Item 2: Adoption of the Agenda:
Moe: Next item on the agenda is the adoption of the agenda and we do have a change
this evening. That would be that on Item No. 8, which is a Public Hearing for AZ 08-001
for the Overland Village, it .has been requested for a continuance and we will be
discussing that when it comes up. Also what I would like to do is I would like to -- that
right there is our last item of the evening, so I would like to move that up to the front to
be before Item No. 4. So, if I could get a motion to approve the adoption of the agenda
for the -- number one, the continuance of the Public Hearing AZ 08-001 and also
moving it to the front of tonight's agenda, I would appreciate it.
Rohm: So moved.
O'Brien: Second.
Moe: It has been moved and seconded to approve the adoption of the agenda as
revised.. All those in favor say aye. Opposed same sign? That motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES.. ONE ABSENT.

Moe: Next item on the agenda is the Consent Agenda and we have nothing listed, so
we will move forward.
Item 8: Public Hearing,: AZ 08-001 Request for Annexation and Zoning of 9.06
acres from the RUT & R1 zoning districts in Ada County to the C-G zoning
district for Overland Village by Relo Development - 3330 E. Overland
Road:
Moe: At this time I will open -- like to open the Public Hearing on AZ 08-001 for the sole
purpose of continuing this hearing, but what I would like to let the Commission know is
that the staff -- basically, the applicant was wanting to have this item continued to our
next hearing of March 8th, but on the -- or, excuse me, March 6th. But on that evening
we have four hearings that, quite frankly, we may not make it through all four hearings.
There could be a few of those that are going to take some time. Just to let you know,
the first one on that evening would be Castle Rock. City Council has remanded it back
to us, so we will -- thank you very much. And so we will have some discussion on that.
And, then, there is the Villas at Lochsa Falls and, then, Sonic Southern Springs and,
then, Regency at River Valley. So, what I would like to do is staff would like to send that
on to the March 20th, but at this time the only item that we would have on the 20th
would be the item that we want to continue. However, I'm anticipating that we may end
up on that 6th continuing one of them to the 20th. So, I guess my feeling would be to go
ahead and continue the hearing -- this evening's hearings to the 20th, but I do want you
folks to have a chance to weigh in on your opinion on whether we move it to the 20th.
Commissioner Newton-Huckabay, do you have any thoughts?
Newton-Huckabay: That's fine with me. Is it too late to push some of the ones on the
6th to the 20th? Why did we load up the 6th schedule agenda?
Rohm: Just lucky.
Moe: It was just a lucky thing.
Rohm: Mr. Chairman?
Moe: Yes, sir.
Rohm: From my perspective I think we could just go ahead and put it the last item on
the agenda for the next meeting and if, in fact, we don't get to it, that's the luck of the
draw for them. I mean the fact of the matter is the continuance is -- is at their
convenience and if we don't get to it, it will be continued to the following meeting
anyway. So, that's just my --
Moe: Okay.
Rohm: -- take on it.

Moe: Mr. O'Brien, do you have comment?
O'Brien: Weil, Ithink -- I think the March 20th is more conducive to being able to hear it
from beginning. To have the people wait until who knows how long and, then, have to
continue it I think would be not in the best interest at this time. I think it's better just to go
ahead and set it onto the 20th for sure.
Moe: Okay. I would weigh in on pretty much the same comments. I would be
concerned that there would be quite a few people possibly waiting around and, then,
having to continue it anyway.
Rohm: Okay. Mr. Chairman?
Moe: Yes, sir.
Rohm: I move that we continue Item No. AZ 08-001 to the regularly scheduled meeting
of March 20th.
O'Brien: Second.
Moe: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to continue the Public Hearing on AZ 08-
001 for Overland Village to the regularly scheduled P&Z meeting of March 20th. All
those in favor say aye. Opposed same sign? That motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. ONE ABSENT.
Moe: Okay. At this time before we go onto our next Public Hearing, for some of you that
haven't been here before, we want to kind of just give you a brief overview of what will
happen tonight and kind of go from there. I will open the hearing, at which time the staff
will give a brief overview of the -- of the item, at which time after that is done the
applicant will be able to come up and spend ten minutes basically reviewing what staff
had to say and putting their opinions within their project as well. After that ten minutes,
there are sign-up sheets in the back, if you have signed up to speak, we will go through
the list and call you one at a time. Each person speaking you have three minutes to
make your comments. After all the signatures have spoke, I will ask one more time if
there is anyone else in the audience that would like to speak, at which time you will be
available to come up and have your three minutes. After all the public testimony, at that
point, then, the applicant will be given time to come back up and rebut all comments
made and., then, at that time the Commission, then, will act on the hearing.
