Centers: Motion and second to recommend approval on Item 13 on our agenda. All in favor? Motion carried. MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, TWO ABSENT Zaremba: Mr. Chairman, I move we forward to the City Council recommending approval of Item 14 on our agenda, CUP 03-020, request for a Conditional Use Permit for attached single-family residential. I would correct that to say attached duplexes, the net result being that they are actually 4-plexes, but we are doing a Conditional Use Permit for attached duplex residential, with commercial, proposed R-15 PD and C-N zones for proposed The Courtyard at Ten Mile by Doug Campbell, Tom Bevan, DTE Developers, southeast corner of North Ten Mile Road and West Pine Avenue. To include all staff comments of their memo, transmittal date June 30, 2003, with the following changes: On Page 11, the fourth bullet, front of garage setback, the first sentence should read: The applicant wishes to reduce the front of garage setback to 18 feet. The last sentence in that same paragraph should read: Staff does not support this comment -- this concept, excuse me, if permanent parking is proposed in front of the garages. Staff and Commission do agree that temporary guest parking is okay. Let's see. I believe that's it. Centers: Would you be amenable to including in the motion the -- highly recommending that the developer push ACHD for a four-way stop at Ten Mile and Pine and relocation of the bus pickup? Zaremba: Yes, I would be happy to include that. So included. Centers: Thank you. Rohm: Second. Centers: Motion and second to approve Item 14 on our agenda. All in favor? Motion carried. MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, TWO ABSENT Item 15. Public Hearing: PP 03-013 Request for Preliminary Plat of 5 building lots on 2.69 acres in an L-O zone for Lynnwood Plaza Subdivision by Centennial Development, LLC -east of North Ten Mile Road on West Cherry Lane: Centers: We are getting there, folks. At this time I'd like to open Item Number 15 on our agenda, it's a Public Hearing for Preliminary Plat 03-013, for Lynnwood Plaza Subdivision and we will start with the staff report. Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting July 3, 2003 Page 82 of 91 Kirkpatrick: Chairman, Members of the Commission, this is a Preliminary Plat application. It's located on West Cherry Lane, south of Devlin Place Subdivision, which was fairly recently approved. The property is zoned L-O. The property is actually Rezoned through a Development Agreement that was a part of the .Devlin Place Subdivision. Let's see. Surrounding land uses. We have -- actually, probably immediately surrounding the subject property is all residential, but to the south and the west we have -- there is a bank that's going in and the St. Alphonsus Medical Center. Here is an aerial of the subject property and here is the proposed Preliminary Plat. It is a five lot commercial subdivision. All lots will have frontage off of Cherry Lane and there will be a single point of access off of Cherry Lane. The only comment staff really had on this project, we are asking the applicant to provide a connection to an existing pathway in Devlin Place Subdivision and the applicant has agreed to go ahead and supply --and put that pathway in. Staff recommends approval of this Preliminary Plat with conditions. Are there any questions of staff? Centers: Any questions? Zaremba: I have one minor one. On Page 3, Preliminary Plat requirements, paragraph one, the last two sentences confused me and I think I solved part of it, but alternate pipe material shall be employed where depth of cover from sub grade to top of pipe is three feet or less. Kirkpatrick: Okay. That's, actually, a public works comments, so I'm going to have Bruce explain that for you. Zaremba: Okay. Then, the following sentence: In no case will three feet of cover from finish grade to top of pipe be accepted. Should that be will less than three feet? Three feet or more is acceptable, right? Freckleton: That's correct. Zaremba: So, in no case will less than three feet of cover from finish grade to top of pipe be accepted. Freckleton: You're correct. Zaremba: Can I add those words? Freckleton: You may. Zaremba: Okay. Freckleton: Thank you. Centers: Would the applicant like to come forward? Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting July 3, 2003 Page 83 of 91 Larsen: Chairman Centers, Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission, my name is Cornell Larsen, address is 210 Murray Street, Garden City. I'd like to be brief tonight. We did have a handout for you. It looks like it's shown on your screen. I do have some elevations and floor plans of the buildings if you'd like to see those, so you can get a feel for what the buildings that are proposed on that site. The actual elevations of the project are on the second page, which is labeled Building A. There are two different building types that we were looking at doing and a third that we haven't really designed, but they have a little different line on each one, so we were looking at varying the roof lines a little bit, so there is a little variety on the site. As far as the staff comments went, I just wanted to make sure I clarified the one that you had talked to Bruce about on Item Number 1. I also wanted to make sure I understood item number three, which was requiring the parking area and I'm assuming that we can do that through the standard parking lot lighting, that we wouldn't be required like a 30 foot city pole, so we weren't blasting light into the back of those neighbors' yards. I'd like to keep the height down on that particular -- on the pole in that particular project. As far as the - - there was a question regarding the Landscape Plan and also one regarding the setbacks around the property. On the revised map that I have given you there is the 20- foot setback all the way around, buffer, too. The residential on the three sides of it. It's our initial intent to do this building right here first, which is shown as crosshatched on the first sheet of that handout that I gave to you. We would also be developing all the lahdscaping along the frontage to about a point of 40 feet short of the property line. There is currently some irrigation in here that runs up through there and in order for us to pipe that we need the water to be out of there. We would hope that we could finish this up, but it may be next spring before that last section gets done and let me look at -- and as far as Item Number 11, which was the existing Development Agreement, the existing development agreement was modified by City Council to sometime back. We do have a new Development Agreement that is concurrent with this project and we just wanted to make sure that you knew that we had modified the. Development Agreement from -- it was originally part of Devlin Place to make this project more compliant with the wishes of the city. With that I would be happy to answer any questions. Centers: Any questions? Zaremba: I have two, actually. Let's see. Is it intended that all of these buildings will be one story, single story? Larsen: Correct. Zaremba: Okay. Then, the other is a curiosity. The odd shapes of these lots, are there some great advantage to insuring that they all have street frontage? Larsen: I believe that that's a requirement from the subdivision ordinance, that they will have street frontage. As a direct result of that, they are odd shaped, yes. They will have cross-access easements to -- it will probably be a blank cross-access over the entire property. Meddian Planning and Zoning Commission Mewing July 3, 2003 Page 84 of 91 Zaremba: Okay. Centers: Okay. Thank you. Larsen: Thank you. Centers: Anyone else here to testify? All right. Rohm: I would move that we close the Public Hearing. Zaremba: I will second that. Centers: Motion and second to close the Public Hearing, all in favor? MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, TWO ABSENT Freckleton: Mr. Chairman? Centers: Yes. Freckleton: Would you like to me address the street light issue? Centers: Yes. Freckleton: Mr. Larsen is correct, we are -- I changed the note from what I -- I normally put in standard comments. These are not going to be city-owned streetlights, these are your standard parking lot lighting. I just want to make sure that you have .security lighting on site and that it -- we would highly encourage downcast lighting, so -- Larsen: Perfect. Centers: So, I guess number three could be just changed to what Bruce just said. Zaremba: I am so doing. Centers: And developer wanted to do that. I was going to take him for his word anyway. Don't want to put street lights up there. Okay. Zaremba: Okay. Mr. Chairman, I move that we forward to the City Council recommending approval of Item 15 on our agenda, PP 03-013, request for Preliminary Plat of five building lots on 2.69 acres in an L-O zone for Lynwood Plaza Subdivision by Centennial Development, LLC. East of North Ten Mile Road and west of Cherry Lane, to include all staff comments of the staff memo transmittal date June 30, 2003, with the following changes: On Page 3, Preliminary Plat requirement Paragraph 1, the last sentence is changed to insert words to read. In no case will less than three feet of cover from finish grade to top of pipe be accepted. Paragraph 3 is changed to read: Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting July 3, 2003 Page 85 of 97 Parking lot lighting will be required within the parking areas. All light shall be installed at subdivider's expense and be downcast to avoid light on adjoining properties. End of motion. Rohm: I'll second that. Centers: Motion and second to approve Item 15 on our agenda. All in favor`? Motion carried. MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, TWO ABSENT Item 16. Public Hearing: AZ 03-012 Request for annexation and zoning of 24.004 acres from R1 to R-2 zones for Carol Subdivision by The City of Meridian -west of North Eagle Road and south of East Ustick Road: Centers: Item Number 16. We would like to open this Public Hearing at this time, annexation and zoning of 24 acres in the Carol Subdivision and who is going to present that for the City of Meridian? Kirkpatrick: That's me. Chairman, Members of the Commission, this is an application for an annexation and Rezone of, essentially, portions of the Carol Subdivision. You can see the subject property is located west of the Eagle Road and- south of East Ustick Road. Here is an aerial. It's, actually, kind of difficult to make out on the overhead, but 22 lots of the existing Carol Subdivision -- it's existing, fully built out, homes are constructed. Twenty-two lots of this existing subdivision will be annexed into the City of Meridian and be provided with services. Centers: How many total lots in that sub? I didn't count them Kirkpatrick: Me either, so -- Centers: It looks to be at least half. Zaremba: I have that same question. Centers: I was just curious. Kirkpatrick: I think it's about half. All of these lots are continuously contiguous to the city of Meridian. We have had the property surveyed and we have a legal description and all lots are technically contiguous and do qualify for annexation and Rezone. The city is acting on behalf of these property owners and, actually, in 2002 originally sent out a notice to property owners letting them know there is an option to annexation into the City of Meridian and obtain services and several neighborhood meetings were held. The applicants were not -- or people in this neighborhood were not required to annex into the City of Meridian, since it's purely optional. Let's see. This annexation has been made possible by the expansion of the South Slough sewer and water project and has
