Centers: Yes. I'd make that motion.
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.

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.

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.
