Item 8: Public Hearing: PFP 08-001 Request for Preliminary /Final Plat approval of 2single-family residential building lots on 0.33 of an acre in an R-8 zoning district for Fullmer by Jeffrey Fullmer -end of E. Carlton between E. Fifth Street and Cathy Lane: Moe: I'd like to call us back to order. At this time I'd like to open the public hearing on PFP 080-001, for Fullmer and ask the staff to report. Wafters: Thank you, Chairman Moe, Members of the Commission. The application before you is a preliminary/final plat application for Fullmer Subdivision and it consists of two single family residential building lots on .33 of an acre, zoned R-8. The property is located right here. It's on the southeast of and at the terminus of East Carlton Street, east of Northeast 5th Street. This is an aerial view of the property. The aerial shows an existing home here. It has been removed. The site is currently vacant. The surrounding uses are all single family residential. To the north is Sterling Creek Subdivision, zoned R-8. To the east is North Cathy Lane, which borders the property. And, then, Catheryn's Park Subdivision, zoned R-8 to the east. To the south is Cottage Home Addition Subdivision, zoned R-8. And to the west is more Cottage Home Addition Subdivision and East Carlton Avenue, zoned R-8. A little history on this site. The southern portion of the subject property here was platted as part of Cottage Home Addition to Meridian Subdivision in 1897. A property boundary adjustment was approved by the planning department on June 11th that includes three lots platted in Cottage Home Addition to Meridian and the unplatted parcel at the end of East Carlton Meridian Planning & Zoning July 17, 2008 Page 33 of 71 Avenue. This is a copy of the record of survey submitted with the property boundary adjustment. The property boundary adjustment creates three new parcels from the previous lot parcel configuration, with frontage for each of the parcels on East Carlton Avenue. These all have -- share a common driveway now. These were flagged out. All of these lots were previously platted without public street frontage. This is a preliminary plat that includes two building lots, lot one here and lot two. One consists of 6,942 square feet and the other is 7,540 square feet. The gross density of the subdivision is 6.25 dwelling units per acre. Access to the subdivision is provided from East Carlton Avenue via a 201 foot wide common driveway, benefiting the two proposed lots and also the two previously platted lots that are not a part of this subdivision. Emergency access is provided from North Cathy Lane. There will be bollards installed here and they will need to be approved, the design, as an emergency access needs to be approved by the fire department. This is a copy of the final plat. And there as no landscaping required, so no landscape plan was submitted. However, there are two -- there are two existing large trees on the site. If either of them are removed, the applicant will be required to mitigate for those as additional trees on the site in accordance with UDC standards. And these are conceptual building elevations that are proposed for the site. They have three types of building materials on the front, stone, brick accents, and two types of siding, as you can see here. No letters of testimony have been received on this application. The applicant submitted a letter in response to the staff report. Based on this letter, staff is requesting the following conditions of approval noted in Exhibit B of the staff report be stricken. Condition number 1.3.1 pertaining to the sidewalk along Carlton, no sidewalk is -- staff wants no sidewalk to be required there, because of the proposed width of the common driveway. As you see here on this diagram, there is -- it's the same width as Carlton. There is no room for a sidewalk. ACHD is not requiring a sidewalk either, because of that reason, and also because there is no existing sidewalk to tie to in this area. Also one point -- condition 1.2.4 is requested to be stricken pertaining to submitting evidence of agency approval of right of way and public utility improvements prior to issuance of building permits or signature on the final plat, as it's not necessary to include as a condition. Staff is recommending approval per the conditions in the staff report based on the findings in Exhibit D and previously mentioned modifications. Staff will stand for any questions the Commission may have. Moe: Any there questions? Marshall: Mr. Chairman? Moe: Mr. Marshall. Marshall: Does staff have any recommendations on the -- the pressurized irrigation required for two lots? Steckline: Mr. Chair, Commissioner Marshall, yeah, it's -- it's pretty similar in cases like this where either Nampa-Meridian or Settlers don't have irrigation available in some of these subdivisions. What we ask is the applicant get a waiver or, basically, that they Meridian Planning 8~ Zoning July 17, 2008 Page 34 of 71 don't have irrigation water provided in that area, so they will hook up to city water. We just require that they get that letter for us. Marshall: Thanks. Moe: Any other questions? Would the applicant like to come forward. Stiles: Sheri Stiles. Engineer Solutions. 1029 North Rosario Street in Meridian. Sonya did an excellent job. We are proposing not to have pressurized irrigation due to the fact that for two lots a pumping station is 30,000 dollars and it's really cost prohibitive to try to retro this in-fill piece to current urban standards, so -- unless you have questions of me, that's really all I had to offer. Moe: So, will you be able to get the letter? Stiles: Yes. We will get a letter from Nampa-Meridian Imgation District. Moe: Any other questions? Rohm: No questions. Stiles: Thank you. Moe: Thank you. There is no one signed up to speak. If there is anyone that would like to come forward, you're more than welcome. Newton-Huckabay: Mr. Chair? Moe: Okay. Hello. Commissioner Newton-Huckabay. Newton-Huckabay: I recommend we close the public hearing on PFP 08-001. Rohm: Second. Moe: It's been moved and seconded to close the public hearing on PFP 08-001. All those in favor say aye. Opposed? Hearing is closed. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Newton-Huckabay: I have clarification I need to make before I make a motion. Sonya, I didn't get the number of the first condition of approval you wanted to be removed. Moe: It's right here. Newton-Huckabay: 1.3.1. Okay. So, 1.3.1 and 1.2.4. Meridian Planning & Zoning July 17, 2008 Page 35 of 71 Moe: That's correct. Newton-Huckabay: Are the only modifications. After considering all staff, applicant, and public testimony, I move to recommend approval to the City Council of file number PFP 08-001 as presented in the staff report for the hearing date of July 17th, 2008, with the following modifications to the conditions of approval: That condition of approval 1.2.4, in reference to evidence of any right of way construction be removed and 1.3.1, which discusses the sidewalk being installed, be removed. End of motion. Rohm: Second. Moe: It's been moved and seconded to recommend approval to the City Council of PFP 08-001 with the modifications as noted. All those in favor say aye. Opposed? That motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
