Approve Minutes of November 6, 2008 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting: Newton-Huckabay: Next item on the agenda is the Consent Agenda. Could I have a motion to approve the Consent Agenda if there is no changes? O'Brien: So moved. Rohm: Second. Newton-Huckabay: All those in favor? Opposed? Motion carries. Thank you. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. ONE ABSENT. Newton-Huckabay: Thank you. Okay. Very quickly. I want to go through the overview of the meeting. We will start with the staff presentations. We will hear from them first. Their job is to review the application based on its adherence to the Comprehensive Plan and city ordinance. Once that's complete the applicant will have 15 minutes to present their application to us and, then, once the application -- the applicant has finished, the public will each have three minutes to testify before the Commission. If you are a homeowner -- or speaking for a homeowners association, you may have up to ten minutes. Once the public has completed their testimony, the applicant will be given the opportunity to respond to any and all testimony and answer any questions that were raised during the public testimony. I just want to remind everyone to, please, speak into microphone and we do have a timer, it's over here off to the right of me, with lights on it and that will kind of tell you what your time is on your presentation. And, please, make sure that you are addressing the Commission and, please, do not ask questions from the audience. Item 4: Continued Public Hearing from October 16, 2008: RZ 08-005 Request for Rezone of 26.58 acres from an R-4 to an R-8 zone for Cavanaugh Ridge by Kastera Development, LLC -east of S. Meridian Road and south of E. Victory Road: Item 5: Continued Public Hearing from October 16, 2008: PP 08-010 Request for Preliminary Plat approval for 255 residential building lots and 26 common area lots on 91.08 acres in an R-4 and proposed R-8 zoning district for Cavanaugh Ridge by Kastera Development, LLC -east of S. Meridian Road and south of E. Victory Road: Newton-Huckabay: And with that I will open the first hearing. It's a continued public hearing from October 16th, 2008, RZ 08-005 and PP 08-010. I'd like to open this for the sole purpose of discussing whether we will require a re-notice of this application as they are requesting a six month delay and whether we will charge them fees to re-notice any applicable fees related to that. Meridian Planning 8~ Zoning November 20, 2008 Page 3 of 48 Marshall: Madam Chair? Seeing how that it's six months out, I think it very appropriate to require re-noticing, so that the public has a clear opportunity to recognize that they need -- if they want to address this issue. Newton-Huckabay: Okay. We will hear from staff very quickly. Sonya, do you have any comments on this one? Wafters: Madam Chair, Members of the Commission, staff would recommend that this project be re-noticed, since it is six months down the road, and that the applicant be charged the applicable noticing fees. Newton-Huckabay: Thank you. Any other comments? Marshall: I made mine. Rohm: It seems appropriate. Is the applicant here? Newton-Huckabay: No. Rohm: Oh. Okay. O'Brien: Excuse me, Madam Chair. When was the -- when staff -- the first time that they came on, was it just within a few months -- is there a time limit, like six months, a year, something like that, before it would have to be re-noticed or does that have to do with the changes that they are making that would make it important to re-notice? Canning: Madam Chair, Commissioner O'Brien, there is no mandated requirements for re-noticing. The applicant called me and said -- quite frankly, they just -- we had asked them to make changes and they just didn't want to invest any money in this project at this time. They wanted to wait six months and move forward at that time, but as you may have heard, the development community is a little slow right now. I said, well, we don't have a precedent, but there is no reason we can't continue you for six months or whatever you need. It's preferable to continuing out month by month by month by month. So, they weren't ready with -- to withdraw the application, but they did ask to continue it and I agree with Sonya's assessment. I think it is appropriate to re-notice. They just didn't want to withdraw, have to resubmit, and, then, have to cue up for another hearing. O'Brien: That makes sense and I agree that it should be re-noticed, too. Newton-Huckabay: Ready for a motion? Marshall: Madam Chair? Newton-Huckabay: Commissioner Marshall. Meridian Planning & Zoning November 20, 2008 Page 4 of 48 Marshall: I move that RZ 08-005 and PP 08-010 be continued to the regularly scheduled Planning and Zoning Commission meeting of May 22nd, 2009. O'Brien: May 21st. Marshall: Of May 21st, 2009. But that the applicant should be required to re-notice and post for the continued hearing. O'Brien: I'll second. Newton-Huckabay: It's been moved and seconded to approve RZ 08 dash -- or continue RZ 08-005 and PP 08-010 to May 21st, 2009. All those in favor? Opposed? Motion carves. MOTION CARRIES: FOUR AYES. ONE ABSENT. Item 6: Continued Public Hearing from October 2, 2008: AZ 08-012 Request for Annexation and Zoning of 5.03 acres of land from RUT in Ada County to an R-4 zone for Shays Cove by Landmark Engineering & Planning, Inc. - 3155 S. Mesa Way: Item 7: Continued Public from October 2, 2008: PP 08-009 Request for Preliminary Plat approval of 8single-family residential building lots and 3 common lots on 4.45 acres in a proposed R-4 zoning district for Shays Cove by Landmark Engineering & Planning, Inc. - 3155 S. Mesa Way: Newton-Huckabay: Okay. The next item on the agenda is AZ 08-012 and PP 08-009 for Shays Cove. We did continue this hearing from October 2nd and we are hearing tonight responses based -- based on addition of an extended street, I believe, Sonya. Wafters: Thank you, Madam Chair, Member of the Commission. At the last Commission meeting that this was heard on October 2nd, the Commission recommended that South Coy Place be extended as a stub street to the north property boundary for future extension and that a temporary turnaround be provided. The applicant has done this and submitted a revised plat, as you can see there on the screen. They did eliminate one lot, 8,600 square foot lot off of Mesa Way and has just included that property in lot -- I believe it's three there. So, the total lot count is reduced to seven from eight as before shown. Staff will stand for any questions the Commission may have on that at this time. Newton-Huckabay: Any questions for staff? O'Brien: Not at this time. Newton-Huckabay: Would the applicant like to come forward from clear out there. Nice Biggs, huh.
