Recommendation: VAC 03-003 Request for a Vacation of a sewer easement on Lot 2 Block 1 of Pack It Up Subdivision by Pinnacle Engineers -north of East Overland Road approximately one-half mile west of South Eagle Road: Powell: Chairman Borup, before you beginning your first Public Hearing, I wanted to introduce our new staff member to you. Craig Hood is here and he will be bringing cases to you soon. He is madly working on his first application as we speak. I just wanted to let you know who he was and see his bright shining face. Borup: Okay. Welcome. Thank you. Okay. First -- actually, the first two items are -- require just recommendations from this body. The first item VAC 03-003, request for vacation of a sewer easement, Lot 2, Block 1, Pack It Up Subdivision by Pinnacle Engineers. I'd like to start with the staff report. Hawkins-Clark: Good evening, Chairman Borup, Members of the Commission. This item is requesting a vacation of an existing sewer easement in Pack It Up Subdivision. It's on the north side of Overland Road. As you may recall, this was approved originally for astorage --mini storage project. A day care currently is on Lot 4 down here in the southeast corner of the subdivision. The easement is shown here, the north-south easement coming off of the Nine Mile Drain, was originally intended to come through the drive aisle of the storage unit complex and head south to serve other frontage lots on Overland Road there. The applicant's requesting -- Pinnacle Engineers is requesting that that easement be vacated, so that they have the opportunity to construct over it. Is there anything else from Public Works? Public Works has noted that they see no reason to keep it there, so staff is in support of the vacation. Borup: All right. Commissioners, I think we need a motion for recommendation. Centefa: Mr. Chairman? Borup: Yes, Commissioner Centers. Centers: Would concur and make a recommendation that we approve Item Number 4 on the agenda, VAC 03-003. Zaremba: Second. Borup: Motion and second. All in favor? Any opposed? Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission Meegng August 21, 2003 Paga 3 of 113 MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, TWO ABSENT Item 5. Recommendation: VAC 03-004 Request for Vacation of a dedicated fifteen-foot right-of-way on West 4'h Street for Meridian Head Start by Friends of Children and Families, Inc. -- 333 West Broadway Avenue: Borup: Item Number 5, recommendation VAC 03-004, a request for vacation of dedicated 15-foot right of way, West 4'h Street, for Meridian Head Start, by Friends of Children and Family, Incorporated, at 333 West Broadway. We will start with the staff report on that item also. Siddoway: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. This is also a vacation request. This one is of right of way. The location -- you will recall the Head Start project that came through here recently for a Conditional Use Permit, that project is the subject property and adjacent to it on its west boundary is an existing right of way. That right of way was dedicated in a 1903 plat and it was a 30-foot right of way at that time. In 1961, the city vacated the west half of that right of way and quitclaimed it to the property owner to the west. The remaining 15 feet is all that's left and they are requesting that that be vacated. It does dead end at the railroad tracks, there is no possibility for it to be extended as a street in the future, and staff has checked with the Ada County Highway District, they have submitted their consent for this application, it's necessary for them to go through and get city approval first prior to going through ACHD's formal process. They are requesting vacation of that remaining 15 feet of right of way tonight and 1 would stand for any questions. Borup: Questions from the Commission? Zaremba: I only have one typical off-the-wall question. I know ACHD didn't exist in 1903, but did the city pay anything for that right of way? Siddoway: I would doubt it. I think it probably was just dedicated on the plat. Zaremba: Okay. Siddoway: The way the streets are today. Borup: All right. Sounds good to me. Centers: Mr. Chairman? The only other question I had, Steve, was I guess the applicant was going to be here to address the utilities that you had been concerned about. Siddoway: Yes. The applicant is in the audience. I did have two special considerations. The first was simply just to alert you to the process that this is not a Public Hearing, but it is a process by which the Commission makes a recommendation to the Council. I also had one in there about utilities and ask that the applicant verify August 18, 2003 MERIDIAN PLANNING & ZONING MEETING APPLICANT Pinnacle Engineers REQUEST Recommendation -Request for a Vacation of a sewer easement on Lot 2 Block 1 of Pack It Up Subdivision -north of East Overland Road approximately one half mile west of South Eaale Road AGENCY CITY CLERK: CITY ENGINEER: CITY PLANNING DIRECTOR: CITY ATTORNEY CITY POLICE DEPT: CITY FIRE DEPT: CITY BUILDING DEPT: CITY WATER DEPT: CITY SEWER DEPT: CITY PARKS DEPT: MERIDIAN SCHOOL DISTRICT: SANITARY SERVICES: ADA COUNTY HIGHWAY DISTRICT: CENTRAL DISTRICT HEALTH: NAMPA MERIDIAN IRRIGATION: SETTLERS' IRRIGATION: IDAHO POWER: INTERMOUNTAIN GAS: OTHER: Contacted: IAN ~/ Emailed: VAC 03-003 COMMENTS ~2e a#~e~~ Cowt,~~v~~ /~„ ,~-,-~ rr-e~ ~-c~ Date: ' ~t/~ ,Staff Initials: August 21, 2003 ITEM NO. 4 Materials presented at publ~ meehngs shall became properly of The HUB OF TREASURE M.1Y0 Robot U.

The Public Works Department has reviewed the sewer options for this property and do not foresee any problems with the proposed vacation. LOCATION & SURROUNDING USES The easement to be vacated is located on the north side of E. Overland Road, on Lot 2, Block 1 of Pack It Up Subdivision, approximately'/ west of Locust Grove Road.
