Marshall: That's part of the --
Newton-Huckabay: Oh, it was the total square footage of the -- that the -- no single
building shall -- the applicant was proposing that no single building shall exceed 8,000
square feet without developer obtaining a Conditional Use Permit. Furthermore, no
building shall exceed three stories in height. I was looking at the total square footage
over the whole of the site, rather than any individual building. Is this ringing a bell with
anybody?
Moe: No, it's not.
Marshall: Yes.
Rohm: I think, though, that the Conditional Use Permit will cover that, if, in fact, they
come in with a proposal for a larger building. It's just noted that they have to make an
application for a CUP. So, we can still act on this application and deal with the CUP if,
in fact, it becomes necessary at a later date.
Newton-Huckabay: Okay. Well, then, I will go ahead and make a motion, unless
someone else is ready.
Rohm: No. Go ahead. You're on a role.
Newton-Huckabay: I move to recommend approval to City Council of file number CPA
08-005 and RZ 08-003 as presented in the staff report for the hearing date of August
7th -- do I have to reference we reopened it today?
Moe: Yes.
Newton-Huckabay: And the 14th -- August 7th and 14th, with the modification that the
maximum number of buildings allowed on the site would be 20, without -- without a
Conditional Use Permit or -- okay. Be limited to 20 buildings to be constructed on this
site. Scratch the CUP reference on there. End of motion.
Rohm: Second.
Moe: It's been moved and seconded to move onto City Council approving CPA 08-005
and RZ 08-003 for the Kennedy Commercial Center and -- all those in favor say aye.
Opposed? That motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.

(9+/- acres) for Kartchner by Richard Kartchner - 4325 and 4315 N. Ten
Mile Road:
Moe: At this time I'd like to reopen the public -- the hearing for CPA 08-006 for
Kartchner for the purposes of deliberation. Any other comments, Commissioners?
Commissioner Rohm, any comments?
Rohm: No. Well, I think we have all stated our positions previously and the staff did a
very good job of pointing out the air quality and the sound issues are reasons that they
are recommending denial and my only comments to any and all of that is at such time
that we end up in a fully developed wastewater treatment facility, I believe that the city
will be compelled to ultimately address the sound and odor issues via whatever
avenues are available to the city, as in building walls to keep the sound in and I think
that ultimately it will come to that and it may not be for ten or 15 years, I don't know, but
at some point in time I think that the city will be compelled to address those issues and it
will change the decibels on the Kartchner property. But the fact of the matter is is they
are not in that position today and so I think that's kind of dancing around the issue a little
bit, but the fact of the matter is is right now that property falls within the area that the city
is not in support of additional development. So, until the city has made those changes, I
don't know that I could support changing the land use map at this time.
Newton-Huckabay: Mr. Chair?
Moe: Commissioner Newton-Huckabay.
Newton-Huckabay: I just want to point out on the record that this -- that Richard
Kartchner did submit a letter on 8/11 for the 8/14 hearing and with signatures. It's in our
records here.
Moe: Okay.
Newton-Huckabay: And, again, stating his position regarding odor and noise that exists
on the property now.
Moe: Okay. Any other comments, Commissioners? If not, can I get a motion?
Newton-Huckabay: I would say lack of odor and noise that exists on the property now.
Moe: Okay.
Marshall: Okay. Mr. Chair?
Moe: Mr. Marshall.

Item 10: Continued Public Hearing from August 7, 2008: CPA 08-001 Request
to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map to change the
land use designation of 15.46 acres of land from Medium Density
Residential to Mixed Use -Community for Janicek Ten Mile /Chinden
Property by Janicek Properties, LLC - SWC of N. Ten Mile Road and W.
Chinden Boulevard:
Moe: At this time I'd like to open the hearing for CPA 08-001, for the Janicek Ten Mile -
Chinden properties for deliberation. Everyone remember where this one's at and the
conditions and such?
Newton-Huckabay: Okay. This was Chinden and -
Marshall: And Ten Mile.
Moe: Chinden and Ten Mile Road.
Newton-Huckabay: Okay. This is one where I have that -made note that -- I got the
impression that most of us were in disagreement with the city staff recommendation.
That the majority of the Commission felt like a mixed use community was an appropriate
use in this area.
Rohm: Would it be appropriate to ask staff to kind of give us a recap of the application,
real quick like. Is that possible?
Parsons: For tonight, no. Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, if you recall this
property, the applicant did a fine job of kind of giving you the history of this site when
they -- when they sold the property to David Turnbull, it was the impression that this
person could have this property and come in and have commercial on the site. I think
staffs contention is that -and the applicant did a good job of, basically, referencing that
this is just a Comp Plan amendment and the concept plan that they submitted was only
a conceptual plan. When they come in and choose to annex into the city, they will
definitely have something more substantial. If you recall in that concept plan they were
showing accesses onto Chinden, which staff had -- didn't support and, then, they didn't
