Borup: We want to handle that -- do we need to -- Centers: Pardon? Borup: I just thought I was doing that as informational for the audience and, then, we can address it when we come to it. Centers: When we get to it? Okay. Fine. Item 6. Public Hearing: PP 03-006 Request for Preliminary Plat approval of 17 building lots and 2 other lots on 10.17 acres in C-N and R-40 zones for Devon Park No. 2 by Fairview Lakes, LLC - 824 East Fairview Avenue: Borup: Okay. Item Number 6, Public Hearing PP 03-006, request for Preliminary Plat approval of 17 building lots and two other lots on 10.17 acres in a C-N and R-40 zones for Devon Park No. 2 by Fairview Lakes, LLC. Like to open this hearing at this time and start with the staff report. McKinnon: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. In Devon Park No. 2, this is part of the ongoing Fairview Lakes saga. We have had a lot of discussion about this. Tonight we are just going to be discussing Devon Park No. 2. Last month we addressed this with a Conditional Use Permit and changed this from being 196 apartments down to 92 apartments with some office buildings. The applicant is requesting to plat just the portion with the -with the apartment building and this office -- the office units that are on the eastern side of the property. The western side of the property with the office units they are treating that as one lot. In the future, they will come back with another Preliminary Plat to subdivide that. I know you have all read the staff report and had an opportunity to review that. We have reviewed this at length a number of times. It complies with the approved Conditional Use Permit for this site. Part of the reason for platting this lot at this time is so that -- these lots at this time is so that the private road that was approved originally can be constructed and dedicated to Ada County Highway District prior to occupancy of any of the buildings pursuant to the Development Agreement on the annexation of this property. At this time I will end my staff report and ask if you have any questions. Borup: Questions from any of the Commissioners? Zaremba: Mr. Chairman? Borup: Does the applicant have a -- Commissioner Zaremba. Zaremba: Yes, I do have a question. The one thing I don't see on what I believe is my copy of the Preliminary Plat is the requirement that the buildings on Lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 be limited to one story. I know we made that issue last time. Meridian Planningand Zoning Commission June 5, 2003 Pg 17 of 100 McKinnon: Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, Commissioner Zaremba, if I remember correctly, that was something that was dropped as a condition. We decided not to include that as part of the conditions of approval, because it was no longer being a three story apartment building, it was going to be office use, and the applicant at that time said this is not going to be part of the -- these are going to be one story office buildings, because of the size of the lots and it was a drop from the -- I don't have a copy of the minutes from the last meeting, if someone has that we can -- Zaremba: My recollection was the applicant didn't care and we did put that condition on it. McKinnon: Okay. Well, we can take a look at that. If that's the case that would be something to fine tune at this point. It's not something that we typically see with a Preliminary Plat requirement, because it's not part of our subdivision ordinance, it would be something that would be pursuant to the Conditional Use Permit that was approved, and all plats do have to abide by the Conditional Use Permit that was approved for that plat. Rather than include it as part of the conditions of approval for the plat, which in addition to all the requirements that we currently have, if it is in the Conditional Use Permit it would be something that would still be required. Borup: And that's what I was going to mention. Go ahead, Commissioner Mathes. Mathes: Dave, didn't you say you wanted to add a CUP on the front of the plan anyway? McKinnon: On Page 3, Number 3, and Note Number 12. Mathes: Right. McKinnon: The development of the subdivision -- Mathes: So, that would be covered, even if it's not on there. McKinnon: That's correct. Mathes: Okay. Borup: Okay. It looks like that would handle that, Commissioner Zaremba. Okay. Does the applicant have a presentation they'd like to make? Vaught: Steve -- excuse me, I have laryngitis. Steve Vaught, 11 Auto Drive, Boise, Idaho. We are fine with everything that staff has recommended and as far as the underground-pressurized irrigation system, we are working with Nampa-Meridian Irrigation and it will be a private system dedicated to Nampa-Meridian. Borup: Any questions from any of the Commissioners? Zaremba: Well, it would require a long answer but they have all been answered. Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission June 5, 2003 Pg 18 of 100 Borup: Do we have anyone else here to testify on this application? Seeing none, Commissioners? Zaremba: Mr. Chairman, I move that the Public Hearing on Item 6 be closed. Centers: Second. Borup: Motion and second to close the Public Hearing. All in favor? Any opposed? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES Borup: Do we have a motion? Zaremba: Mr. Chairman? Borup: Commissioner Zaremba. Zaremba: I move we forward to the City Council recommending approval of Item 6 on our agenda, PP 03-006, request for Preliminary Plat approval of 17 building lots and two other lots on 10.17 acres in C-N and R-40 zones for Devon Park No. 2 by Fairview Lakes, LLC, at 824 East Fairview Avenue, to include all staff comments of their memo of -- well, it's for hearing date of today, received by the City Clerk on May 2nd. Centers: Second. Borup: Motion and second. All in favor? Any opposed? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Powell: Chairman Borup, before you move on to the next item, I would like to say that that was Dave's last presentation before you all and though I have not been here long, I know he will be missed. I just wanted to acknowledge that -- oh, some of you didn't know. Borup: No, we didn't. Powell: Oh. Dave has given notice, tomorrow is his last day of work, and he will be joining Pinnacle Engineers. You will see him again, but we won't talk about that. Borup: He's gone to the other side. Zaremba: He has been a fount of useful information and provided us much background in many things and I wish him well. We will miss you. Maybe we will see you on the other side of the microphone sometime. Centers: Yes. We will miss you, Dave. I didn't know that.
