So, I think that's coming and it's actually going to be very -- I think very cool. I think you will like what you see. Have they seen that at all? Yeah. It's not ready yet, but it's in the works and we have had some good presentations from Ada county and what they are working on and trying to tie all that together, it should be a very nice project. De Weerd: Great. Any other questions or comments? Thank you, John. We appreciate the hard work. It's great to see how far the Parks Commission has come over the last couple of years and certainly your leadership and that of our director has really expanded the opportunities for the commission to really have an impact and be the citizens' voice. So, we appreciate all you do. Nesmith: Well, thank you, and appreciate your guys' time and working on this and trying to knock off some of these goals. De Weerd: Thank you. By next week? Nesmith: Sure. Item 7: Items Moved from Consent Agenda: De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Council, the items moved from the Consent Agenda have already been heard. Item 8: Continued Public Hearing from April 28, 2009: AZ 08-015 Request for Annexation and Zoning consisting of 15.05 acres from Ada County RUT to C-G (General Retail and Service Commercial) and I-L (Light Industrial) zones for Fianut by Ronald Van Auker -west side of South Locust Grove, north of East Overland Road and south of I-84: Item 9: Continued Public Hearing from April 28, 2009: RZ 08-009 Request for Rezone of 1.69 acres from C-G (General Retail and Service Commercial) to I-L (Light Industrial) zone for Fianut by Ronald Van Auker -west side of South Locust Grove, north of East Overland Road and south of I-84: Item 10: Continued Public Hearing from April 28, 2009: PP 08-012 Request for Preliminary Plat approval consisting of 6non-residential building lots and 1 other lot in a proposed C-G and I-L zoning districts for Fianut by Ronald Van Auker -west side of South Locust Grove, north of East Overland Road and south of I-84: De Weerd: We did have a request to move Items 8, 9 and 10 to June 9th. I will need a motion to continue these three items. Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 29 of 57 Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: I move that we continue Items 8, 9 and 10 to June 9th. Hoaglun: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to continue Items 8 through 10 to June 9th. All those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. De Weerd: Now, I really expected a comment on this, since it has been -- I think this is the third or fourth request to continue. Are we not moving it far enough back to -- why do we keep seeing this item on our agenda? Parsons: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I have been working with the applicant on this. Basically, when we went to P&Z, the applicant proposed adifferent -- a landscaping plan that was kind of current -- current with our current code today and finding out that he didn't have sufficient irrigation water rights, he's waiting on John Anderson from Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District to get them that letter, so that he can proceed with his application before you. I've communicated with them and instructed them that he doesn't need that letter in place to move forward with the preliminary plat, but he wants an opportunity to come in with staff and talk with staff about doing some Xeriscaping, rather than doing our traditional landscaping that our code requires now. So, he wants those discussions to happen before he brings the project before you and he feels that this should be the last continuance. He's hoping that's the case and that he can move forward and staff can certainly work with him on alternative compliance to get that landscaping the way he's proposing or at least some thing that's consistent with our ordinance. So, that's where we are sitting now. Item 11: Continued Public Hearing from May 12, 2009: AP 09-001 Request for City Council Review of the Planning Director's denial of Heron River Development, LLC request for an 18-month Time Extension for Jericho Subdivision (TE 09-013) by Engineering Solutions - 6055 & 6185 North Jericho Road: De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. So, Item 11 is a continued public hearing from May 12th AP 09-001. We had opened a public hearing at that meeting. We have not heard a presentation on it. I'll turn this over to staff. Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Yes.
