean Briggs, but he is just
not, his training just isn't in this kind of design projects.
Bevan: Well first of all by the comments we are required to have an architect and we will
have an architect to design the specific buildings. As far as the asphalt, even in
comment #10 they are saying we don't have enough parking.
Smith: How many parking spaces do you have?
Bevan: What they require is every 200 square feet they want 1 parking space and we
are a little bit shy of that. But what (inaudible) We are going to redesign it to get some
more parking here by pushing this back But they are telling us that we don't have
enough parking.
Borup: I think you read that wrong, they are saying the parking you have exceeds the
minimum requirement just based on square footage.
Bevan: (Inaudible) ,
Borup: I see what you are saying, they are saying some of the sizes don't meet
(inaudible) the 25 or the 9 by 19 may not.
Bevan; As I say we can, we had plan on redoing some of it anyway based on some of
the comments. We only had the comments for one day so we do have to go back and
redesign a little bit. What we -are trying to do is give you the concept of what we are
trying to do and ask for the annexation and zoning approval. We can come back when
we do these comments when we comply with these comments I think you will see it
shape up a little better than what it is right now.
Meridian Planning & Zo~ Commission ~ i
October 14, 1997
Page 42
Smith: My opinion is you need an architect not just to design the building for you, you
need him to do some site planning for you and study how the best way to lay this site
out is and address some of these aesthetic issues not just from the buildings
themselves but how the site is laid out. Get some more landscaping on the site as
opposed to so much aspFialt. Design and orient the buildings in such a way that we
don't have the sides of the buildings or the east and west elevations which are visible
from Fairview looking like the back sides of buildings. I have seen numerous
developments laid out on this design approach and I can't in good conscience sit here
and tell you that I think it is a good design approach because I don't. I think there is
some, I think concepts of having different buildings and breaking up the massing of the
sites of things are valid and I think you can still achieve that. But I think there is some
basic layout in planning some things that need to be looked at and addressed.
Bevan: I agree with you, as I said as we do the comply with the comments here I am
sure that it will take a little better shape in the face of the actual building permit we can
address some of those. Like I said we are just trying to do the annexation and zoning
change now. We are requesting that be approved and we can move based on these
conditions being met and then we can certainly answer some of those concerns.
Smith: I don't have any more questions or comments at this time.
Johnson: Anyone else? Thank you Tom, this is a public hearing, anyone that would like
to address the Commission on this application? Any comments from staff? At this time
I will close the public hearing. The public hearing we are addressing at this point is
annexation and zoning only.
Borup: Mr. Chairman, I move that we have the City Attomey prepare findings of fact and
conclusions of law on this application.
MacCoy: Second

Johnson: That is the key phrase if someone deems it appropriate in practice conditional
use permits continue until there is a squeaky wheel. If that is your thinking you can be
the squeaky wheel you can review it in a year. But by its very nature in definition it is
conditional and it is conditional for a period of one year.
Smith: Well that answers my question Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion that
the Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission hereby adopts and approves these
findings of fact and conclusions of law.

Johnson: In that case I would recommend that we table this item.
Borup: Mr. Chairman, is that correct there has not been any. communication between
this applicant and staff in the past month?
Stiles: The applicant did submit some new site plans, none of you have that?
Smith: I have a site plan dated the 5"' of December, 1997.
Stiles: That would be the new information they have submitted.
Smith: And the elevations which were the 4~' of December.
Borup: I have the same thing too, that was before last months meeting.
Stiles: There wasn't sufficient time between the time they submitted it and the time the
meeting was for you to be able to review it. That is why we went ahead and continued
the public hearing last time.
Borup: I think we continued it because the applicant wasn't here.
Johnson: Is there anyone in the audience that is here for this item that would like to
address the Commission? If not then I think we should look toward tabling this to a date
certain.
Smith: Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion to table this item to our February 10
meeting.
Borup: Second
Johnson: It has been moved and seconded that we table item #3 until our next
scheduled meeting on 2-10-98 and that staff contact the applicant to find out if they
want to proceed further with this.
Borup: This is the second month it has been tabled.
Smith: Mr. Chairman, I would like to amend my motion to include the last comment you
made which was to have staff contact the applicant so that we can find out if he is
serious about this to move forward or not.
Borup: Second
Johnson: It has been moved and seconded to table this item one more item until
February 10, 1998 with staff contacting Mr. Bevan or the applicant's representative to
determine if they want to proceed or not, all those in favor? Opposed?

ITEM #4: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A
PLUMBER'S UNION FACILITY BY PLUMBER'S & PIPEFITTERS LOCAL 296 -LOT 5,
BLOCK 2 RAILSIDE PARK SUBDIVISION:
Johnson: I will now open this public hearing and invite the applicant or the applicant's
representative to address the Commission at this time.
Mike Capshaw, BRS Architects, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Capshaw: Initially when this project was ensued we had assumed that this project met
the light industrial nature of this subdivision. However staff informed us that while they
agreed that it did meet the intent there was no specific allowance for a union use. So
that is why we are here before you tonight. Probably the most close use to us would be
contractors yard. We will be demonstrating at this facility pipefitting and plumbing
techniques as well as a union office and union activities. Again there will be obviously
welding and what have you there so it really does not fit in with. an office type use it is
more of an industrial use. If you have any questions?
Johnson: Any questions from the Commissioners?
Smith: I have just a couple quick ones. The style wall panel and the shadow wall panel
those are a specific pre-manufactured building manufactured wall panel?
Capshaw: -Yes they are, they are a Butler panel.
Smith: I am not familiar with the style wall and the shadow wall.
Capshaw: The shadow wall has a texture to it and the style wall is more of a plain panel
so we have dressed up the front there with some split face block and a texture panel.
Smith: Do you have a color scheme proposed for this?
Capshaw. We do and that was in the submittal, staff should have a big color chart that
we put out.
Smith: I haven't seen it, do you mind letting me know what it is just off the top of your
head.
Capshaw. We have a light blue or a blue accent color at the roof line everything else is
pretty much an off white.

Bevan: Yes.
Prior: Proceed sir.
Bevan: Thank you. Good evening Commissioners, I would like to request that
this part of the hearing be continued until next month. We have almost all of our
items finished but we didn't get them to you in time so I'm sure we can do it at the
next meeting if that vuould be agreeable to you.
Johnson: Okay thank you. Any questions of Mr. Bevan?
Borup: Yes Mr. Chairman. I was just curious on what additional items that you're
still working on. On a new site layout, or on the building designs or -
Bevan: Yes. We changed the design once and then we were talking with a cross
agreement with our neighbor the Econo Lube and the auto parts store and as we
talked to them we came to the conclusion that working with them I think we can
open up the area a little more and maybe get rid of some of the stuff in between
us so it flows a little better.. So we're a little late in getting an agreement with them
which we now have, well conceptually anyway, nothing in writing, but then their
design people and our design people kind of got together and we redesigned it.
So that's what we're working on now.
Borup: Okay that makes sense, thank you.
Johnson: Anyone else?
Smith: Just a comment. Mr. Bevan I'd just like to commend you on working with
your neighbors and coming up with a better design solution, I think that's
commendable.
Bevan: Thank you Commissioner.
Johnson: Okay this is a public hearing, is there anyone else that would like to
address the Commission on this application? Seeing no one then I'll entertain a
motion for corrtinuing this public hearing to a date certain, our next meeting would
be March 10"'.
Borup: Mr. Chairman, I move that we continue this public hearing to our next
regular meeting on March 10"'.

ITEM #3: FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW FOR REQUEST
FOR A REZONE OF .36 ACRES FROM R-4 TO L-0 BY KEITH & CATHY
THURGOOD - 236 W. CHERRY .LANE:
Johnson: You have the Findings of Facts before you, is there any further
discussion, any corrections or deletions?
Nelson: I have none.
Smith: Mr. Chairman, page three item seven. It's a little confusing how it was
written. I'm just going to read it: Commissioner Smith noted the Thurgood's plan
on residing in a portion of the building on a temporary basis. Commissioner
Smith wanted to know how long they anticipate residing in the building, Mr.
Thurgood noted within a year to a year and a half. I don't know if that means they
plan on leaving within a year to a year and a half but it's not written that way.
Johnson: I think they were talking about using it as a residence, is the way I
remember that~conversation. Isn't that the way you remember it? .~
Smith: That's the way I remember it, just the way the last sentence is worded it
should probably be rev~rorded to say something like "Mr. Thurgood noted that
they would be moving within a year to a year and a half' and I would like the
Findings changed to reflect that.
Borup: I'll second that.
Johnson: Do we have a motion for approval with those changes or are we
through with our discussion?
Smith: Mr. Chairman the Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission of the City
of Meridian hereby adopts and approves these Findings of Fact and Conclusions
as corrected.

do. We've been doing -playing this game for some time. It would be my suggestion in
light of not having additional information from the powers to be which in this case
happens to be ACRD that we continue this public hearing to our next regular scheduled
meeting, which is April 14"'. Any comments, discussion?
Borup: Sounds appropriate, so I move that we continue this public hearing. until our
next scheduled meeting of April 14th.

hearing until our next regularly schedules meeting on April 14th.
Smith: Second.

TOM BEVAN 4202 N. MARCLIFFE WAS SWORN BY THE CITY ATTORNEY.
Johnson: Mr. Bevan, would you adjust the microphone so that we can pick that up on
tape. Thank you.
Bevan: Is that better?
Johnson: Are you just going to stand there, or do you want us to ask you questions?
Bevan: Well, I think you have all the documents now that we needed to comply with the
rezone.
Johnson: is the easel available so the public can see that as well. I mean is there
something -just stick it in front of the overhead there if you can some place where we
can all look at it:
Bevan: What we've done is redesigned it to fit better on the lot and to give us more
open exposure from Fairview. So that the site line goes into the lot. The parcel on the
left is the proposed Schucks and Econo Lube Subdivisions. And we have across -use
agreement with them. We are in the process of doing it. We have a copy of the
agreement here. They haven't signed it yet, but they indicated that they would. That
would allow for cross use -
Johnson: Okay, you are away from the mike, so what you are pointing to the -give me
a direction on that.
Bevan: It would be west. Pointed to the west. And their development is just right to the
west of us. Wilson Lane comes from the south there, and that's right here. I'll show
you. (Inaudible -off the microphone)
Johnson: So Mr. Bevan is pointing to the southerly portion of the application saying this
is where Wilson Lane is, right?
Bevan: Yes, exactly.
Johnson: Our poor transcriber goes nuts if she hears mumbling on the tape, so we got
to stick with the microphone.
Bevan: Okay, I'll try, and so our original design was four buildings. We've come down
to two buildings, with one up front and then one in the back of the lot like that, as
depicted there. The landscape is as shown there end tl`~e parking. I believe we - at
least the architect told me that we have complied with all the things that were mentioned
Meridian Planning and ~ng Commission

in the list, so we are hoping that you find that also. We also have some colors. This is
for the siding and for the fascia of the roof. The blue one -
Johnson: Those are just colors, right? They are not material?
Bevan: No, just colors.
Borup: Those are the colors for what?
Bevan: These are the colors for - do you have the elevations there? Okay, this is the
siding. This is the color of the siding. And this is for the roofing.
Johnson: It looks to me like a blue.
Bevan: This is silver. Of course, it will be textured, so it looks a little different than that.
Any questions?
Johnson: Yeah, I'm sure we have some questions. Questions from the
Commissioners?
Maccoy: I like to start off here. On your drawing that we have here, parking you had
four compact and I think your c's on here must mean your compact, and you have six of
those on your drawing here, so there should be a little con'ection involved here, if that's
what your meaning is.
Bevan: Excuse me. Oh, I see what you mean, the compact, yes.
Maccoy: Is that right? The "c" stands for compact.
Bevan: Yes.
Maccoy: Okay, there's six c's on your drawing, so change that. I got a question to you
about on the building one, since you gave us elevations on the north side, it appears
because of the handicapped parking down on the south side, is there entrance to your
building? Is that your -
Bevan: Yes, that's the entrance, yes.
Maccoy: On Fairview you are showing the back of your building to the Fairview side
then.
Bevan: Yes, that's correct. There's a berm there.
Maccoy: Okay, I just wanted to clarify that in my mind. Okay, I'll pass.

Borup: I don't really have any specific question. The blue was on trim you said. That
was not the roofing material; is that correct, Tom?
Bevan: Yes, the trim and the roofing.
Borup: Fascia and around the window frames and that kind of stuff.
Bevan: Yes.
Borup: It looks like you got a good open plan worked out now, and it looks like you've
also planned for future access to property on the east; is that -
Bevan: That's correct.
Borup: At least the parking lot is laid out that way.
Bevan: That's correct. ff there's -
Borup: It looks good to be able to tie in to future. I think the redesign also gave you
more square footage in your buildings too.
Bevan: It did in fact.
Borup: I have no other questions
Smith: Just getting back to this compact space thing. It looks like a couple of these you
could encroach a little bit into the landscape areas you have, the problems in the width
of the spaces. I don't know. I can't tell because there's no dimensions on any of this
stuff, so I don't know what the dimensional restraints that you have to work with are
there. The four that are in the center, I don't know what you can really do with those,
because I don't know how wide your driveways are all the way around there. But
maybe -the compact spaces just don't work, and there's a growing movement to not
even recognize those as parking spaces any more, but an alternative that may work for
you is take that center block of parking and turn it ninety degrees, omit that isle way. that
goes north and south on the site to the east right in front of the building two. You can
still probably get the same number of spaces in there, but make those four compact
spaces regular spaces.
Bevan: Okay. Put the block where?
Smith: Just turn it ninety degrees. Move it so the first two spaces are adjacent to the
sidewalk that runs north and south in front of building two.
Bevan: Oh, okay, that's a good idea, yea.
Meridian Planning and Zt~g Commission
March 10, 1998
Page 6
Smith: Then the one that's adjacent to building one. I think you just encroach in the
landscape area there, and probably with just a little adjustment, you can do the same
with the one at the back of the site. We didn't get any elevations for. the east elevation
and south elevation of building two. Are those going to be similar in appearance? In
other words, you'll have a glass on those sides as well similar to what the other
elevations are indicating?
Bevan: Yes, they'd be similar elevations. I don't know if there'd be quite as much
glass, but there will be -the elevation will be similar. Are you speaking of the east side
of building one?
Smith: Well, we didn't get that one, but also the east elevation of building two and the
south elevation of building two.
Bevan: Well, most of the glass will be in the front. There will be some in the back, but it
won't be as prevalent as in the front.
Smith: Just typically you see this kind of building built where you just got a service
access from the back side and it's in deed the back side of the building. You have the
alleyway so to speak which is kind of what you've got created there, and it concerns me
that that east side of the property is kind of where everything is more or less been
backed up to. I don't know that I can really address that here, but --
Bevan: Well, the south side is going to be retail space, so that's going to be similar to
the north side of the building. This side here will be less windowed, and more of a back
Smith: What's the reason why you have the paving connecting that side? The two
parking areas on that side?
Bevan: On this side?
Smith: On the east side. Yeah, right there, the parking -the asphalt that goes along the
east side of building two, north and south.
Bevan: Yes. What's the reason for this? Well, we have access there. They are telling
me that we needed that access.
Smith: Who is they?
Johnson: I was going to hold you in reserve. Do you have to comment right now?
Stiles: I just wanted to say #hat t~~e fire department required that 20 foot driveway there.
Bevan: Yeah. That's what they told our -
Meridian Planning and Z~g Commission
March 10, 1998
Page 7
Smith: That's a requirement so they can drive their trucks. And they can't reach that
side of the building with their hoses from the north or south side? How long is that
building?
Bevan: One hundred and fifty four feet.
Smith: Oh, I'm sorry. It is on there. It seems to me that the fire department could
access all sides of this building without that alleyway having to be paved.
Bevan: I don't know, that's what they said was required, so that's what we did.
Smith: That seems like a - I don't see why that should be required, personally. And
where is your trash enclosure going to go?
Bevan: The - I don't know if they made it.
Smith: I didn't see it on here. It should be identified on there for the city council.
Bevan: Okay, we'll do that.
Smith: And then the landscaping seemed to be pretty vague as far as what you are
going to do landscaping. I think you should indicate on the site, especially along
Fairview what you are going to do in terms of landscaping, trees and -
Bevan: Well, those have the three trees here and two trees here.
Smith: That's not on my plan, though.
Bevan: Oh, I'm sorry.
Smith: I think that's just colored on yours.
Bevan: Yeah, I didn't realize he didn't do it on all of them.
Smith: I'm assuming these eight spaces that are on the -actually there's eleven
spaces that border the west property line, those are all going to be access from the
Econo Lube site?
Bevan: Yes, these here. There's a driveway here and a driveway here.
Smith: But your spaces that you have indicated that border the access -
Bevan: Yes, because their parking lot will back up to ours here.

Smith: Okay. You scared me with the silver paint color you submitted. I don't think I
really want to see a silver building there, and -
Bevan: Well, it's a drivit, more of a natural color.
Smith: No, I'm familiar with drivit. But I'm not really familiar with silver drivit.
Bevan: Well, it's -you know if you look by the mall, the Gap has a silver drivit. You
know where the Gap is across the street from the mall? That's the color.
Smith: That's what you intend is really silver. Okay, I didn't know if that was a mistake
or -
Bevan: No. We probably should have had it on drivit. I grant you that, because
personally I think that's not that great of color myself. But when it's in drivit, and it's the
Gap building color. That's the color silver. Yeah; it's silver.
Smith: Okay. More gray?
Bevan: Well, it's - I guess you color it silver or gray. That's what that's suppose to be.
Smith: The only other question or comment that I had was regarding what you were
going to do with signage on the building, and what you are going to do with signage for
the development itself. I didn't see anything indicated on the site plan.
Bevan: Yeah, it would be a monument sign would be out here. I know it's not listed
here. I don't know why I didn't put it there.
Smith: And what's your intention? Are you just going to call it Chelsea Square on the
sign with a street number or are you going to list each tenant on the sign.
Bevan: Well, we hadn't planned to list each tenant. We were just going to use it as
one sign for the development.
Smith: And would you be open to some type of pylon -when you say monument sign,
you mean not a pole mounted sign.
Bevan: No, it's on the ground.
Smith: Okay, sorry. It's been a long day. And were you planning on any signage on
the buildings to identify the tenants?
Bevan: Yes, a smaller sign above the door of the tenants.
Meridian Planning and Z~g Commission

Smith: I think it would be beneficial for the City Council to see an example of what you
are intending for your signage on the building.
Bevan: Okay, we can sure do that.
Smith: So we can look at that and offer our input on that.
Bevan: Okay.
Smith: Other than that, I'd like to just compliment you again on - I think this is a much
better submittal than what you originally came in with, and I think you took some of the
suggestions and comments we had seriously and I think, it makes for a much better
presentation, and eliminates a lot of questions that we have to ask you. Thank you for
that.
Bevan: Well, thank you, I appreciate that.
Smith: That's all I had.
Nelson: I have nothing.
Maccoy: Let me go back one moment here. I am a little behind the eight ball at this day
and point. This is my first -
Johnson: I have interject your name so -our new typist doesn't know your voice yet, so
this is Mr. Maccoy.
Maccoy: The drawings that we have here do not show any lighting of the property or for
parking or even if you got a lighting wash on your building or how you plan to illuminate
this place.
Bevan: Well, they - I thought they would have the lighting here too. We'It add that to
the other suggestions, and we will show the lighting.
Maccoy: We'll need to know that.
Bevan: Yeah, we'll certainly do that.
Johnson: Are we through? Shari Stiles, you had some comments or questions and I
appreciate your input.
Stiles: Chairman Johnson, commissioners, I received this last week, and I just had the
opportunity to review it today. I would like to see some addit;onal Things on the site
plan. The trash enclosures as was mentioned, the Wilson Lane improvements that are
required as part of this annexation and conditional use permit. The ADA access aisle
Meridian Planning and Z~~_,ng Commission
March 10, 1998
Page 10
that's required is eight feet for a van accessible space. I would like to see the trees
shown on the plan. There's 32 trees required with the paved area. And I'm not sure
how that is going to b® accomplished. I would like to see details on ,the signage, and
unless Ada County Highway District has a typo on their technical report, they were
requiring 54 feet from the section line. This is showing 50 feet from the center line, and
that would make a significant difference in this because the requirement is for an
additional 25 feet beyond the required right-of-way line. They need to show sidewalk on
Fairview. That needs to be constructed. There is no cross access to the adjacent lot at
Econo Lube, their plat. Their final plat has been approved. Their building permit has
been submitted, and there is a continuous seven foot landscape strip along the entire
perimeter of this, so there is no cross access. to this development. So these - I think
they would be willing to entertain maybe a point of access, but the double stacking with
contiguous access there would not be approved. I would also like to see the lighting as
was suggest, and the existing and proposed utilities as part of this plan. I appreciate
the new profiles. I think it's come a long way from the first elevations we received. But I
still think there is a lot work to comply with the ordinance and to present a submittal that
is complete.
Johnson: Thank you Shari.
Smith: Mr. Chairman, I have a question. Ms. Stiles are you saying that there's 50 feet
shown from the center line of Fairview Avenue right now back to where the landscaping
seems to be indicated there?
Stiles: Yes.
Smith: That's 50 feet?
Stiles: From center tine.
Smith: And the section line is how far south of the center line?
Stiles: It's about ten feet.
Smith: And then we require -ACRD is asking for 54 feet south of that as far as right-of
way?
Stiles: That could be a typo. I know that they've had some problems with the section
line and center line along Fairview, but I would like verification from them that they
mean, they actually do mean from the section line and not the center line.
Smith: Okay, and that includes their area for sidewalk and -
Stiles: Yes.

Prior: Proceed.
McKeegan: I wasn't present at the last hearing, it was my understanding that the
Commission had quite a few questions and concerns about the plot plan. We
addressed all of those concerns, including the Highway District's comments,
revised the site plan considerably so that all of the required parking is maintained
on the site without requiring access to any of the adjacent pieces of property,
we've met with Shari Stiles and Skip Voss the Fire Marshall to review the plan
that you have before you and they have given their blessing to the site
configuration. To my left, your right is a color rendering of the plan that you have.
The larger trees that are showing on that are existing trees that we're going to
make an attempt to save during construction. The smaller trees are indicated in
the darker green color and they meet the City's requirements for one three-inch
caliper tree for every 1500 square feet of parking area. The building site, the
total building area is still the same, approximately 20,000 square feet, it's broken
into two buildings however we have relocated the building in front building A so
that it is back in line with building B. The reason for doing this was to get the
required parking on the site without having access to using the property to the
west for access. In between the two buildings we've provided a courtyard and
there's going to be a clock tower that's showing in the elevations. The only
variance if you will that we're requesting is that along the west property line we
have I believe there's eight parking spaces that we're requesting that those be
compact spaces in depth only, they are going to be the full nine feet wide and
we're not requesting the minimum depth. The reason we're doing that is we're
maintaining afive-foot landscaped strip along that parking along the west
property line next to Econo Lube. Econo Lube will have a seven feet wide
landscape strip on the other side and we feel that having the compact spaces in
that location will not be a detriment because the cars will actually be able to pull
up to the curb and overhang into the landscaping a little bit because of the site
width we in that one area had to reduce the length I believe to eighteen feet
instead of the required nineteen feet or maybe it's seventeen six. We've shown
the trash enclosure relocated behind the building. We've shown the required City
street lights at the entrances, we've provided some additional lighting in the
parking areas and then we anticipate that as shown on the exterior elevations
we're going to have some light sconces that will also provide lighting at the
pedestrian walkways and other areas. We've provided, depending on the tenants
for glazing building A on the north east and west sides as well as the south side
opening onto the court and that will kind of depend on how the tenants evolve.
Building B will primarily be glazed on the north side facing the courtyard and the
west and the north side on the parking, we're anticipating those are probably
going to be a retail type use that the backside of the building which would be the
south and the east walls would be used far deliveries and access and we've
provided sidewalks and doors in those locations. As far as the architectural
design of the building, what you saw previously was more of a residential looking

building and discussing with the clients we felt that a commercial type building
would be more appropriate and we wanted to use some different materials or
different colors and textures of materials than you normally see in this
commercial type of structure. We're going with a gray (inaudible) material which
is a synthetic stucco but there's some newer materials out that actually have
stone in them so they simulate stone like materials rather than just the typical
monolithic colored materials and we're going to be going with that and as you can
tell the color Xerox's don't do justice to what we're going to be trying to do, for
some reason the gray's and the green's always get a little goofy when you use
the Xerox process but we're going with a light gray building with kind of a dark
gray band and then we're going to have kind two different colors of green accents
to accentuate the fascia band. The clock tower is going to have a functional clock
in it with a painted metal frame to act as kind of an accent and a focal point for
the center of the development. At this time I'd just like to request that" you
approve our project as submitted, we've made a -we've met all the requirements
that were requested of us, I might also add that we've indicated the extension of
the utilities down Wilson Lane from the west where they pickup at the Econo
Lube property. I would also like to note at this time Econo Lube is constructing
those utilities and expect to have those done either this week or at the end of
next week so when we start our project we'll be able to pick those up and
continue forward. At this time I would just open it up for any questions you might
have and once again if you have any questions of the owner he is also present.
Johnson: Okay thank you very much. Questions from the Commissioners?
MacCoy: I'll start it off. Looking at your layouts and (inaudible) you submitted this
last month your site lighting I only see three standards in your beginning one at
Wilson and one in the middle of a property. Is that indication or is that the total
three you're going to have?
McKeegan: The two at the driveways are the required ones, the streetlights tike I
indicated, we have another one showing in the parking area and then we are
going to have lighting on the building on approximate sixteen-foot centers and
that's going to be a high light sconce on the fascia which will light in front of the
buildings. At the point that we've approved for this we're going to hire an
electrical engineer who will then do a study of the site and do the calculations to
determine if we need more lightings and obviously we're not going to leave
people out in the dark we want people to be able to see the buildings at night, we
want people to be able to come to this building and feel safe and we're going to
provided whatever lighting is prudent under the circumstances. It's not our
intention to skimp on the lighting it's not in our best interests to have people out
there tripping and putting themselves in danger. Your comment's well taken.
MacCoy: Insurance is very costly. So you've taken care of my second question
that's the building face lighting because I was going to ask about did you have

planned but didn't show small standard lighting next to the parking or some place
like that but you've answered that question.
McKeegan: The large kind of triangular elements are sconce type lighting.
MacCoy: You show one trash area for building A and B, is that going to be as in
one location behind B?
McKeegan: That's correct and there's a sidewalk that connects down the east
sides of buildings A and B and again that will depend on the tenants. If we get a
tenant that's trash intensive then we'll expand that to accommodate those. If it
turns out to be more office users than retail users then they generate very little
trash but if you have something like a retail type use that is selling things that
have lots of big boxes and things like that then we'll have to adjust and again it's
not our intention to have the trash piled out behind the building in a pile, if it turns
out we need more area or a second dumpster then we'll accommodate that.
MacCoy: So the marker on-your plot plan there to show where trash -that would
just be an expanded section, it would not be another trash section some place
else then.
McKeegan: We hadn't planned one at this time, we Rresumed that it would be
best in the back part of the building where it was accessible from what we are
assuming is going to be the back side rather than having a second one out front
and having people hauling trash through the building. Normally on these types of
uses the trash and the deliveries are done through the back and so they don't
interfere with the clients.
MacCoy: Okay I just was wondering if you -and you've answered my question.
On your handicapped parking spaces is that shaded area a ramped area?
McKeegan: It would be the drop zone and then it would -there would either be a
- it would be a flat drop zone and then what we normally do is lower the sidewalk
and so the people go up to the sidewalk and then it feathers up rather than
having the ramp going out into the parking area.
MacCoy: Okay because you didn't show, at least the drawings we have doesn't
show the extra lines which would indicate you have cut down your curbing and
your signage on this building you just indicated a sign, what do you have
planned?
McKeegan: For the individual tenants we're presuming that each tenant will have
it's own graphics and we've indicated a panel above an area where the door
would be. Again, we don't have any specific tenants signed up for the building in
mind, if we have one tenant per building then we would probably center it and -

Johnson: You could condition the approval of the Findings of Fact with the comment
regarding signage and a general statement about conditions and flexibility if you didn't
want to be so specific in your comment.
Smith: I guess I just would like to know how the other commission members feel before
Johnson: Mr. Borup, how do you feel about it?
Borup: I don't have a lot of concern with this applicant. Mr. Bevan has been very
accommodating on changes.
Johnson: But specifically on the signage, do you have a problem with that?
Borup: No, I don't. I think he's already stated what his intentions are, and I think he's
going to do a first class project.
Johnson: Mr. MacCoy?
MacCoy: I had the question to him at the beginning on signage, and asked the question
about what kind of signs he was going to have and we got into a discussion on the fact
that we would like to see not a great big sign. We would like to see a monument sign,
and we had a little discussion at that time what that meant. Just as a side order, we
have for your clarification Mr. Smith, we are doing a re-work on the sign ordinance
anyway right now. I read your comment, heard your comment, and I felt that was a little
restrictive, but I passed at the time. So I don't have any problems with what you had to
say.
Johnson: Mr. Nelson, any comment at all?
Nelson: I don't have any comment.
Johnson: Any further discussion. If not, I'll entertain a motion please.
MacCoy: Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission hereby adopts and approves these
Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law.
Borup: Second.
Johnson: We have a motion and a second to approve the Findings of Fact and
Conclusions of Law as prepared.

ROLL CALL VOTE: Borup, yea. MacCoy, yea. Smith, yea. Nelson, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: All yea.
Johnson: Is there a decision of recommendation you wish to pass on to City Council?
MacCoy: Mr. Chairman, the decision of recommendation of the Meridian Planning and
Zoning Commission hereby recommends to the City Council, the City of Meridian that it
grant the conditional use permit requested by the applicant for the property described in
the application. The application be approved, the applicant shall satisfy the conditions
set forth in the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law or similar conditions as found
justified and appropriate by the City Council, and the property be required to meet the
water and sewer requirements, the fire and life safety codes, uniform fire code, parking
requirements, and the paving and landscaping requirements and all ordinances of the
City of Meridian. The conditional use shall be subject to review upon notice to the
applicant by the City.
Smith: Second.
Johnson: I have a motion and second to pass the decision of recommendation on as
read by Commissioner MacCoy. All in favor?
MOTION CARRIED: All ayes.
Prior: Chairman, if I may for just a moment. In regards to items number 7 and 8, I did
make a -just in regards to my memo, you mentioned that you would say something
about the memo that I submitted. I'd like to remind you.
Johnson: Yes, I didn't want to put you to all the trouble of writing that and then not
giving you recognition.
Prior: It was rather time consuming.
Johnson: I'll read what this memo says if I can find it. This is with respect to Eagle
Partners project, items 7 & 8. This is a request for the Planning and Zoning
Commission to defer a recommendation on the Eagle Partners project. This is a letter
from John Prior, City Attorney to Planning and Zoning Commissioners. The reason for
the deferment request is that the ACRD Commission has not sent a decision to the City
of Meridian on the road through the proposed Eagle Partners project. I believe that it
would be premature for the commission to make a recommendation to City Council
without a commitment from the ACRD commission on the proposed road. It has come
to my attention that the ACHD commission will discuss the matter at their May 20tH

planned but didn't show small standard lighting next to the parking or some place
like that but you've answered that question.
McKeegan: The large kind of triangular elements are sconce type lighting.
MacCoy: You show one trash area for building A and B, is that going to be as in
one location behind B?
McKeegan: That's correct and there's a sidewalk that connects down the east
sides of buildings A and B and again that will depend on the tenants. If we get a
tenant that's trash intensive then we'll expand that to accommodate those. If it
turns out to be more office users than retail users then they generate very little
trash but if you have something like a retail type use that is selling things that
have lots of big boxes and things like that then we'll have to adjust and again it's
not our intention to have the trash piled out behind the building in a pile, if it turns
out we need more area or a second dumpster then we'll accommodate that.
MacCoy: So the marker on your plot plan there to show where trash -that would
just be an expanded section, it would not be another trash section some place
else then.
McKeegan: We hadn't planned one at this time, we presumed that it would be
best in the back part of the building where it was accessible from what we are
assuming is going to be the back side rather than having a second one out front
and having people hauling trash through the building. Normally on these types of
uses the trash and the deliveries are done through the back and so they don't
interfere with the clients.
MacCoy: Okay I just was wondering if you -and you've answered my question.
On your handicapped parking spaces is that shaded area a ramped area?
McKeegan: It would be the drop zone and then it would -there would either be a
- it would be a flat drop zone and then what we normally do is lower the sidewalk
and so the people go up to the sidewalk and then it feathers up rather than
having the ramp going out into the parking area.
MacCoy: Okay because you didn't show, at least the drawings we have doesn't
show the extra lines which would indicate you have cut down your curbing and
your signage on this building you just indicated a sign, what do you have
planned?
McKeegan: For the individual tenants we're presuming that each tenant will have
it's own graphics and we've indicated a panel above an area where the door
would be. Again, we don't have any specific tenants signed up for the building in
mind, if we have one tenant per building then we would probably center it and -

MacCoy: -- But you've got a criteria for your sign size and then -
McKeegan: It would be in accordance with the zoning ordinance. We've shown I
believe the panel is approximately four-feet high by twelve to sixteen-feet wide
and that could be either individu flat the north dr veway atFairv ew AveWe've
also shown a monument sign ou
seventy-two square feet which would identify the center itself.
MacCoy: I'm just looking for uniformity in the whole complex there.
McKeegan: I'm sure that we would put together ten a throul hout the th ng would
be some uniformity and there would be a consis y 9
Johnson: Mr. Borup?
Borup: I think all of my questions have been answered.
Johnson: Mr. Smith?
Smith: t assume the -you said the qu the're was atbuest on onI whethe thereawas
worked out with ACRD but last month q
a conflict on the center line or section line.
McKeegan: It was from the center line of street sand itd'sdtsoe ~s~a~meoc~ fte~nty-fiveey
imposed on the Econo Lube project next door th
foot setback is from the new property line at the front of the site it's not from the
existing.
Smith: Getting back to the signage, maybe expand a little bit on what your client
envisions for the tenants of the building more of a professional office type use or
amore retail or just however the market demands -
McKeegan: We're basically at this point we're just - we have two very capable
people out there sending out proposals, some of those are to office users some
of those are to retail type users and it's really we've set the complex up to where
it could be either/or. If it's an office type use you probably won't have a lot of
signage unless it was some kind of like a national client like a Edward Jones or
something.
Smith: That's kind of what I'm heading towards h so much bad s gnage onus me
as it's proposed and it's probably more of seeing
Fairview Avenue and I would just like to encourage you to really take a hard look
at some type of graphics on the glass of the building in the windows something
that is not so jump out at you, jump off the side of the building a little more low

key, a little more professional clean looking and I'd also hope that you could
submit some ideas for your monument sign to the City Council when you submit
to them too. That's something that I'm really concerned about here on these
types of developments. Then you've got siding called out, looks like you've got
you've got split faced (inaudible) siding and then (inaudible) type product on the
outside, what type of siding are you envisioning?
McKeegan: Probably just a wide lap residential type or the type you see on
commercial buildings and we're putting that on the east and the south side on the
areas where the -we're going to have afour-foot coat of masonry so that when
the hand trucks and the carts and stuff are being hauled down there the building
will not get torn up and then just for purposes of economy we're putting the siding
on that, it'll be a probably a gray tone to match the EIFS or the drive it system the
stucco system we're going to be using it's just really an attempt to -you know if
we got tenants that wanted glass down that side of the building then we would
probably be glazing that. What we're concerned about is we don't know what's
going to be developed on that piece of property, we don't know if it's going to be
another warehouse that's going to back up to our building, we don't know if it's
going to be a parking lot but just for. - to make the building more economical to
build and maintain we're going to put up a product that is permanently colored so
we aren't going to be painting it all the time but because it is more the utilitarian
side of the building -for the first I think it's been about a week since I did the
renderings but I think for the first twenty or twenty-four feet on building A we have
shown the glass coming back and I can't remember if I showed the Drivot fascia
for the whole on all four sides of the building so that the siding is just going to be
down and also because of the trees and the landscaping that will tend to soften
that also.
Smith: Okay and then -this really -you can't really make a comment about the
color other than -
McKeegan: It's one of those things you're either going to really like it or you aren't
going to like it, it's very color -color's very subjective.
Smith: No it has nothing to do with - I can't tell really what it's going to be. Then
the last thing I wanted to ask about was the -- approximately 1/3 of your parking
is at the rear of the building but really all your -the way it's designed is all your
access to your buildings going to be from the west and the north side of building
B.
McKeegan: Yes that's correct we anticipated the parking on the south side would
be primarily for employees and overflow.

Smith: There's no real pedestrian link between that parking lot and the front of
the building, you'd have to go in -unless you go around the east side, I suppose
you could do that.
McKeegan: Yes you are correct.
Smith: That's all I had.
Johnson: Mr. Nelson?
Nelson: I have no questions.
Johnson: Anyone else? Any comments from staff at this time? Okay thank you
very much. This is a public hearing is anyone here to testify on this application?
Seeing no one then I'll close public hearing at this time. This is an application for
a conditional use permit and would require Findings of Facts and Conclusions of
Law.
Smith: Mr. Chairman I would like to make a motion that we direct the City
Attorney to prepare Findings of Fact on this application.

City Attorney are there any questions, any discussion any deletions, corrections
or additions that you'd tike to make to these?
Borup: Under last page -next to the last page -last page of the Findings
number ten item "I" and I'm assuming that this is probably inconsistent with City
ordinance but a question I had was whether it was really necessary to have a
licensed engineer design a drainage plan for the parking .area. The area is
already paved, it's existing paved driveway, they're looking at limited use for a
one statifln o~,eration. I don't know if that's anything we have an option of doing
anything about or not but that was the question I had. Maybe the attorney would
like to answer that.

Johnson: Any changes, additions, deletions to the Findings of Fact as prepared by our
City Attorney? Any comments?
Smith: I do have a comment, and it regarded my comment that I made on signage and
started thinking about it here over the past month, and basically what I'd asked is that
the signage be put on the glass of the buildings, and it was really a stupid comment. I
can't believe I said it. I think my concern on the signage on this project just has to do
that we don't get into some large unattractive signage and I don't know how my fellow
commissioners feel about this, and I don't want to drag this thing out, but I don't want to
limit them to putting signage on the glass because again I think that was a stupid idea,
but if there's some way that we can have some kind of a review process on this project
for signage on the building or establish some kind of criteria as far as height, raised
letters, or something along those lines. Probably something that would give the
applicant the most flexibility and have an opportunity to be creative would be to not
restrict them to a particular type of signage, but to ask them maybe to submit it for
review whether it's for the City Council or Planning and Zoning. I don't know.

Daunt Whitman on the occupancy load? I'm sorry I turned it in last week. I'll give you
the one that I have to look at. He has determined our maximum occupant load for 19,
and that includes my husband, myself, so that the greatest number of children that we
