Rohm: That's a separate issue. I think just for some people in the audience that don't
attend these things often, they should know that this Conditional Use Permit does not
necessarily override any of their --
Borup: Definitely not.
Rohm: -- restrictive covenants.
Borup: Right. Right. It definitely does not. The city does not get involved with
CC&R's.
Rohm: Okay. I just wanted to clarify that for you folks that may not attend.
Zaremba: We have listed the requirement that would make it comply with the
ordinances and the city does not enforce CC&R's.
Rohm: Right. Right. I just thought that that was important to get that out.
Borup: But I definitely feel a lot more comfortable that we are complying with the
ordinances and not having to do exceptions there, too. Okay. We had a motion.
Second. Discussion. Any further discussion? All in favor? Any opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Item 7. Public Hearing: CUP 03-046 Request for a Conditional Use Permit for
a branch bank facility with drive-thru lanes in an L-O zone for Idaho
Central Credit Union by Idaho Central Credit Union -east of South
Locust Grove Road and south of East Overland Road:
Borup: Okay. Item Number 7, Public Hearing CUP 03-046 -- and thank you,
everybody, that testified. Back to CUP 03-046, request for a Conditional Use Permit for
a bank branch facility with drive-thru lanes in an L-O for Idaho Central Credit Union by
Idaho Central Credit Union. I'd like to open this Public Hearing at this time and start
with the staff report.
Kirkpatrick: Chairman, Members of the Commission, this application is for a bank with
four drive-thru lanes. The application is here as a Conditional Use Permit, because of
the drive-thru. The property is located on Overland Road, just to the north of the new
high school and just east of Locust Grove Road. It's in Resolution Business Park. Let's
see, and I will go ahead and show you the site plan. Let's see, a couple things to note
here. The applicant wants to later subdivide this property, so you may -- I noted in my
staff report you may want to condition them to share an access easement on the
southern driveway and the parking -- the parking aisle -- this is actually shown on the
site plan. The parking aisle to the west will stub to the proposed new lot on the -- I
guess it's the western side of the subdivision. If you -- you may want to go ahead -- the
applicant may address this this evening, but they may want to go ahead and add that as

a condition of approval, so you can make sure that those things happen when they do
come back and subdivide this lot and staff is recommending approval of this application.
Are there any questions of staff?
Borup: Could you maybe clarify how that -- the wording on that.
Kirkpatrick: Okay. Let me go to the page in the staff report where I wrote it. Let's see.
If you go to Page 4, special considerations, that was where I noted that if they are
planning to go ahead and subdivide this, they should make sure these things happen.
You could have one condition that the parking aisle on the west side -- on the west side
of the subject property must stub to the proposed new lot and, then, a second condition
of approval would be a shared access easement on the south driveway must be
established.
Zaremba: Are you thinking the stub would be in the lower area down here right?
Kirkpatrick: Correct.
Zaremba: Okay.
Borup: Then, why didn't you just make that a condition of approval to start with?
Kirkpatrick: It's up to you.
Borup: Okay.
Kirkpatrick: And my recommendation would be that those were conditions.
Borup: All right
Zaremba: I have one question, if I may. This is in ACHD's report on their Page 8,
special recommendation to the City of Meridian, Paragraph 3, ACHD's Park and Ride
Division staff has indicated the need for a park and ride location at the application's site.
The district requests that applicant grant the district an easement fora 10 to 12 space
park and ride area at this site. Commuteride staff will contact the applicant to
coordinate blah, blah, blah. My question is if they give up 12 spaces to a park and ride,
will they still comply with our parking ordinances?
Kirkpatrick: Actually, Idaho Central Credit Union or the developer owns -- owns this
entire lot in Resolution Subdivision, so they currently have more than enough property --
Imean (suppose it would depend on what the second use would be that would go in on
the property, but they currently have more than enough parking for the bank and I want
the applicant to address that, the ACRD request, and how they would deal with that.
Borup: Does that conclude?

Kirkpatrick: That concludes staffs --
Borup: Okay. Would the applicant like to come forward?
Christensen: My name is Steve Christensen with Lombard Conrad Architects. Mr.
Chairman, Members of the Commission, we have reviewed the special considerations
and conditions of approval with the owner, Idaho Central Credit Union, for the subject
project and the owner has agreed on the conditions of approval as so stated, including
the stub out of the future access into the property to the west and also the shared
access on that south drive. As far as the comment is concerned on the ACHD, it's our
understanding that that ACHD Comment Number 3 is pertaining to the whole resolution
business park, not just at the Idaho Central Credit Union property, so --
Borup: Have they contacted you? Have they contacted you?
Christensen: ACHD?
Borup: Yes.
Christensen: They have just informed -- they have just forwarded their report to us.
Borup: That was it?
Christensen: Yes for him information, basically.
Borup: Okay. That's not the way I read the letter, so they haven't done what they said
would like to, then.
Christensen: No, they have not contacted me personally.
Borup: Any questions from the Commission?
Centers: No. He agrees with everything. That's the kind of guy I like
Borup: Yes
Christensen: We agree with everything, with the exception of this ACHD comment, so -
- Idon't think it -- I don't believe it's the intent that all these park and share ride parking
spaces be located as part of Idaho Central Credit Union's property, so --
Borup: But if they haven't contacted -- my question would be is if they have contacted
the developer of the whole project and discussed the location with him, but it doesn't
sound like they have followed through on contacting very well.
Christensen: They may have contacted the developer of Resolution Business Park

Borup: Right.
Christensen: But they have not necessarily contacted Idaho Central Credit Union.
Borup: Yes. It seems like that's who they need to contact.
Zaremba: I would think so.
Borup: Okay. Thank you.
Christensen: Great. Thank you.
Borup: Do we have anyone here to testify on this application?
Kirkpatrick: Chairman, Members of the Commission, regarding that ACHD requirement,
we could condition this --
Borup: Well, it wasn't a requirement is how I read it, it was a recommendation.
Kirkpatrick: It's a recommendation. We could require a clarification from ACHD prior to
Council, either they grant them the -- I guess this would be an easement for the 10 to 12
spaces or they have to provide a letter clarifying this, but either way they have to
provide it for the next hearing.
Zaremba: Mr. Chairman, I move the Public Hearing be closed.
Centers: Second.
Borup: Motion and second to close the Public Hearing. All in favor?
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Centers: I don't want to belabor the park and ride, but there is one at Eagle Road and
Overland. There is one at -- behind Gold's Gym and those parking spaces are never full
and -- so end of speech. Let's move on.
Borup: Oh, that's right. I forgot about the one on Eagle. There is already one right
there.
Centers: Yes. Yes. Drive by it every day.
Borup: So, they want one every half mile?
Centers: Yes. Right. Where you can park your bicycle.

Borup: Okay. I think that's a good point. I don't know if every half mile was in -- is that
their plan?
Centers: If it is, it's a bad plan. I don't know mind saying that publicly.
Borup: Okay. The meeting is -- or the hearing is closed. Do we have a motion?
Centers: Yes. Mr. Chairman I will just move right on here. Item 7 on our agenda, I
would like to recommend approval for CUP 03-046, it's a request for a Conditional Use
Permit for a branch bank facility with drive-thru lanes in an L-O zone for Idaho Central
Credit Union by Idaho Central Credit Union. At the east side of South Locust Grove
Road and south of East Overland Road, including all staff comments from their memo
dated October 13`h and our hearing date today, October 16`h. In addition, as the
applicant has agreed, additional requirements would be parking out on the west side of
the subject property will stub to the proposed new lot. Also a shared access agreement
on the south drive shall be supplied. End of motion.
Zaremba: Second
Borup: Motion and second. All in favor? Any opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
