Itern 9: Public Hearing: SHP 08-004 Request for a Short Plat to amend existing
4-unit condominium, Building E on a commercial building lot in a C-N zone
for Quenzer Commons Condominia~m Arnendment No. 2 by Brighton
Commercial, Inc. - 1545 E. Leigh Field Drive:
De Weerd: Thank you all. Okay. Item 9 is a public hearing on SHP 08-004. I will open
this public hearing with staff comments.
Hood: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. Item No. 9 is a short plat.
Essentially, short and sweet. This is a revised short plat. They are doing a
condominium on this building and the original condominium, the walls -- the dimensions
of the wall areas and the descriptions now have to be amended, so they are back
before us for a revised short plat. It just has to do, again, with the internal dimensions of
the wall space in the four lease areas -- or for sale areas in Quenzer Commons
condominium -- excuse me -- on short plat number two. It's off of Leighfield Drive in
Quenzer Commons. I do have a letter from the applicant agreeing to all the conditions
in the staff report and I will stand for any quesfions you may have.
De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions?
Bird: I have none.
Borton: No.
Zaremba: No.
De Weerd: Okay. This is a public hearing. Is there anyone who would like to provide
tesfimony on this application? Like the applicant. No. Okay.
Borton: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Borton.
Borton: I move that we close the public hearing on Item 9, SHP 08-004.
Zaremba: Second.

Item 10: Public Hearing: SHP 08-005 Request for Short Plat approval to create 2
building lots on 1.05 acres in an L-0 zone for Cammann Park
Subdivision by Todd Meyers - NEC of NW 8th Street and Cherry Lane:
De Weerd: Okay. Item 10 is a public hearing on SHP 08-005. I will open this public
hearing with staff comments.
Hood: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. Item No. 10 is also a short
plat for the Cammann Park Subdivision. It's located on the northeast corner of
Northwest 8th Street and Cherry Lane. Here is an aerial view of the site. As you can
see, one of the areas of the short plat -- one of the lots is already developed with an
existing professional office building. They are proposing to develop the remainder area
with another professional office building just to the east in this general vicinity here.
They will be using this driveway as a shared access, as well as that -- excuse me -- that
other driveway over to 8th Street for both lots within the proposed subdivision. This
does have the two lots. Staff is recommending approval. We did receive testimony
today from Ada County Highway District, a memo firom Christie Rich -- or Christie Little,
excuse me. And the memo states that they may in the future restrict one or both of
these access points to the adjacent roadway due to traffic volumes and/or injuries.
They are approving them at this point, but they just wanted to put that out there, that
fihey may restrict those in the futur,e. Really, the only issue that we have for you tonight
is the question of landscaping adjacent to the existing lot. The landscape plan that staff
received only included this lot within fhe plan, so there wasn't a plan showing what
