MOTION CARRIED: TWO AYES, TWO ABSENT Item 10. Public Hearing: PFP 03-002 Request for Preliminary /Final Plat approval of 3 building lots on 1.55 acres in an L-O zone for Gaudrv Seeumiller Subdivision by Gordon N. Anderson -southeast corner of East Gala Street and South Millennium: Corrie: Item Number 10 is a Public Hearing, request for apreliminary/Final Plat approval of three building lots on 1.55 acres in an L-O zone for Gaudry Seegmiller Subdivision by Gordon N. Anderson, southeast corner of East Gala Street and South Millennium. I will open the Public Hearing and invite staff's comments. Powell: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, this is yet another in a series of re- subdivisions and I believe it's Millennium Subdivision is the parent subdivision. On this one they are -- do have access along two roads, that's Gala and Millennium Way. This was a combined preliminary and final. That first drawing you saw was the Preliminary Plat. The Final Plat is a lot easier to read. They do -- are proposing three lots. Each would have frontage on a public road. Lot 1 takes access off of Gala. Lot 2 is the corner lot with frontage on both Millennium Way and Gala Street and, then, Lot 3 would Meridian Ciry Council Meeting July 1, 2003 Page 40 of 41 have -- would have frontage along Millennium Way, although the access would come -- be internal to the subdivision. They are providing two access points, one at Gala Street and one off of Millennium Way and, then, they have shown across-access here on the flag of the lot below and that will be an issue, so I will go briefly to show you that flag lot. This lot has a minimum amount of frontage on Millennium Way and, then, it is kind of tucked behind in the corner of this area here. This is -- both of these are vacant parcels surrounding the subject property. This came forward with a recommendation for approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission. The primary issue of discussion was the need for cross-access within the subdivision to the surrounding property. At that time they specifically talked about adding cross-access at this point and at this point. Please note that they do have cross-access or a point to access the flag lot at this location here. The Planning and Zoning Commission required that applicant submit a revised plat to us ten days prior to hearing. I have -- they have not provided that. I believe it's because they do not wish to provide the cross-access and I believe the applicant can speak to that issue. Staff had -- the consensus among staff was that, yes, this should go through. Applicant -- the property owner to the south did -- was pushing for this particular access, so they could have access straight from Gala Street into their property, rather than having to come kind of this round about way. I guess it's a good question for City Council as to which route would be most appropriate. The city has made a commitment to having interconnected commercial properties. It's a hard call for staff on this one whether it would be appropriate or not. At a minimum, staff would like to see a pedestrian connection at this location. That includes staff remarks. Corrie: Okay. Thank you, any questions for staff? Bird: I have none. Cowie: All right. This is a Public Hearing. Is the applicant here this evening? Good time to continue the Public Hearing. Bird: Mr. Mayor? Cowie: Mr. Bird. Bird: Anna, I got a question. You said one of the conditions that they had to have a revised Preliminary Plat in here ten days before we put it on the schedule -- we put it on our calendar. Why do we put it on our calendar if we didn't have adeal -- we didn't have the revised, if that was one of the conditions you want to put it on there. Is there a reason? Mr. Clerk, is it a legal reason or something that we -- okay. That's what I thought. That's what I was thinking. We have so many days to do it -- Berg: Yes, Councilman Bird, we had already noticed the Public Hearing in the paper way prior to the 10 days. Powell: Mr. Mayor, Council member Bird, typically, what we would do when we haven't received that is just automatically request to continue it. Where it didn't require much Meridian City Council Meeting July 1, 2003 Page 41 of 41 imagination to envision what the cross-access would mean in this instance, I decided to go ahead and present it to you, not knowing that there was no applicant, so I'm sorry about that. Bird: No problem. Not your fault. Mr. Mayor? Corrie: Mr. Bird. Bird: With that I would move that we continue Public Hearing PFP 03-002, request for preliminary and Final Plat approval of three building lots on 1.55 acres in an L-O zone Gaudry Seegmiller Subdivision by Gordon Anderson, until July 22, 2003. Nary: Second. Corrie. Okay. Motion has been made to continue the Public Hearing on Item PFP 03- 002, request for Preliminary and Final Plat. Is there any further discussion? All those in favor of the motion say aye. Two ayes. Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: TWO AYES, TWO ABSENT Corrie: Okay. That ends our meeting tonight, so I will entertain a motion to adjourn, if there is nothing else. Nary: Mr. Mayor, I'd move to adjourn. Bird: Second. Corrie: Motion has been made and seconded. All those in favor say aye? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Corrie: We adjourned at five minutes until 9:00. MEETING ADJOURNED AT 8:55 P.M. (TAPE ON FILE OF THESE PROCEEDINGS) APPROVED: ROBERT D.
