I don't see any reason not to approve it. Borup: I agree. Centers: Mr. Chairman, I would like to recommend approval of Item 16 -- previously 16, moved up to Item Number 5 on our agenda, which is CUP 03-018, request for Conditional Use Permit for a bank with drive-thru in an I-L for Washington Trust Bank by Russ Wolfe. South of East Presidential Drive and east of North Eagle Road, including all staff comments from the memo dated May -- excuse me -- dated -- it says hearing date May 1St, received April 25t", including all staff comments from that memo. Zaremba: I will second that. Borup: Motion and second. Any discussion? All in favor? Any opposed? MOTION CARRIED:. ALL AYES Borup: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Wolfe. Was that fast enough for you, for your schedule? We'd like to mention that if you have the revised plan into staff at least 10 days before the City Council Hearing -well, maybe you don't need ten days to review those changes, but those shouldn't take too long to change either. All right. Thank you. McKinnon: Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, since we have got a little break here, I'd like to recognize the fact that the new Planning Director is here tonight, Anna Powell. Those of you who haven't had a chance to -- Borup: I did notice that and I was to going to mention that. I didn't know if she was going to participate in something coming up or not. Powell: No. Just listening tonight. Borup: Okay glad to have you, ma'am. Item 5. Public Hearing: PFP 03-001 Request for Preliminary /Final Plat approval of 2 building lots on 2.46 acres in an L-O zone for Gala Park Subdivision by Paul Aigner - 1620 Celebration Avenue: Borup: Okay. The next item is Public Hearing PFP 03-001, request for Preliminary/Final Plat of two building lots on 2.46 acres in an L-O zone for Gala Park Subdivision by Paul Aigner at 1620 Celebration Avenue. We'd like to open this Public Hearing and start with the staff report. Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting May 1, 2003 Page 8 of 107 Kirkpatrick: Chairman, Members of the Commission, this application is for atwo-lot subdivision on 2.46 acres in an L-O zone. This application is for a Preliminary and Final Plat approval. This site is located on an existing lot in Resolution Business Park, which is currently vacant. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the existing 2.46-acre lot into two lots. They meet all of the minimum dimensional requirements for the L-O zone and improvements, including irrigation, sewer, water, and landscaping have already been installed. Staff recommends approval of this two-lot subdivision. Are there any questions of staff? Centers: Yes. Mr. Chairman. Page 3 of your staff report, is that the end, Item 9, or is there another page that I'm missing? Kirkpatrick: I'm assuming that's the end -- Centers: Pardon? Kirkpatrick: I'm assuming that's the end. I didn't write the staff report. Borup: It did not make a recommendation. Is that what you're referring to? Centers: So I wondered if I was missing a page Zaremba: I can live without the recommendation, because you have expressed it. My question would be whether there are some other site-specific comments beyond nine that are missing, because I don't have a Page 4, either. Kirkpatrick: Typically, this is our last condition in site-specific comments. Centers: Okay. Borup: Is the applicant here and would like to make their presentation? Aigner: Good evening. My name is Paul Aigner, 10900 Northeast Fort Street in Bellevue, Washington. I'm the owners representative for Treasure Valley Pediatrics. Millennium Pediatrics is the current property owner of that site. I have been working with them on the development, which we are before you for Conditional Use for the clinic that's currently under construction and now they are looking at just subdividing it into two properties. I had the same question regarding Number 9, if that was the end of it. It looks to me like the staff recommendation is in the first bold paragraph on the first page, though, we have reviewed the above-referenced submittals and offer the following comments as conditions of approval, I don't know if that's a staff recommendation or not, but we concur with all the staff recommendations. We have no problems with the conditions and I'm here to answer any questions you might have. Mathes: Where is Treasure Valley Pediatrics on that lot? Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting May 1, 2003 Page 9 of 107 Aigner: Lot 1. Mathes: Okay. Aigner: Yes. Lot 1. It's under construction right now. Borup: So, essentially, you're splitting off Lot 2? Aigner: That's correct. Borup: To have that available for whatever. Aigner: Yes. Exactly. Borup: Okay any other questions from the Commissioners? Aigner: Thank you. Borup: Do we have anyone to testify on this application? Seeing none, Commissioners? Centers: Mr. Chairman, I'd move we close the Public Hearing. Zaremba: Second. Borup: Motion and second to close the Public Hearing. All in favor? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES Centers: Mr. Chairman, I would like to recommend approval for Item Number 5 on our agenda, PFP 03-001. Request for preliminary/Final Plat approval of two building lots on 2.46 acres in an L-O zone for Gala Park Sub by Paul Aigner at 1620 Celebration Avenue, including all staff comments from a memo dated hearing date May 1, 2003, and received April 25~'. Zaremba: I would only add that if there is a Page 4 to the staff comments that has more site-specific -- I'm saying if there is one, then it should be presented at the City Council hearing. Centers: I would include that in my motion. Zaremba: That being said, I'll second it. Centers: However, backing up. If the applicant hasn't seen Page 4, how can we include it? I don't think -- I'm not the legal mind here. Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting May 1, 2003 Page 10 of 107 Wollen: Well, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, I believe that in your recommendation I think that how you're couching it is that you have not seen Page 4, if there is a Page 4, and that the City Council should be alerted to that fact. Borup: Well, staff has already stated that there is not a Page 4. We could also include in the motion if there is a Page 5 and 6? We haven't seen those either. Centers: Well, I'll stand on my motion, then, including all staff comments with no reference to a Page 4. Zaremba: I will second. Borup: All right. Motion and second. All in favor? Any opposed? Thank you. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES Item 6. Public Hearing: CUP 03-011 Request for a Conditional Use Permit for two 9,500 square foot retail buildings with associated site improvements in an L-O zone for Resolution Subdivision by G.L. Voigt Development - 1611 South Millennium Way and 2045 West Overland Road: Borup: Item Number 6 is CUP 03-011, request for a Conditional Use Permit for two 9,500 square foot retail buildings with associated site improvements in an L-O zone for Resolution Subdivision by G.L. Voigt Development. This is at 1611 South Millennium Way. Really, in the same project, just to the west a little bit. Like to open this Public Hearing and start with the staff report. McKinnon: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. As you stated just now, this is a similar location to the project we just approved. On the overhead, the bolded area, just south on Overland, just to the other side of --just to the west side of Millennium Way is the subject property. Again, there is an aerial photo showing the overlay of how Resolution Subdivision -- the entire subdivision was developed. Just to the south, this large area is now Mountain View High School, just for orientation sake. When Resolution Subdivision was approved, it was approved as a Planned Development back in the year 2000. This is a Planned Development within a Planned Development. As you know, two buildings on a single lot require the applicant to submit a Conditional Use Permit fora Planned Development. As part of a Planned Development, the applicant is required to provide two amenities. The two amenities that the applicant has provided for this application happen to be in the central area, a small courtyard area, with four benches and a central lobby area. This is not one of the amenities. It's a listed amenity in the Meridian City Code. However, in the Meridian City Code says that you may approve other amenities that are not listed if you believe that they are appropriate is size for the project that's being proposed. The staff believes that the applicant's proposed amenities are appropriate for this size, in consideration of the fact that the original Resolution Subdivision proper was approved as a Planned Development. I have had a chance to talk with the architect for the project. He has
