CORRIE RON MANNING Mayor June 3, 1997 Commissioners Eastlake, Huber & Richardson ACRD Commission 318 East 37m Street Boise, ID 83714 Re: Family Physicians of Meridian Northwest Corner of Ten Mile/Cherry Lane Dear Commissioners: In December of 1994, James W. and Lois Jean Fuller requested rezoning of their property at the northwest comer of Ten Mile Road and Cherry Lane from R-4 to L-O. Also requested at that time was a conditional use permit to allow construction of a convenience store. Although the City Council approved of the rezoning to L-O, the request for a convenience store was denied. It was felt that an office would be a more appropriate use of the property. A condition of the rezoning was that any use of the property would undergo site plan review by the City Council with input from the adjacent property owners. No additional public hearings were to be conducted. On January 3, 1995, the Ada County Highway District Commission acted on the rezone and conditional use applications for the property. The facts and findings acted upon by the Commission approved aright-in/right-out access to Cherry Lane with installation of a raised median on Cherry Lane paid for by the developer. In March of this year, the City was approached with a proposal for a doctor's office at this same location. Knowing that this was desirable from the viewpoints of the City and the neighbors, the applicant proceeded with due diligence to ascertain conditions of the rezoning so they could comply. ~ ~ ACRD Commission June 3, 1997 Page 2 The City made available copies of the Commission's conditions of approval, as well as comments of staff and other agencies, to allow them to design the site in accordance with those approvals. Property owners near the site were notified and the site plan review was scheduled for April 15, 1997. With input from the neighborhood, the Council granted unanimous approval of the site plan. The project was well thought out and welcomed to the neighborhood. We have now learned that ACHD staff has made a determination that the curb cut on Cherry Lane should be eliminated. An appeal of this determination was denied by the ACHD Commission on May 15, 1997, with the simple statement that if they needed two accesses, they should look for another site. This, is an extreme hardship on the applicant. A foundation permit was issued on May 1, 1997, and construction has commenced.. We request that you reconsider your denial of the request, and that you honor the original requirements of the proposed convenience store, allowing aright- in/right-out access to Cherry Lane, with construction of the deceleration lane and median by the applicant. The Meridian Fire Department is also requesting that the access remain open for access and safety reasons. The site clearly functions better with two accesses, and the applicant never had reason to believe that a curb cut approved for a convenience store would not be acceptable for an office use. If you need additional information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you. Sincerely, CI'IiY MERI LAN ~ ~ /tc,2 ert D. Corrie, Mayor Walt W.

Northwest corner of Ten Mile Road and Cherry Lane Family Physicians of Meridian On May 14, 1997, the Com>aaission denied the applicant's appeal of the prohibition of a driveway on Cherry Lane. The Ciry of Meridian has written a letter to the Commissioners citing the history of the parcel and requesting that the Commission apply the conditions of approval for a previous development for the proposed office use (letter attached). On January 4, 1995, the Commission reviewed an application for a rezone from R~ to L-O to construct a convenience store/gas station on the subject site (report attached). The report for that application contains the following Facts and Findings: ~l4 ...The optimrvn offset for access from an intersection of two arterials with a 3S mph speed limit is 330-feet, This offset allows for stacking lanes for left turns to Ten Mile Road and the grocery store and a transition between the stacking lanes. One access to Cherry Zane is proposed with an offset of .i30-feet from the intersection with Ten Mile Road and 125 feet from the intersection with Sugar Creek Drive. This access interferes with the stacking lanes described above and leaves no designated place of refuge for vehicles turning left into the proposed convenience store from Cherry Lane, Therefore, staff recommends that the access be allowed for right- in/righr-out turns only with a raised median installed on Cherry Lane paid for by the developer. ll5 One access to Ten Mile Road is proposed with an o,,~set of 227 feet from Cherry Lane. Staff recommends that this access be shifted north 20 feet and the radii on the curb returns be reduced from 30 feet ro IS feet. The conditional uce for t_he convenient s or Igas ctatinn was not,~pprove~ by the City of Meridian, but the L-O zoning apparently was approved.

Knowing that this was desirable from the viewpoints of the City and the neighbors, the applicant proceeded with due diligence to ascertain conditions of the rezoning so they could comply. The City made available copies of the Commission's conditions of approval, as wel! as comments of staff and other agencies. Property owners near the site were notified and the site plan review was scheduled for April 1S, 1997.° Chronological history: The applicant called staff to diswss access to the parcel. On February 2S, 1997, staff visited the site and determined that the site had insufficient frontage on Bather Cherry Lane or Ten Mile Road for aright-in/right-out driveway that meet the District's current required offset of 220-feet from the intersection. Staff told the applicant that staff could support a variance for a driveway on Ten Mile Road aligned with a driveway to a church on the east side of Ten Mile Road, but staff would recommend that access to Cherry Lane be denied. • The applicant verbally stated his objection to staff regazding the access restriction on Cherry Lane. Staff responded that the applicant should make a written request for the access and once staff made a written denial of the driveway, the applicant could appeal staff s denial to the Commission. • The applicant made a written request for a driveway on Chesxy Lane that is dated March 7, 1997, but stamped received by the District on Apri14, 1997. • On April 15, 1997, the City of Meridian reviewed and approved the site plan for the proposed doctor's office. • On Apri123, 1997, District staff wrote a letter to the applicant denying the requested access to Cherry Lane. • On Apri128, 1997, the applicant wrote a letter appealing staff s decision to the Commission. • On May 1, 1997, the City of Meridian issued a foundation permit. • On May 14, 1997, the Commission denied the appeal. It should be noted that the City of Meridian reviewed and approved the site plan for the proposed doctor's office on April ZS, 1997, at which time, the applicant was already aware that ACRD staff was not supportive of the driveway to Cherry Lane, It does not appear that the applicant made this information available to the City of Meridian. Staff continues to support a single driveway to the site from Ten Mile Road, without access to Cherry Lane.

The dwelling that was at site has been removed. A l7-foot wide curb cut was constructed on Cherry Lane for the dwelling. The cut was for the existing residential use, if a new development is proposed for the site, the driveways will revaluated for compliance with District policy. Staff has reviewed your request for a curb cut driveway on Cherry Lane both through apre-application meeting and again with your written request. You have requested a curb cut driveway, located 134-feet of Ten Mile Road. As stated in your letter, the requested curb cut does not meet the required District ofi from Ten Mile Road of 440-feet for a full access driveway or 220.feet for aright-inlright-out driveway. site only has 165-feet of frontage on Cherry Lane. Staffdoes not support a variance for a driveway on C Lane. As previously discussed, staff does support a variance for a driveway on Ten Mile Road, located 200-feE north of Cherry Lane. This location aligns with a driveway to a church on the east side of Ten Mile Roa This driveway may be restricted to right turns in the future, if a traffic signal is installed at Ten Mile Ro: Cherry Lane. You stated that the purpose of your Letter was to determine ACHD's procedures to request commission I approval for the Cherry Lane curb cut.

IMPACT FEE BENEFYT ZONE - West Ada IMPACT FEE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT - Western Cities 3. The 1995 Five Year Work Program lists a project far Che: bane from Linder Road to Black Cat Road which will include intersection of Cherry Lane and Ten Mile Road. The road will 'be widened and curb and gutter will be'constructed. ' subject site's frontage on Ten Mile Road is included wit: the project limits. The project has been advertised for c~ struction by the District, anticipating completion this fis~ year. Staff recommends that the applicant provide a deposit to Public Rights-of-Way Trust Fund for the construction of 5-foot sidewalk abutting the parcel. 4. Sugar Creek Drive is an existing road that intersects Che Lane on the north side and is offset from Ten Mile Road 295-feet (measured from back-of-curb to back-of-curb). access for a grocery store on the south side has been appro by the District that aligns with Sugar Creek Drive. The op mum offset fox an access from an intersection of two arteri with a 35 mph speed limit is 330-feet. This offset allows stacking lanes for left turns to Ten Mile Road and the groc store and a transition between the stacking lanes, One access •to Cherry Lane is proposed with an offset of 1 f eet from the intersection with Ten Mile Road and 125-f from the intersection with Sugar Creek Drive. This acc interferes with the stacking lanes described above and lea no designated place ~of refuge for vehicles turning left i the proposed convenience store from Cherry Lane. Therefo staff recommends that the access be allowed for rig in/right-out turns only with a raised median installed Cherry Lane paid for by the developer. 5. One access to Ten Mile Road is proposed with an offset 227-feet from Cherry Lane. Staff recommends that this acc be shifted north 20-feet and the radii on the curb return reduced from 30-feet to 15-feet. 6. Both accesses are proposed to be X10-foot wide curb-ret approaches with 30--foot radii. Staff recommends that access on Cherry Lane be limited to the typical commerc width of 30-feet with 15-foot radii and that the access on Mile Road be limited to a maximum width of 40-feet with foot radii to accommodate simultaneous left and right tt out of the site. 7. This application is scheduled for public hearing by the Mer: an Planning & Zoning Commission on January 10, 1995. JUN 18 '9? 15 21 208 345 ?650 PAGE.12 06/18/97 15:36 '$`208 345 7650 ACRD • ~.

Idaho Avenue Meridian, ID 83642 RE: Proposed Medical Facility - NW Corner of Ten Mile and Cherry Lane Gentlemen: APR - 1 1997 CITY OF ~IE~II3~AP~ In October, 1996, Dr. Geoffrey Swanson met with this Board to present preliminary drawings and specifications for a medical facility on the former Fuller property. In November, 1996, he presented more detailed information on the proposal at a general meeting of all Homeowners. All of the forty-plus attendees recognized the desirability of the proposed facility and several expressed appreciation for the opportunity to comment--before construction. Dr. Swanson answered all questions and took all comments into consideration. On Macch 27, 1997, Dr. Swanson presented the updated plans to the Boazd. We were very pleased with the building design, placement on the lot, and landscaping and Dr. Swanson was very amenable to our suggestions to modify the lighting. We believe this facility will be esthetically pleasing and provide a valuable service to the azea. Although individual homeowners may suggest modifications at the April 15th public hearing, this Boazd supports construction of the facility and recommends that it be approved. Sincerely, In ~ ~hv~ac,~ Vernon Croft President s Meridian City Council April 15, 1997 Page 14 MOTION CARRIED: All Yea ITEM #9: ORDINANCE #759 - VACATION OF EASEMENT/PACIFIC LAND SURVEYORS: Corrie: AN ORDINANCE VACATING THE EXISTING 5 FOOT WIDE PUBLIC UTILITY AND DRAINAGE EASEMENT ALONG THE WESTERLY BOUNDARY OF LOT 36 BLOCK 1, HAVEN COVE SUBDIVISION NO. 5 SUBDIVISION. IT IS A SUBDIVISION OF MERIDIAN, IDAHO AND RECORDED IN THE RECORDS OF ADA COUNTY, STATE OF IDAHO; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Is there anyone from the audience that would like to have Ordinance #759 read in its entirety? Hearing none I will entertain a motion on the ordinance. Rountree: Mr. Mayor, I move that we approve ordinance #759 with suspension of rotes. Bentley: Second Corrie: Motion .made by Mr. Rountree, second by Mr. Bentley to approve ordinance #759 with suspension of rules, any further discussion? Roll call vote ROLL CALL VOTE: Morrow Yea, Bentley -Yea, Rountree -Yea, Tolsma -Yea MOTION CARRIED: All Yea ITEM #10: SITE PLAN REVIEW: FAMILY PHYSICIANS OF MERIDIAN LOCATED AT TEN MILE ROAD AND CHERRY LANE: Corrie: Is there a representative from the site plan here? Yaka: My name is Clinton Yaka, office address 1087 W. River Street in Boise, representing Family Physicians of Meridian. I can point out at this time that Dr. Jeff Swanson is in the audience if there are any questions for him. We are requested by Ms. Stiles to be here to answer any questions on our site plan for the physicians office on Cherry Lane and Ten Mile. Rountree: Do you have an elevation of the building? I have one more question, what is the approximate square footages and how many offices? Yaka: It is approximately 6500 square feet, there are tentatively 3 doctors with the potential of four. Rountree: That is all 1 have. Meridian Cit Council Y April 15, 1997 Page 15 Corrie: Anybody else? Anybody else, Shari or staff? This is just a request just a review at this point. Morrow: The issue is from my perspective I don't have any problem with either the elevation, the design or the site plan. I guess the question is Shari what specifically do you want from us in terms of this proposed project? Stiles: Councilman Morrow, Mayor and Council, the decision by the Council when this came through for the rezone when they proposed a conditional use permit was that it would receive site plan review with input from the neighbors. As I really didn't have another forum to do that I thought it would be best if it was in the public forum and have anybody in the neighborhood that wished to make comment on it to be able to do that. Bentley: Mr. Mayor, have the neighbors been notified on this? Stiles: Yes Corrie: I guess my next question is are there any neighbors out here that want to say anything? Matthews: My name is Linda Matthews, the question I have is with the fencing, my east end of my backyard is up against their west property end property. I am going to have to move my fence, my fence is over the line mainly because the trees are right on the line. My question is when and what kind of fencing is going to go up? Yaka: It will be a six foot high cedar fence to manage the existing fence that is there now. Matthews: When would that go up because I need to take mine down and my question is I really don't want to take mine down until that one goes up. Yaka: We will take it down for you and put it up. Matthews: At the same time, as soon as you take mine down you will put that one up? Then also I had a question with the lighting. I don't know the hours of operation for this, is this just like 8 to 5. Rountree: Doctors hours. Swanson: Most of the time the hours would be 8 to 5, there is probably the potential with the way that society is become double income we might- run hours to 7:00 but that would probably (inaudible) unless there is an emergency or somebody needs to be seen late in the evening. • Meridian City Council April 15, 1997 Page 16 Matt#~ews: But your intent is not to be like these emergency clinics that .are open (inaudible) Swanson: Not at least in the foreseeable future. Matthews: As far as lighting then it would be just like a security type of lighting? Swanson: Yes, just enough for security around the building, it is not going to be another Albertson's. Matthews: (Inaudible) (Discussion Inaudible) Matthews: What is going to happen to those trees that are on the site? Swanson: I am going to try and leave those there and we will make a decision on which side of the trees to put the fence. Corrie: Is there somebody else from the audience that would like to come up? Rowhand: My name is Jerry Rowhand I live at 3255 W. Woodmont. I would just like to thank Dr. Swanson for being as candid and open with the neighbors and working with the neighbors on this project. We are all for it. I wish that we could have better neighbors in the City actually like Dr. Swanson coming and wanting to get involved with the neighbors, make sure that everybody .is happy and to try and convenience everybody and make this a good project and make it work. I think we can live with the dust in the construction and all of that for the sake of being a good neighbor. Thank you. Corrie: Anyone else have anything they would like add? Shelton: My name is Ken Shelton; I live at 3225 W. Woodmont Drive in Meridian. Mr. Mayor and Councilmen, Mr. Crookston, Mr. Berg and ladies and gentlemen I would like to express my appreciation to Dr. Swanson for having met with the Cherry Lane Village Homeowners Association and those residents in Cherry Lane Village. He has been very candid, during the initial design phase of his project several concerns which we expressed to him have been satisfied I believe to the majority of our residents. Lighting the general design of the structure and its aesthetics were discussed and they offered to build us a new fence between the 'residents and the building property. The aesthetic design of the building will fit in quite well with our Cherry Lane Village residential project. The lighting scheme, as early or as late as this afternoon I have spoken with Mr. Leslie Stith of Engineering Consultants and he has assured me that it will not be offensive, that it will be security oriented and reflect in no way to intrude on the neighbors. Again I would like to thank Dr. Swanson for his concern and I believe he will be a welcome Meridian City Council April 15, 1997 Page 17 neighbor in our neighborhood. So therefore I would like to give my full support to this project. Thank you. Corrie: Thank you Mr. Shelton, anyone else? Croft: Vernon Croft, I live at 3410 Woodmont Drive, on four separate occasions Dr. Swanson has met either with the homeowners association general membership meeting or the Board of Directors. We are 100% behind this particular project because it fills the bill for the corner lot at Ten Mile and Cherry Lane. Again my appreciation to Dr. Swanson for all of his support. Corrie: Anyone else from the public? I would like to thank the public for forgiving me for not bringing this up earlier. Council, Mr. Bentley? Bentley: I have one question for the developer. On the signage, I notice on the map you are going to have a sign by the street, what are we looking at? Swanson: Probably we are going to look at a 4 or 5 foot monument sign out front. I haven't decided yet whether we do something that is backlit or have a light shining on the sign. Something small, a monument sign. Morrow: Follow up question Mr. Mayor, are you describing a sign that I am very familiar with on Ustick just east of Milwaukee there is a couple of three or four dental offices that have monument signs that are low profile. Are you familiar with those signs. Swanson: Ustick east of Milwaukee, I am not sure I am familiar with those. But they are a standard professional office sign, about as high as the podium is. Morrow: I believe that is what you are describing because each of those offices, Clint are you familiar with those, did you guys draw those and that is what he is referring to. Thank you. Mr. Mayor, I would move to approve the site plan for Family Physicians of Meridian located at Ten Mile Road. at Cherry Lane. Rountree: Second and with that second I would like to extend a thank you to the good doctor for the efforts that he has made. We appreciate that here as well. Corrie: Motion made by Mr. Morrow, second by Mr. Rountree, any further discussion? Bentley: I too v~rould like to echo those sentiments, it is kind of nice to sit here and have a group that agrees with what is going on so we don't have to sit here half the nigh. So thank you. Corrie: Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor? Opposed? MOTION CARRIED: All Yea Meridian City Council April 15, 1997 Page 18 Morrow. To be the third Councilman, I do think it is a class act, it is a tribute not only to the good doctor and his team but to the Billy Ray Strite folks and the architect. And it is a tribute to the neighborhood and the neighborhood association to come to a meeting and present something positive: Very rarely in government do you see a neighbofiood association do anything but complain about lots of stuff. So it is a tribute to you Vem and Jerry and Linda you had some specific questions but were supportive. So I would like to thank you and the associations that you represent and welcome you to come more. ITEM #11: REQUEST- FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A GENERAL COMMERCIAL USE BY HUNTER INVESTMENTS INC.: Corrie: Counselor, if you would like to speak please. Foley: Thank you I represent Hunter Investments, we have had an opportunity to review the comments from Planning and Zoning. We really don't have any concerns with them we are willing to abide by them. Unlike the last time I was here representing a homeowners group this one seems easier to me. I am willing to stand for questions. Corrie: Thank you Howard. Council, this is not a hearing. Morrow. I think the appropriate measure is that we adopt the findings of fact and conclusions of law as prepared for us by P & Z.
