Centers: Right.
Knopp: And so somebody evidently did drop the ball, so it's not that we -- that we
figured that we are in trouble on it, we just feel pretty adamant about the cross-
connection vehicular traffic down to Lot 3, so --
Centers: Well, at any rate, we will hear it the 17ti,
Knopp: Great.
Centers: If possible.
Knopp: Thank you very much.
Centers: Absolutely. Pardon? Yes, 17th of July, as along as we have the verbal of the
Council. We will have their minutes, anyway. Okay.
Powell: I believe the clerk -- the Deputy Clerk -- I'm not sure what -- Jessica. I don't
know her title. It's the 22"d. She looked.
Centers: So, the applicant is wrong.
Powell: It will be August 7"'
Centers: Yes. It will be --
Powell: Or August 22"d
Centers: -- it was continued to the 22"d of July and that's after our meeting, so you're
looking at August 21 S` that this is continued to.
Knopp: Okay.
Item 11. Public Hearing: CUP 03-025 Request for a Conditional Use Permit for
a bank facility with adrive-thru window in a C-C zone for Idaho Banking
Company by Idaho Banking Company - 1875 South Eagle Road:
Centers: Next item on the agenda, Item 11, CUP 03-025, it's a request for a Conditional
Use Permit for Idaho Banking Company on South Eagle Road. Open with staff
comments.
Hawkins-Clark: Thank you, Chairman Centers, Members of the Commission. This
request is for a bank facility with three drive-thru windows, three drive-thru lanes, in a C-
Czone. It is within Bonita Subdivision, which came through as EI Dorado, Overland on
the north, Eagle Road on the east. The applicant is proposing this bank to be
constructed on a future lot. As you can see on the Site Plan, the EI Dorado business

campus has not been recorded as a formal plat yet. It has been -- the Final Plat has
been approved and I believe they are very close to recording, but there is not to date a
recorded subdivision there. The applicant is submitting this Conditional Use Permit with
the knowledge that -- that they are restricted to the 18 months, which is the maximum
time frame for a Conditional Use Permit to be valid. We don't anticipate that to be a
problem, but we did request the applicant to submit a memo stating that they are fully
aware that if approved tonight it is contingent on the recording of the subdivision before
they would be able to get a Building Permit. The way that the Site Plan is shown on the
screen, north is up, Eagle Road is here on the right-hand side of the screen. Tarpon
Drive would be on the north side of this future lot within Bonita Subdivision. The
applicant did submit a revised Site Plan. What I'm showing here on the screen tonight
is that revised Site Plan. I just wanted to make sure that the Commission was aware
that there was a Site Plan that was revised after that, which you have got in your
packets. The access to this facility is shown off of Tarpon Drive, actually, here off of the
legal -- outside the legal boundaries of their lot. They would have to get across-access
easement through this lot and they would proceed east to access the drive-thru and
their facility. They have parking both on the west and east sides of this main drive-thru,
then, the automobiles come and orient themselves to the east and, then, would continue
around the building and, then, exit the property at the same shared access point on
Tarpon Drive. There were just a couple of outstanding issues on this, which I
addressed on page four. One of those we are asking the applicant tonight to address
the cross-access, why -- why they are showing some parking off site and if that access
is entered into with the adjacent property owner with the developer, so we are just
asking for that -- a clarification of that intention tonight. The second item is the pending
site layout. Their cover letter did request -- their May 8th cover letter did request the
opportunity for them to have some flexibility in the design of their west elevation, as well
as some of the lot lines. Since this is not recorded, they may want to shift these a little
bit, and I have addressed that in the condition number three, which says that any lot line
adjustment or cross-access easements or re-subdivision necessary to accommodate
this site are going to have to be approved prior to issuance of a certificate of zoning
compliance. We are also recommending that the Commission and Council grant
administrative authority for us to approve minor modifications, as long as it does not
affect the drive-thru, which is the only reason for the Conditional Use Permit before you,
anyway. If -- as long as they don't modify the drive-thru lanes, the traffic circulation
pattern, that elevation, that other slight modifications staff could approve at the time they
come in for Building Permits and we would be comfortable with that. I think those are
the only two items to point out.
Centers: Thank you. Any questions?
Zaremba: Do you have a larger picture of what --what is it now, Bonita? That identifies
where Tarpon is within that subdivision?
Hawkins-Clark: I'm sorry, I don't. The elevations are shown here. I'll go back to the
original vicinity map and -- we are talking, I believe, approximately in this location.

Zaremba: Okay. The reason I asked that question was that -- if Tarpon were here,
then, the south facing speakers on the bank would be an issue for these residents. If
Tarpon is up there, I have no problem with it.
Hawkins-Clark: Yes. It's within the northern quarter.
Zaremba: Okay. Easy for me.
Centers: Very good. Applicant?
Larsen: Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, my name is Cornell Larsen, 210
Murray Street in Garden City. I'm here tonight representing Idaho Banking. In an effort
to be short tonight, because I want to get through the agenda, because I have another
item on the agenda, I've got a couple of handouts for you that I could show you, which
might help clarify. This is, actually, another copy of the site that Brad has on the screen
for you and, then, a colored rendering of the building that I .could -- I'd like to pass
around. We are in agreement with the staff report. We don't have too many things to
discuss. I wanted to take a brief moment and explain one issue that we wanted to make
sure we were clear on regarding cross-access. We would have across-access
easement here with the adjacent lot and these parking stalls are just inadvertently
drawn on there, they are not intended to be used by the banking facility. They were,
actually, shown on another piece that was kind of cut out of our master plan for the
project and so these would not be a part of this project, they would be done at a future
date and they may not be in that configuration at all. We were trying to avoid any
connectivity going to the south, simply because the drive-thru traffic is going like this
and out and, really, our only access is here and -- excuse me -- in through the drive-
thru. Until the bank knew what was going on down here, they were really reluctant to
have a connection her. We wanted you to be aware of that, that we were trying to
protect that drive-in and the access to it and anything that may occur in the way of an
accident at that location or a conflict with the drive-thru. Our cross-access, we would be
able to provide right here real easily with no problem at all and we would work that out
with Mr. Moore and with staff. Let's see. We want to have the drive-thru on the south
side and we are in approximately the location that Brad had shown you on the overview
for the project itself, so -- on location in EI Dorado. That is very consistent with what
they are showing and I don't have any other comments. I would be happy to answer
any questions that you might have.
Centers: Questions? Very good. Thank you.
Larsen: Thank you.
Centers: Thank you. Anyone else here to testify on this application? All right.
Zaremba: Mr. Chairman, I move the Public Hearing on Item 11 be closed.
Rohm: Second.
